In the version of copy-paste compromise that weβll discuss today, malicious actors use open-source or publicly available exploit code, web shells and other tools to gain information. Recently, Australia has revealed [β¦]

Fuzzing is a black-box software testing technique and consists of finding implementation flaws and bugs by using malformed/semi-malformed payloads via automation. Fuzzing an application is not a matter of simply exploiting a specific point of an application, but also acquiring knowledge and potential crashes that could be explored in-depth through the implementation of crafted payloads [β¦]

Introduction: In the previous article of this series, we discussed how format string vulnerabilities can be exploited. This article provides a case study of how format string vulnerabilities can be used to exploit serious vulnerabilities such as Buffer Overflows. We will begin by understanding what stack canaries are and then we will exploit a Buffer [β¦]

Introduction: IoT Manufacturers Favor Convenience over Security Because IoT security is still an afterthought, cybercriminals in general consider smart devices a βlow-hanging fruitβ β a target easy to compromise and manipulate. Security (and privacy) by design is key for IoT, and probably the only effective way for a smart gadget to protect its communications is [β¦]
