Let’s tackle a vulnerability that broke out not only in BIG-IP firewalls but also on social media! When a major issue affecting a security product emerges, it immediately makes the headlines, the paradox of the situation impossible to ignore.
Think like an attacker, act like a defender. That’s the pentesters’ mantra, if you ask me. That’s why today we’re diving into one of the most interesting tactics that malicious actors use: vulnerability chaining.
We looked at around 300 DotNetNuke deployments in the wild and discovered that one in five installations was vulnerable to CVE-2017-9822. That includes governmental and banking websites. As part of this research, we discovered a Remote Code Execution vulnerability exploitable through DNN Cookie Deserialization in one of the U.S. Department Of Defense’s biggest websites. After having responsibly reported it through HackerOne, the DOD solved the high-severity vulnerability and disclosed the report, with all details now publicly available.
For the past couple of weeks, a critical RCE vulnerability found in Microsoft Server Message Block 3.1.1 (SMBv3) has kept both the Microsoft users and the security community on their toes. To help our customers better detect if their Windows hosts were affected by the critical SMBGhost vulnerability, we developed and added a new, dedicated scanner on Pentest-Tools.com.
As a penetration tester or a Red Team security consultant, you probably deal with lots of challenges when you want to simulate phishing attacks using social engineering techniques. Because our team’s goal is to make your job easier by providing the right tools, we’ve put together a hands-on guide you can use straight away!
The security team at Pentest-Tools.com has recently performed an in-depth analysis of the SACK Panic vulnerability (which was first disclosed in June 2019) to find out its exploitability against Linux machines. Throughout this research, we’ve identified a new method to detect vulnerable servers using Wireshark, the popular network traffic analyzer.
We are extremely grateful and happy to find out how many users already know about our online platform each time we explore a new context. To know people around the world use Pentest-Tools.com on a daily basis to discover vulnerabilities in websites or networks drives us to achieve even more going forward. In this article, we share our recent experience at the Black Hat Europe 2019 conference and what we learned from it.
In this article, we discuss some of the most recent data breaches, what are their root causes, and how to better secure your most valuable personal information and other digital assets.
For the past months, multiple critical vulnerabilities were found in Exim mail servers that could allow attackers to gain remote access and perform malicious activities: CVE-2019-16928, CVE-2019-15846, and CVE-2019-10149.
