Reading about phishing can sometimes feel tedious, as many articles simply rehash the same old scenarios and prevention strategies without diving into technical details or offering anything fresh. But don't worry, we've got you covered!
The best ethical hackers build and maintain an outstanding workflow and process because it pays off – big time! When you’re always overwhelmed with work, it’s difficult to make time for tweaks and improvements, even if we both know they have compound returns in the long run.
Back in August 2019, I reported a security vulnerability in Magento affecting versions 2.3.2, 2.3.3, and 2.3.4 using the HackerOne bug bounty platform. The bug impacted some installations of Magento and it allowed us to gain Remote Code Execution based on the way PHAR files are deserialized and by abusing Magento’s Protocol Directives.
If you’re constantly thinking about better ways to discover critical vulnerabilities in systems, you are not alone. As a security researcher, I spend most of my time understanding their root cause and their potential impact on organizations, striving to help other security specialists communicate them effectively.
After weeks of working on auto-exploitation for this critical CVE (CVSSv3 9.8), we finally have it! As a Pentest-Tools.com customer, you can run Sniper Auto-Exploiter to get conclusive proof that validates targets vulnerable to this high-risk vulnerability, which bad actors have already shown interest in.
Due to its increasing popularity and administrative access to most companies’ infrastructure, Zabbix has become a high-profile target for threat actors. So of course a security issue like the Unsafe Session Storage vulnerability attracts motivated cybercriminals. If it’s up to you to find exploitable targets and gather proof for vulnerability validation for your ethical hacking engagements, this guide is for you!
Just a few months after the Log4Shell brutally shook our world, when things started to look calm and peaceful again, the Vulnerability Gods have unleashed upon us. Another similarly named vulnerability in a popular Java framework – Spring4Shell – came to light. Is CVE-2022-22965 as dangerous and as widespread as its (slightly) older sibling? Stick with us to find out!
Citrix systems are very popular, even famous, one could say. They even sponsor Formula 1 teams! But despite their notoriety, they use the FreeBSD OS on their devices and plain PHP for web services, so I got easy access to the code and analyzed it.
Pattern recognition is what hundreds of security specialists in our community voted as the skill to cultivate for a rewarding infosec career. While we have some innate pattern recognition abilities, developing them is essential – and that’s a matter of practice. Working in offensive security gives you plenty of opportunities to do this, with new vulnerabilities ripe for close examination. So let’s go ahead and do just that while discovering how this CVE carries echoes from another vulnerability from a while back.
