50+ min ago (386+ words) The vulnerability exists within the React Server Components Flight Protocol, a binary serialization system designed to efficiently stream server-rendered React components to the client. The architectural context is crucial for understanding the exploit: The exploit targets three specific weaknesses in the Flight protocol implementation: This creates a deserialization-to-RCE chain where malicious Flight payloads execute arbitrary code during the RSC rendering process. The exploit employs a sophisticated JavaScript object structure that abuses the Flight protocol's reference resolution system: Security teams should monitor for these exploitation indicators: Tools like React2Shell Ultimate Scanner v2.0 represented a maturation: Current best practices demand: The security community's response has been robust, with rapid patching, extensive detection tool development, and improved security practices emerging across the ecosystem. However, the lasting lesson is clear: as web applications grow more complex through server-side rendering, edge computing, and dynamic module systems, security…...

Security, for example, has become more important for most homes in general. Driven by the demand for robust protection that not only helps protect the owner's privacy but preserve's the property's aesthetics is highly important. In this guide, we'll look at how modern systems can be integrated, invisible, and intelligent to provide security without looking like a fortress from the outside. There are a lot of reasons why home security has become incredibly important in recent years, especially with more households perhaps having more valuables in the home and the increase in crime in some areas making house invasions more of a risk. Visible security measures like cameras and alarm signs are a signal to any potential intruders…...

1+ hour, 49+ min ago (252+ words) We are performing a pentest, and in a binary exploitation exercise, we reach the point where we have to run our shellcode. However, only a buffer space of 50 bytes is available to us. So, we have to optimize our assembly code to make it shellcode-ready and under 50-bytes to successfully run it on the vulnerable server. Tips After spending two frustrating days attempting to optimize assembly code manually, I had an epiphany. The mindset of a hacker differs from that of a traditional programmer. Sometimes, the most efficient solution is choosing the right tool rather than writing code from scratch. I turned to MSFVenom, a powerful payload generation tool. Here's the magic command: msfvenom -p 'linux/x64/exec' CMD='cat /flg.txt' -a 'x64' --platform 'linux' -f 'hex' where: -p 'linux/x64/exec' - select the payload to execute commands CMD='cat /flg.txt…...

In my last group project I have to deal with hashcat to crack hashed passwords but, most important, I had to understand how a good Open Source INTelligence (OSINT for friends) activity can make a significant difference in this activity. First step: thanks to a cool Python script designed by my good friend Zstaigah, we've generated 1000 fake profiles with relative passwords hashed with the SHA-512 algorithm. Then, using a tool called PassGPT we've obtained a first wordlist to try to crack the passwords. In this screenshot you can see the results: So, basically just 12 passwords were discovered. Promising, but yet non satisfactory. Another pass bites the dust. BANG! All passwords cracked. So, what can we learn from this? Something to read:…...

2+ hour, 38+ min ago (1333+ words) News of more than 120,000 Korean home cameras being hacked recently can shake your confidence in connected devices. Stories like that make you picture cybercriminals breaking into homes with high-tech gadgets and spying on families through smart cams. That reaction is natural. But most of these headlines leave out important context that can help you breathe a little easier. First, smart home hacking is rare. Most incidents stem from weak passwords or from someone you already know, rather than from a stranger with advanced tools. Today's smart home brands push out updates to block intrusion attempts, including patches for new AI-related vulnerabilities that often make headlines. Let's break down what actually puts a smart home at risk and what you can do to stay safe.

Founder and Board Chairman Kim Bom-suk / Korea Times file Coupang Inc. founder Kim Bom-suk has said he would not appear for a parliamentary hearing this week over the e-commerce giant's massive data breach that affected nearly 34 million people, lawmakers said Sunday. Kim, the chair of Coupang's board, submitted a statement on his non-appearance for the hearing scheduled Wednesday, according to Democratic Party (DP) lawmakers of the parliamentary science, ICT, broadcasting, and communications committee. Park Dae-jun and Kang Han-seung, former CEOs of the U.S.-listed company's Korean unit, also notified the lawmakers of their non-appearance. Late last month, Coupang disclosed that the personal information of 33.7 million customers had been compromised, including their names, phone numbers, email addresses and delivery details, sparking scrutiny from lawmakers of the company's practices. "Those responsible at Coupang have shunned the public and the National Assembly…...

The program will be located between the application layer of the website and the core firewall of the web server, with the purpose of blocking attacks before they have a chance to exploit a vulnerability." " Mark Friend, Company Director, Classroom365 By focusing on behavioral prediction, CodeLock represents a shift from reactive to anticipatory security, potentially slashing hack success rates by addressing anomalies at their inception. Implementation challenges might include balancing timeout durations to avoid frustrating users, but adaptive algorithms based on user behavior could refine this. Compared to existing tools like session timeouts in frameworks such as Laravel, this app adds cross-device blocking, enhancing protection against sophisticated hackers. "It would auto-delete session data after 5 minutes of being idle and…...
