So regarding this behavior: I've confirmed it, and there's more detail than is in the story. Let's go.

Windows RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. Microsoft is OK with that.
Researchers say the behavior amounts to a persistent backdoor.

Anyone want to hire a threat analyst/security researcher? Haven't been having any luck with the places I've applied to and I'm just past the halfway point of my available unemployment.

Not exactly a flower, but this is a picture I took in 2017 with a Moto G Play and it turned out so good that I still have this photo.

Red Teamers: do NOT neglect SNMP like sysadmins usually do! SO many networks have granted me very quick wins through SNMP enumeration, which can be done with Metasploit, snmpwalk, and onesixtyone:

Enum Windows accounts (spray?):
snmpwalk -c public -v1 $TARGET 1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1.2.25

Idle thought upon reflecting on the week's tragedy.

A community can only claim that title if its members join together in both celebration and tragedy. A true community lightens burdens and amplifies joy. It feeds and heals each other.

I feel like the term has been diluted from that meaning.

Tell you a secret about red team #cybersecurity work:

Almost everyone wants to pretend to be a red teamer; almost nobody had the willingness to put in the real work to become one.

In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising.

I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping.

There's always been a lot of disagreement over whether the OSCP exam is "entry level" for pentesting specifically.

If you fall on the "it's not entry level" side, I'm interested in which parts of the exam you would *not* expect a junior pentester to be capable of doing.

Awesome article by @tailscale.com team. It shows the good stuff that can happen if you take product design security and scalability from the get go. Kudos to the team, and I think at this point I should call myself a fanboy xD

There’s a popular Linux privilege escalation script (linpeas) that’s had a copycat create nefarious linpeas[.]sh.

Linpeas (a great tool) has 0 association with linpeas[.]sh (bad)

To all pentesters and cybersecurity folks who run tools and scripts as part of their job, be careful

Know your tools!
