In the world of programming, few things spark as much fascination — and fear — as self-modifying code. Imagine a program that, every time it runs, rewrites itself. Not just superficially, but deeply enough that its very structure mutates, while the final output remains unchanged. Welcome to the world of metamorphic programming. Today, we'll explore how we built a Python-based Metamorphic Code Engine, that mutates its own source code during execution. We'll dive deep into how it works, why it matters, real-world uses (including both ethical and malicious ones), and what it teaches us about the future of software.

What is an Open Redirect? An Open Redirect is a web security flaw where an application blindly redirects users to a URL specified via user input, without proper validation or sanitization. Impact: Open Redirects are often considered low-risk, but they can be chained with phishing, XSS, or authentication bypass attacks to become critical vulnerabilities. 🔥 Real-World Exploits 🚨 Phishing: Redirect a victim to a malicious site after clicking a trusted domain. 🚪 Authentication Bypass: Bypass login or OAuth flow using crafted redirect URIs. 🎭 Session Fixation: Lure users into authenticated sessions via a fixed redirect.

🔍 What is an Authentication Bypass? Authentication Bypass occurs when an attacker gains unauthorized access to a system or account without valid credentials due to flaws in authentication mechanisms or logic. This vulnerability can lead to privilege escalation, account takeover, and complete application compromise. 🚨 Real-World Impacts 🕵️‍♂️ Unauthorized account access (admin/user) 🧑‍💻 Privilege escalation to admin or internal dashboards 🏦 Access to sensitive data (PII, card info, internal tools) ⚙️ Full control of web apps or services 🎯 Where to Look for Weak Authentication Logic Authentication logic is often spread across:

How cybercriminals hijacked [email protected], weaponized Google’s own infrastructure, and sailed past SPF, DKIM & DMARC—plus, how you can build your own test lab to reproduce (and defend against) this exploit. 🚀 TL;DR OAuth Abuse: Attacker spins up a throw-away Google account, registers an OAuth app whose Name field contains their entire phishing message. Signed Alert Generation: Granting the app permissions triggers Google’s automated “Security alert” email—signed with Google’s DKIM key. DKIM Replay: The attacker re-injects that exact raw MIME into a custom SMTP relay, preserving the original…
