Me and @kugg.bsky.social spoke at @disobeyfi.bsky.social about playing hide-and-seek in Java land! We compare traditional Java exploitation with emerging software supply-chain attacks.

If you deal with Java and/or build servers, then this if for you!

Festligt att en app som skapades av en anarkist med dreadlocks blir officiell i Försvarsmakten. www.dn.se/sverige/appe...
Appen Signal blir officiell inom Försvarsmakten
Appen har hotat att lämna EU i protest mot övervakning.

Korea's attempted coup was no less dangerous or politically protected by career opportunists and cowards than the current coup in the US was.

It was shut down in 6 hours. The president was in jail within weeks.

It's only impossible to resist if you are convinced it is impossible to resist.

Last year, I committed to uncovering critical vulnerabilities in Maven repositories. Now it’s time to share the findings: RCE in Sonatype Nexus, Cache Poisoning in JFrog Artifactory, and more! github.blog/security/vul...

I really need the conversation not to veer towards "malicious contributors could just stealthily introduce bugs!" because 1) that's not what happened with xz-utils and 2) we all fuck up sooner or later and the last thing we need is to be accused of being sleeper intelligence agents.

I'm watching some folks reverse engineer the xz backdoor, sharing some *preliminary* analysis with permission.

The hooked RSA_public_decrypt verifies a signature on the server's host key by a fixed Ed448 key, and then passes a payload to system().

It's RCE, not auth bypass, and gated/unreplayable.
This might be the best executed supply chain attack we've seen described in the open, and it's a nightmare scenario: malicious, competent, authorized upstream in a widely used library.

Looks like this got caught by chance. Wonder how long it would have taken otherwise.
Woah. Backdoor in liblzma targeting ssh servers.

www.openwall.com/lists/oss-se...

It has everything: malicious upstream, masterful obfuscation, detection due to performance degradation, inclusion in OpenSSH via distro patches for systemd support…

Now I’m curious what it does in RSA_public_decrypt

Är det möjligt att kriminalisera telefonförsäljning? Alltså ett företag får inte ringa en kund (företag eller privatperson) om inte detta avtalats i förväg.

Så här idag på åttonde mars kan jag konstatera att säkerhetsbranschen inte varit den mest jämställda under de sisådär trettio år jag jobbat där. Fortfarande tror jag medvetenheten om detta är förvånansvärt låg bland de som uppför sig som mest "gubbigt".

Om det är något jag lärt mig efter några år med appsec så är det att dast och sast bara bidrar med en falsk trygghet. Endast om skanningen är anpassad som en regressionskoll av redan kända problem får den en positiv effekt på slutresultatet.

En kritik av pentest branchen. Konkurensen har ökat. Tech kraven gör det svårt för nya att komma in. Hitta en nisch. Skippa konsultlivet, bli inhouse testare först. Bidra till öppen forskning. assume-breach.medium.com/im-not-a-pen...

I keep hearing that there's a void in the InfoSec community because of the uncertainty around Twitter/X. I wonder where this will take us. BlueSky? Mastodon? Or is the party over at Telegram and Discord these days?

P.S. I've been off of social media for a long time.
