The CVE-2023-38035 vulnerability can be exploited by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the MobileIron Configuration Service (MICS) Admin Portal, which typically operates on port 8443. The core of the exploitation lies in bypassing authentication mechanisms by targeting specific, poorly secured endpoints within the Ivanti Sentry’s web interface. The vulnerability arises from an insecure Apache […]

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) remains one of the most prevalent and dangerous vulnerabilities in web applications. Despite being well-known in the cybersecurity community, XSS attacks continue to pose significant risks to both users and web applications. This paper explores the intricacies of XSS vulnerabilities, including its types, exploitation techniques, and prevention strategies. Additionally, we examine the […]

Reverse shells are a critical tool for both ethical hackers and malicious attackers. A reverse shell allows an attacker to remotely control a compromised system. While basic reverse shells transmit data in plaintext, leaving them vulnerable to detection and interception, encrypting the communication using SSL/TLS adds a layer of stealth and security. This guide will […]

Maintaining secure and undetectable communication channels is crucial, especially when dealing with penetration testing and ethical hacking. One of the most effective tools for creating encrypted communication channels is Socat, a versatile command-line utility that can establish bidirectional data channels between two endpoints. By integrating Socat with OpenSSL, you can create encrypted reverse shells, which […]

Advanced PHP backdoors represent a significant threat, allowing attackers to maintain unauthorized access to a compromised server, often undetected. This article explores some sophisticated methods hackers employ to embed and obfuscate malicious PHP code, providing examples and strategies for detection and prevention. Obfuscation Techniques Obfuscation is a common tactic used to hide malicious code from […]

SQL Injection remains a prevalent and potent threat. This attack vector allows malicious actors to manipulate SQL queries executed by a web application, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive data. Modern web applications often employ Layer 7 firewalls to detect and block such attacks. However, sophisticated attackers have developed methods to bypass these defenses, one of […]

URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) serve as essential components of the internet’s architecture. However, these tools can also be manipulated by malicious actors to carry out sophisticated attacks. This article delves into how hackers exploit URLs and VPNs, and provides comprehensive strategies to counteract these threats, ensuring robust security. Understanding URLs: […]

In the realm of cybersecurity, adhering to the principle of least privilege is paramount. This principle dictates that users should only have the minimum level of access necessary to perform their tasks. Using an admin or root account for browsing the web, particularly the dark web, contravenes this principle and introduces significant security risks. Why […]

In the complex world of cybersecurity, maintaining and protecting information systems is both critical and challenging. One of the most prominent recent incidents that underscores the intricacies and risks associated with security software updates is the widespread disruption caused by CrowdStrike’s security update. This incident led to significant issues for Windows systems worldwide, affecting numerous […]
