I am about to embark upon probably the most technically demanding tutorial series, Reverse Engineering Malware. Before I do so, I thought I would take a few moments to explain why YOU should study and invest your time into reverse engineering. Please take a moment to read the following and then, hopefully, decide whether this […]

One of the challenges of hacking/pentesting SCADA/ICS has been that the protocols employed by this industry are different and distinct from “normal” IT. SCADA/ICS installations use a wide variety of protocols that often share little with the well-known Ethernet and TCP/IP protocols. For years, this difference has shielded these installations from security issues as a […]

Welcome back to my Reverse Engineering Malware series. In general, reverse engineering of malware is done on Windows systems. That’s because despite recent inroads by Linux and the Mac OS, Windows systems still comprise over 90% of all computing systems in the world. As such, well over 90% of malware is designed to compromise Windows […]

When Wi-Fi was first developed in the late 1990s, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was created to give wireless communications confidentiality. WEP, as it became known, proved terribly flawed and easily cracked. As a replacement, most wireless access points now use Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with a pre-shared key for wireless security, known as WPA2-PSK. WPA2 […]

In the first part of my series on Wi-Fi hacking, we discussed the basic terms and technologies associated with Wi-Fi. Now that you have a firm grip on what Wi-Fi is exactly and how it works, we can start diving into more advance topics on how to hack Wi-Fi. In this article, we’ll take a […]

Often, as part of the exploit development process, we will want to test an application for vulnerabilities, especially buffer overflows. One of the ways we can do that is to send random, varying length, invalid data at the application and see what happens. If we can get the application to crash, this often is a […]

Welcome back, my aspiring hackers! The Metasploit framework has become a multipurpose pentesting tool–but at its heart–it’s an exploitation tool. Up to this point in this series on Metasploit, we have been getting familiar with the various aspects of this tool, but now we will get to the best part, exploitation of another system! In […]

Welcome back, my greenhorn hackers! Often, new modules are developed for Metasploit, but are not included in the base configuration or updates. In such cases, you will need to manually add the module to Metasploit. In reality, this is not difficult with a touch of basic information and a dash of Linux skills. One place […]

This past week, NSA contractor Reality Winner, was caught and arrested for leaking information to the Interecept. This was evidence that the NSA had collected that clearly showed how the Russian hackers had attempted (maybe successfully) to hack the U.S. election system. This may be the MOST definitive evidence of how the Russians hacked the […]
