Network penetration testing plays a vital role in detecting vulnerabilities that can be exploited. The current method of performing pen testing is pricey, leading many companies to undertake it only when necessary, usually once a year for their compliance requirements. This manual approach often misses opportunities to find and fix security issues early on, leaving […]
As technology advances and organizations become more reliant on data, the risks associated with data breaches and cyber-attacks also increase. The introduction of data privacy laws, such as the GDPR, has made it mandatory for organizations to disclose breaches of personal data to those affected. As such, it has become essential for businesses to protect […]
GBHackers come across a new ChatGPT-powered Penetration testing Tool called “PentestGPT” that helps penetration testers to automate their pentesting operations. PentestGPT has been released on GitHub under the operator “GreyDGL,” a Ph.D. student at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. It is constructed on top of ChatGPT and works in an interactive way to direct penetration testers […]
A Vulnerability Scanner Tools is one of the essential tools in IT departments Since vulnerabilities pop up every day and thus leaving a loophole for the organization. The Vulnerability scanning tools help in detecting security loopholes in the application, operating systems, hardware, and network systems. Hackers are actively looking for these loopholes to use them […]
Docker is a technology for containerization, while Kubernetes is a tool for orchestrating container deployments. In the subsequent subsections, we will discuss a variety of open-source tools that really are useful for securing Kubernetes clusters. These open source tools involve code snippets that will help with static scanning of Docker images, security auditing, hardening Kubernetes […]
The distribution of QAKBOT malware is resurrected once again by operators of the Black Basta ransomware group on September 8, 2022, after a short leisure break. While the latest distribution mechanism and campaign were identified by cybersecurity researchers at Trend Micro and the attackers using Penetration Testing tools to infiltrate the targeted networks. In this […]
Penetration Testing Companies are pillars when it comes to information security, nothing is more important than ensuring your systems and data are safe from unauthorized access, Many organizations have a flawed security culture, with employees motivated to protect their own information rather than the organization. This sets up an opportunity for attackers seeking ways into […]
Searching vulnerabilities on the host (the host can be a website, web server, network device (router and others), end-user computer) begins with the collection of basic information. This information includes host detection, scanning their ports to search for open, definition of running services at these ports, defining service versions and finding vulnerabilities for these versions, […]
In this tutorial, the specialists of the Cyber Security 360 course of the International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS) will show us how to use ZANTI, a pentesting tool that allows attacks against a certain network, in addition to operating routers, auditing passwords, creating and running HTTP servers, scanning devices for open ports, and more. […]
Applied Programming Interfaces (API) are an essential component of most modern programs and applications. In fact, cloud applications and mobile applications now rely heavily on APIs because they are designed to control various elements. Many large companies have hundreds or even thousands of APIs built into their infrastructure. The number of API interfaces will only […]
During the routine malware sample analysis, researchers from Palo Alto’s UNIT 42 uncovered the new malware sample that contains a malicious payload associated with the Red Team exploitation Tool called ” Brute Ratel C4 (BRc4)” that is used in the Pentesting industry to simulate the adversarial attacks. Threat actors are now moving out from Cobalt Strike and […]
The threat actor behind the prolific Emotet botnet is testing new attack methods on a small scale before co-opting them into their larger volume malspam campaigns, potentially in response to Microsoft’s move to disable Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros by default across its products. Calling the new activity a “departure” from the group’s typical […]
A web application firewall (WAF) is a program designed to analyze incoming requests to a web server and, according to the rules established by administrators, filter those requests that may be dangerous for an online platform. According to specialists in web application security, the use of WAF solutions limits the risk of exploitation of known […]
Kubernetes is a great platform for container management that has shown a breakthrough lately, both in terms of functionality and in terms of security and resiliency. Specialists claim that Kubernetes’ architecture makes it easy to survive different types of outages and stay active despite everything, making it a great option for pentesting. On this occasion, […]
DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC) has revealed that hackers managed to access highly sensitive and personal data of users including payment card data. The Fairfield, Ohio-based DNA testing service DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC) has disclosed a data breach in which sensitive personal and financial data of more than 2.1 million (2,102,436) customers/users has been stolen by […]
The Internet of Things (IoT) is probably one of the most widely used technological concepts in recent times, as it has implementations in all kinds of environments, from complex industrial processes to domestic use. According to pentesting specialists, IoT architecture can be divided into 3 layers: hardware, communication or network and interfaces or services. In […]
Since the big social media companies decided to ban their online accounts, former U.S. President Donald Trump and his team confirmed that they would start their efforts to create and maintain a social media of their own for their supporters; known as Truth Social, the website would begin testing this week. Despite being one of […]
The term web application firewall (WAF) refers to a set of monitoring tools and filters designed to detect and block network attacks against a specific web application. According to pentesting experts at the International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS), these are security tools that, in real time, decide whether to allow or deny access to […]
Pentesting has become one of the main practices of the cybersecurity community and even represents an important source of income for independent researchers and security firms. The most advanced security audits are typically performed on Kali Linux computers with specific hardware requirements, although some scanning processes can be performed using a conventional smartphone or tablet. […]
In the recent era, cyber crimes are happening quite often, and this is not the first time that a cybercriminal group pretending to be a legitimate security group and have impersonated its malware as a security analysis tool or Ethical hacking Tool. However, BI.ZONE Cyber Threats Research Team has detected that the notorious FIN7 hacking […]
The adoption of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology is becoming broader, allowing organizations to communicate over huge distances and very easily. However, most organizations ignore the potential security flaws associated with using this technology. This time, pentesting specialists from the International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS) will show you various methods to search for […]
