A summary of Article 6 requirements for Consumer Protection Regulation (CPR) by the Central Bank of UAE (CBUAE) With the ever-evolving digital landscape and advancements in technologies that process consumer data, the need for consumer protection and associated rights has grown exponentially. Case in point, the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has issued the Consumer […]
According to a study by Argon Security, software supply chain attacks grew by more than 300% in 2021 compared to 2020. The study also indicated that attackers focus most heavily on open-source vulnerabilities, code integrity issues, and the tools’ exploitation to disrupt any supply chain. What are supply chain attacks? A supply chain attack aims to infiltrate […]
Valentine’s Day is approaching fast. And on this day, if anyone is more active than lovers around the world, it is the cybercriminals. Cybercriminals always look for opportunities to take advantage of oblivious online consumers. From counterfeit gift scams to fake dating apps, their presence is everywhere. Research from security firm Check Point revealed that over […]
The end of 2021 brought with it two high-impact events. One was the appearance of the Omicron variant that has led to a resurgence in the number of cases worldwide. Another was the Log4J vulnerability that reminded us of a similar cybersecurity event that occurred at the end of 2020 – the SolarWinds hack. In […]
Prologue In the previous blogpost, we reverse engineered a binary and extracted the password from within it. This binary however contained a plaintext password. This was good to start for beginners, but you won’t really find such types of binaries in today’s world. In real life, passwords are mostly obfuscated or encrypted. Most of the […]
As you might already be aware that ARM powers a variety of low-powered devices around us, including but not limited to, phones, routers, IoT devices, etc. Therefore, it is only logical to dig into this architecture and understand how it differs from x86 and x64 architectures. For this blog post, we will focus on 64bit […]
Prologue In the previous blog here, we reverse engineered a simple binary containing plaintext password in Linux with the help of GNU Debugger (GDB). In this blog however, we will be using the same source code of the binary but compile and debug it in Windows. Reverse engineering tools in Windows are highly different from […]
Prologue The main focus of this blog is to give a push start to the beginners to get in the field of reverse engineering. Since this is the age of x64, I have skipped x86 architecture and will solely be focusing on x64 assembly. However, all the examples that will be written in C++ can […]
Welcome to the part 4 of malware development .In the previous parts 1, 2-1, 2-2 and 3, we created a binary which can listen to the commands from our botnet server. We also wrote the C2 server in python3 which can handle multiple connections via multithreading and send commands to all of them. In this […]
In the previous parts 1, 2-1 and 2-2 of this series we created a binary that can connect to, and parse commands sent via netcat listener. However, netcat is not an ideal choice for a Botnet Server, and in this post, we will be writing a full-fledged python3 Botnet Server, sending commands to our Bot […]
