∗∗∗ Tutorial: Kubernetes Vulnerability Scanning & Testing With Open Source ∗∗∗ --------------------------------------------- Kubernetes containers have several security risks, including runtime threats, vulnerabilities, exposures, and failed compliance audits. These insecurities motivated CyberArk to develop two open source tools: Kubesploit and KubiScan. These tools benefit the Kubernetes community by performing deep security operations while simultaneously mimicking a real attack. They allow us to test our resiliency. --------------------------------------------- https://www.conjur.org/blog/tutorial-kubernetes-vulnerability-scanning-testi...
∗∗∗ Detecting Karakurt – an extortion focused threat actor ∗∗∗ --------------------------------------------- NCC Group’s Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) have responded to several extortion cases recently involving the threat actor Karakurt. During these investigations NCC Group CIRT have identified some key indicators that the threat actor has breached an environment and want to share this information to assist the cyber security community. --------------------------------------------- https://research.nccgroup.com/2022/02/17/detecting-karakurt-an-extortion-foc...
∗∗∗ Bypassing software update package encryption – extracting the Lexmark MC3224i printer firmware (part 1) ∗∗∗ --------------------------------------------- Lexmark encrypts the firmware update packages provided to consumers, making the binary analysis more difficult. With little over a month of research time assigned and few targets to look at, NCC Group decided to remove the flash memory and extract the firmware using a programmer, firmware which we (correctly) assumed would be stored unencrypted. This allowed us to bypass the firmware update package encryption. With the firmware extracted, the binaries could be reverse-engineered to find vulnerabilities that would allow remote code execution. --------------------------------------------- https://research.nccgroup.com/2022/02/17/bypassing-software-update-package-e...
∗∗∗ Gefahr Datenleaks: Achten Sie auf Passwort-Sicherheit! ∗∗∗ --------------------------------------------- Um sich vor den Gefahren im Netz zu schützen, macht es Sinn, sich regelmäßig über Internetbetrug zu informieren und die Tricks der Kriminellen zu kennen. Doch leider können Sie auch zum Opfer werden, wenn Sie alles richtig machen und sich nicht in Internetfallen locken lassen. Das gilt zum Beispiel, wenn Ihre Daten bei einem sogenannten Datenleak veröffentlicht werden. --------------------------------------------- https://www.watchlist-internet.at/news/gefahr-datenleaks-achten-sie-auf-pass...
