WPA2 KRACK – What you should know so far … (in simple terms)

As most people, we have been waiting for the release of the technical details surrounding the WPA2 vulnerabilities discovered by Mathy Vanhoef (@vanhoefm).

While the details and the full paper (https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/ccs2017.pdf) are now available, here is a summary aimed at providing the big picture as well as a few recommendations about this attack.

PassFilt.dll – Complexifier sa politique de mot de passe Windows

La gestion des mots de passe en entreprise est un challenge très complexe à appréhender. Les bonnes pratiques que l’on peut trouver un peu partout sont toutes d’accord pour augmenter la taille minimum d’un mot de passe tout en imposant un mélange de tous types de caractères.

Numerous Swiss domain names temporarily hijacked

Last Friday at around 14:05 we noticed that our website (www.scrt.ch) along with some other services we use internally were no longer accessible. We immediately tried to figure out why that was and quickly noticed that our DNS requests were not returning the correct IP addresses.

A pentester’s take on (Not)Petya

By now, everybody has probably read many articles on the latest viral outbreak, ranging from detailed analysis of the virus itself to rants about why companies don’t apply updates in a timely fashion and why employees continue to open malicious attachments in emails.

Insomni’Hack 2017 – FPS Write-Ups

Heap Overflow Vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler Gateway (CVE-2017-7219)

After presenting my findings on the Swisscom router at the CybSecConference last year, I started looking for a new product to analyze.

The goal as always was to discover a way to compromise the device remotely, which is what led me to discover a heap overflow vulnerability which allows an authenticated user to compromise the device with root privileges. During the research, I (un)fortunately wasn’t able to find a way to exploit the flaw without credentials.

recon Bruxelles 2017

Première édition de recon en Belgique en ce début d’année! Le logo de l’évènement change, mais le programme reste le même: Reverse engineering et exploitation. Du coup, pas une seule conférence n’a oublié son screenshot d’IDA Pro (qui est d’ailleurs le sponsor de l’évenement). Comme pour l’édition 2016 de Montréal, les conférences ont duré trois jours avec une seule track, donc pas de remords ni de regrets. 🙂

Je vous propose un aperçu de quelques conférences de cette première édition Européene:
