EDUCATIONAL ECOSYSTEM
FOR CYBERSECURITY SPECIALISTS

Imagine a situation: you managed to penetrate the network perimeter and gained access to a server. This server is part of the company’s internal network, and, in theory, you could penetrate there as well. Too bad, the compromised node is in the DMZ and doesn’t have access to the Internet. Will you be able to get inside in this case?

Attacks on dynamic routing domains can wreak havoc on the network since they disrupt the routing process. In this article, I am going to present my own modification of the Evil Twin attack designed to intercept data in OSPF-based networks. I will also demonstrate how to connect to an offline system, bypass authentication, and perform a malicious LSU injection.

The primary objective of virus writers (as well as pentesters and Red Team members) is to hide their payloads from antiviruses and avoid their detection. Various techniques are used for this purpose. This paper discusses two of them: Herpaderping and Ghosting.

Information security specialists use multiple tools to detect and track system events. In 2016, a new utility called Sigma appeared in their arsenal. Its numerous functions will save you time and make your life much easier.

Too bad, security admins often don’t pay due attention to network equipment, which enables malefactors to hack such devices and gain control over them. What if attackers have already seized control over your peripherals? Will they be able to access the internal infrastructure?

Electronic wallets, such as Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Apple Pay, are considered the most advanced and secure payment tools. However, these systems are also plagued by vulnerabilities because they use technologies created thirty years ago. This article describes techniques used to hack popular electronic wallets, including the new Cryptogram Confusion attack targeting wallets and EMV/NFC cards.

When you attack a network at the data link layer, you can ‘leapfrog’ over all protection mechanisms set at higher levels. This article will walk you through most of the attack vectors targeting this lowest level of the network.
