This week, we dive into some changes to V8CTF, the FortiJump Higher bug in Fortinet's FortiManager, as well as some coverage instrumentation on blackbox macOS binaries via Pishi.
Methodology is the theme of this week's episode. We cover posts about static analysis via CodeQL, as well as a novel blackbox binary querying language called QueryX. Project Zero also leverages Large Language Models to successfully find a SQLite vulnerability. Finally, we wrap up with some discussion on Hexacon and WOOT talks, with a focus on Clem1's In-The-Wild exploit chains insights via Google's Threat Analysis Group.
In this week's episode, we talk a little bit about LLMs and how they can be used with static analysis. We also cover GitHub Security Blog's post on attacking browser extensions, as well as a somewhat controversial CyberPanel Pre-Auth RCE that was disclosed.
In this week's episode, Specter recaps his experiences at Hardwear.IO and a PS5 hypervisor exploit chain presented there. We also cover some of the recently released DEF CON 32 talks. After the conference talk, we get into some filesystem exploit tricks and how arbitrary file write can be taken to code execution in read-only environments.
In this week's episode, we cover the fiasco of a vulnerability in Zendesk that could allow intrusion into multiple fortune 500 companies. We also discuss a project zero blogpost that talks about fuzzing Dav1d and the challenges of fuzzing, as well as rooting Linux via EMFI with a lighter.
In our summer recap, we discuss Phrack's latest issue and talks from the new Off-by-One conference. We also cover some interesting bugs, such as a factorio lua RCE and another RCE via iconv.
In this week's episode, we cover an attack utilizing HSTS for exploiting Android WebViews and abusing YouTube embeds in Google Slides for clickjacking. We also talk about the infamous CUPS attack, and the nuances that seem to be left behind in much of the discussion around it.
In this week's episode, we discuss Microsoft's summit with vendors on their intention to lock down the Windows kernel from endpoint security drivers and possibly anti-cheats. We also talk cryptography and about the problems of nonce reuse.
We are back and testing out a new episode format focusing more on discussion than summaries. We start talking a bit about the value of learning hacking by iterating on the same exploit and challenging yourself as a means of practicing the creative parts of exploitation. Then we dive into the recent Intel SGX fuse key leak, talk a bit about what it means, how it happened.
We are seeking feedback on this format. Particularly interested in those of you with more of a bug bounty or higher-level focus if an episode like this would still be appealing? If you want to share any feedback feel free to DM us (@__zi or @specterdev) or email us at media [at] dayzerosec.com
Many resources for learning exploit development focus on specific tricks rather than underlying principles. My roadmap aims to teach the fundamentals of memory corruption to help you grasp modern, complex exploits.
