In This Video , i will show you guys how we will Embed a Reverse-Shell/Malware As a clickable Button into a Email-HTML Message , for the victim to download and execute to than infect them . Also in the next 2 clips i will show you guys how we can gather IP,Device,Browser,Timezone Information Of a Victim or Inject a Malicious Javascript Code by the beef-xss Framework Hook. These Attacks can be very dangerous as people that arent good with Computers , can fall for these kind of Attacks by Social-Engineering, even Many Big Companies that are trained could have Weakness To These Type Of Attacks!.Especially with Email-Spoofing, sending a Email as if it was From a Trusted Person , but actually the Malicious Actor sends it.

anyone here heard of the flipper zero

i love this thang, it's a little pentester/hacking tool but it looks like one of those cheap petsim games from the 00's

I just love the little guy in it. I could be coerced to break into secure buildings if this guy told me to

found this and couldn't reblog so I'm reposting

first image: two-part meme of joey from friends. first part is a picture of him smiling at something out of frame, captioned "The hotel's free WiFi is really fast". second part is him staring wide eyed in horror, captioned "Your IP address starts with 172.16.42.x".

second image: lain from the anime "serial experiments lain" sitting in a chair in a dim room, in front of a glowing computer screen, and smiling at the camera. the text boxes in the image say:

Hey, guys. Lain Iwakura here to explain the joke.

You see, when a computer like your laptop or smartphone connects to wifi, the router assigns it a "local IP address" to distinguish it from other machines on the network.

Most routers use IPv4 for this, where an IP address is four numbers separated by periods. The first two or three numbers of your local IP address are usually the same for all machines on the LAN, and the most common schemas for local IP addresses are 192.168.0.x or 10.0.0.x. Those are just common defaults - they can be set to anything in the router's configuration.

The address schema 172.16.42.x is not a common default for a normal router. It is the default for a device called a "WiFi Pineapple", which is a hacking tool primarily intended for "pentesting", i.e. finding exploitable vulnerabilities in a computing or networking system. The WiFi Pineapple acts as a router from the perspective of the computers on the local network, but a malicious actor can use it to passively scan those computers for vulnerabilities, and can even spy on network traffic going through it. Thus, the joke is that the person in the hotel, finding that their local IP address is under 172.16.42.x., realizes to their horror that the hotel's LAN has been pwned by a (likely malicious) rogue access point, possibly causing their computer to be cracked and their sensitive information to be stolen by cybercriminals. In light of this breach, their panic is understandable! Always keep your software up to date and never connect to a suspicious or unsecured wifi network!

Symfony Clickjacking Prevention Guide

Clickjacking is a deceptive technique where attackers trick users into clicking on hidden elements, potentially leading to unauthorized actions. As a Symfony developer, it's crucial to implement measures to prevent such vulnerabilities.

🔍 Understanding Clickjacking

Clickjacking involves embedding a transparent iframe over a legitimate webpage, deceiving users into interacting with hidden content. This can lead to unauthorized actions, such as changing account settings or initiating transactions.

🛠️ Implementing X-Frame-Options in Symfony

The X-Frame-Options HTTP header is a primary defense against clickjacking. It controls whether a browser should be allowed to render a page in a <frame>, <iframe>, <embed>, or <object> tag.

Method 1: Using an Event Subscriber

Create an event subscriber to add the X-Frame-Options header to all responses:

// src/EventSubscriber/ClickjackingProtectionSubscriber.php namespace App\EventSubscriber; use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface; use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\ResponseEvent; use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\KernelEvents; class ClickjackingProtectionSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface { public static function getSubscribedEvents() { return [ KernelEvents::RESPONSE => 'onKernelResponse', ]; } public function onKernelResponse(ResponseEvent $event) { $response = $event->getResponse(); $response->headers->set('X-Frame-Options', 'DENY'); } }

This approach ensures that all responses include the X-Frame-Options header, preventing the page from being embedded in frames or iframes.

Method 2: Using NelmioSecurityBundle

The NelmioSecurityBundle provides additional security features for Symfony applications, including clickjacking protection.

Install the bundle:

composer require nelmio/security-bundle

Configure the bundle in config/packages/nelmio_security.yaml:

nelmio_security: clickjacking: paths: '^/.*': DENY

This configuration adds the X-Frame-Options: DENY header to all responses, preventing the site from being embedded in frames or iframes.

🧪 Testing Your Application

To ensure your application is protected against clickjacking, use our Website Vulnerability Scanner. This tool scans your website for common vulnerabilities, including missing or misconfigured X-Frame-Options headers.

After scanning for a Website Security check, you'll receive a detailed report highlighting any security issues:

An Example of a vulnerability assessment report generated with our free tool, providing insights into possible vulnerabilities.

🔒 Enhancing Security with Content Security Policy (CSP)

While X-Frame-Options is effective, modern browsers support the more flexible Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header, which provides granular control over framing.

Add the following header to your responses:

$response->headers->set('Content-Security-Policy', "frame-ancestors 'none';");

This directive prevents any domain from embedding your content, offering robust protection against clickjacking.

🧰 Additional Security Measures

CSRF Protection: Ensure that all forms include CSRF tokens to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.

Regular Updates: Keep Symfony and all dependencies up to date to patch known vulnerabilities.

Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

My Take on Generative "AI"*

Recently I was doing some research into a pentesting technique and I stumbled across a blog supposedly containing a tutorial for the particular tool I was looking into. As I read through this "guide" it started to become clear that it was completely generated via an LLM such as ChatGPT - it had the stilted writing style distinctive of "AI" generated text. What's worse is that even the "screenshots" that the piece featured were generated with an "AI" - something like DALLE or whatever it's called. You'll understand immediately why I could recognise this was generated if you've ever seen one of these image generators try to write text, as it can't actually write text well. The screenshots were garbled. They were total gibberish!

(In my shock I forgot to take a screenshot or even take a copy of the site URL, so you will have to use your imagination as to how the so-called "tutorial" in the previous paragraph looked)

The entire "guide" was useless. None of the text was insightful enough to be of any use, and the images were of nothing.

This made me want to make something clear: none of my tutorials have been, or ever will be, generated by an LLM. None of the images I use have been generated by an image model. My original intention when creating this blog was to strengthen the skills I'm learning by writing about it. I carry out the techniques I teach and any screenshots are taken by me during this process. Truth be told I hardly even use autocorrect while writing (I do try to proofread and correct any errors but I'm sure some slip through - sorry!)

Someone somewhere said this more succinctly than me so to paraphrase:

"Why should I take the time to read this, if someone hasn't taken the time to write it?"

I may one day write some tutorials on hacking LLMs and jailbreaking them, but the actually body of my work is still written by me. Otherwise I don't see the point in writing this. My writing skill isn't the best but I do what I do because I enjoy it and it helps me learn as it hopefully helps you too.

*Throughout this post I have taken care to put certain words in "scare quotes". These should be read in a sarcastic - bordering on mocking - tone. I don't like calling LLMs and image generators "AI" as there is no intelligence to speak of. I use the word for brevity and simplicity however I don't want to lend credence to the idea that a hopped up predictive text is in anyway intelligent.
