We are the beacon of the cyber world, a stepping stone on the road to security.
A researcher discovered an unauthenticated debug endpoint in Google Cloud that leaked protobuf definitions, turned it into a "req2proto as a Service", abused Stubby RPC permissions, chained several API calls to achieve full remote code execution, and received a $148,337 bug‑bounty.
In a production‑environment penetration test, the researcher leveraged DeepSeek V4 Pro via a custom Claude Code bridge to craft an XML‑parsing‑error‑based Boolean blind SQL injection that evaded WAF keyword filters, allowing character‑by‑character extraction of all 19 database names within two hours at a cost of only ¥1.4.
Researchers demonstrate that by exploiting NTFS junctions and symbolic links to create recursive directory structures—dubbed GhostTree—a normal user can generate billions of paths that cause EDR folder scans to enter infinite loops, effectively hiding malicious files from detection.
The article examines Microsoft’s $50 billion investment in Anthropic’s Claude Code, its rapid internal adoption, the subsequent cancellation due to unpredictable token‑based expenses, and similar cost overruns at Uber, highlighting a broader AI token‑economics paradox that forces enterprises to rethink large‑scale AI deployments.
When traditional decompilers output unintelligible C‑style code for Rust binaries, Oxidizer restores Rust‑specific structures, enums and macros, achieving up to 28% higher accuracy and 20% faster analysis, as demonstrated on 28 popular Rust projects and validated in user studies.
In May 2026 a hacker named NormalLeVrai released roughly 3 billion WhatsApp records on the dark web, prompting a Texas lawsuit against Meta, a public accusation by Telegram’s Pavel Durov, and a detailed technical analysis exposing gaps between WhatsApp’s end‑to‑end encryption theory and its real‑world implementation, followed by risk assessments and mitigation advice for enterprises and individuals.
A 22‑year‑old college student used a simple cat meme to gain the trust of a mysterious hacker, uncovered critical DNS and ADB vulnerabilities in the Kimwolf residential‑proxy botnet, and collaborated with security experts to dismantle a network that once controlled nearly two million devices.
Google unintentionally released a proof‑of‑concept for a Chromium bug that has lingered unfixed for 42 months, allowing attackers to keep Service Workers alive, turn browsers into silent botnet nodes, and potentially compromise millions of users before a patch arrives.
kn-live-dbg is a lightweight, debugger‑styled Windows kernel memory browser that uses a kernel driver and a user‑mode TUI to read/write virtual and physical memory, enumerate callbacks, parse symbols, and even provide AI‑assisted command planning, offering a faster alternative to WinDbg for specific security research tasks.
GopherTrunk is an open‑source, pure‑Go cluster radio scanner that decodes control channels for ten major digital trunking protocols—including P25, DMR, TETRA, NXDN—and amateur modes, offering zero‑dependency binaries, cross‑platform support, multiple UI options, and advanced DSP pipelines for physical‑penetration testing and radio security research.
