We are the beacon of the cyber world, a stepping stone on the road to security.
This tutorial shows how to use a MAX17048 fuel‑gauge module with an ESP8266 (or ESP32) to read voltage, state‑of‑charge and charge‑rate of a 18650 Li‑ion cell, wire the hardware correctly, calibrate the sensor, and publish the data in real time through MQTT for remote monitoring.
A debug flag named FailRelock in Windows' recovery environment disables BitLocker relocking when set to 1, allowing an attacker with a USB drive and a modified INI file to obtain full access to encrypted drives—a fifth such breach in five years, highlighted with attack steps, technical analysis, and mitigation advice.
In 2025, twin brothers with prior cyber‑crime convictions exploited a privileged‑account gap at a federal‑service contractor, erased 96 government databases within six minutes, used AI to seek log‑clearing methods, and triggered a multi‑layered forensic and legal response that highlights critical gaps in identity‑access management, backup integrity, and insider‑threat detection.
WireTapper is an open-source OSINT/SIGINT platform that passively scans and visualizes every nearby wireless device—from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to CCTV and vehicle RF—using a privacy-preserving k-anonymous query, integrates multiple external APIs, and offers a quick two-step deployment with a sleek web UI.
At Pwn2Own Berlin 2026, Trend Micro’s ZDI rejected over 100 zero‑day submissions, prompting researchers to disclose vulnerabilities publicly, which forced Mozilla to issue emergency patches and exposed a systemic mismatch between AI‑driven vulnerability production and the competition’s industrial‑era review capacity, challenging existing CVD policies.
The ODINI attack demonstrates that a computer sealed in a metal Faraday cage can have its RSA private keys, SSH credentials, and passwords stolen by encoding data into the CPU's power‑state rhythm, emitting a low‑frequency magnetic field that leaks out at up to 40 bits per second.
AI relay stations bypass mainland China restrictions by repackaging foreign model APIs, but their three-layer proxy design introduces model substitution, billing manipulation, privacy leakage, and malicious code injection, creating a fragile supply chain that endangers developers, enterprises, and end‑users alike.
This article presents a step‑by‑step red‑team information‑gathering methodology covering domain CDN detection, real‑IP extraction, subdomain enumeration, DNS history analysis, SSL certificate probing, host‑IP collision, company‑level queries, and a curated list of open‑source tools and command‑line examples for each phase.
On May 11, 2024, attackers injected 84 malicious versions across 42 @tanstack packages into the npm registry, all bearing valid SLSA Level 3 signatures, by hijacking TanStack's CI/CD workflow through a Pwn Request, cache poisoning, OIDC token extraction, and rapid release, exposing a critical supply‑chain vulnerability.
In May 2026, Google Threat Intelligence disclosed that a cybercrime group used a large‑language model to autonomously identify a semantic‑logic flaw in a popular open‑source Python‑based web management tool, generate a Python exploit that bypasses its two‑factor authentication, and launch mass automated attacks, prompting new blue‑team detection and defense strategies.
