"3 C# encryption patterns that passed security audit"

🚨 From Discovery to Defense: A Responsible Disclosure Story 🚨 During a recent assessment, I uncovered a SQL Injection vulnerability in a live application. Instead of exploiting it, I followed the ethical path — reporting the issue directly to the developers. The best part? 💡 The team was incredibly responsive and professional. Within no time, they validated, patched, and secured the system. This collaboration is a great reminder that security isn’t a one-person job — it’s teamwork. Every vulnerability responsibly reported is one less door open to attackers. 🛡️ Proud to play my part in making the digital world a little safer. 🌍✨ #CyberSecurity #AppSec #EthicalHacking #ResponsibleDisclosure #InfoSec #BugBounty

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐛 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬? 📄 A common but critical vulnerability, 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐋𝐅𝐈), could be putting your data at risk. LFI allows attackers to read 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 and can even lead to full Remote Code Execution (RCE). To help developers and security professionals tackle this threat, I've put together a comprehensive guide. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬: What LFI is and how it works with clear code examples. Common attack techniques, including path traversal and log poisoning. Actionable prevention strategies and secure coding practices. Protecting your applications starts with understanding the risks.

Is cybersecurity inextricably linked to technical debt? Every instance of technical debt represents a potential vulnerability. A fragile system landscape expands the attack surface, creating entry points for malicious actors. Non-native integrations amplify this risk, increasing vulnerability. Technical debt often manifests in operational systems through shortcuts, like maintaining legacy tools, bolting on apps for compliance, or using spreadsheets for processes. While these may offer temporary solutions, they accumulate into a fragile and vulnerable environment. What are some of the ways you've managed technical debt in order to improve system security? #cybersecurity #technicaldebt #vulnerability #systemsecurity #riskmanagement

🚨 New C2 Framework Alert: Adaptix C2 Blends into the Shadows! 👾 Security researchers have uncovered a new, sophisticated command-and-control C2 framework called "Adaptix" that is raising alarms. Here’s what you need to know: 🔍 Designed for stealth, it uses a client-server architecture with a .NET-based client and a PHP-based server panel for full remote control. 📊 Its web panel is feature-rich, offering detailed system information reconnaissance, file management, and live command execution on compromised devices. ⚡ A key feature is its use of Telegram’s API for covert communication, allowing attackers to operate discreetly through the popular messaging platform. 🛡️ The framework employs multiple persistence mechanisms, including registry modifications and scheduled tasks, to ensure it remains on infected systems. This isn't just another tool; it's a sign of the evolving threat landscape where attackers are leveraging legitimate services and building more advanced, customizable kits. What steps is your organization taking to detect and mitigate threats that leverage legitimate communication channels like Telegram? 🤔 #CyberSecurity #ThreatIntelligence #C2 #Malware #InfoSec #CyberThreats #Adaptix #CyberAware #CyberDefense #InfoSecCommunity Link:https://lnkd.in/d_D3sGAN #cybersecurity #infosec

We think about cybersecurity like a fortress. High walls, locked gates. But what if the threat is already in the building materials? That’s the story with the latest software supply chain attack. A worm infected over 180 code packages that developers use every day, even briefly hitting security giant CrowdStrike. The scary part? It spreads on its own. It steals a developer's keys, injects itself into their projects, and then waits for the next person to use that code. This isn’t just a tech problem; it’s a business one. Every piece of software you use is a door into your company. And when a security leader is a target, it’s a clear sign that no one is immune. The real lesson isn’t to stop using these tools. It’s to ask a simple question: "Do we know what our software is made of?" Because sometimes, the best security is just knowing what’s inside.
