Windows named pipes provide fast interprocess communication, but weak access controls can expose privileged services to untrusted processes. ThreatLocker explains how endpoint verification, command authorization, strict input validation, and narrowly scoped privileges can help secure named-pipe communication. [...]
Microsoft says ongoing issues causing games to crash or fail to launch after installing the August 2026 Windows updates may be caused by peripherals with RGB lighting. [...]
Researchers say the new ‘Cryptographic Context Injection’ technique conceals malicious instructions until they are decrypted inside a trusted execution environment. The post Encrypted Prompts Bypass AI Safety Guardrails in Grok and Gemini appeared first on SecurityWeek .
This content discusses the challenges of maintaining online privacy in an environment dominated by surveillance capitalism, where data brokers aggregate personal information to create detailed profiles. It explains how using a single set of identifiers (email, phone number, payment method) across online activities facilitates profiling and increases exposure to breaches, spam, and identity theft. The article promotes the use of multiple digital personas to compartmentalize online identities, thereby limiting correlation and reducing privacy risks. The solution presented is MySudo, an application that enables users to create separate digital identities with distinct contact and payment details to protect personal information.
The Nmap plugin vulners.nse, used for identifying known vulnerabilities based on service/version detection, received a major update after 7 years. The new version 2.0 improves detection accuracy, adds extensive fingerprint rules and HTTP paths, supports parallel probing, and provides clearer, machine-readable output with risk-ranked findings. This update enhances the plugin's capability to identify vulnerabilities more effectively but does not introduce a new vulnerability itself.
This is a Reddit post by a user sharing a project called cybercve.com, which analyzes CVE data from major cybersecurity vendors. The post is a request for feedback and does not describe any specific security threat or vulnerability.
Two industry surveys released this week by Kiteworks and CyberSheath paint a consistent picture of the defense industrial base. The post Contractors’ CMMC Confidence Rises as Ability to Prove It Falls Behind appeared first on SecurityWeek .
In every MFA rollout, there will come a time where you think you are closing in on "done", and some automation to list what's left would be handy. Something quicker than scrolling through the web interface through thousands of accounts ...
One thing that folks never seem to do after "going to the CLOOOOUUUUD" is to look at their logs, logs that they would have checked daily when things were on premise.
This content describes a personal project involving the deployment of SSH and HTTP honeypots (Cowrie and Krawl) on a Raspberry Pi Zero W to simulate attacks and observe malicious activity. The author shares their installation experience, including challenges with architecture compatibility and software dependencies, and invites feedback and ideas for further projects.
This content is a security-news newsletter discussing a recent U.S. presidential memorandum that authorizes private companies to conduct government-directed offensive cyber operations against transnational criminal organizations outside the United States. It highlights the operational and policy questions raised by this new framework, including attribution, overlap of criminal and state infrastructure, and international implications. The newsletter also covers emerging threats such as a Chinese-speaking cybercrime group using agentic AI for sophisticated attacks, and summarizes recent critical vulnerabilities and cybersecurity trends.
Al-Kantara Security is a browser extension designed to enhance user privacy and security by implementing zero-trust browser defense mechanisms. It blocks over 50 fingerprinting vectors, rewrites network headers, encrypts data locally, and monitors threats in real time without sending telemetry or storing data externally. The extension supports Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox browsers and includes features such as an encrypted vault, identity rotation, and a code execution lab. It aims to prevent tracking and fingerprinting through multiple technical protections and live threat intelligence.
