Have the WAF security companies got you thinking that a firewall is enough? In a modern landscape, development and security move faster, and so do web application vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, WAF doesn’t prevent many of these events, and hackers of all hats have known ways of bypassing WAF to exploit common and creative web vulnerabilities.
Rickard Carlsson, CEO of Detectify, recently joined as a guest speaker on the Application Security Weekly Podcast hosted by Mike Shema, Matt Alderman, and John Kisella.They discuss how Detectify’s solution is a game changer by combining the speed of automation and hacker expertise, why you should trust developers with security, and how the modern digital landscape requires even devs to look at the asset inventory. We’ve highlighted some interesting points in the interview.
With online retailers and shoppers busy focusing on the upcoming holiday shopping season, cybercriminals are on the hunt for unsuspecting victims to defraud.

Our Crowdsource ethical hacker community has been busy sending us security updates, including 0-day research. For Asset Monitoring, we now push out tests more frequently at record speed within 25 minutes from hacker to scanner. Due to confidentially agreements, we cannot publicize all security update releases here but they are immediately added to our scanner and available to all users. The following are some of the security vulnerabilities reported by Detectify Crowdsource ethical hackers.
Nginx is the web server powering one-third of all websites in the world. Detectify Crowdsource has detected some common Nginx misconfigurations that, if left unchecked, leave your web site vulnerable to attack. Here’s how to find some of the most common misconfigurations before an attacker exploits them. Nginx is one of the most commonly used web servers on the Internet due to it being lightweight, modular, and having a user-friendly configuration format.
25 minutes. That’s how long it took to bring high severity security vulnerabilities to Detectify Asset Monitoring customers from the moment they were discovered. On a more technical side, our Security Researchers, led by Tom Hudson, implemented a high priority vulnerability test to detect an Arbitrary File Read in VMware vCenter, and released it into production in this record time.
Each year we anticipate new research from James Kettle at the annual Black Hat USA event and he’s become known for his web cache research. This year he announced Web Cache Entanglement – new techniques to exploit web cache poisoning. We’ve previously covered his work concerning web cache poisoning and HTTP request smuggling which is intriguing for any software engineer to know about. This article will briefly highlight the main points about Web Cache Entanglement.
