BloodHound is a powerful tool that identifies vulnerabilities in Active Directory (AD). Cybercriminals abuse this tool to visualize chains of abusable Active Directory permissions that can enable them to gain elevated rights, including membership in the powerful Domain Admin group. This guide is designed to help penetration testers use BloodHound to identify these vulnerabilities first, so enterprises can thwart attacks.
Last month, we announced the open beta of Snyk’s new and revamped reporting. Since then, we’ve been amazed at how creative our customers have been in leveraging these new capabilities to answer all sorts of different security questions. We’re not surprised. The new reporting was designed to provide easy access to data across the Snyk platform (including Snyk Code!), and to give customers flexible analysis tools to slice and dice data as they see fit.
As a library focused on building user interfaces rather than a full-fledged framework, React enables developers to choose their preferred libraries for various aspects of an application, such as routing, history, and authentication. Comparatively, Microsoft created TypeScript as an extension of JavaScript to introduce optional static typing to an otherwise loosely typed language.
I share a birthday with the Log4j event. However, unlike this event, I’ve been around for more than one year. On December 9th, 2021, a Tweet exposed a zero-day vulnerability in Log4j, a widely-used piece of open-source software. The announcement made headlines everywhere, and cybersecurity was suddenly put in the spotlight. It was a wake-up call for many because, in an instant, software that had been considered secure was suddenly at tremendous risk.
With threats to cloud native applications rising, security leaders feel more pressure than ever to counter an ever-changing risk landscape. But thanks to a rapidly expanding security solutions market, many respond to these growing demands by adding more products. With so many new tools arising to tackle security challenges, it sometimes seems like the right answer is always “one tool out of reach”.
Mastodon, the free open source self-hosted federated social network platform, has been witnessing a surge of interest and new users due to the recent developments on Twitter — specifically that of verifying accounts. One of the interest areas driving users to Mastodon has been the ability to verify their account identity and convey a sense of authenticity for the account. This provides a way to help prevent spam accounts, bots, and other issues related to fake news.
