Why We Built a Chatbot for the BitNinja Console? In the fast-paced world of server security, getting answers quickly can make a real difference. That’s why we’ve launched the BitNinja Chatbot, a new tool built directly into our console interface to help you get instant support for your technical and product-related questions. While our team […]

Introduction User enumeration and guessable user accounts are critical security concerns for web applications. Attackers often exploit these vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access. Understanding how to identify and mitigate these risks is essential for developers and security professionals. What is User Enumeration? User enumeration occurs when attackers can identify valid usernames through an application’s authentication […]

The current world war isn’t happening in the physical world. However, cyber attacks have stepped into the foreground, and blackhat hackers can gain millions with their targeted attacks. Their main weapon in this war: malware. In this article, we’ll diversify the different types of malware so that you can better understand their behaviour. There are […]

We like attending meetups because we believe that great ideas are created when we share our experience and knowledge. That’s why we decided to organize regularly an IT security meetup in our town, Debrecen. On 24th August, we held our third meetup and we are so happy that the number of the attendees is increasing. […]

As a member of the BitNinja Development Team, one of our most important tasks is to develop the protection of BitNinja. When we deal with such a process we can see how an attack works or how a botnet can exploit a vulnerability. It's almost like watching these events behind the scenes. That's why this […]

Our world would be insecure without bug bounty platforms. We don’t know who we can or cannot trust. If we find a vulnerability in a software as a white hat hacker, we would be afraid to report it to the software owners because we wouldn’t know what their reaction would be. Will they reward or […]

The “Hello, Peppa!” botnet and the /ept/out.php vulnerability were newly discovered attacks by our Attack Vector Miner. But now, it has recognized the reactivation of a forgotten IoT botnet. This botnet exploits the D-Link router DSL-2750B  remote command execution. What does the attack look like?  The discovered pattern is the /login.cgi?cli= as you can see below:  In the case of the D-Link router DSL-2750B firmware 1.01 to 1.03, there’s an option for remote command […]

In a previous article, we’ve discussed the BitNinja safe minimum ruleset for the BitNinja WAF, that consists of 15 rules from the OWASP Core Ruleset, along with 6 rules from the BitNinja rules category. These rules can be safely enabled on the root location pattern on your server. In the BitNinja Ruleset, there are 5 […]

After the “Hello, Peppa!”  zero-day botnet, our Attack Vector Miner detected another zero-day vulnerability.  Some vulnerable websites contain an /ept/out.php file, which can work as an open proxy. That’s why the attacker scans the /ept/out.php file. Let’s see an example:  The number of these attacks started to increase on July 11th, and as we can see in the diagram below, the botnet’s activity is slowing down […]

Our Attack Vector Miner (based on AI) is a very effective tool to identify 0. day attacks. Here comes the first catch! Discovery of a New Botnet At the beginning of July, our Attack Vector Miner created a new cluster, filled with logs about a new type of botnet. We perceived the first incident on […]

In the preceding articles, I’ve talked a lot about the BitNinja safe minimum ruleset template and how you should enable it on your “/” location (or on “*/wp-admin/*” if needed) if you’re hosting mainly WordPress websites. So I’d like to give you a little more explanation about the rules that are part of the safe […]

What is Forum Spam? Forum spam refers to unwanted messages posted on internet forums. These posts typically contain advertisements, links to malicious websites, or trolling content. Spammers aim to get their messages in front of users who would not typically engage with such material. Types of Forum Spam Advertisements: These messages promote products or services […]

How CAPTCHA Works CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It presents challenges that are easy for humans but difficult for bots. The BitNinja CAPTCHA verification page uses different types of tests to block malicious bots effectively. The Importance of CAPTCHA Verification Implementing CAPTCHA verification can significantly reduce […]

Patator was developed out of frustration with existing tools for password guessing attacks such as Hydra, Medusa, and Metasploit modules. It aims to offer a more reliable and flexible approach without merely repeating the shortcomings of its predecessors. Patator is a multi-threaded tool written in Python, designed to facilitate various types of password brute-forcing attacks. […]
