Before I begin to explain CSRFs we need to understand some facts. First of all, we have to see how websites usually work when they have a login. Most pages use username/email and password for authentication. In today's world, it's not uncommon for newer sites to support two-step authentication. Normally we use a login once […]

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 […]
