Dependency Combobulator is an Open-Source, modular and extensible framework to detect and prevent dependency confusion leakage and potential attacks. This facilitates a holistic approach for ensuring secure application releases that can be evaluated against different sources (e.g., GitHub Packages, JFrog Artifactory) and many package management (https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Management) schemes (e.g., ndm, maven).
Intended Audiences The framework can be used by security auditors, pentesters (https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Pentesters) and even baked into an enterprise's application security program and release cycle in an automated fashion. Main features Pluggable - interject on commit level, build, release steps in SDLC. Expandable - easily add your own package management scheme or code source of choice General-purpose Heuristic-Engine - an abstract package data model provides agnostic heuristic approach Supporting wide range of technologies Flexible - decision trees can be determined upon insights or verdicts provided by the toolkit Easly exstensible The project is putting practicionar's ability to extend and fit the toolkit to her own specific needs. As such, it is designed to be able to extend it to other sources, public registries, package management schemes and extending the abstract model and accompnaied heuristics engine.

Offensive Security Tool: Crypto Steganography

https://www.blackhatethicalhacking.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Untitled-design-2-1.png Offensive Security Tool: Crypto SteganographyPost Views: 199 https://www.blackhatethicalhacking.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/BECOME-A-PATRON-AND-UNLOCK-EXCLUSIVE-VIDEOS-1.png Reading Time: 4 Minutes

Offensive Security Tool: Crypto Steganography GitHub Link CryptosteganographySteganography is the practice of concealing a message within another message or a physical object. In computing/electronic contexts, a computer file, message, image, or video is concealed within another file, message, image, or video. Can be used as part of advanced Phishing simulation techniques or concealing encrypted secret messages.

It is the art of concealing information within different types of media objects such as images or audio files, in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the message. By default steganography is a type of security through obscurity.

Cryptosteganography by Computationalcore is a python steganography module to store messages or files protected with AES-256 encryption inside an image.

Additionally this module also enhance the security of the steganography through data encryption. The data concealed is encrypted using AES 256 encryption, a popular algorithm used in symmetric key cryptography. PrerequisitesPython 3+ pip3

(Most Linux systems comes with python 3 installed by default).
See Also: Recon Tool: WitnessMe Dependencies Installation (Ubuntu)$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip Dependencies Installation (MacOS)To install Python3 its recommended to use Homebrew package manager

The script will explain what changes it will make and prompt you before the installation begins.

$ ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”

Edit your ~/.profile to include (if it is not already there)

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH

To install Python 3:

$ brew install python3
See Also: Apple pays out $100k bounty for Safari webcam hack that imperiled victims’ online accounts InstallationTo install the package just run

$ pip3 install cryptosteganography
See Also: Complete Offensive Security and Ethical Hacking Course UsageUse as a library in a python programStore a message string inside an image

from cryptosteganography import CryptoSteganography

crypto_steganography = CryptoSteganography(‘My secret password key’)

# Save the encrypted file inside the image
crypto_steganography.hide(‘input_image_name.jpg’, ‘output_image_file.png’, ‘My secret message’)

secret = crypto_steganography.retrieve(‘output_image_file.png’)

print(secret)
# My secret message
Store a binary file inside an image

Note: This only works if the concealed file size is smaller than the input image
from cryptosteganography import CryptoSteganography message = None with open('sample.mp3', "rb") as f: message = f.read() crypto_steganography = CryptoSteganography('My secret password key') # Save the encrypted file inside the image crypto_steganography.hide('input_image_name.jpg', 'output_image_file.png', message) # Retrieve the file ( the previous crypto_steganography instance could be used but I instantiate a brand new object # with the same password key just to demonstrate that can it can be used to decrypt) crypto_steganography = CryptoSteganography('My secret password key') decrypted_bin = crypto_steganography.retrieve('output_image_file.png') # Save the data to a new file with open('decrypted_sample.mp3', 'wb') as f: f.write(secret_bin) Use as a python programCheck help at command line prom[...]

5 Types of Cyber Security Threats

A cyber-attack can cause devastating effects on a business. Not only can it shut down your operations, but your reputation can be significantly impacted.

In order to prevent them from happening as much as possible, it’s essential to know what types of threats there are. Below, we will talk about just five that you should watch out for.

Sound interesting? Then let’s get started.

Malware

Malware is one of the most well-known cyber security threats installed through dangerous links and attachments. It can be used to describe other terms, such as viruses, ransomware, spyware, and worms.

Once your computer or device has become infected, it can cause several issues. For example, some may spam you with advertisements, while others will crack passwords and lock your important files.

This is why it can be worth seeking out a managed security services provider to help you establish a great protection plan. It’s better to focus on prevention before it’s too late.

Phishing

Phishing is an attack that uses an email to trick the recipient into sending personal information, such as credit card details. Often, they are disguised to look exactly like a well-known company.

Some emails will contain malware that is installed after clicking on a link, while others will communicate with the recipient directly. Luckily, there are ways to identify them.

You may notice:

– Grammar and spelling errors

– Inconsistencies in email addresses

– Sense of urgency

–Suspicious attachments

Data Spill

A data spill or data breach is when personal information becomes available to another unauthorized person. This could be due to hacking or something as simple as accidentally sending an email to the wrong person.

In order to prevent these types of breaches from happening, businesses can use a variety of tools, such as XDR or Extended Detection and Response. You can read more about how it works here.

Denial of Service Attack

Also known as DOS, Denial of Service attacks overload your system with requests. This can either cause it to shut down or become inaccessible to users.

Compared to the other threats on this list, DOS attacks don’t necessarily aim to steal information but instead cause a company to lose time and money.

Man in the Middle Attack

Like in a spy movie, a “Man in the Middle” attack occurs when a hacker spies between two people to steal information. They are one of the oldest types of cyber threats and aren’t as common as those mentioned above.

This is because the same effect can generally be done with malware. That being said, it’s still something that can cause a lot of damage.

Final Words

And that’s it. These were five types of cyber security threats. By learning more about them, you can focus on building strategies to help protect you and your information.

However, keep in mind there are many others that you may want to look further into, some of which include:

– SQL Injection

– DNS Tunnelling

– Drive-by Attack

– Password Attack

hacking: security in practice
How do companies that investigate dark web data dumps make money?

I was listening to Dark Net Diaries (Marq) and we get told how the data he tries to sell on the dark web ends up being bought but an IT security company who purposely access the dark web and buy these data dumps from hackers so they can investigate the data, see who it belongs to, tell the company and hand over info to the FBI.

My question is where exactly in this process does a company like this make money? In this specific example they legit paid $600 worth of BTC for the data dump, so where are they making this money back + profits? Do the FBI pay them for the info? Do the victim company pay them?

Finding enough info to report a child groomer

Hello. I’m not sure where to post this, but I’ve been in this community for quite a while and you might just be able to help me out.

So long story short, I’ve been contacted by someone claiming they were from Iran and 26. I told her my age - 16 - and she continued to chat as if it were no big deal.

The problem arose when I checked the number linked to her account and it was not from Iran, but rather Australia (where I live). I did the whole grabify thingo and turns out she lives in my city very close to me.

Now, we have learnt a lot of child groomers, pedophiles etc and I can guarantee that this is one and not just one of my friends trolling me (they would’ve said by now since I confronted her).

I was just wondering if there is anything I could do, “hacking-wise” (hate that term), to have enough info to report the person. Because if it’s not me, then she will definitely hunt down someone else. And this is something I cannot stand.

My PMs are open, if anyone would like to suggest something for me to do or discuss about anything that’s happened, steps I should take etc.

I have done the best I can with my abilities and now can only rely on you experts to help me in this situation.

Thank you in advance.
