Reading Time: 3 Minutes Akamai researchers have released proof of concept exploit code for a critical Windows CryptoAPI vulnerability, which was discovered by the NSA and U.K.’s NCSC and allows for MD5-collision certificate spoofing. Tracked as CVE-2022-34689, this security flaw was addressed with security updates in August 2022, but was not made public by Microsoft until October.

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate existing public x.509 certificates to spoof their identity and perform actions such as authentication or code signing as the targeted certificate.

They have found that older versions of Chrome (v48 and earlier) and Chromium-based applications can be exploited, but believe that there are more vulnerable targets in the wild.

The vulnerability can impact the validation of trust for HTTPS connections and signed executable code, files, or emails and can also provide attackers with the ability to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and decrypt confidential information.

Is pentesting that well paid
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/10lpsuf/is_pentesting_that_well_paid/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I’m I love computers and have wanted to become a penetration for a while now. I am currently having a look at local colleges and 6th forms. I have also looked a lot on indeed to see what skills companies require. I have noticed many junior pentesting jobs are about 30k a year. Where would I go from this position if I were to get it? some senior jobs earn about 70k a year but I would likely not achieve this for years in the field I assume? Thanks in advance Anthony <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/THESEASANIC (https://www.reddit.com/user/THESEASANIC)

Just started learning what is the better OS?

So I’ve been learning python and I’ve been experimenting with different types of Linux os I’ve used Ubuntu and kali but I’ve used both on different types of machine like for example I used the Ubuntu on a vm but I put kali on a usb but it seems to me like little differences between all the os are frustrating to filter out

How to run an Apache server from a Docker container using EC-2?

I'm taking an online course about AWS as it relates to cybersecurity, and it's a bit unclear to me. For a certain task, the instructor told us to run an Apache server from a Docker container using EC-2, and then create a “Hello World” webpage accessible via port 11111 and provide its URL, and to then provide a screenshot of the "docker ps" command output.

Can anyone here help me out a bit by pointing me in the way of some good resources? I'm fairly lost.

Anywhere I can advertise a bounty for my site?

Long story short, I have a business and before launching I’d like it to be as secure as possible so I’d like people to attempt to hack it.

I’d provide proof that I own the site ect and there would be a bounty prize for anybody who got in and amended the flaw
