π¦You've probably heard of JWT - Json Web Tokens.
It is a format designed to securely transfer information between two parties, so it is mainly used to authenticate and transmit information in an encrypted way by using different algorithms when it consists of three parts (Header, Payload, and Signature).
I recently visited a website that manages couriers since I myself am waiting for delivery. He is vulnerable, he is not secure, he is "weak." A weakness that I was able to locate was expressed in the fact that the server stores information about couriers (scheduling) for that courier in JWT format. The information inside is by "x" (identifier) and "y" (shipping). There is no defense mechanism in place, which leads to security weakness and damage to credibility.
It turns out (unfortunately) that anyone can edit the payload content (change a shipping ID to data belonging to another user), and without verifying the signature, the server will receive the edited token as valid, which leads to data tampering, exposing details, and also Rxss because it turns out that there is no filtering on user input.
What's more, it's not normal!
The problem with the JWT header is that it contains information such as id and num, for example, while it does not store information about the encryption type (alg) and the type of token (typ) at all. Using a header to store such data is a security weakness because the header is both unsigned and can be easily modified.
Platforms like Portswigger have modules that focus on attacks on jwt that can also be used to learn about secure development

π¦AWS Cloud #tips : The Backbone of Modern Technology!π
π What is AWS (Amazon Web Services)?
AWS is the worldβs most comprehensive and widely adopted cloud platform, offering 200+ fully featured services across compute, storage, databases, networking, AI, IoT, and more. Trusted by millions, AWS enables businesses of all sizes to innovate faster and scale effortlessly.
π Why AWS Stands Out:
1οΈβ£ Global Infrastructure:
β’ Operates across 31 geographic regions and 99 Availability Zones, ensuring low latency, reliability, and scalability.
β’ Plans for 15 more regions are underway, making AWS one of the largest global networks.
2οΈβ£ Cost Optimization:
β’ AWS follows a pay-as-you-go model, meaning you only pay for what you use.
β’ Tools like AWS Cost Explorer and Savings Plans help optimize your cloud spend.
3οΈβ£ Unmatched Security:
β’ Industry-leading security protocols, compliance with over 140 global standards, and data encryption ensure peace of mind.
β’ AWS also provides IAM (Identity and Access Management) for granular security control.
4οΈβ£ Innovation-Driven:
β’ AWS offers cutting-edge tools for AI/ML (SageMaker), Big Data (EMR), and Serverless Computing (Lambda).
β’ Pioneering advancements in Edge Computing with services like AWS Outposts and Wavelength.
5οΈβ£ Ease of Use for Developers:
β’ A user-friendly console, SDKs, APIs, and CLI make building and managing applications seamless.
β’ Offers templates via CloudFormation for infrastructure automation.
π» Most Popular AWS Services
β’ EC2: Scalable compute power for running applications.
β’ S3: Highly durable object storage for backups, data lakes, and archives.
β’ RDS & DynamoDB: Managed relational and NoSQL databases.
β’ CloudFront: Fast and secure content delivery network.
β’ Lambda: Event-driven serverless computing without infrastructure management.
π AWS Certification Pathway
AWS certifications validate your skills and open doors to career opportunities. Popular certifications include:
β’ AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate)
β’ AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
β’ AWS Certified DevOps Engineer
π Who Uses AWS?
β’ Startups: Accelerate development with low upfront costs.
β’ Enterprises: Achieve agility and scale globally.
β’ Developers & IT Professionals: Innovate and build cutting-edge solutions.
π Getting Started:
β’ Try AWS Free Tier to explore its services risk-free.
β’ Explore AWS tutorials, documentation, and online courses to boost your skills.

π¦Detection of teams convoC2 Mainly used by Red Teamers recent days.
Basically it causes out bound requests to C2 Server, exfiltrates command outputs from Adaptive Cards images URLs and inserting data into hidden span tags in Microsoft teams conservations.
The fact that the victim only sends http queries to Microsoft servers and the antivirus doesn't examine MS teams log files and in absence of direct connection between the victim and attacker in this case its very difficult to detect.
Here is the custom KQL to Detect.

The Proofpoint blog outlines a social engineering tactic where threat actors deceive users into copying and pasting malicious PowerShell scripts, causing malware infections. Groups like TA571 use fake error messages to prompt script execution, delivering malware such as DarkGate and NetSupport. Despite needing significant user interaction, the attack's success hinges on sophisticated social engineering. I have developed a custom detection PowerShell Self-Pwn KQL to identify such scenarios and assist SecOps in isolating affected devices.

π¦How Was the TOR Attacker Caught? π΅οΈβοΈ
π The Dark Web often seems like an untraceable haven for anonymity. But even in the world of TOR (The Onion Router), attackers can be caught! Hereβs how:
1οΈβ£ Human Error: Attackers often make small mistakes, like logging in from a non-TOR connection or revealing identifying details in their communications. Even a single misstep can be critical.
2οΈβ£ Traffic Analysis: TOR masks your identity by routing traffic through multiple nodes. However, law enforcement can use advanced traffic correlation techniques to identify entry and exit points, especially when they control some TOR nodes.
3οΈβ£ Compromised Nodes: Investigators may run malicious TOR nodes to intercept traffic. They analyze the data flowing through them, narrowing down potential suspects.
4οΈβ£ Exploits: Vulnerabilities in TOR or the userβs device/browser can be exploited to reveal real IP addresses. For example, Operation Onymous used malware to expose hidden server locations.
5οΈβ£ Metadata Tracking: Even encrypted communications leave traces. Authorities piece together patterns, times, and behaviors to zero in on suspects.
π‘ Key Takeaway: No system is 100% secure. Cybercriminals often underestimate the combination of technical expertise and human ingenuity behind modern investigations.
