Windows 10 x86/wow64 Userland heap
Introduction Hi all, Over the course of the past few weeks ago, I received a number of “emergency” calls from some relatives, asking me to look at their computer because “things were broken”, “things looked different” and “I think my computer got hacked”. I quickly realized that their computers got upgraded to Windows 10. We […]
EncFSGui – GUI Wrapper around encfs for OSX
Introduction 3 weeks ago, I posted a rant about my frustration/concern related with crypto tools, more specifically the lack of tools to implement crypto-based protection for files on OSX, in a point-&-click user-friendly way.

Crypto in the box, stone age edition
Introduction First of all, Happy New Year to everyone! I hope 2016 will be a fantastic and healthy year, filled with fun, joy, energy, and lots of pleasant surprises.

How to become a pentester
Intro I receive a lot of emails. (Please don’t make it worse, thanks!) Unfortunately I don’t have as much spare time as I used to, or would like to, so I often have no other choice than to redirect questions to our forums or our IRC channel (#corelan on freenode), hoping that other members […]

As the CSO/CISO/person responsible for Information Security, your job is to… well … do you even know? Does upper management know? “Our crappy CSO …” and “Our stupid CSO …” are statements commonly used by various (techie) people, throwing their hands up in despair, attempting to prove that their CSO doesn’t understand technology and has […]

Last year, Belgacom got hacked by an intelligence service (GCHQ?), Rob says. “What is so interesting about this hack, why did they hack into Belgacom, what would or could be the purpose of a similar hack?” Before answering those questions, we need to take a quick look on how mobile networks work and how mobile […]

After the announcement that she has left Microsoft and now serves as Chief Policy Offer (CPO) at HackerOne. I wanted to ask her 2 questions about this new step in her carreer: Peter: Why HackerOne?

iOS Browsers & UIWebview iOS is very popular (according to StatCounter, it’s the 3rd most popular platform used). Mobile browsers take about 20% to 25% of the market share. iOS offers integration with desktop browsers and cloud (so the same data is available to an attacker). Many 3rd party IOS browsers have similar weaknesses which […]
