One of the reasons Python is so powerful in security testing is its versatility and ease of use. Whether you’re automating tasks, scanning for vulnerabilities, or exploiting weaknesses, Python has you covered. With countless libraries and exploit PoCs available, it’s easy to dive in and start building your own tools.

In today's project, we’re focusing on a Python script that extracts both basic and EXIF metadata from an image, and if available, even pulls out GPS information in a human-readable format. This will give you everything from the camera model used to take the photo to where the picture was snapped.

DVWP, as a concept, is designed to simulate a WordPress website with known vulnerabilities, allowing ethical hackers, cybersecurity students, and enthusiasts to test various WordPress hacking techniques and tools, such as WPScan, in a controlled and legal environment.

Key Features of DVWP Intentional Vulnerabilities: DVWP includes outdated WordPress versions, plugins, and themes with known vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can range from SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), file inclusion, to command injection, etc., providing a broad spectrum of testing scenarios.

  • Real-world Testing Environment: It mirrors real-world WordPress setups, allowing users to understand how vulnerabilities can be exploited and how they manifest in live environments.
  • WPScan Focus: DVWP is an excellent target for WPScan, a popular tool used for WordPress vulnerability scanning. WPScan can detect vulnerable themes, plugins, and misconfigurations in WordPress installations
  • Safe Learning Space: Since DVWP is isolated from the internet or set up in a controlled environment, it provides a safe space for experimentation without the risk of legal issues or harming others.

Master IGNITION on Hack The Box | Kali Linux Challenge

I'll walk you through Hack The Box’s Ignition box using Kali Linux. This machine is part of the Starting Point series, designed for beginners in penetration testing. These notes will reinforce what we've covered, focusing on some essential pentesting techniques.

Service Discovery: We used nmap to scan for open ports and services, which revealed an nginx web server. This step introduces you to identifying services on a target machine.
Virtual Host Resolution: The box redirects to ignition.htb, which requires editing the / etc / hosts file to resolve the domain name locally. This teaches you how to handle DNS resolution.
Directory Enumeration: Using gobuster, we brute-forced directories to locate the Magento admin page. This technique is essential for finding hidden or sensitive web directories.
Exploitation of Misconfigurations: We exploited weak credentials on the Magento login, demonstrating how to gain unauthorized access to a web application by using default or weak passwords.
This walkthrough is designed to help you understand these fundamental penetration testing techniques and are ready to tackle more complex challenges in the future. Keep practicing, and I'll see you in the next tutorial!

You’ve heard about hacking. You’ve heard about AI. Now it’s time to combine the two and create something epic! πŸ’»πŸ€–

In this no-BS live stream, we’re diving deep into how to build your own AI-powered hacking assistant that’ll blow your mind (ethically, of course πŸ˜‰). We’ll be:

⚑ Installing an LLM (Large Language Model) locally with Ollama – because cloud AI? Nah, we’re keeping it in-house.
⚑ Setting up Open Web UI to give you a slick, hacker-friendly interface to interact with your new AI buddy.
⚑ Exploring ways to supercharge your penetration testing game with AI-assisted recon, exploit discovery, and automation.

This isn’t some boring lecture – it’s a hands-on, get-your-hands-dirty hacking jam that’ll have you building tools like a pro. Whether you’re a sysadmin, cybersecurity geek, or just a curious tech junkie, you’ll leave with the skills to own (legally) your next pentest.

πŸ”§ Tools? πŸ”’ Knowledge? 😏 Street cred? You’re about to get it all.

La poderosa tecnologΓ­a de inteligencia artificial de China, DeepSeek, plantea una grave amenaza para la libertad y la estabilidad internacional. Los expertos dicen que, desde perturbar el dominio tecnolΓ³gico global hasta permitir el control autoritario, DeepSeek representa una amenaza terrible para el futuro de la democracia. Comprenda las posibilidades de pesadilla y lo que significa para nuestro futuro colectivo.

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha descrito el ascenso de la empresa china DeepSeek como "una llamada de atenciΓ³n" para el sector tecnolΓ³gico de Estados Unidos. Esta declaraciΓ³n se produce a raΓ­z de que el nuevo modelo de inteligencia artificial (IA) de DeepSeek haya causado una conmociΓ³n en Wall Street.

Las principales acciones tecnolΓ³gicas, incluida Nvidia, experimentaron importantes caΓ­das, y solo Nvidia perdiΓ³ casi 600 mil millones de dΓ³lares (482 mil millones de dΓ³lares) en valor de mercado.

La industria se vio sacudida por el anuncio de DeepSeek de que su modelo de IA R1 se desarrollΓ³ a una fracciΓ³n del costo incurrido por sus competidores. Esta revelaciΓ³n ha suscitado preocupaciones sobre el futuro del dominio de Estados Unidos en IA y la magnitud de las inversiones que las empresas estadounidenses estΓ‘n planeando.

Sorprendentemente, solo una semana despuΓ©s de su lanzamiento, la aplicaciΓ³n de DeepSeek se ha convertido en la aplicaciΓ³n gratuita mΓ‘s descargada en los EE. UU.
