In the world of cybersecurity, some threats are as terrible and mysterious as zero-day exploits . These attacks take advantage of unknown weaknesses in software or systems—such defects that neither developers nor security teams know about. Due to their secret nature, zero-day exploits strike before a patch or fix is available; often there is mass damage in their wake. These exploits are considered a "holy grail" for hackers, cyber criminal and even nation-states. Whether operating systems, web applications, browsers, or network protocols, zero-day exploitation are highly valuable, highly dangerous and often difficult to detect or rescue. This blog dives deeply under the influence of the real world of history, mechanics, detection methods, exploitation techniques and zero-day attacks. We will also find out how the organizations can secretly prepare these dangers and answer. What is zero-day exploitation? A zero-day exploitation refers to an attack that targets a vulnerabilit...

Cyber security hazards continue to develop, and today is one of the most dangerous and jaw-dropping forms of attack is a targeted form of phishing called spear phishing . Unlike normal phishing campaigns, who have a comprehensive pure expectation for some victims, spear phishing attacks are designed with surgical precision aimed at the purpose of a specific person or organization. Often used as part of comprehensive social engineering campaigns , the spear phishing system depends on human psychology rather than weaknesses. This blog examines the original development, detection, exploitation and prevention of greal fishing attacks. We dive deeply in techniques used by cybercriminals, how these attacks are executed, and how individuals and organizations can identify and defend against them. What is Spear Fishing? Spear phishing is a social engineering attack in which a hacker sends a highly individualized email or message to a specific individual or small group. The goal is to disclos...

In the huge scope of cyber security hazards, fishing and social engineering attacks have emerged as the most frequent and harmful. Unlike traditional attacks that take advantage of software weaknesses, these techniques hunting on human psychology - manipulation in trust, urgency and curiosity. From misleading emails and clone websites to voice calls and SMS scams, fishing develops into more sophisticated threats, often served as entrances for large attacks such as identity theft, ransomware infection and corporate violations. This broad blog examines the history of fishing and social engineering, their methods, detection techniques, exploitation mechanisms and mitigation strategies. 1. Brief history of fishing and social engineering Fishing as a word was first coined in the mid -1990s, which was taken from "fishing", as in wooing the victims with fodder. "PH" converted "F" into a node - the task of hacking the telephone network, was popular in the earlier ...

Under the scope of cyber security dangers, clickjacking stands as a subtle but highly effective attack that manipulates user interactions for malicious purposes. In hidden or clicking on a web page, users can cheat, kidnap the attacker tasks, steal data, or provide unexpected permissions. Although the concept may look simple, damage can cause destruction, especially when sensitive actions or privileged accounts are involved. This blog engage into the full life cycle of clickjacking - how it is exploited by its origin, how can it be detected, and what you can do to stop it. What is clickjacking? Clickjacking , also known as "UI prevention", is an attack where a malicious actor tricks the user to click on something different to do something different, which probably reveals confidential information or appears to be taking control of his computer while clicking on inconsistent web pages. Example: A user feels that they are clicking on the "Play" button to watch the vid...

Web application weaknesses remain a major target for cyber criminal. The most dangerous - yet is still underestimated - the danger is the local file inclusion (LFI) . Similar to the Remote File Inclusion (RFI), LFI involves exploiting an application to include files on the local server. When successfully exploited, attackers can get access to sensitive files, can perform arbitrary code, or even increase privileges. This article provides intensive analysis of LFI: its history, how it works, how it is exploited, how it is detected, and how to reduce risks. What is local file inclusion (LFI)? Local File Inclusion (LFI) is a type of vulnerability that occurs when a web application dynamically incorporates the user input without properly validing files. Instead of loading only safe, intended files, the application inadvertently provides access to local files stored on the server - such as configuration files, credentials, logs or even source code. LFI usually affects PhP -based application...

File inclusion weaknesses - remote file inclusion (RFI) and local file inclusion (LFI) - Describe serious hazards for web applications, especially manufactured with scripting languages like PHP. These flaws execute the malicious codes to the attackers or manipulate sensitive files by manipulating the parameters that control which files are included. From the defense of the website to the full server takeover, the effect of file incidence Attacks can be destructive. In this post, we will stop them how RFI and LFI work, their historical references, detection techniques, methods of exploitation, real -world matters, and most importantly, how to stop them. 🕰 History and Background Early PHP-era Vulnerabilities With PHP’s popularity in the 2000s, many web apps used include/require functions dynamically based on user input. Misconfigured code or lack of input validation led to early inclusion attacks. RFI Inherits from LFI Initially, LFI cases - where local files are included - were more ...
