In the realm of Linux system administration, security, and advanced operations, the concept of persistence is pivotal. Persistence in Linux refers to the techniques and methodologies used to maintain continuous operations, automate tasks, ensure the execution of critical processes, and sometimes, in the context of security, maintain access. This comprehensive guide delves into various facets…
Account Creation in Linux Linux operating system can usually have two types of account “Root” and “User” account. There are two usually two ways to manipulate the Accounts to maintain the persistence access to the machine : User Account Creation If we (attacker) has compromised the host and want to maintain the persistence access by…

This article delves into the critical role of shims in the Android ecosystem, a platform known for its diversity and fragmentation. Shims, as intermediary layers, are instrumental in ensuring compatibility and functionality across various versions and configurations of Android. The Necessity of Shims in Android’s Fragmented Ecosystem Android’s vast and fragmented landscape presents unique challenges,…
Android shims are small libraries that act as compatibility layers between different versions of the Android operating system. They allow developers to call newer Android APIs on older platform versions that don’t natively support those APIs. Shims provide backward compatibility by implementing newer APIs on top of older platform functionality. This enables apps built with…

Shellcode is a set of instructions used as a payload in the exploitation of a software vulnerability. It is called “shellcode” because it typically opens a command shell from which the attacker can control the compromised machine. However, shellcode can perform a variety of operations, not just opening a shell. Characteristics of Shellcode Compact and…
