In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, memory forensics has emerged as a pivotal technique in digital investigations. Unlike traditional disk forensics, which focuses on analyzing static data, memory forensics dives deep into the volatile memory (RAM) of a system. This
Introduction to Memory Forensics Memory forensics is a specialized field within digital forensics that involves the analysis of a computer’s volatile memory (RAM) to extract evidence of system activity, running processes, network connections, and other crucial information that is lost
The Windows Downdate attack, as detailed in the sources, hinges on the manipulation of the Windows Update process to achieve a persistent, invisible, and undetectable downgrade of critical system components. The attacker exploits a vulnerability in the update process by
The “Windows Downdate” vulnerability, identified and demonstrated by researcher Anon Leviev, is a downgrade attack technique that leverages Windows Update mechanisms to reintroduce older, vulnerable versions of system files. By circumventing normal update verification checks, this attack allows malicious actors
Post-exploitation in red teaming involves navigating and exploiting a compromised system to achieve deeper control and further access to sensitive data and networks. This phase follows initial access and lateral movement, focusing on persistence, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration. Key
“ROP Gadget Unleashed” delves into the intricacies of Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) and its significance in modern exploitation techniques. The article elucidates how attackers leverage existing code snippets, or “gadgets,” within a program’s memory to craft malicious payloads, thus circumventing traditional

Pompompurin, the notorious owner of BreachForums, has become a well-known figure in the cybercrime world. BreachForums, an underground marketplace for leaked data and illegal hacking services, quickly gained popularity as a hub for cybercriminals to trade stolen information. Pompompurin, who
Introduction from raidforum to intelxbroker Threat intelligence and OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) are powerful tools in identifying individuals behind online aliases or nicknames, especially within hacker forums like BreachForums. OSINT relies on the analysis of publicly available data, such as
System Binary Proxy Execution represents a significant and evolving threat within the cybersecurity landscape, exploiting the very trust that operating systems place in their essential binaries. Attackers’ use of legitimate system processes to execute malicious code challenges traditional security frameworks,
Overview System Binary Proxy Execution leverages legitimate Windows binaries (e.g., rundll32.exe, mshta.exe) to execute malicious code. These binaries are trusted by the OS, allowing attackers to bypass security controls like antivirus and application whitelisting by using these tools to proxy
