Process Creation is Dead, Long Live Process Creation — Adding BOFs Support to PEzor Since the release of Beacon Object Files (BOFs), I wanted to support them as a new kind of output format in PEzor... Let’s dive into this short journey! iwantmore.pizza/posts/PEzor4…

We released our Fuzzilli-based V8 Sandbox fuzzer: github.com/googleprojectzero… It explores the heap to find interesting objects and corrupts them in a deterministic way using V8's memory corruption API. Happy fuzzing!

Another approach to disable EDRs (with anti-tampering). Credit goes to @sixtyvividtails for the idea🧙‍♂️ PendingFileRenameOperations and an NTFS junction, we can ask Windows to delete EDR binaries on reboot (with Admin privs) A link to a complete GitHub PoC follows in replies

I read Google's paper about their quantum computer so you don't have to. They claim to have ran a quantum computation in 5 minutes that would take a normal computer 10^25 years. But what was that computation? Does it live up to the hype? I will break it down.🧵

Releasing full 2+hr video of my browser exploitation workshop from VXCON 2024: youtube.com/live/b9OhamkAY2I In which I show what goes inside the mind of a skilled hacker while exploiting a highly non-trivial vulnerability in v8, from zero to exploit concept. Especially this workflow requires advanced abstract thinking, thereby emphasize the role of theoretical modeling in attacking hard zeroday research targets, which is a part of why it's fun. @zerodaytraining

This has been one of my favorites for a while, but now it's time to let it go. Here's my preferred way of getting the KeePass db that we often hunt for: downgrade the executable to version 2.53, use CVE-2023-24055 and wait for the busy admin to trigger the dump of the database. The target can remain clean and you can simply check for the dump creation. KeePass version 2.53 can still open kdbx created with the version 2.57 and if using a proper xml the user will likely notice nothing. Update alerts can also be disabled within the xml. gist.github.com/naksyn/6d566…

With the #GhostWrite CPU vulnerability, all isolation boundaries are broken - sandbox/container/VM can't prevent GhostWrite from writing and reading arbitrary physical memory on affected RISC-V CPUs. Deterministic, fast, and reliable - no side channels. ghostwriteattack.com/

Here’s a blog post covering all the technical details behind a strcpy bug I found in the Tony Hawk video game series that can be used to hack several gaming consoles and even get RCE on the over the network icode4.coffee/?p=954

We're not talking about espionage. This new LaurieWired video is about Inter-process communication. (ok, it's also about espionage, but only because it's a great analogy) youtu.be/Fb4UoqXPEtI?si=bgYY…
