How to Detect and Analyze Rootkits on Linux and Windows: Best Practices for Security Professionals Rootkits are among the most insidious forms of malware. They operate at the lowest levels of an operating system, making them difficult to detect, remove, and analyze. In this article, we will explore how security professionals can identify, analyze, and mitigate advanced rootkits on Linux and Windows systems, with special attention to the Red Team (offensive) perspective—how they craft and deploy these attacks—and the Blue Team (defensive) perspective—how they detect and neutralize them. 1. Understanding Rootkits and Their Threat What is a Rootkit? A rootkit is a collection of tools or software components that hide malicious...

Bypassing Modern WAFs: Techniques and Tools Introduction Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) serve as a crucial defense mechanism against web-based threats, filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic to prevent attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and remote command execution (RCE). However, attackers have developed sophisticated techniques to bypass these defenses, rendering traditional WAFs ineffective in certain scenarios. This article provides an in-depth exploration of advanced methods to evade modern WAFs and offers defensive strategies to mitigate these threats. 1. Understanding How WAFs Work WAFs operate by analyzing HTTP requests and applying rule-based filtering mechanisms to detect and block malicious...

Advanced Drive-By-Download Attack: Red Team PoC and Blue Team Defense Strategies Introduction A Drive-By-Download attack is a sophisticated exploitation technique where a victim unknowingly downloads and executes a malicious payload simply by visiting a compromised or malicious website. Unlike social engineering attacks that require user interaction, Drive-By-Downloads often rely on browser vulnerabilities, JavaScript execution, or forced downloads to deliver malicious files stealthily. This article presents an advanced Red Team Proof of Concept (PoC) for conducting a Drive-By-Download attack, followed by an in-depth Blue Team analysis to prevent, detect, mitigate, and counteract such attacks. 🔴 1. Red Team Perspective: Exploiting...
