The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a non-profit foundation devoted to web application security. One of OWASP's guiding principles is that all of their resources should be freely available and simple to find on their website, enabling anyone to increase the security of their own web applications. They provide forums, tools, videos, and documentation among other things.
Every five to ten years, major technology shifts change the way that vulnerability assessment and the related IT risk mitigation processes are approached or implemented. What has remained constant is the formula we use to measure risk and thus prioritize and triage vulnerabilities. Risk = (Likelihood of event) * (Impact of consequences) It’s an approach that intuitively makes sense, but there have been two challenges with how this formula has been applied.
CrowdStrike incident responders have been at the forefront of investigating impacted victims of CVE-2023-34362. Since the release of the vulnerability, there has been great collaboration across the cybersecurity industry, and this blog will cover novel details for teams investigating the potential impact to their organizations.
CVE-2023-34362 is an SQL injection (SQLi) vulnerability that has been found in the MOVEit Transfer web application that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to gain unauthorized access to MOVEit Transfer’s database. SQL Injection (SQLi) poses significant risks as it allows attackers to potentially steal, manipulate, or delete sensitive data from databases.
Ethical hacking refers to the practice of using hacking techniques to identify and expose vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, and applications. Unlike malicious hackers, ethical hackers use their skills and knowledge to help organizations and businesses identify security weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors. Ethical hacking can include a range of activities, from scanning and penetration testing to social engineering and physical security testing.
Ethical hacking is used to find potential security issues in computer systems and networks. In this post, we’ll cover a collection of techniques and procedures commonly used by ethical hackers to find vulnerabilities before malicious users can take advantage.
