My favorite tech quote is from Giorgio Maone. It goes like this: If today’s malware mostly runs on Windows because it’s the commonest executable platform, tomorrow’s will likely run on the Web, for the very same reason. Because, like it or not, Web is already a huge executable platform, and we should start thinking at it this way, from a security perspective.
Part of my job at GNUCITIZEN is to spot trends. […]
A special guest blogger for this month is Eduardo Vela, also known as sirdarckcat, a security researcher from Mexico. Eduardo has been on the field for a couple of years, mainly focusing on web-app based vulnerabilities, privilege escalation, and IDS/filter evasion.

So here is the scenario: the attacker has limited access to a box and he/she needs to perform a portscan from it. However, he/she does not want to download any tools to the target system.

These are the stuff every guy, who has pocked the browser or the client-side lately, would like to hear about. Behold the File I/O the W3C spec for local file access.

This post is meant to give the House of Hackers community, future sponsors and clients some ideas on how to make most of the system. I will discuss a few ideas around the social networking platform, its capabilities and use. I am also planning to give you clues about in what way 3rd-party organizations can tamper into the network and perform crowdsourcing, etc. At this very moment, we have 348 members. It’s worth having a read of this article. […]
It’s been a long day. I am happy to inform you that the House of Hackers community has reached remarkable 80 members since its opening 10 hours ago. It even got some exposure on Dark Reading (
Hackers in the House), thanks to Kelly Higgins.
The reason I am bringing all this to your attention is because of HD Moore’s comment regarding the House of Hackers initiative:
I think that this comes down again to the public perception of the image of hackers. […]
House of Hackers is an exclusive, hacker community network. The House of Hackers community is established to support the hacker culture, mindset, way of life, ideologies, political views, vision, etc.
Members of the community are able to exchange ideas with each other, communicate, form groups, elite circles and tiger/red teams, conglomerate around projects and participate in the independent, hacker recruitment market. […]
I was going though some feeds that have been aggregating for a few weeks without my supervision and I came to realize that the Web is on fire.
It is not just the hype which is obvious when it comes to things such as AJAX and Web2.0 but it is also about the other things yet to be seen. I see social networks that serve all kinds of purposes popping everywhere. Commercial, private, open, whatever, they all agglomerate people in a very, very rapidly. […]
