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.
Here is a description of what it does. The interesting part from the text bellow is outlined in bold:
I wonder which folder the typical user will select. Hmmm, the Desktop, My Documents? And where all these interesting files are? Mac OS X user, you’ve got a problem. Don’t mount the desktop. […]

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 huge part of what we do is to spot trends and have a look at them before it is too late. Today I would like to talk about Live Mesh, a technology you are probably not very familiar with but it is a brand new thing and it will hit the streets in the next couple of months. Therefore, it is a good candidate for abuse from attackers, bot masters and other friendly inhabitants of the Undernet.
The idea is very simple. […]
A remote vulnerability exists in the QuickTime player for Windows XP and Vista (latest service packs). Other versions are believed to be affected as well. For now, no details will be released regarding the method of exploitation.
Because we are an information security think tank and because we encounter some very interesting vulnerabilities in our work, we often share our findings with the masses in order to give something back to the community. […]
This month our guest blogger is Paul Asadoorian, one of the crew behind PaulDotCom Security Weekly - the best security podcast on the web.

I am stuck at the Dubai International Airport and I have nothing else interesting to do. So, I though I might share a simple technique which will go into the Agile Hacking project. Here I will show you how to create a reverse command shell without using 3rd-party tools such as the all mighty netcat. Please read on!
When the pentester compromises a machine they often need to provide themselves with a user friendly access to the system. This is where command shells come into place. […]
