If you’ve ever taken a look inside the Huntress Agent directory you may have noticed the file wyUpdate.exe.
Igor Mikhailov gave his review of the best software and hardware solutions for computer forensics.
Researcher discovered access to non-production Google App Engine environments and internal APIs. This allowed configuring internal settings like Service Account IDs and quotas. Google considered it RCE due to their infrastructure. Access was blocked and a $36,337 reward issued.
Shortly after Lake Formation was made generally available, a bug was discovered that gave anyone the ability to view and override data lake admins for any account (an attacker would have only needed to know the target account number in advance). The root cause was in the Catalog ID, which references the Glue metadata store that Lake Formation uses to store its configuration - none of the methods that used this field actually checked for permissions on the account it was accessing, only the sour…
AWS offers a metadata service accessible to most EC2 Instances via a simple GET request to 169.254.169.254. If an instance has an SSRF vulnerability, attackers can access the metadata service & exfiltrate the credentials of an attached IAM role to gain privileged access to the relevant AWS environment.
The AWS CodeStar service had an undocumented API (codestar:CreateProjectFromTemplate) that allowed users with broadly-scoped CodeStar permissions to create a CodeStar project. As part of the creation process, AWS would create a new CodeStarWorker IAM policy & attach it to the user making the call. This policy granted full access to over 50 AWS services, including iam:AttachRolePolicy, iam:AttachUserPolicy and iam:PutRolePolicy permissions, which would allow the user to escalate to full administ…
Remote Desktop Services (RDS) benefit employees and IT administrators alike. With employees often working from anywhere, remote desktop reduces the physical burden of carrying a work laptop home 🏠. It also makes updating and managing systems easier, which can alleviate the administrative burden when handling a large network.

For 6 years, it was not possible to see what hosted zones an attacker may have created in an account. This issue could be viewed as a business decision that adding the ability to viewing this data was not worthwhile, but the delay is significant and would allow someone that had compromised an environment to maintain a backdoor.
As a technical founder of a product startup, I’m as anti-FUD as it gets. However, the past three years have taught me how education can be a snake-oil free alternative.
Group-IB researchers have discovered 38 families of JS-sniffers, whereas only 12 were known previously.
Group-IB researchers discovered Illum JS-sniffers family designed to steal payment data of customers of online stores.
Group-IB discovered that the stolen payment cards data is sold through an underground store specially created for this purpose.
ReactGet is one of the most interesting families of JS-sniffers, designed to steal banking cards data from online stores.

Periodically, a large scale cybersecurity issue requires “all hands on deck” from the Huntress Team (see WannaCry, Kaseya Cryptominer, GANDGRAB outbreak). The unfolding ASUS Live Update fiasco also happens to be one of those moments. We’ve created this blog is to provide simple answers to a complex supply chain attack affecting global IT Departments.
A vulnerability was discovered and disclosed in late 2017 that affected the ConnectWise ManagedITSync integration, designed to sync data between the ConnectWise Manage PSA and the Kaseya VSA RMM.
Currently, a total of 80% of pirated films and almost 90% of TV series are being watched online
A GCP Organizations name could be changed through the (deprecated) organizations.update method in the Resource Manager, even though the documentation said the "displayName" was read-only. With this, I could have my own organization and name it as another one and confuse users: - Rename an organization ".com" - Share it with "domain:.com" (Effectively sharing it with every Google user with a @.com account) - Profit from unsuspecting users creating resources in my organization, specially billing …
If attacker controlled data is viewed in Cloudshell it could have led to code execution. This exact same issue was later discovered in AWS as well.
Does AUTOEXEC.BAT still run on modern Windows? We test Windows 7/10, explore registry persistence, and revisit how attackers maintain access today.
Resource policies lacked a way of restricting service access to only your own account, allowing an attacker to leverage a service to potentially access your resources. Originally discovered by Dan Peebles and presented at re:Invent in 2018, this issue did not gain enough attention to be fixed until Shir Tamari and Ami Luttwak from Wiz presented it at Black Hat 2021.

Preventive security products like antivirus have made major strides in their ability to detect malicious behaviors as opposed to weak/static signatures. When implemented properly, these heuristics are capable of discovering even the most cleverly obfuscated routines. But don’t ring the victory bells yet. This cat-and-mouse game is just getting started…
