I'd like to thank all of our sponsors for 2025. I'd also really, really, really, want to thank @MDSecLabs, @TrustedSec, @TorGuard, ... and all the individual donors.

Thanks to you, I don't need to beg for money on the internet and can focus on kitty cat pictures and malware.

macOS DYLIB Injection at Scale: Designing a Self-Sufficient Loader Let’s explore Dylib injection and Dylib proxying on macOS (the equivalent of Windows DLL injection)

Binary injection vulnerabilities can be found in many MacOS apps. Those may be abused to bypass EDR, hide backdoor, access memory, or bypass TCC!

DarwinOps provides
- An advanced injection vulnerability scanner
- A redteam scenario to exploit them

With putty, there’s a nice little trick you can do to enable connection sharing and piggy back off their session… helps get around things like mfa 🙃

Our red team is growing and we have a rare open position for a Principal RT Operator - if this sounds like you, get in touch 🙏

Fileless lateral movement with trapped COM objects | IBM New research from IBM X-Force Red has led to the development of a proof-of-concept fileless lateral movement technique by abusing trapped Component Object Model (COM) objects. Get the details.

[Blog] This ended up being a great applied research project with my co-worker Dylan Tran on weaponizing a technique for fileless DCOM lateral movement based on the original work of James Forshaw. Defensive recommendations provided.

Haha you’re clutching at straws there!

You should be honoured to get my first post 😂

So when’s your last day at Fortra? 🙃

It appears Microsoft quietly mitigated most of the risk of the "Intune company portal" device compliance CA bypass by restricting the scope of Azure AD graph tokens issued to this app, making them almost useless for most abuse scenarios. Thx @domchell.bsky.social for the heads up.
