PSA: Y'all are gonna see less tech content from me here going forwards but I'm not leaving either (you'll be able to find me at @timb_machine" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">infosec.exchange/@timb_machine if you're so inclined). Till it burns down entirely at least, to borrow from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_shal…

Pointed this out before but UNIX sockets are an untapped LPE opportunity:

@dinodaizovi Mainframes are very much still about. I looked at 4 different vendors for the last customer, all with nice green interfaces. Starting another test in the next week.
English

I think of PCs running tn3270 clients to connect to mainframes whenever anyone mentions the hope of fully migrating from legacy to modern systems.
The reality is that we just build new layers on top of them and those legacy systems become our heritage, forever part of our modern environments.

@brianwhelton @UK_Daniel_Card Probably concerned you'll critique their cable management.

@UK_Daniel_Card Spend a lot of time in London, and a fair bit in Paris, I can only think these armed military personnel are scared of me and hiding as I haven't seen any.

@UK_Daniel_Card @Nadsec11 Absolutely, we disclose after every job. I even had our global policy adjusted to allow for it.

@Nadsec11 @timb_machine If they were told and didn’t fix it it’s not really a zero day….. 🤣
(Happy to agree it is but that’s deffo a funny spin on common usage terms)

@UK_Daniel_Card @Nadsec11 Very rarely do I do pen tests as you describe. Strongly dislike the term too, way too generic. Mostly we open white box, with all the attack surfaces covered. Not product tests, but full architectural scope work.
English

@UK_Daniel_Card @Nadsec11 That means if they're using commercial components, you bet we'll have access to the install, creds etc. We'll do infra too, but one attack surface view informs others.
English

@UK_Daniel_Card @Nadsec11 Very rare that I don't walk away with a bucket of 0day. Whether I bring them depends on whether the vendor has fixed them since last time I had a pop.

Not sure using a fictional right wing super hero, with a somewhat problematic narrative was the best idea... But you do you.

@HackingLZ I once asked the red team at an EDR vendor about reporting bugs. The response resulted in me not reporting bugs. Just disclosure things, nothing new here.

Pro-tip: You can still be supportive of gay, bi, lesbian, non-binary, trans, queer folks etc tomorrow, next month, next year etc. Don't limit yourself to just treating them decently for one month!
