Citizenlab discovered BLASTPASS, a 0day being actively exploited in the image format WebP. Known as CVE-2023-4863 and CVE-2023-41064, an issue in webp's build huffman table function can lead to a heap buffer overflow. This vulnerability is very interesting and I'm excited to share with you what I learned.

Not every security issues can be fixed. There exist (what I call) "unfixable" bugs, where you can always argue and shift the goal posts. The idea is to only report these kind of issues to create an endless stream of bug bounty money!

Let's talk about a "security flaw in hospital software that allows full access to medical devices". This issue was disclosed on LinkedIn and included a full exploit code. Let's use this app as an example on how to find a macOS privilege escalation and learn how local root exploits can work.

Sergey Toshin tells us the story of how he became a top Android bug hunter and how he finds critical vulnerabilities. He also shows us a really cool vulnerability found in the Google Android Snapseed app. I didn't know this crazy attack vector exists!

I stumbled over a weird HTML behavior on Twitter and started to investigate it. Did I just stumble over a generic HTML Sanitizer bypass?
Every year Google celebrates the best security issues found in Google Cloud. This year we take a look at the 7 winners to see if we could have found these issues too. Will I regret not having hacked Google last year?

I stumbled over some WordPress code involving caching. Immediately I had this idea about MD5 collision and how this could affect the implemented logic. I started going down a rabbit hole exploring the feasibility and eventually setting up a PHP debug environment. Only to realize that the idea was flawed from the start. So while this ends up being failed security research, we still learn a lot a...

How will the easy access to powerful APIs like GPT-4 affect the future of IT security? Keep in mind LLMs are new to this world and things will change fast. But I don't want to fall behind, so let's start exploring some thoughts on the security of LLMs.

Copilot, ChatGPT and other AI models become a threat to hackers. We rely on insecure code, but when all developers moved over to code generated by AI, we will lose our job. We need to act fast!
This is an april fools project about how threat actors could start manipulating AI for the future.

In the news, cybercrime is often mentioned in connection to "hacking". Also when accounts get stolen, people say "my account got hacked". But is this really hacking? How does cybercrime actually look like?

While auditing a VSCode Extension + Language Server I noticed something interesting. This turned into the research question "can we attack the extension from the browser?". After a bit of preliminary research I decided to do it again on stream, and eventually made this video. This is how security research can look like.

What is a secure "tunnel"? When I started to learn about computers the name confused me. I couldn't imagine how it works on a technical level. In this video we build upon knowledge from the previous videos, to develop an intuition for what a tunnel, VPN or proxy is.

In this video I try to explain computer networking with pieces of paper. This hopefully explains why in some universities the OSi layer model is taught. While I find the OSI model kinda useless, "thinking in layers" is extremely important. Blackboxes of layers allow us to focus on what matters, and ignore anything else.
