Happy Friday! @tifkin.bsky.social and I are happy to announce that we have cut the release for Nemesis 2.0.0 - check out the CHANGELOG for a (brief) summary of changes, and dive into our new docs for more detail! We're extremely proud and excited for this release github.com/SpecterOps/N...
So, here's a little thread on my new open source project:
The Tradecraft Garden.
tradecraftgarden.org
It's Crystal Palace, an open-source linker and linker script specialized to writing PIC DLL loaders.
And, a corpora of DLL loaders demonstrating design patterns building tradecraft with it.
Post-ex Weaponization: An Oral History
aff-wg.org/2025/04/10/p...
A walk-through of some history on post-ex eco-systems used by CS (PowerShell, Reflective DLLs, .NET, and BOFs).
Ends with a coffee conversation talking about magician's guilds, security research, and ideas about what's next.
I attended last week's Pall Mall Process conference in Paris.
I wanted to dump a few notes, writing from my perspective as a security researcher, hacker, former entrepreneur, and creator of a well-known C2 platform (one that, importantly, I'm no longer involved with).

Not sexy things, but they make my day-to-day usage much better. I've seen many people bemoan about Ghidra 's interface. My experience with ANY tool is that things don't change unless the problem is reported to the devs. So reach out and lay out your concerns - they'll respond!
Ghidra 11.3 is out! There's some awesome new features, but I want to highlight how responsive the dev team is to questions, issues, and feature suggestions. They've addressed several issues I've opened, notably a bunch of quality of life UI/UX things I've had while using Ghidra.
The results are in! We're proud to announce the Top 10 Web Hacking Techniques of 2024! portswigger.net/research/top...
@tiraniddo.dev Did you by chance check if the MUP redirector supports port specification in UNC paths?

Want to run roadrecon, but a device compliance policy is getting in your way? You can use the Intune Company Portal client ID, which is a hardcoded and undocumented exclusion in CA for device compliance. It has user_impersonation rights on the AAD Graph 😃

Tech companies could break backwards compat, move off legacy tech stacks, or move to secure defaults but choose not at the risk of affecting profits. Instead they move the risk to their downstream software consumers(businesses) who pay for it it breaches.

On a similar vein of your original post, a hill I'll die on:
The majority of beaches are due to tech providers lack of prioritizing security, and not due to an average company's IT "not securing" their network.
So long and thanks for the CVEs!
Tomorrow, 10am, BinaryFormatter dies.
🆕 New blog post! "Exploiting KsecDD through Server Silos"
In my latest mini research project, I've been working with my teammate @PMa1n (X) on extending the work of @floesen_ (X) on the KsecDD driver. I'm thrilled to finally share the results.
