Introduction In the ever-evolving world of cyber security, SSL stripping stands out as one of the most deceptive and dangerous threats to web-based communication. As our reliance on web applications continues to grow, so does the importance of ensuring secure data transmission. SSL stripping, a form of man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, poses a direct threat to…
Introduction The Domain Name System (DNS) is often described as the phonebook of the internet. It translates human-friendly domain names like example.com into IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the network. But what happens when this phonebook is tampered with? That’s where DNS poisoning—or DNS cache poisoning—comes into play. In this…
In the ever-evolving world of technology, few stories encapsulate the spirit of innovation and perseverance like that of Malik Idrissi, a Moroccan tech enthusiast who turned his weekend hobby into an international cloud service company. This blog post explores his real-life journey from humble beginnings in a cramped basement to building a scalable, high-performing infrastructure…
Introduction In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, one critical yet often underestimated threat is the downgrade attack. Also known as version rollback attacks, downgrade attacks can severely compromise encrypted communications by coercing systems into using older, less secure versions of security protocols. This comprehensive blog post delves into the mechanisms, risks, real-world examples, and mitigations…
Introduction In the vast and ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, certain vulnerabilities strike fear into the hearts of security professionals more than others. Among the most severe and potentially devastating is Remote Code Execution (RCE). When an attacker gains the ability to execute arbitrary code on a target system, the implications are catastrophic. It’s akin to…
Introduction In the evolving landscape of web application security, many threats go unnoticed or underestimated. One such silent attacker is Host Header Poisoning. Although it doesn’t make headlines like SQL Injection or Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Host Header Poisoning can lead to serious vulnerabilities in web applications, including cache poisoning, password reset poisoning, virtual host routing…
Introduction Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is a critical web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to induce the server-side application to make HTTP requests to an arbitrary domain of the attacker’s choosing. This vulnerability can be exploited to access internal systems, sensitive data, and services behind firewalls that would otherwise be inaccessible from the external…
