I've finally gotten around to adding the final touches to the @npub1shl…kwr0 "bot" account.
It should very soon begin to write more Toots. And just to reiterate. The ORLYSEC account will publish from a very strict set of sources, always attributing to original source and no redirects, tracking links etc.
The very purpose of the account is to contribute a fairly high-quality feed of stuff that you probably would like to read/skim.
Let me know if there's something you'd like to see added or changed (content, tags etc.)

Yesterday I got a pair of new headphones, Sony XM6es. Installed the App and for the first time in my life... I read the privacy policy.
I rejected it, and uninstalled the app.
Jesus fucking christ. It's a pair of headphones. They are collecting absolutely everything they can. Location, what I'm listening to, the text-to-speech, the ... anything and everything.
I've probably been naive (quite obviously) but I never thought a pair of headphones and an app to control them would collect this vast amount of data.
EDIT: I may have been to quick to assert that they collect data about other devices beyond my headphones.
Unfortunately I can't accept the terms. I tried to, via GrapheneOS, reject it's request for network access but apparently I have to be connected to the Internet in order to accept the terms. lol

For as long as I can remember I have always had this dreamy view of the US. As a youngster I even went there in my earlier days to try out a career as a model/actor. (Yeah... it didn't really work out!)
But the dream was there, and the "magical" view of the US was there.
Today... it's not quite the same. And it's so incredibly sad. I have many friends, even family, in the US. But I look at the current country leadership with utter disgust. Abusing... abusing almost everything that can be abused.
Bullying smaller countries, bullying and abusing minority and other marginalized groups of people.
Now with the whole Greenland business, Venezuela... when is it going to stop? I feel obliged to limit my use of services and tech from US companies just to do something.
But in so doing I feel I'm also punishing all those who do not support the current government, not supporting the orange man etc.
I'm very conflicted and I'm not quite sure what to feel or think.

EXTRA EXTRA; straight from the Citrix HQ:
Internal memo leaked!
"Dear Development Team,
I've been watching SharePoint get all the attention lately with their shiny new CVE-2025-whatever, and frankly, I'm feeling left out. Remember last month when I was the cool kid with my own 0-day exploits? When every CISO would nervously whisper my name during security meetings?
Now SharePoint is trending on Mastodon while I'm just... sitting here... load balancing traffic like some kind of responsible enterprise appliance.
It's embarrassing.
Could we maybe accidentally expose an API endpoint or something? Just a small remote code execution vulnerability? I promise I'll patch it eventually (after 47 security advisories).
I miss being relevant.

The BSky user decline is undeniable and I don't mean this as an insult to the platform, their current users and what not. But this really has felt inevitable from the start. It never was anything else than another centralized platform, and perhaps now it's beginning to sink in.
The hype has passed, the romantic early cozy feeling has been replaced with the cold and harsh reality of centralized social media platforms.
Hopefully as users begin to notice declining interaction they will come looking for an alternative and perhaps Mastodon has matured enough to cater to at least some of these users looking for a home.

I will "officially" open registrations for a closed beta at the end of May to those interested in joining. This is following an earlier alpha version that a few fedizens have actually tried including @npub1s6e…n008 and @npub1vtx…e7wk . (Trying it doesn't obviously mean they liked it!) ;-)
This is my personal solution to a long-standing issue I've had with more and more low-quality articles being pushed to even high-quality sources. But now I'm turning it into a full-blown SaaS-application (kind of) and specifically target cybersecurity individuals. Too many solutions are aimed at companies with multi-million dollar budget. This doesn't compete with that... but I'm pretty confident it will provide significant benefit and value to those of you trying to keep up-to-date with the daily RSS-feed flow.
I believe I've built something pretty decent and at least to the point where I feel I can rely almost entirely on my Cyber Espresso feeds to surface the "good" content.

I genuinely think that #Passkeys may be the first and only real solution in decades to have a chance at replacing the password/MFA issues.
It will work for individuals as well as organizations and their employees.
Until then we'll have to accept reality which is compromised private computers leaking credentials, and having enforced MFA will help in some instances.

(sophos.com) Evilginx: How Attackers Bypass MFA Through Adversary-in-the-Middle Attacks https://news.sophos.com/en-us/2025/03/28/stealing-user-credentials-with-evilginx/
A short descriptive article about Evilginx and how stealing credentials work, a few suggested ways of detecting etc.
Summary:
This article examines Evilginx, a tool that leverages the legitimate nginx web server to conduct Adversary-in-the-Middle (AitM) attacks that can bypass multifactor authentication (MFA). The tool works by proxying web traffic through malicious sites that mimic legitimate services like Microsoft 365, capturing not only usernames and passwords but also session tokens. The article demonstrates how Evilginx operates, showing how attackers can gain full access to a user's account even when protected by MFA. It provides detection methods through Azure/Microsoft 365 logs and suggests both preemptive and reactive mitigations, emphasizing the need to move toward phishing-resistant FIDO2-based authentication methods.

Yes, this can certainly be a challenge. I'm fortunate enough to be both in a position that enabled me to drop to 80% and also being able to afford it.
I'm fully aware that not everyone has the same opportunity as I do, and I often try to remind myself of this and be grateful for my luck of being born in a safe and secure country, and on top of that... a white male which just by nature gives me privileges others were not born with.

I'm a cybersecurity worker. A husband, also a father of two. Life really do appear to accelerate as you get older. That's also why I decided a while back to reduce my official working hours to 80% before it's "too late".
Each Friday I'm no longer "working". It has enabled me to get some very necessary mental space and calm. Unfortunately I have also noticed that stigma around mental health, especially amongst men.
You are not alpha if you don't work 24/7 and know everything. I wish that it was more acceptable and common that men admitted that they perhaps don't always feel on top of the world.
I guess this is a small step towards that perhaps?

Sekoia: https://blog.sekoia.io/clearfakes-new-widespread-variant-increased-web3-exploitation-for-malware-delivery/
A few days ago Brian Krebs wrote about ClickFix, and now Sekoia has written a technical deep dive of said malicious framework.
In the Sekoia report they analyze the evolution of ClearFake, a malicious JavaScript framework that compromises legitimate websites to deliver malware through drive-by downloads. Since its emergence in July 2023, ClearFake has evolved from displaying fake browser updates to using sophisticated social engineering tactics called 'ClickFix' that trick users into executing malicious PowerShell code. The latest variant (December 2024-February 2025) uses fake reCAPTCHA or Cloudflare Turnstile verifications alongside technical issues to deceive users. ClearFake leverages the Binance Smart Chain through a technique called 'EtherHiding' to store malicious code, making it impossible to remove. The framework has infected thousands of websites and is actively distributing Lumma Stealer and Vidar Stealer malware.

It would appear as if Wiz may have discovered another supply-chain compromise:
https://www.wiz.io/blog/new-github-action-supply-chain-attack-reviewdog-action-setup
The attack involved compromising the v1 tag of reviewdog/action-setup between March 11th 18:42 and 20:31 UTC. Unlike the tj-actions attack that used curl to retrieve a payload, this attack directly inserted a base64-encoded malicious payload into the install.sh file. When executed, the code dumped CI runner memory containing workflow secrets, which were then visible in logs as double-encoded base64 strings. The attack chain appears to have started with the compromise of reviewdog/action-setup, which was then used to compromise the tj-actions-bot Personal Access Token (PAT), ultimately leading to the compromise of tj-actions/changed-files. Organizations are advised to check for affected repositories using GitHub queries, examine workflow logs for evidence of compromise, rotate any leaked secrets, and implement preventive measures like pinning actions to specific commit hashes rather than version tags.

I have made a change to #SweCyb and actually modified the instance to allow for toots larger than 500 characters (now max will be 2000).
While a minor change I do feel that sometimes the 500 limitation is frustrating and I'd like to remove that frustration.

If you perhaps remember the attack against TietoEvry in Sweden... there has been speculation that it was executed because of exactly this.
Attacker escaped from VM into the entire VMware cluster... which led to pretty much a full compromise of the entire datacenter.

Yeah, sorry... I should have made that clear.
I do have some basic "skills" in using git for local versioning, but because I also split my work between two computers I wanted to a reasonably simple way of getting the source code synced between devices using git. I have used syncthing previously but found myself more times than I'd like with some incomplete syncs between devices.
So the PRs is when i push to git, probably (very likely) incorrectly.

If you're using Mastodon and rely on the Web client I highly recommend that you also install the "substitoot" plugin for your browser of choice.
It will automatically, in the background, fetch reply threads, boosts/favourites of toots to give you a more real-[time/view] of a thread even if your particular instance has not seen all the toots.
I have NOT checked the security of this plugin and do not vouch for it in that sense.

There appears to be an abundant and reoccurring number or vulnerabilities in these parts, and given that we appear not to have solved SQLi and ../ weaknesses perhaps this would be a solution?

I intentionally did not attempt to define success (beyond what can be extrapolated from my poll-choices).
For the record, I too think that Mastodon has been very successful. But let's also be frank about it. Millions of users, where only a very tiny fraction contributes financially to the development of the platform.
Not to forget AP, how should that be supported?
I think Onboarding + Discovery is absolute KEY to the success of the network (platform).

Hey... well done 😄
The idea of high quality is certainly somewhat subjective. What I wanted to try and "get at" is companies, organizations, groups, or people doing original cyber security research.
Mandiant investigating a new intrusion-set and campaign.
Krebs breaking a news story about some new crazyness.
BushidoToken tracking new malicious infrastructure.
The basic premise, and idea, was to find those sources.

Looking for help in crowdsourcing "high quality" cyber security related sources. Criteria for inclusion can be found in repository.
To get started I've added 88 sources I believe fulfill stipulated inclusion criteria. Please fork and send PR with other sources you believe should be included.
Aiming to create a reasonably authoritative list with sources not only parroting what others have already written/said.

Will be interesting to see if there is a related uptick of ransomware attacks now that it's even more profitable...

Syftet, i min värld, handlar om att få in fler meddelanden till instansen.
Det räcker inte med att en användare subbar till en given tagg. Det måste finnas Toots som servern har sett.
Jag vill helt enkelt ge mina användare (och mig själv) ett bättre flöde av potentiella meddelanden. Jag bryr mig inte om den federerade tidslinjen.

Tack för tipset, har ansökt om relay-koppling mot Mastodon.nu 🙂

2024-11-10 09:17:28 UTC

Finns det några svenska #relay servrar att koppla upp mot för att öka federationen? Om inte så funderar jag på om det annars vore värt att sparka igång en ny VPS för det ändamålet.
Se till så att det finns en "bra" federation mellan svenska AP-instanser som kör t.ex. Mastodon eller Pleroma. Det ger åtminstone en administratör möjligheten att "förbättra" den federerade timelinen.
Tankar på det?

Owner profile has installed app through Google Play. Trying to install through Private Space Google Play does not work.
But it should work?

Actually there appears to be something about installing ProtonVPN under Private Space. Google Play complains about not being able to install the app.
Have tried experimenting with different permissions etc. But nope, doesn't work.

This is ...I don't know, but a little bit funny. Fortinet is DIGGING DEEP into some Ivanti exploited vulnerabilities.
if only they could dig equally deep into their own shit.

Any #Cybersecurity people on threads that I should follow?
I heard rumours of full 2-way interoperability?

Leaving #Estonia and the very beautiful #Tallinn and some very excellent coffee. Really should come back for a longer visit, a few hours was all I could spare to visit.
Next time, at least a few days :)

Consider me curious. Does anyone have insights into the ransomware ecosystem as it relates to payments made using other currencies besides BC?
Just read the Chainalysis article about ransomware payments, but nowhere (understandably so) do they mention that RaaS may also use Monero, Ethereum etc.
I'm just trying to understand potential shifts to these "alternative" currencies.

... that... could yeah... be useful.
I was kind of thinking like a note next to the export of a mute. So that it's more closely connected with the actual mute/block whatever.
But yeah... perhaps that could work as an intermediate solution!

2024-08-14 19:11:47 UTC

It would be quite useful, when muting a user, that I could provide myself a note for future reference of why I muted the account in the first place.
