Today RSM is releasing the first of two unpatched vulnerabilities identified within drivers used in the gaming peripheral company Razer's Synapse application. The driver in question is rzpnk.sys (md5: B4598C05D5440250633E25933FFF42B0) which exposes some functionality via an IOCTL interface. Today's vulnerability is an out of bounds read condition that can be exploited by ... READ MORE

Android 7: Intercepting App Traffic
A standard aspect of any mobile application security (MAS) assessment is intercepting and analyzing network traffic generated by the application under test. For the majority of applications, this traffic is HTTP or HTTPS so tools like Burp Suite, Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP), or mitmproxy are invaluable for identifying vulnerabilities and security issues related to the app's ...

All In One OSINT
If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: OSINT is an attacker's best friend. There are a plethora of tools out there that we use everyday as pentesters to accomplish our tasks. For those of you starting out in the field, or are hobbyists, you probably have virtual machine with Kali Linux installed. Kali is a great pentesting tool, the best part about it is it ... READ MORE
Weaponizing hostapd-wpe
TL;DR: Installing hostapd-wpe on a wireless router powered by an external power bank provides a standalone wireless attack platform with good transmit power, concealability, and mobility. Despite being almost 5 years old (but recently updated to support hostapd 2.6), hostapd-wpe is still a go-to tool for assessing the security of wireless clients attached to WPA2 Enterprise ...

Footprinting the Target with Recon-ng
Thank you for dropping in for part 2 of our tutorial series on LaNMaSteR53's Recon-ng information gathering framework. Last time, we focused on the fundamentals of navigation within the tool, selecting, configuring and executing modules, and understanding the output. If you came across this page first, please drop back to Part 1 of the series to get a solid background on the ... READ MORE
Obfuscating Launchers to Limit Detection
Last time, I provided a method for encrypting macro payloads (https://warroom.rsmus.com/encrypt-macros-bypass-sandboxes/) to prevent them from executing correctly in the event they were analyzed in a sandbox. On a somewhat-related note, in this post, I will discuss another method which can help ensure your payload makes it successfully to your target: obfuscation. First, ... READ MORE
Segmenting, Subnetting and You
I completed a week of Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) training and passed the exam. I learned an interesting bit about how to quickly subnet. I would like to focus on how to subnet quickly without a calculator. For blue teamers, this skill is useful for implementing and evaluating segmentation. For red teamers, it can be useful for determining the number of potential ... READ MORE
Reconnaissance with Recon-ng
Intro to Recon-ng Reconnaissance is the first and arguably the most critical phase of any penetration test. It is the first step of the Attacker’s Methodology, and depending on how it is done will define how the test proceeds. This information gathering phase can be done countless different ways, but if it is not done correctly, you end up with very limited information and ... READ MORE
Block Cipher Modes of Operation: A Primer
Block ciphers, as the name suggests, encrypt a cleartext by splitting it into individual blocks. Therefore, a key property of a block cipher is its block size which describes how much data that cipher encrypts at a time. For example, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) has a block size of 128 bits regardless of key size. AES128, AES192, and AES256 all describe the key size ... READ MORE
Flash….Thunder!
So another year has passed and what an active year it was, chocked full of security events, breaches, and account dumps! Accounts that have been breached continue to pop up on multiple sale sites and we continue to see a trend that has plagued the industry for years and years... password reuse. I know what you're thinking, oh boy another blog about password reuse and why ... READ MORE
