Fellow data nerds: here's a snapshot of the vulnerability root cause trends for Microsoft Remote Code Execution (RCE) CVEs, 2006 through 2017.
A few callouts: heap corruption, type confusion, and uninit increased in 2017. Use after free steady y/y but proportionally declined.
Meet the Windows 7 Meltdown patch from January. It stopped Meltdown but opened up a vulnerability way worse ... It allowed any process to read the complete memory contents at gigabytes per second, oh - it was possible to write to arbitrary memory as well.

So this https://t.co/vYktqat10K business... CTS Labs asked us to review their research last week, and sent us a full technical report with PoC exploit code for each set of bugs.
Smarty critical vuln (php code injection): vendor patched on July'17 (https://t.co/IvMRimVU69), exploited during Imsonihack ctf quals during past weekend (https://t.co/9msEs87vAe) and patched yesterday on Debian (https://t.co/f5l72bNbDy). Coincidence? :-)
Severe Electron RCE vulnerability: https://t.co/7gxbgAo0mD. If you use an Electron app on Windows (Slack, Skype, Atom, etc.) update now. If you maintain an Electron app, update to latest Electron.
All Blizzard games (World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Diablo III, Starcraft II, etc.) were vulnerable to DNS rebinding vulnerability allowing any website to run arbitrary code. 🎮 https://t.co/ssKyxfkuZo
This patch literally invents new computer science to work around the side-channel CPU issues. Continuing to be in awe and massive kudos to all the OS vendors who had to probably re-do entire feature roadmaps to handle this work. tl;dr Tokens/Processes now have "Security Domains".
open ports without netstat on linux:
declare -a array=($(tail -n +2 /proc/net/tcp | cut -d":" -f"3"|cut -d" " -f"1")) && for port in ${array[@]}; do echo $((0x$port)); done
Just published my paper on largely undocumented #LazarusGroup/#DPRK campaigns targeting cryptocurrency individuals/orgs (both big and small). The research covers new implants/tactics not currently covered in the media regarding 'fake jobs' campaigns. https://t.co/mCEYV3mJyA
