Smiasm - Reverse engineering framework What is Miasm? Miasm is a a free and open source (GPLv2) reverse engineering framework. Miasm aims at analyzing/modifying/generating binary programs. Here is a non exhausting list of features: opening/modifying/generating PE/ELF 32/64 le/be using Elfesteem Assembling/Disassembling ia32/ppc/arm Representing assembly semantic using intermediate language Emulating using jit (dynamic code analysis, unpacking, ...) Expression simplification for automatic de-obfuscation Graphic disassembler using Grandalf How does it work? Miasm embed its own disassembler, intermediate language and instruction semantic. It is written in Python. To emulate code, it uses libtcc to jit C code generate from intermediate representation. It can emulate shellcodes, parts of binaries. Python callback can be executed to emulate library functions. Read Documentation & Download Here

I had the honor of hosting the first episode of the Xposure Podcast live from Xposure Summit 2025. And I couldn't have asked for a better kickoff panel: three cybersecurity leaders who don't just talk security, they live it. Let me introduce them. Alex Delay , CISO at IDB Bank, knows what it means to defend a highly regulated environment. Ben Mead , Director of Cybersecurity at Avidity Biosciences, brings a forward-thinking security perspective that reflects the innovation behind Avidity's targeted RNA therapeutics. Last but not least, Michael Francess , Director of Cybersecurity Advanced Threat at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, leads the charge in protecting the franchise. Each brought a unique vantage point to a common challenge: applying Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) to complex production environments. Gartner made waves in 2023 with a bold prediction: organizations that prioritize CTEM will be three times less likely to be breached by 2026. But here's the kicker -...

#OpPayPal - Anonymous calls for boycott of PayPal for blocking Wikileaks The Latest Operation could be a major departure into legal direct action for Anonymous, LulzSec and AntiSec. If so, this is one to watch with great interest. The campaign marks something of a departure for LulzSec and Anonymous, which are both known for stealing and releasing private information from websites with poor security.The groups are at pains to emphasis that their current protest is being waged through legal means.During Operation Payback, Anonymous had called for a boycott, but little was gained due to the distributed nature of Anonymous and relatively low media profile. What is Operation Paypal ( #OpPayPal ) ? IRC: https://bit.ly/pDIZbY According to Anonymous and Lulzsec " Paypal is a corrupt corporation who voluntarily disabled donations to wikileaks with no legal base or reasoning whatsoever.  They are actively working with the FBI to arrest and imprison the only peop...

Metasploit Pro 4.0 released - Enterprise Integration, Cloud Deployment & Automation Rapid7 launched Metasploit Pro 4.0, a penetration testing solution that provides security professionals with a better view of their threat landscape by integrating with more than a dozen vulnerability management and Web application scanners, and by providing data to security information and event management (SIEM) systems through a documented interface. This enables defenders to identify vulnerabilities that could lead to a data breach and prioritize their remediation more effectively. Security teams increase their productivity by spending less time fixing unimportant vulnerabilities and have an effective way to verify that remediation was successful. The new capabilities in Metasploit Pro 4.0 now enable defenders to: Integrate security risk intelligence Integrate Metasploit Pro with your security information and event management (SIEM) system to improve your dashboard information Import ...
