Apache Log Extractor tool Apache Log Extractor is a quick script to export URL information from Apache access logs. The thought behind this script was to provide a list of known URL's on a remote server by analysing the logs. This list could then be used as the input for further testing tools e.g Burp Suite – Intruder . The script accepts an Apache access file as the input and creates an output file containing one URL per line. The list is unique and should only contain the URL without parameters (incomplete directory names are not extracted). It also takes these URLs and creates a wordlist output of all valid directoy names for use with brute-forcing tools. This fingerprinting tool can reduse the realm of password cracking.

While phishing and ransomware dominate headlines, another critical risk quietly persists across most enterprises: exposed Git repositories leaking sensitive data. A risk that silently creates shadow access into core systems Git is the backbone of modern software development, hosting millions of repositories and serving thousands of organizations worldwide. Yet, amid the daily hustle of shipping code, developers may inadvertently leave behind API keys, tokens, or passwords in configuration files and code files, effectively handing attackers the keys to the kingdom. This isn't just about poor hygiene; it's a systemic and growing supply chain risk. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, so do compliance requirements. Security frameworks like NIS2, SOC2, and ISO 27001 now demand proof that software delivery pipelines are hardened and third-party risk is controlled. The message is clear: securing your Git repositories is no longer optional, it's essential. Below, we look at the ris...

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

#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.
