KRACKs (Key Reinstallation AttaCKs) is a number of vulnerabilities in WPA2, related to key handshakes between a client and an access point.
An attacker can trick a victim into reinstalling an already-in-use key. This key (the 3rd message in a 4-way handshake) is resent multiple times by the attacker and each time installed by the client, resetting the nonce. By forcing nonce reuse in this manner, the same encryption key is used with nonce values … Read more.

I published an article on IBM Security Intelligence on Using a Free Online Malware Analysis Sandbox to Dig Into Malicious Code.
The article is a follow-up on an earlier post from 2015 (Comparing Free Online Malware Analysis Sandboxes) where I compare the features of different free online malware sandbox solutions, how you can extract indicators of compromise and how you should integrate them within your incident management workflow. The free malware sandbox solutions reviewed are … Read more.
Shodan is a powerful tool for doing passive reconnaissance. It’s also a great source of information that you can put to good use to monitor your publicly available assets.

Centralized logging is essential during incident response. If you can only rely on local logs then you risk losing crucial information when reconstructing the timeline of a security incident. Local logs should not be trusted during an incident as they might have been altered by an intruder. Additionally centralized logging allows you to combine different log sources into one data set for investigation.
