This post is all about the hack on Microsoft by Midnight Blizzard (NOBELIUM, Cozy Bear, APT29)A lot has been said already, and this event has many angles. This post is focused on one part: What can Entra/Microsoft 365 admins do to prevent such an attack? I don’t have all the answers (certainly not!) but I feel the urge to bundle all the resources so that the community can find guidance during this snowstorm. I did not find any time to…

PIN+ keys implement specific complexity rules for both numeric and alphanumeric PINs, which can be found here. With the use…

In case you missed it: Evilginx 3 was recently launched to the public. This release is a quality-of-life update and has many fixes and a few new features onboard. You can find the changelog here. Big thanks to the creator Kuba Gretzky for this! With the new release, the tool no longer has built-in phishlets onboard but is re-launched as a framework where red-teamers can build phishlets for basically any web application.
