As far as I’ve heard, hashing a disk image before computer forensics is started, and then comparing that hash to a new hash after the forensics is finished is the most common way to make sure that there is no tampering with the disk during… Continue reading Are there better methods of sustaining forensic integrity apart from disk hashing?
My web app still needs a lot of work on it in the security department, so I’m considering implementing homomorphic encryption for my SQL database- to help protect from the outcomes of SQLi.
I know the basic principles of how homomorphic en… Continue reading Is Homomorphic SQL Query Encryption a good idea – and should I use It?
When entering a password into the password field in a Linux terminal- the password is just in the clear!
This is a commonly known fact.
But what if I’m in public, like in an office, and need to enter my password, regardless of the reason,… Continue reading Why are passwords in the Linux terminal unmasked? [closed]
I’m not talking about software keyloggers that are, well, quite obviously, software.
I’m talking about the nasty things that physically sit somewhere between your keyboard and processors. So I imagine that because of this, it would very ha… Continue reading Can software EVER pick up physical keyloggers? And what do they actually look like?
I have recently been wondering what the consequences would be if an attacker got access to a user’s cookies, including the session cookie, for my web app?
Could they impersonate said user?
Could they only access the users browsing history… Continue reading What are the consequences of cookies, including the session cookie, being stolen?
I am (basically) pen-testing my own website, and I do have a new WAF, but have temporarily taken it down in a safe, testing environment (the one on my actual site is still up.)
This is the same site that was receiving an enormous amount of… Continue reading Is my wesbite stil vulnerable if sqlmap cannot retrieve the database names but CAN successfully inject?
I haven’t needed to restart my computer for a while now, as I just usually shut down when I’m finished, and then reboot when I use Windows again. I dual-boot, so of course I often restart to a different OS, but hardly ever back to windows…. Continue reading Why does Windows force you to do a mandatory restart once in a while? Apparently, its for ‘security purposes.’
I know a lot about what a VPN is, and how they work, and for most of you it would be extremely simple.
But how would you go about explaining it to someone who doesn’t even have a clue about what the heck a VPN is?
A ‘non-techie’ has asked … Continue reading How would you explain a VPN to a non-techie? [closed]
The Signal Protocol, as many of you would know, is used by many applications such as WhatsApp and Signal. These corporations, I can vouch for, would definitely use the most secure protocol they could- as WhatsApp, for example, would happil… Continue reading Why does the Signal Protocol use a symmetric key for encryption- when asymmetric keys are more secure? [duplicate]
So I realised something the other day- that channels 1, 6, and 11 are by far the most common channels for 2.4 GHz wifi networks, and are highly recommended.
So I did more research and came across this article: https://www.acrylicwifi.com/e… Continue reading Why are Wi-Fi channels 1, 6, and 11 recommended on 2.4 GHz for security? [closed]
