It’s Always DNS – But Not in the Way You May Think

A popular joke among technologists says that it’s always DNS, even when it initially didn’t seem that way. DNS issues come in many shapes and forms, including some often-overlooked security issues. DNS (short for the Domain Name System) continues to be… Continue reading It’s Always DNS – But Not in the Way You May Think

How DNS Attack Dynamics Evolved During the Pandemic

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the “Internet’s address book;” the essential, trusted, rarely scrutinized protocol that keeps the internet running by mapping readable domain names to IP addresses. More than 2.2 trillion DNS queries a… Continue reading How DNS Attack Dynamics Evolved During the Pandemic

Is an out-of-band request via DNS by abusing the X-Forwarded-For header exploitable

By changing the X-Forwarded-For header in a request, I am able to have it sent an OOB interaction with Burp Collaborator requesting a DNS lookup of type A.
Is there any risk to this vulnerability or should this just be reported as an info… Continue reading Is an out-of-band request via DNS by abusing the X-Forwarded-For header exploitable

How the Edge Improves Microservices

Microservice architecture has transformed the way we develop and operate our applications. Microservices aren’t a technology or a programming language. Instead, they create a structure for designing and building applications based on the idea that the … Continue reading How the Edge Improves Microservices

How the Edge Improves Microservices

Microservice architecture has transformed the way we develop and operate our applications. Microservices aren’t a technology or a programming language. Instead, they create a structure for designing and building applications based on the idea that the individual functions of a website should operate independently. From this simple concept comes a multitude of benefits including: Continue reading How the Edge Improves Microservices
