What is the relation between "signature_algorithms" handshake extension and TLS ciphersuite

I am learning TLS handshake and find client/serve will negotiate a cihpersuite during client/server hello.
Usually, the last part of a ciphersuite is a hash algorithm, like SHA256 in ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256. The second part of a ciphersu… Continue reading What is the relation between "signature_algorithms" handshake extension and TLS ciphersuite

Why can SSH negotiatie two different encryption and authentication algorithms?

I recently found out, that according to the RFC, SSH can negotiate two different cipher (and MAC) algorithms for server-to-client-encryption and for client-to-server-encryption (check section 7.1. for reference).
In section 6.3 this is als… Continue reading Why can SSH negotiatie two different encryption and authentication algorithms?

Automated Tools For WiFi Cracking

Knowing how WiFi networks can be attacked is a big part of properly securing them, and the best way to learn about it is to (legally) run some attacks. [Matt Agius] has been going down the WiFi-cracking rabbit hole, and in the process created Pwnagotchi Tools to automate the actual …read more

Priate key vs encryption session keys: For what is the private key used when there are session keys for encryption? [duplicate]

I have read that the private key that the certificate owner/web server has (which is the corresponding private key of the public key presented on the certificate) is used to decrypt the data that the client sends to the server.
My question… Continue reading Priate key vs encryption session keys: For what is the private key used when there are session keys for encryption? [duplicate]
