Hello readers,
This is Kalyan Chinta with the latest Issue of Hackercool Magazine. Let’s give you a quick summary of what this Issue contains. The first article of this Issue is how to exploit a vulnerability in Windows Defender SmartScreen (CVE-2023-36025) that is already popular with Black Hat Hackers around the world. This vulnerability describes how to gain initial access by bypassing Windows Defender Smart Screen. Next article brings you one of the infection chains of Ursniff banking trojan. This infection chain starts with a zip archive containing a single HTA file. When victims click on this HTA file, it downloads and executes a PowerShell script which then downloads and executes a DLL file which finally downloads the payload and executes it on the target system. Yes, I show you how to create the infection chain. Instead of using Ursniff trojan as payload, we will be using msfvenom meterpreter. Next, in Tool of the Month feature, we bring you a complete guide on Hydra Password cracker. Then, you will learn how a Black Hat Hacker group used Github commit messages to hide its malicious activity. Then you will learn about multiple vulnerabilities disclosed recently in Ivanti VPN appliances and their impact.
