OSS-Fuzz An Open Source Fuzzing Service By Google It’s just been a couple of months since Microsoft announced its Project Springfield code fuzzing service and now Google has launched the beta version of its own OSS-Fuzz. The purpose of both of these is to help developers to locate the bugs in their code which might eventually lead to breaches. Even though the purpose of both of these organisations works for the same cause, one is a paid service while the other is free; one is proprietary while the other is open source. Google has described the OSS-Fuzz as ‘continuous fuzzing for open source software’. According to the development team in Google’s Testing  Blog , “OSS-Fuzz’s goal, is to make common software infrastructure more secure and stable by combining modern fuzzing techniques with scalable distributed execution. OSS-Fuzz combines various fuzzing engines (initially, libFuzzer) with Sanitizers (initially,  AddressSanitizer ) and provides a massively distributed ...

Here is How Hackers Perform a SQL Injection Attack A “SQL injection” (SQLI) attack is an exploit that takes advantage of poor web development techniques and, typically combined with, faulty database security. The result of a successful attack can range from impersonating a user account to a complete compromise of the respective database or server. Unlike a DDoS attack, an SQLI attack is completely and easily preventable if a web application is appropriately programmed. Executing the attack Whenever you login to a web site and enter your user name and password, in order to test your credentials the web application may run a query like the following: SELECT UserID FROM Users WHERE UserName='myuser' AND Password='mypass'; Note: string values in a SQL query must be enclosed in single quotes which is why they appear around the user entered values. So the combination of the entered user name (myuser) and password (mypass) must match an entry in the User...

Social Engineering Attacks: This Hacker Shows How To Destroy Someone’s Online Life In Minutes S ocial engineering – Social engineering is the art of manipulating people so they give up confidential information. The types of information these criminals are seeking can vary, but when individuals are targeted the criminals are usually trying to trick you into giving them your passwords or bank information, or access your computer to secretly install malicious software–that will give them access to your passwords and bank information as well as giving them control over your computer. Criminals use social engineering tactics because it is usually easier to exploit your natural inclination to trust than it is to discover ways to hack your software.  For example, it is much easier to fool someone into giving you their password than it is for you to try hacking their password (unless the password is really weak). Here we are going to show some steps and video, how hackers are...
