Title Excerpt
Zombie 2.0: A web-application attack model

We analyzed the problems underlying the attack and penetration in the web application scenario.

XSS Agent

This project is about analyzing the problems underlying exploitation and post exploitation of cross-site scripting (xss) vulnerabilities in the web applicati

wiwo (Wireless Workers)

What is wiwo?

Turbodiff

Turbodiff is a binary diffing tool developed as an IDA plugin. It discovers and analyzes differences between the functions of two binaries.

Teaching Penetration Testing

We are devising lessons and tools for using in a class of information security students.

SQL Agent

We introduce the SQL Agent technique and implementation, an efficient translator from SQL to HTTP requests, that we use for removing the burden in the exploi

Sentinel

Sentinel is a command line tool able to protect Windows 32 bit programs against exploits targeted by attackers or viruses.

PyLorcon2

PyLorcon2 is a wrapper that allows using the Lorcon2 - Loss of Radio CONectivity (available here) library (writte

Public-Key Cryptography Based on Polynomial Equations

One of the challenges public-key cryptography faces is the absence of schemes that are secure as well as practical.

Protocol design flaws

Aside from the traditional vulnerability analysis in which we explore known attack vectors (e.g., buffer overflows, injection vulnerabilities) we are also in

Non-Euclidean Ring Data Scrambler (NERDS) public-key encryption

With the advent of PDAs and other constrained computing environments come new security requirements that are not compliant with RSA and other typically trust

ND2DB Attack

Within this project we research a new attack technique that allows extraction of selected database content relying only on the attackers ability to perform d

InlineEgg

InlineEgg is a Python module that provides the user with a toolbox of classes for writing small assembly programs.

Impacket

We're excited to welcome Impacket to Fortra's open source portfolio.

Gfuzz

Gfuzz is a web application fuzzing environment which combines fine-grained taint analysis on the server-side (using 

Exomind

The proliferation of social network services has produced an extensive leakage of private information.

The Bugweek is a research activity wherein the security professionals in the company, from developers to exploit writers and QA analysts, dedicate an entire

Bug Reproducer Assistant

Bug-reproducer Assistant is a tool that extracts behavior from live running code (Python or C++), generating a program equivalent to the original, but only w

BIOS rootkits

Traditionally rootkit research has focused on accomplishing persistence and stealthiness with software running at the user or kernel level within a

Attacker-centric Risk Assessment Metrics

Risk assessment can be used to measure the security posture of an organization.

Attack Simulation

Computer systems and networks are exposed to attacks on a daily basis.
