Exploring a New Class of Kernel Exploit Primitive

The security landscape is dynamic, changing often and as a result, attack surfaces evolve. MSRC receives a wide variety of cases spanning different products, bug types and exploit primitives. One particularly interesting primitive we see is an arbitrary kernel pointer read. These often happen whe...

Reasons Why Every Business is a Target of DDoS Attacks

DDoS Distributed Denial of Service attacks are making headlines almost every day. 2021 saw a 434% upsurge in DDoS attacks, 5.5 times higher than 2020. Q3 2021 saw a 24% increase in the number of DDoS attacks in comparison to Q3 2020. Advanced DDoS attacks that are typically targeted, known as sma...

The Internet’s Most Tempting Targets

The number of exposed assets keeps climbing, but existing security strategies aren’t keeping up. Attack surfaces are getting more complex, and the excruciatingly hard part is figuring out where to focus. For every 1,000 assets on an attack surface, there is often only one that’s truly interesting...

Time to Ditch Big-Brother Accounts for Network Scanning

In almost every network, there is a highly privileged service account remotely connecting to all computers. These accounts are usually used by backup, security or monitoring solutions. But using such accounts to remotely login to systems on the network introduces unnecessary risk — it’s a bad...
