New Research: Enhancing Botnet Detection with AI using LLMs and Similarity Search

As botnets continue to evolve, so do the techniques required to detect them. While Transport Layer Security TLS encryption is widely adopted for secure communications, botnets leverage TLS to obscure command-and-control C2 traffic. These malicious actors often have identifiable characteristics...

Selenium Chrome Remote Code Execution Exploit

Selenium Server Grid versions prior to 4.0.0-alpha-7 allows cross site request forgery because it permits non-JSON content types such as application/x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data, and text/plain and this issue in turn allows for an attacker to achieve remote code execution. This modu...
