A newly identified malware technique
A newly identified malware technique known as AWSDoor has raised serious concerns across the cybersecurity community. This method enables attackers to maintain persistence within AWS cloud environments by masking malicious activities as legitimate processes. With organizations increasingly dependent on AWS, the ability for adversaries to hide in plain sight significantly increases risk exposure. Why This […]
Nessus vs Metasploit
In cybersecurity, two tools often stand out when it comes to identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities: Nessus and Metasploit. While both are powerful, they serve different roles and are often used together in penetration testing engagements. Understanding how they complement each other helps security teams strengthen their defense strategies. What Nessus Does Nessus is a widely […]
