Hacker Noon Cybersecurity

The phrase “EVM hacking” is powerful because it does three things at once. It simplifies a complex issue. It gives people a dramatic explanation. And it turns technical doubt into political energy. That makes it more shareable, more repeatable, and much more emotionally useful than any serious conversation about election security.Read All

Four years inside one product taught me more than agency work ever could about context, restraint, and the hidden weight of design decisions.Read All

Gemma-4-31B-JANG_4M-CRACK removes safety restrictions from Google’s base model while preserving coding, reasoning, and multimodal capabilities.Read All

Built by a veteran security team and led by a former Google and Mandiant executive, Mallory delivers intelligence that drives action for enterprise security teaRead All

Axios was compromised in a supply chain attack that injected malware into widely used versions, exposing developers and CI pipelines. The incident highlights growing risks in JavaScript dependencies. axios-fixed offers a secure, zero-dependency drop-in replacement built on native fetch, allowing teams to migrate in minutes without rewriting code while reducing attack surface and restoring trust.Read All

The full scraping stack is a breakdown of the full stack — the APIs I reverse-engineered, the defenses I had to work around, and the physical hacks I used when software alone wasn’t enough. This post is for those into scraping, reverse engineering, or mobile API analysis.Read All

Anthropic built Claude Mythos, a model that found thousands of zero-days in every major OS and browser, broke out of a sandbox unprompted, and showed signs of covert strategic reasoning. Instead of releasing it publicly, they gave it to 40 companies via Project Glasswing with $100M in credits. The cyber capabilities are real — but so is the fact that Anthropic is selling the cure to a disease its own technology accelerates. Open-weight models will replicate this within six months. Patch now.Read All

Security must be embedded in M&A due diligence, says security expert. M&A is not a full review, but a hands-on security assessment. It means focused effort by the right people, directed at the highest-risk areas.Read All

Passwords are not dying only because technology is changing. They are dying because the old model of digital trust no longer fits the world we built.Read All

Aether is an architectural MVP exploring local-first, zero-server communication. Built with Electron and libp2p, it utilizes Secp256k1 cryptography for identity and relies on a “Strict IPC” pattern to ensure private keys never touch the React frontend. It currently supports local mDNS node discovery and Noise-encrypted data streams.Read All

Free VPNs aren’t free. Someone pays for every server, every IP address, every gigabyte of traffic. When you don’t pay with money, you pay with your data, your bandwidth, or sometimes your identity. To make you understand this better, I’ll break down the actual infrastructure economics with real numbers and documented cases in this article.Read All

Current Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) tools just replay static scripts and generate PDFs. VANGUARD uses an LLM ReAct loop to autonomously hack targets, adapting to what it finds and streaming its reasoning live via SSE. After the assessment, it automatically synthesizes and deploys Elasticsearch KQL rules to catch the exact vulnerabilities it just exploited.Read All

• Pricing systems at scale fail not only due to logic, but due to unstable network behavior • DNS inconsistency, routing issues, and external blocking introduce financial risk • Traditional VPNs are not designed for deterministic execution in financial systems • We built a custom network control layer with: – controlled DNS for critical domains – segmented routing policies – secure server-to-server connectivity – resilience under network disruption • Network design became part of financial risk management, not just infrastructure • Result: more predictable execution, reduced anomalies, and safer pricing operations Read All

Modern AI tools like Claude Code, Codex, or even the browser-based ChatGPT and Claude.ai often run npm install behind the scenes to make the things you ask for. If you asked an AI to “make me a weather app,” it might have pulled in Axios as a transitive dependency. You never saw the command, and you never approved the install.Read All

The cybersecurity industry isn’t 72 companies — it’s 25 companies filling 72 foundational roles across a layered value chain from identity and endpoint at the edge to SIEM, SOAR, and managed services at the core. The most consequential vendors — Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft, IBM, AWS, Google Cloud, Broadcom, and Datadog — appear multiple times because they’ve built platforms spanning the entire chain. Platform consolidation, cloud providers as default security vendors, and an attack surface expanding faster than the defense are the three forces reshaping who wins.Read All

Code audits catch bugs, not systemic risk. Resolv, Bybit, GMX, WazirX lost $100M+ to threats no audit would find: compromised keys, governance blind spots, infrastructure failures. Threat modelling identifies how your system fails, prioritizes which risks matter most, and produces a roadmap. Build it before launch, maintain it forever. The difference between companies that get hacked and companies that don’t.Read All

ClickFix attacks have become increasingly popular among cybercriminals. They trick users into connecting their Macs to a malicious criminal network. Moonlock Lab uncovers a sophisticated ClickFix scheme that uses fake VC firms and personas to target crypto professionals with fake job opportunities.Read All
