Machine learning involves tasks that include data sourcing, data ingestion, data transformation, pre-processing data for use in training, training a model, and hosting the model. Additionally, to get value out of machine learning models, we need an architecture and process in place to repeatedly and consistently train new models and ...

This is a review about one of my favorites libraries in Python: Scapy, which is a very powerful packet manipulation resource.

Scapy is able to forge and decode packets of several protocols, send and capture them, match requests and replies, and much more. It can be used to handle most ...

When it comes to the reconnaissance of some target network, the start point is undoubtedly on host discovering. This task might come together with the ability to sniff and parse the packets flying through the network.

A few weeks ago, I talked about how to use Wireshark for packet sniffing ...

This is the second post based on my readings from Black Hat Python. Yesterday I talked about Python's socket module and today I'm talking about the paramiko module.

Paramiko is awesome!!! It uses my dear PyCrypto to give us access to the SSH2 protocol, and it has a ...

Last week I got my copy of Black Hat Python, the new Justin Seitz's book. The compilation talks about network programming, web hacking, and Windows exploitation. All in Python!

In this first post, I discuss Python's socket module, which contains all the tools to write TCP/UDP clients ...

During this last weekend, the 9447 CTF took place. One of the misc problems was called NoSQL and had the following description, together with an attachment with three files:

Hey, I don't understand how SQL works, so I made my own NoSQL startup. And OpenSSL is bloody crap.

ip ...

Although I did not have the chance of playing in either of the three Stripe CTFs, I was quite enthralled when I took a look at the problems. I decided to solve them anyway, and I am writing this series of writeups.

This post is about the first Stripe CTF ...

Being a Linux user is, above all, a lifestyle. Interestingly, more and more people have been joining this community, keeping it dynamic and organic.

Linux has been in my life since my high school years, and I'm still always inspired by the fact that it has not lost any ...

In 2008, Google released a sandbox-oriented browser, that was assembled from several different code libraries from Google and third parties (for instance, it borrowed a rendering machinery from the open-source Webkit layout engine, later changing it to a forked version, Blink). Six years later, Chrome has become the preferred browser ...

Continuing my quest through the Wargames, today, I am going to talk about the 20 first levels of Natas, the web exploitation episode.

I divide the exploits into two parts. The first part contains the easy challenges that don't demand much art (and are a bit boring). The second ...
