Azure blocks record 15 Tbps DDoS attack as IoT botnets gain new firepower
Mitigation strategies: Prabhu said CISOs should now test whether their control planes can withstand attacks above 15 Tbps, how to contain cloud cost spikes triggered by auto-scaling during an incident, and how to keep critical services running if defenses are overwhelmed. “CISOs can stress test these benchmarks through DDoS simulations and evaluation of CSP infrastructure…

Building checksec without boundaries with Checksec Anywhere
Since its original release in 2009, checksec has become widely used in the software security community, proving useful in CTF challenges, security posturing, and general binary analysis. The tool inspects executables to determine which exploit mitigations (e.g., ASLR, DEP, stack canaries, etc.) are enabled, rapidly gauging a program’s defensive hardening. This success inspired numerous spinoffs:…
