    Understand Assembly low-level programming in 22 minutes youtu.be/DWkImpawzhc I remember how it clicked for me. This video shows what I saw, illustrated with examples from all the mainstream CPU architectures

    Official: I won Pwn2Own competition in the Virtualisation category. It’s an essential milestone in a professional hacker’s career, and a major goal personally. I am super hyped! And relieved Details of the exploit that I developed are now under embargo of responsible disclosure

    Just gave a new life to my 11-year old vintage MacBook Pro! Not many people realise that battery aging is no.1 reason of dying older laptops. And it’s easy to replace Thread with my tips

    Not bad for the first girl at Pwn2Own

    Releasing full 2+hr video of my browser exploitation workshop from VXCON 2024: youtube.com/live/b9OhamkAY… In which I show what goes inside the mind of a skilled hacker while exploiting a highly non-trivial vulnerability in v8, from zero to exploit concept. Especially this workflow

    It took 3 years but finally I feel ready to release my Pwn2Own 2021 exploit code. 💖 Video talk covers my full research workflow, from attack surface modeling and reverse engineering, to vulnerability discovery and systematic exploit engineering, enjoy! #Pwn2Own
    Release: VM Escape Exploit for Parallels Desktop Hypervisor (Pwn2Own 2021) zerodayengineering.com/research/pwn2o… A virtual machine escape exploit will typically require kernel privileges in the guest OS. In this exploit I chose to offload the reverse-engineered toolgate protocol

    While my Pwn2Own exploit is in the patching, I wanted to share a trivial *no-bug, by-design* full VM escape with persistence PoC for latest Parallels Desktop on Intel and M1. I hope it will wake up a person or two Writeup: zerodayengineering.com/blog/dont-shar… Code: github.com/badd1e/Proof-o…

    I invested two decades of life into reverse-engineering and hacking man-made systems down to bits. Today I can pwn anything that has software in it, in a predictable time. It’s not a challenge anymore… What if you apply those skills to the most fundamental of God-made systems?

    Nice little-known writeup on WhatsApp exploitation: awakened1712.github.io/hacking/hackin… < technically interesting for more than one reason

    Got my 1st VM escape vulns in @Oracle VirtualBox, via unprivileged guest to hypervisor on the host. A little late for #pwn2own... Still a personal record: one month from zero (knowledge about the target) to zero (day). VirtualBox is nice and well-designed, I enjoyed looking at it
