My new guide explains how to build a malware analysis lab with REMnux. A Windows VM and REMnux share an isolated network. The AI agent runs on REMnux, with the model as its one allowlisted destination. zeltser.com/malware-analysis…

Dug into the freezer hacks for SentinelLABS: the timeline, how they work, and who might be behind them. Russian-aligned groups have relevant history here. That’s not enough to say they did these attacks. Read more here: sentinelone.com/labs/defrost…

North Korean-linked actors have begun a new phase of laundering the funds stolen from Binance. After draining $500M from TRON staging wallets, the launderers have started moving onto Solana. The Reactor graph below shows the scale across blockchains.

The scale of the danger North Korea poses to crypto has become impossible to ignore. This is the story of the investigators exposing North Korean operatives working inside the industry. You think you know who your developer is. But do you? 🎬 Introducing THE DEVELOPER.

Frida 17.25.0 is out, and it's a big one. Our out-of-process mapper, born on Darwin, is now cross-platform: agents are mapped straight into the target on Windows and Linux too, without a file on disk or a dlopen() in the target. Plus Efni, Idun, MTE on Darwin, and lots of fixes.

Someone is putting the law of every country into one git history. Git for Global Law turns each country's laws into a repository where every commit is a real law taking effect. So you can see exactly what the law said on any date, and which law changed every word. It started with the US Code, which hit #1 on Hacker News. The global version is growing country by country: Germany's constitution since 1949, Estonia and more so far. Free to use for anything, and perfect for feeding to an AI. github.com/lexifina/global-l…

As promised, and thanks to @yates82 and @jeppojeps for the help, here you can find Dragon-tales: github.com/Fare9/dragon-tale… I hope the tool can be useful for someone else, and we will continue improving it with support for different architectures.

Our investigators are observing never-seen-before laundering patterns with the stolen funds from the Binance exploit. Thousands of transactions in a short period suggest that the attackers are using automation to obscure the trail of funds. Rather than simply moving funds onward, they repeatedly circulate them among addresses, often sending funds back to addresses involved earlier in the sequence.

The Binance Hacker is already an official entity on Arkham. 70 of their addresses have been verified by our team. Track the flows:

Update: etherscan.io/tx/0x28262fbbcb… They just approved AAVE. Contagion in full effect
1/4 EIP-7702 can turn the wallet itself into the sweeper. A Binance-labeled wallet moved 167,464 ETH + 63 tokens, including 1.615B USDT, just 3m24s after a signed delegation was installed. This is bad. etherscan.io/tx/0x53bd38b816…

ok safe to say binance is pwned The biggest assets were approximately: • 1.615B USDT • 62.6M RLUSD • 29,934 wBETH • 11,372 XAUt • 6.19M UNI • 198.4M ENA • 7.175T PEPE • 27.8M USD1 • 2.26M LINK • 127,853 AAVE about $2.5B at the explorer’s prices. 1. The attacker deployed a delegate contract, 0x63e842b0...73e9c6fAe, from the relayer at 15:59 UTC. 2. About four hours later, the relayer submitted an EIP-7702 authorization transaction That installed the malicious 7702 delegate code on Binance 14. 3. The relayer then made a call to Binance 14, executing the delegate code, and transferring Binance 14’s ETH and token balances. 4. The calldata is labeled sweep(address, address[]). The second argument is a list of recognizable token-contract addresses plus the zero-address (eth). 5. The same relayer later used the same delegate to move 780M USDC from Binance Hot Wallet 34 into the same pool • The relayer 0x7C... was funded by three Tornado Cash 0.1 ETH withdrawals over the prior two days. • The same pool also received 28,005.6 ETH from Binance 16 24 seconds after the main sweep. • The pool then forwarded 195,460 ETH to a fresh, unlabeled EOA • That EOA has only one transaction and currently holds the 195,460 ETH. What's a bit unclear is why the relayer was needed in the first place. If they had the private keys to the Binance wallets, they could have just sent the assets out in an atomic bundle without needing a relayer at all. So it seems likely that they didn't have the private keys and instead just had the 7702 auth signatures, which must have been phished somehow. I think we can go ahead and assume DPRK.

Unconfirmed, but possibly massive binance hack. Entire Binance wallet drained into new EOA. Contract call was funded by Tornado Cash

this is how i expected TAs to exploit php2shell, not some universal exploit opportunistically popping every vulnerable server with a single click. dreamgroup.com/blog/chained-…

OhMyDebn 4.13.0 is out! OhMyDebn is a debonair Linux desktop for power users. It gives you the stability of Debian or Ubuntu, the ease of use of the Cinnamon desktop, and the power of AI, containers and virtualization, with two dozen themes and a keyboard-driven menu for everything. It installs on Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, LMDE, Kali, MX Linux, Pop!_OS, Devuan and LCOS. New in this release: - Animated theme intros. Switching themes, and logging in, now plays a short intro that fades into your new background. Seventeen of the themes from Omarchy play Omarchy's own clips; every other background gets a sunrise drawn live from the image itself. A click skips one, and Style > Theme Intros turns them off. - Your own backgrounds now show up in the theme carousel and background cycling, and WebP backgrounds display everywhere. - On Kali, the clock is now kept in sync. - Updated components: Codex 0.164, Grok Build 1.0.70, Oh My Pi 18.13, OpenCode 1.19.4, Pi 1.4, T3 Code 0.1.2, SO-CRATES 5.0.1 and ttfx 0.5.1.
