BSides Las Vegas 2025 is incredible. Amazing turn-out, fantastic staff, and the sheer variety of content, speakers, and activities sets the bar for what a hacker con should be. You can find the slides from my talk, Turbo Tactical Exploitation: 22 Tips for Tricky Targets, online at https://hdm.io/decks/BSidesLV%202025%20-%20%20Turbo%20Tactical%20Exploitation_%2022%20Tips%20for%20Tricky%20Targets.pdf

It looks at least a bit of the video is on YT as well at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goERQMqAv50 (Ground Floor at 11am). Thank you to everyone who attended and to the BSides team for a wonderful experience!

runZero Hour #20 is LIVE NOW - This is an amazing episode that includes Rishi & Sandeep of https://projectdiscovery.io/; here to give us the backstory on their company and the Nuclei open source vulnerability scanner (already bigger and more popular than Metasploit!). Hit our YT live stream to hear about PD, Nuclei, and how runZero is working with PD and the community on open source security tools!

The weather outside is lousy, you might as well hang out in a conference room with us nerds! =D

I'm excited to announce our "Out-of-Band" series; these articles focus on the security risks of management devices like BMCs, serial servers, and IP-enabled KVMs. "Out-of-Band, Part 1: The new generation of IP KVMs and how to find them" is now live at:

Do you enjoy guzzling real-time TLS certificate allocations, but don't want to use a third-party service (crt.sh, CertStream, etc.)? Drink straight from the Certificate Transparency log firehose using ctail:

$ go run github.com/hdm/ctail@latest -f -m '^autodiscover\.'

A PSA for why you should probably not use Postman (it can leak secrets to them): https://anonymousdata.medium.com/postman-is-logging-all-your-secrets-and-environment-variables-9c316e92d424

Hello from BSides San Francisco! I'm excited to speak at 1:30pm in the AMC IMAX today. If you'd like to catch up afterwards, I'll be at the runZero booth first and at the City View lounge later. If you couldn't make the trip, the streaming links are live at https://www.youtube.com/@BSidesSF/streams

Hope to you see you there!

A few quick notes on the Erlang OTP SSHd RCE (CVE-2025-32433):

1. Cisco confirmed that ConfD and NSO products are affected (ports 830, 2022, and 2024 versus 22)

2. Signatures looking for clear-text channel open and exec calls will miss exploits that deliver the same payloads after the key exchange.

3. If you find a machine in your environment and can't disable the service, running the exploit with the payload `ssh:stop().` will shut down the SSH service temporarily.
