- Expired DMARC reporting endpoint exposed a NYSE Fortune 1000's infrastructure for $10
Expired DMARC reporting endpoint exposed a NYSE Fortune 1000's infrastructure for $10
I registered an expired DMARC reporting domain (gca-emailauth[.]org) for $10. It had been published as the aggregate-reporting address in Global Cyber Alliance DMARC training docs going back to a 2019 bootcamp, and at some point it lapsed.
Shortly after registration, aggregate DMARC reports for 86 domains across 20+ organizations started arriving.
56 belonged to The Toro Company (NYSE-listed), including myturf[.]com, their distributor platform, which sits at p=none. The rest - University of WisconsinβStevens Point (14 subdomains), the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, Ennis ISD (Texas), Great Prairie AEA (an Iowa education agency serving 35,000 students), two county governments, and several commercial domains.
For most of these it was a second rua address sitting behind a working commercial processor (Proofpoint, in Toro's case). Reports still arrived at the primary.
GCA's engineers later traced it to a former partner who'd held the domain and let it lapse - the dependency was never written down.
As of my last sweep, 65 of the 86 still publish the endpoint. We disclosed to everyone whose reports we were receiving; only 21 domains stopped publishing the endpoint, and almost nobody replied.
After 8 months of owning the domain, we coordinated a transfer back to GCA.

- CopyEscape: Container-to-host arbitrary file write via docker cp (CVE-2026-17106)
CopyEscape: Container-to-host arbitrary file write via docker cp (CVE-2026-17106)
Author here. We discovered a vulnerability in docker cp that allows a malicious container to create or overwrite files on the machine running the Docker CLI.
The exploit combines a filesystem race in Dockerβs archive creation with unsafe symlink handling during extraction. Depending on the CLI userβs privileges, this can lead to developer-account compromise or root code execution. Docker confirmed that sbx cp was also affected.
Fixed versions:
- Docker Engine/CLI 29.7.2+
- Docker Desktop 4.86.0+
- Docker Sandboxes 0.38.0+
Happy to answer technical questions.

- SMAP is Pre-Disarmed: How a Stack Pivot That Shouldn't Work Revealed a Kernel-Wide Design Compromise
SMAP is Pre-Disarmed: How a Stack Pivot That Shouldn't Work Revealed a Kernel-Wide Design Compromise
While working through a kernel exploit chain on Windows 11, I noticed that a stack pivot into user-mode memory didn't trigger SMAP.
I wrote up three experiments to figure out why. Short version: the normal syscall entry path arrives with RFLAGS.AC=1. SMAP is effectively disabled for any code reached through a standard IOCTL dispatch. This aligns with what MSRC documented back in 2020 (the Windows kernel simply wasn't built with SMAP in mind, and retrofitting it would touch ~2,900 locations: here)
My conclusion isn't novel here. It's just an experimental confirmation of the architectural compromise on current builds. I just wanted to shine the light on this blind spot.

- Inside a Russian-speaking operator's toolkit for compromising Ukrainian IP cameras
Inside a Russian-speaking operator's toolkit for compromising Ukrainian IP cameras
Hunt.io researchers analyzed two open directories recovered through Attack Capture system and reconstructed the tooling one operator used to find, exploit, and view internet-exposed cameras in Ukraine.
Technical highlights:
- A custom FastAPI/Docker project the operator named camview, which wraps the open-source Ingram scanner, brute-forces camera credentials over HTTP and RTSP (3,811 pair dictionary), and transcodes RTSP to MJPEG for browser viewing
- Ingram targets known camera CVEs: CVE-2017-7921 and CVE-2021-36260 (Hikvision), CVE-2021-33044/33045 (Dahua), CVE-2020-25078 (D-Link), CVE-2020-25169 (Reolink)
- The operator's logs recorded live viewing sessions from 58 Ukrainian cameras, with session lengths, frame counts, and frame rates
- A proxy script authenticated to a compromised OpenCart admin panel and relayed the operator's traffic through the victim network
- A second, separately operated directory was linked only by the same Ingram scanner. It chained TP-Link Archer CVEs (CVE-2024-53375, CVE-2024-57049) and MikroTik API brute-forcing to turn edge devices into SOCKS5 proxies reporting to a chisel listener on port 4444

DEFCON: New Red Team Tactic
Evil Fonts deceive a viewer by rendering a different letter than is actually on the disk. Evil Fonts can poison HTML, DOCX, PDFs, and anywhere else you can bring your own fonts. Works great in Windows corporate networks for bypassing security tooling, initial access through JavaScript free click fix (beats mitm web security tooling), and leaving traps around the network to harvest shells.
Imagine thinking you are copying whoami but what is actually on the disk is rm -rf \~
Demos:
(Use desktop)
https://doctoreww.github.io/EvilFontTool/
For the demos, copy and paste the HTML/DOCX to a notepad to remove the evil fonts. For the AI ones imagine your security tooling inspects the benign text on disk, but shows the obviously malicious extortion to the user.

Analyzing a Multi-Stage PowerShell Payload Chain
I recently analyzed a multi-stage PowerShell payload delivery chain involving heavily obfuscated PowerShell loaders and remotely hosted payloads.
The analysis covers PowerShell deobfuscation, hidden execution, Base64/XOR decoding, a decoy βVerification complete!β prompt, payload delivery, and IOCs.

Write once, shell everywhere. Sun Microsystems didn't mean it like this.
Talk from today at DEF CON's Bug Bounty Village. Full technique catalog graded for distroless containers, an errno path oracle for black-box target fingerprinting, and three minimal-guessing techniques: bash fd/255, Rails schema_cache.yml deserialization, and a Node.js worker path overwrite without process restart.

SCTPhantom: An 18-Year-Old SCTP ASCONF Transport Use-After-Free Β· Tencent Zhuque Lab
Yes, given that the legacy SCT protocol has known security vulnerabilities such as sctphantom, the industry strongly recommends deprecating it and migrating to more secure modern standards to ensure system security.
