Bureaucracy: A Hacker’s Delight and an IT Security Nightmare.
Ah, bureaucracy! A term that evokes as much enthusiasm as a dentist appointment or cleaning out the attic. While many of us slog through paperwork, there’s a special group that finds it delightful: hackers. Believe me, the adventure that IT security in the jungle of bureaucracy entails could easily be a bestseller!
Imagine this: A hacker sits comfortably in his dark, monitor-filled lair. He takes a sip of his favorite coffee and grins widely as he scrolls through endless documents and forms. Bureaucratic errors are like Easter eggs just waiting to be found. While most of us get gray hairs from a marathon of forms, hackers see it as a goldmine. That is the reality not a film.

CISCO Firepower FMC 100MB upload bug
CISCO Firepower FMC 100MB upload bug. Somehow CISCO always manages to surprise me with unnecessary bugs that shouldn’t be there. Especially if these bugs are old and could be easily fixed by CISCO.

Version 5.1 for iOS
New Version 5.1 for iOS – Exactly 10 years ago I published my first app for iOS. Back then it was for a company and not for me. How quickly time flies đ
The perfect place for research
the perfect place for research. I think I found a new bug and a vulnerability in CISCOs Firepower 6.7 in combo with a grey tunnel. I asked a friend for doublecheck them. When he confirms you will read about it soon in CISA đ
First âextraterrestrialâ hacking connection
Our first âextraterrestrialâ hacking connection. In one case the attacker had a powerful server from HP with the old esxi 6.7 đ I think some of them need a good admin more than my non-existent data. I would say: a admin can be a hacker but not every hacker is a good admin
New update for my ip-blocklist
update for my ip-blocklist. The list addresses the purposes of German KRITIS Infrastructure (system critical infrastructure) services. The listed IP-ranges are specially known for attacks on that infrastructure. But as some friends from US and Asia told me my list is very useful for them too because of a simple fact that it blocks professional hacking attempts on critical systems.
Angriffe auf KRITIS in Deutschland – Update
Jetzt in dieser Stunde (ab 06:55) fĂźhrt eine aus dem IP Bereich 85.192.63.0/24 gezielte DDOS und BruteForce Angriffe auf KRITIS in Deutschland. Ich empfehle den Bereich komplett zu blocken. Der Bereich ist ziemlich „jungfräulich“ und noch auf keiner IP-Blockliste zu finden – deshalb solltet ihr schnell reagieren!
