Earlier this year, I participated in a lot of CTFs – PicoCTF, both THM CTFs, Blitz CTF, and so on. Each time, I joined a random team – sometimes with strangers, sometimes with people I knew from previous CTFs. Every time, we faced the same problem: exchanging information over distance to solve
What is wrong with you people? Why are you asking on clearweb platforms for obviously illegal stuff? And when you check their Discord account, you’d expect a 5-day-old throwaway… right? But no, it’s an old account, everything linked, sometimes even with their real name. You’re putting yourself
In the past weeks, I have been active on multiple Discord "hacking" servers. You could probably argue whether Discord is the best platform for this topic, but I think at least the CIA is very pleased about this development. Anyway... I came across the huge misuse of the
My Honeypot Project My Honeypot project was originally planned as a funny side project together with the group called Zero of the #White-Hat-Hackers Discord, but I ended up doing it solo. The Idea A user on Reddit named u/Front-Buyer3535 created three posts in the r/cyber-security subreddit about his
Mid-Range Consumer Level: The Rise of 3D NAND As production technologies advanced, the physical form factor of NAND flash became increasingly compact. Eventually, 2D planar NAND reached its density limits. To overcome this, manufacturers began using 3D stacking to expand capacity. However, this innovation introduced several challenges related to data
Most NAND flash memory on the market today stores two, three, or four bits of data per cell. These types of flash are referred to as Multi-Level Cell (MLC), Triple-Level Cell (TLC), and Quad-Level Cell (QLC), respectively. Among these, MLC offers the best data retention, endurance, and reliability \u2014 but
Heyho Volks, my name is Blue. I’m a tech enthusiast, exploring the internet on its worst days. I’ve been into tech for about 15 years now and have seen a lot of bad behavior, misconceptions, dirty tricks, and cheap solutions on the clear side of the internet. Four
