incident response Linux administration
incident response Linux administration Over the span of just 14 days, threat actors unleashed more than 81 million login attempts against Microsoft’s Azure command-line interface (CLI). The campaign , which security researchers at Huntress identified as an ongoing, automated password-spraying effort, successfully compromised at least 78 Microsoft accounts across 64 organizations between June 12 and June 26, 2026. . While the scale is massive, the underlying strategy is surprisingly surgical. Attackers aren't exploiting a flaw in...

Security Trends security update mobile security
security update mobile security Offensive Security just dropped Kali Linux 2026.2 , and at first glance, it looks like a standard quarterly refresh. You’ve got the usual kernel bumps, desktop environment updates, and a handful of new utilities. But don't write this off as just another routine version update. If you look past the changelog, this release highlights several capabilities that continue to be important in offensive security. From AI-assisted workflows to credential testing and mobile assessments, Kali Linux 2026.2...

Security Projectssecurity advisory vulnerability management
security advisory vulnerability management The Linux Foundation has officially launched Akrites , a coordinated industry initiative designed to improve how critical open source vulnerabilities are validated, coordinated, and disclosed before patches reach downstream users. Backed by a diverse coalition—including AWS, Google, Microsoft/GitHub, Red Hat, NVIDIA, and OpenAI—Akrites establishes a shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) to streamline the validation, remediation, and disclosure of vulnerabilities in the foundational...

Server Securitydenial of service open-source
denial of service open-source A process with a stable workload shouldn't keep growing its resident memory. When it does, the first question isn't how much RAM is available. It's where the allocations stopped being released. On Linux, that answer isn't always obvious because the kernel, allocator, and application all influence what memory usage looks like from the outside. . Separating normal allocation behavior from an actual leak takes more than watching top or container metrics. Heap growth, allocator caches, mapped...

Security ProjectsLinux security security assessment
Linux security security assessment AI is beginning to reshape how penetration testing workflows are organized. For years, the penetration tester’s workflow has been a labor-intensive ritual: scan, enumerate, research, exploit, and report. But new frameworks are attempting to codify that intuition, turning the "human-in-the-loop" process into a machine-coordinated workflow. But is this a genuine evolution in how we secure Linux environments, or just a sophisticated wrapper around the same old tools? . Dark Moon is an open-source...

intrusion detectionsecurity managementlog managementExploring Prelude Hybrid IDS Framework for Effective Security Management
Everyone both involved in information security and many that are not have heard of Snort NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection System). But not many have heard of a little jewel by the name of Prelude. Prelude is an open source framework for building distributed Hybrid Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS). The reason it is called 'Hybrid' is that it utilizes sensors which are network based (NIDS). But also allows for hosts logs to be transmitted to a central 'Manager' for correlation and storage in a database (mySQL, Postgres, Oracle). . . .. Everyone both involved in information security and many that are not have heard of Snort NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection System). But not many have heard of a little jewel by the name of Prelude. Prelude is an open source framework for building distributed Hybrid Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS). The reason it is called 'Hybrid' is that it utilizes sensors which are network based (NIDS). But also allows for hosts logs to be transmitted to a central 'Manager' for correlation and storage in a database (mySQL, Postgres, Oracle). Prelude has been around in one form or another since 1998, so it is mature in terms of development. As well as equally as old as the Snort Project. With its modular design and ability to allow other external applications/devices to report to it makes it an excellent and extensible solution to creating custom HIDS solutions. There is are a myriad of terms that have come about recently that apply to variations of an IDS. A newer term that has come about is a SIM (Security Information Management). Which can apply partly to the Prelude framework. Being that a SIM is a centralized repository for security event information. In fact by this definition Prelude is for the most part a SIM: The project leader Yoann Vandoorselaere has referred to Prelude as a 'Meta IDS' as well. But no matter what term you use to refer to it. Prelude is a great piece of Open Source security software that was written with the intent of being used in large heterogeneous networks.
