# Description

A Proof of Concept for CVE-2024-3273 shows how to hack into D-Link NAS devices, GDBFuzz improves testing for gadgets and stuff, and Genzai helps find weak spots in IoT things by checking out their dashboards and passwords. The 'nexus' plugin for IP.Board had a bad security problem but got fixed, and now there's another tool to break into those D-Link NAS devices using the CVE-2024-3273 weakness. Looking at JumpServer, there's a couple of CVEs, CVE-2024-29201 and CVE-2024-29202, and you gotta update some things to stop hackers. ADOKit helps test Azure stuff, and DeWatermark.AI takes off watermarks from pics. DroneXtract is for checking out DJI drone data, while VolWeb makes it easier to look at memory for computer clues. Obsidian is a cool and safe app for jotting down cyber threat info, perfect-dll-proxy helps with messing with DLLs in Windows, and the OSTE-Web-Log-Analyzer looks for web attacks in server logs.

# F.A.Q

Problem

Many websites are using AI/ML to create clickbait which actually doesn't have any valuable content.

Value

I use AI to de-clickbait the clickbait by allowing AI to read my news for me. Then it creates a meaningful tldr; regarding the articles of interest which helps discern what I should read. It is saving me a ton of time.

Why

FWIW HAQ.NEWS really started out as my personal news feed, enriched by Ai, and converted into something quick and easy to read. But then I started getting requests for features like rss, Gracie got involved, and with the super-power of Ai things have taken on a life of their own.

Sharing

I currently post daily infosec news to x, linkedin, mastodon and rss.

I also post daily infosec podcasts and interviews to apple podcasts and spotify.

Ads

This isn't an Ad.

I want to encourage people and projects that impress me, by posting a banner linking their work, as it's my desire to help others. I do not take or make any money.

Thanks,
