Disclosing new PebbleDash-based tools

Kaspersky researchers conducted an in-depth analysis of Kimsuky APT activity, revealing tactical shifts and new malware variants based on the PebbleDash platform. The group introduced HelloDoor, a Rust-based backdoor, httpMalice leveraging HTTP and Dropbox communications, and updated MemLoad and httpTroy variants. Kimsuky maintains persistence through legitimate tools including VSCode Tunneling with GitHub authentication and DWAgent remote management software. Initial access occurs via spear-phishing with malicious attachments disguised as documents. The group primarily targets South Korean entities across government and defense sectors, with additional PebbleDash attacks observed in Brazil and Germany. Infrastructure relies on free South Korean hosting services and tunneling services like Cloudflare Quick Tunnels and Ngrok. Both PebbleDash and AppleSeed malware clusters demonstrate ongoing development with shared distribution methods, stolen certificates, and overlapping targets, indicating single-actor c...

Mein #Japanuary ist dieses Jahr geht recht #anime-zentriert, mit einer Reise durch die 80'er Jahre mit #Appleseed , #SpaceAdventureCobra und #TowardTheRerra - mit Themes die sich kaum mehr unterscheiden könnten, allesamt #SciFi Gedankenexperimente mit stark psychodelischen Einschlag.

dazwischen etwas light-hearted #OnePiece und dem blutig thrashigen 1972'er Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril.

#Japanuary2026 geht balt zuende - viel mehr werde ich aber nicht mehr schaffen @filmeundserien

Vexille || Basement Jaxx - close your eyes

I know it all seems like we're losing our minds
we got shampoo and warfare all over the headlines
I know it's all hype and violence we see
and they never seem to mention the likes of you and me

I know it seems like we're losing our minds,
and things ain't gonna get better
I know it seems like we're losing our minds,
but we can't change this, it's just the way it is

close your eyes, it's all just noises in your head (x2)

Yesterday, we went to the exhibition of the Shirow Masamune world, known as the creator of "GHOST IN THE SHELL" series.

I had found him and his comic "APPLESEED" more than 30 years ago when I went to a book store.

Since then, I've been always inspired a lot by his world, (of course) including "GHOST IN THE SHELL".

And yesterday, as I also learned the backstage of his creation, I found again that it is still inspiring for me.
