How to install BeEF on Ubuntu

26/04/2016 No Comments

BeEF stands for The Browser Exploitation Framework. It is a great penetration testing tool that focuses on the web browser.

Amid growing concerns about web-borne attacks against clients, including mobile clients, BeEF allows the professional penetration tester to assess the actual security posture of a target environment by using client-side attack vectors. Unlike other security frameworks, It looks past the hardened network perimeter and client system, and examines exploitability within the context of the one open door: the web browser. It will hook one or more web browsers and use them as beachheads for launching directed command modules and further attacks against the system from within the browser context.

From a lot of Facebook to No Facebook

At the beginning of this year, I removed my Facebook profile. Here’s what drove that decision.

The Facebook app was the most used smartphone app of 2015, this shouldn’t surprise anyone I guess. The average user is spending 40minutes a day on the site.

How to connect an iPhone to Fortigate firewall for tunneling

27/01/2016 No Comments

This article provides a sample IPSec VPN configuration for use with iPhone and iPad.
I’ve tested the following on a Fortigate 60C with FortiOS v4.0 MR3 Patch 9 and v5.0,build3608 (GA Patch 7) but I think it will work even with previous firmware versions.

This is the only way to connect an iPhone or an iPad with a Tunnel VPN, because the FortiClient APP only supports Web Bookmarks.

Let’s go!
