@cR0w@infosec.exchange @trojanfoxtrot@infosec.exchange I’ve started submitting applications from behind Astrill VPN infrastructure, at least I know their SOC/CTI shops will see my app when they are investigating DPRK remote IT workers.

@jerry@infosec.exchange good reminder for all of us to consider donating to our instance admin who could be spending their weekend relaxing instead of patching. Just sent mine. Thanks Jerry.

@trojanfoxtrot@infosec.exchange Same. Have you rewritten your resume/CV to make it past the applicant tracking system (ATS)/AI bots? I was getting application rejections for job postings that were literally my current job role and decided to rewrite my resume to ensure the formatting wasn’t tripping up their stupid AI software. While I haven’t found a job yet, I HAVE been getting more call-backs post-rewrite. Stay strong, it’s rough out here.

I was trying to carve out an encrypted blob from a PNG file last night using dd and finally triggered the new macOS ClickFix warning in my terminal. It was interesting that it fired because I wasn’t attempting to execute a commonly abused binary like osascript or make an outbound web call. While I haven’t been able to identify what XProtect is flagging on, I’m personally leaning towards either simple pattern matching for risky terms (I did have a suspicious output filename) or literally any pastes from a browser. The latter I have tried numerous times to no avail when this was first released in Tahoe 26.4, so I have no idea. FWIW, this was the offending command: dd if=clik.txt of=encrypted_payload.bin bs=1 skip=27856 status=progress https://9to5mac.com/2026/03/25/macos-26-4-has-new-terminal-popup-warning-when-pasting-commands/ #macos #malware #clickfix

@Gargron Soundtrack to Perfect Days is great. The komorebi cinematography is also equally perfect. Excellent film, highly recommend for everyone.

@HailsandAles Immolation sounds like Immolation.

Network defenders should take a look at and hunt for Overlord RAT, a publicly-available and open-source Go-based RAT. Proofpoint recently published a blog post highlighting its adoption by UNK_DeadDrop, a DPRK-nexus threat group which appears to have used a lightly modified version but can still be detected via Shodan, Censys, or FOFA queries. Proofpoint notes minor operational overlaps with Contagious Interview, but UNK_DeadDrop appears to prefer Overlord while Contagious Interview sticks with OtterCookie/InvisibleFerret. Regardless, extraction of TTPs is super easy when the source code is available and great for folks who want an introduction into detection engineering and/or threat hunting. For example, Overlord RAT ships with default self-signed certificates/port configurations. While advanced adversaries will obviously alter these settings, many groups won’t, including UNK_DeadDrop. This makes developing a baseline detection within Censys/Shodan/FOFA trivial for monitoring. The Censys query in the screenshot is rudimentary, but you get the idea. Start with low-hanging fruit and tune your queries to hunt for advanced adversaries who might be using more bespoke Overlord configurations. Once found, ingest and retro-hunt the IOCs in your environment. Overlord clients will establish C2 communications with these servers. https://www.proofpoint.com/us/blog/threat-insight/dont-fear-repo-unkdeaddrop-phishing-campaign-targets-developers-steal https://github.com/vxaboveground/Overlord #overlord #unk_deaddrop #RAT #detectionengineering #threathunting #cti #threatintel

Friendly reminder that the first round of DEATHCon tickets go on sale July 7th. I recommend setting a reminder and logging on earlier in the day (like, early morning) to purchase as they will sell out quick. DEATHCon is easily the best bang for your conference buck when it comes to the amount of presentations and available logs to cut your teeth on detection engineering and threat hunting. https://deathcon.io/tickets.html #deathcon #threathunting #detectionengineering #conference

@kajer@infosec.exchange impossible travel is hot garbage.
