A default password, a preconfigured password for a device or software, can be easily found on the internet and in instruction manuals; thus, it must be changed during the initial setup. If the default password is not changed, it can create a significant security vulnerability, as anyone who knows the default password can easily gain access to [...]
Most domains and IP addresses on the internet have WHOIS information, which includes details of the internet asset owners, such as their domain name, IP address, and AS (Autonomous System) number. This WHOIS information helps users estimate where the cyberattack was initiated and has been widely used in digital forensics. Criminal IP provides the "as_name" filter that enables users [...]
Website defacement is a cyberattack in which a hacker gains unauthorized access to a website and alters its visual appearance, often leaving behind evidence indicating that the website has been attacked.

For instance, if we examine the SSL certificate of criminalip.io, we can see that it is "Verified by" Sectigo Limited (formerly known as Comodo CA), which indicates that a [...]
With the growing need for efficient file handling and backup storage, Network Attached Storage (NAS) has emerged as a widely adopted solution. However, this increased usage has also brought attention to significant security issues surrounding NAS, particularly concerning popular products like QNAP and Synology. Besides the vulnerabilities identified with CVE ID, NAS systems also face [...]
With the acceleration of digital transformation and the growing number of companies extending their businesses to the cloud, many unmonitored external attack surfaces (VPNs, RDPs, SMBs, certificates, mobile devices, etc.) are giving rise to frequent attacks by threat actors. To effectively protect against external attacks, it is essential to precisely identify all IT assets and [...]
