How many people would you trust with your house keys? Chances are, you have a handful of trusted friends and family members who have an emergency copy, but you definitely wouldn’t hand those out too freely. You have stuff that’s worth protecting—and the more people that have access to your belongings, the higher the odds that something will go missing.

Kali Linux on any Android Phone or Tablet Getting Kali Linux to run on ARM hardware has been a major goal for us since day one. So far, we’ve built native images for the Samsung Chromebook, Odroid U2, Raspberry Pi, RK3306, Galaxy Note 10.1, CuBox, Efika MX, and BeagleBone Black to name a few. This however does not mean you cannot install Kali Linux in a chroot on almost any modern device that runs Android.

One of the most important aspects of every complex system is flexibility. Flexibility of adapting to changing circumstances and leveraging existing investments in technology solutions. The architecture of Unified VRM was designed with flexibility as a primary consideration. It not only has the capability to perform native scans on a wide variety of assets (external, internal, configuration, web application, wireless and more to come) but it also has the flexibility to import scan results from ex

As we have reached the end of this blog post series on SANS 20 Critical Controls, this one is definitely one of my favorites and the one where NopSec can add a lot of value. But before delving into the details, let’s give penetration testing a definition. According to the SANS Critical Control # 20, Penetration testing involves mimicking the actions of computer attackers to identify vulnerabilities in a target organization, and exploiting them to determine what kind of access an attacker

Cyber forensic investigators report that some of the most complicated and audacious hacks started in two simple ways: either with the compromise of an Internet-exposed web application or through the compromise of a misconfigured wireless network. Unified VRM Wireless module allows an organization to perform on-demand wireless penetration testing remotely and without cumbersome equipment.

In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.
