Step-By-Step Guide

iOS binary modification is fundamentally different from Android. No smali here — you're dealing with compiled ARM64 Mach-O binaries, strict code signing, and a locked-down runtime. Here's the full methodology.

APK modification to bypass premium/license checks is a core mobile security assessment skill. The goal is to identify how the app determines "premium" status and subvert that logic. Here's the full workflow, from decompilation to repackaging.

Rainbow tables are a time-memory trade-off technique used to crack password hashes. Instead of brute-forcing each password guess and hashing it on the fly (time-intensive), you precompute a massive lookup table mapping hashes back to their plaintext inputs (storage-intensive). Rainbow tables sit in the middle — compressing the chain so you trade some CPU time for significantly less disk space.

Nmap is the industry-standard tool for network discovery and security auditing. It's used to discover hosts, services, open ports, and operating systems on a network — essential for any penetration test or security assessment.

During an authorized security assessment, "wiretap" on a mobile device can mean several things: stalkerware installed by an abusive partner, enterprise MDM monitoring, a malicious app with excessive permissions, a compromised device via a sophisticated implant, or even a network-level interception. I'll cover detection and removal for each category, with evidence preservation as a priority — if this has legal implications, the forensic trail matters as much as the removal its

DSTIKE watches are wearable ESP8266/ESP32 development boards that look like chunky smartwatches but function as portable WiFi attack platforms. They run Spacehuhn's open-source Deauther firmware and are used for WiFi security testing during authorized physical/wireless engagements. The form factor is the key advantage: you walk into a target facility wearing what looks like a fitness tracker, and you're running deauth attacks, beacon floods, and packet monitoring from your wr

Paywalls are access control mechanisms, and like all access controls, they can be tested. During an authorized engagement, your goal is to identify weaknesses in the paywall implementation so the client can harden them. Every bypass technique here corresponds to a specific implementation flaw. I'll walk through how paywalls work, then methodically break each type.

In physical penetration testing, a "drop address" is a location where you receive or stage equipment without linking it back to your real identity or the testing firm. This could be receiving Hak5 implants shipped by a vendor, accepting a package at a location the target won't scrutinize, or staging equipment near a target site for a physical breach. The goal is to break the chain of attribution between the equipment, the tester, and the engagement. I'll cover the full spectr

Here's the complete workflow from blank file to shell on target, covering syntax, common patterns, compilation, testing, and deployment across all current Hak5 implant platforms. This article / guide is on how to create DuckyScript payloads.

Same ground truth as the Fire tablet: there's no iOS-style jailbreak for Fire OS. What you're actually going for falls into two tiers depending on your model and goals: Custom Launcher + Debloat, System-Level ADB Exploit, & True Root / Bootloader Unlock.

First, a terminology reality check: Fire tablets run Fire OS (a heavily modified Android fork). There's no "jailbreak" in the iOS sense. What you're actually looking for falls into three tiers, depending on your model and goals, Fire Toolbox, System-Level ADB Exploit, & True Root / Unlocked Bootloader.
