We’re back from hack.lu and as every year, it was a blast. Very nice and smart attendees from all around the world, good talks and entertaining evening events. Try finding a restaurant for about 50 hackers in the inner city of Luxembourg sometime. It’s fun :).
Much happened this year, apart from the usual exchange of [...]
I have already mentioned in this blog post that there’s always standard stuff you have to do in a pentest. Finding all the standard security issues is important for the completeness of the pentest and should never be neglected. You will look rather stupid if you find the remote root exploit that can only be [...]
Also tagged pentest, teamworkWe at RedTeam are really looking forward to BruCON which is bound to happen in a little less than three months, so we eagerly follow the BruCON Blog. Maybe that’s why we were the first to solve the the PDF reverse engineering challenge they posted a couple of days ago. Apart from the fun diversion [...]
Also tagged Conferences, Fun, Hacking, Reverse EngineeringThe new design for RedTeam Pentesting’s homepage is finally online. Took us a while, as normal office life is quite busy and we did the whole technical stuff ourselves (especially Lutz, who’s apparently not only very skilled in breaking websites, but also in building them ;). I guess we all owe him for making our [...]

We really enjoyed being there in the past and are looking forward to the CTF this year. This year, all of us will attend the conference, so maybe we [...]
The last weeks we have been busy moving to a bigger office. More details will be posted soon. Until then, here is a picture of our awesome new front door:
Also taggedWhen we went to New York for a meeting with one of our customers, we used the public transportation system there (as parking a car in NYC is suicide). If you’ve never been to the states and experienced their overuse of silly warning labels, you won’t believe what you’ll find on the MetroCard backside:
Right, who’d [...]
Also taggedThese days, one of our pentesters wanted to get some money at an ATM. Being in this business for some time makes you notice things others would miss, though:
Doing skimming at an ATM frequented by a pentester? Tough luck ;).
Of course, he immediately notified the bank and the police. You’ll never guess what their comment [...]
Also taggedRecently, we had to test something for its physical security. Thus, we needed to produce a highly customised attack tool in our laboratory:
But as this weapon of mass hacking awesomeness could not be used for everything, we also needed to do some good old hacking by hand. Literally. Unfortunately a major line of defense of [...]

So, who says cryptographers only break theoretical constructs? ;-)
