In this month’s Red Team Hacking feature, you will learn about a tool called Hoaxshell, which is very useful during pen testing and Red Team hacking. Hoaxshell is a Windows reverse shell payload generator and handler that uses HTTP and HTTPs protocol to establish a reverse shell. The payloads generated through Hoaxshell were 100% FUD for a lot of time but they are now being generally detected by AV’s. However, by obfuscating the generated payload either manually or through automatic tools, AV software can still be bypassed. In this Issue, we will show you how to setup Hoaxshell in Kali, generate a payload and get a reverse shell from the target system. So, let’s start. Hoaxshell has been added to the Kali’s repositories by default with the latest release of…

Frederick Scholl Associate Teaching Professor of Cybersecurity, Quinnipiac University When top White House defense and national security leaders discussed plans for an attack on targets in Yemen over the messaging app Signal, it raised many questions about operational security and recordkeeping and national security laws. It also puts Signal in the spotlight. Why do so many government officials, activists and journalists use Signal for secure messaging? The short answer is that it uses end-to-end encryption, meaning no one in position to eavesdrop on the communication – including Signal itself – can read messages they intercept. But Signal isn’t the only messaging app that uses end-to-end encryption, and end-to-end encryption isn’t the only consideration in choosing a secure messaging app. In addition, secure messaging apps are only part of the picture…
