🐝 Hive Five 68 – Blessed

Hi friends,

Greetings from the hive!

I hope all is well. What a week! I launched a big project at work and was able to help out with NahamCon. If you're not familiar with it, make sure to check out this video).

I felt blessed working on this edition:

Let's take this week by swarm!

4. Encrypting our way to SSRF in VMWare Workspace One UEM (CVE-2021-22054): Hundreds, if not thousands of enterprises, have to deploy mobile device management software to manage their ever growing fleet of mobile devices used by employees. The best thing about this from an offensive security standpoint, is that the software typically is exposed directly to the internet, to ease user on-boarding and improve day-to-day usage and device coverage.

5. Mindset After 7 years of Bug Bounty - IWCON-S22 Talk by Hussein Daher: Hussein Daher is a Passionate Hacker breaking code for 10+ years.
