Cyber Attack Map

At the time I took the screenshot, it was happening quite a lot all over the place… I wonder how precise such a tool can be.

Explore Android as a Security Test Platform

I have previously blogged about the mobile pentest toolkit zANTI. They have a new version out with a handy GUI. This I use for proof-of-concept in private just to help my friends and family to get a better security mindset, e.g., how vulnerable you are on an open WIFI network.
