gallia – An Extendable Pentesting Framework

gallia is an extendable pentesting framework with the focus on the automotive domain, developed by Fraunhofer AISEC under the Apache 2.0 license. The scope of the toolchain is conducting penetration tests from a single ECU up to whole cars. Currently, the main focus lies on the UDS interface but is not limited to it. Acting as a generic interface, the logging functionality implements reproducible tests and enables post-processing tasks.
The following blog post introduces gallia’s architecture, its plugin interface, and its intended use case. The post covers the interaction between its components and shows how gallia can be extended for other use cases.

Android App Link Risks

Android App Links enable linking web content to mobile apps. The provided systems have been shown to have several issues, discovered by Tang et al. back in 2020, primarily link hijacking by three different means. Throughout the years there has been little information on the state of these issues, whether they were fixed and when. This post aims to provide information on exactly that.

A (somewhat) gentle introduction to lattice-based post-quantum cryptography

In recent years, significant progress in researching and building quantum computers has been made. A fully-fledged quantum computer would be able to efficiently solve a distinct set of mathematical problems like integer factorization and the discrete logarithm, which are the basis for a wide range of cryptographic schemes. In 2016, NIST announced an open competition with the goal of finding and standardizing suitable algorithms for quantum-resistant cryptography. The standardization effort by NIST is aimed at post-quantum secure KEMs and digital signatures. In this article, two of the to-be-standardized algorithms, Kyber and Dilithium, are presented and some of their mathematical details are outlined. Both algorithms are based on so-called lattices and the thereupon constructed »Learning with Errors«, which we will get to know in the following.

ChatGPT — the hot new tool for hackers?

ChatGPT is the AI software that supposedly does it all: It’s expected to compose newspaper articles and write theses — or program malware. Is ChatGPT developing into a new tool for hackers and cyber criminals that makes it even easier for them to create malware? Institute director Prof. Dr. Claudia Eckert and AI expert Dr. Nicolas Müller give their opinion on the potential threat to digital security posed by ChatGPT.
