Enable High Priority Updates on Steam for your favorite games

If you buy lots of games on the Steam gaming platform and have many of them installed on your computer system, you may have noticed that there is a first come first serve basis in regards to game installations and updates.

Updates for instance are installed one after the other, which is not that much of a problem for most users, but if you have dozens or even more than a hundred games installed, you may have noticed that the "wrong" games get updated first while you have to wait for your favorite games to be updated because of this before you can start playing them.

Valve recently introduced a new high priority update feature to Steam which resolves this for you. It enables you to set automatic updates to high priority for individual games so that their updates are prioritized over everything else.

Extracting RSAPrivateCrtKey and Certificates from an Android Process

An Android application that I assessed recently had extensive cryptographic controls to protect client-server communication and to secure its local storage. To top that, its source code was completely obfuscated. Combined, these two factors made the application a great candidate for reversing. In this blog I will detail the portion of work where I dumped X.509 certificates and constructed a RSA private key (RSAPrivateCrtKey) from the Android application memory using Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool (MAT) and Java code.

Analyzing Android Memory with Eclipse MAT

Eclipse MAT is primarily a Java heap analyzer that has extensive usage beyond its primary purpose of identifying memory leaks. It can be used to identify and dump sensitive information in Android application memory, perform some memory forensics etc… If you are new to Android memory analysis, I recommend that you get intimate with this tool for its obvious benefits. The following articles can help you get started.

Using the OmniKey CardMan 5321/5325 in Kali Linux

You'll need HID's Linux drivers to make this work. This may seem like a simple task, but the driver is not really obvious on the HID website. The CardMan 5321 product overview page has a link to the drivers download page, but rather then bringing you directly to the CardMan's drivers, it brings you to the page for every driver for ever HID reader. The first one is for Linux, which I think is where people get caught up.

The file I downloaded was ifdokrfid_lnx_i686-2.10.0.1.tar.gz. Here's a screenshot of the download location (you have to do some scrolling to find it):

I didn't try the 64-bit version, so use with caution.

NoMachine – An Advanced Remote Desktop Access Tool

Working remotely is not a new thing for Linux Administrators. Especially when he/she is not in front of the server. Generally, the GUI is not installed by default on Linux servers. But there may some Linux Administrators who choose to install GUI on Linux servers.

When your server has a GUI, you may want to remote the server with full desktop experience. To do that you may install VNC Server on that server. In this article, we will cover aboutNoMachine as an alternate Remote Desktop Tool.

SQL Injection Tutorial: All common SQL injection problems and Solutions

Hello,
    Today an tutorial for you what covers most problems while doing SQL injection and solutions to them. Probably every person who has looked at tutorials to hack a website have noticed that there are too much SQL tutorials. Almost every forum has 10 tutorials and blogs 5 tutorials about SQL injection, but actually those tutorials are stolen from somewhere else and the author doesn't probably even know why does SQL injection work. All of those tutorials are like textbooks with their ABC's and the result is just a mess. Everyone are writing tutorials about SQL, but nobody covers the problems what will come with that attack.

What is the cause of most problems related to SQL injection?

Webdevelopers aren't always really dumb and they have also heard of hackers and have implemented some security measures like WAF or manual protetion. WAF is an Web application firewall and will block all malicous requests, but WAF's are quite easy to bypass. Nobody would like to have their site hacked and they are also implementing some security, but ofcourse it would be false to say that if we fail then it's the servers fault. There's also a huge possibility that we're injecting otherwise than we should.
