Plaintext and ciphertext go hand in hand, as all cryptographic algorithms take a plaintext message and convert it into the unreadable form of a ciphertext.| Encryption Consulting
Decryption is taking encrypted data and converting it back to its original form. Learn more about the different types of decryption and encryption algorithms.| Encryption Consulting
Introduction In this blog, we’ll go over the different methods we can use to encrypt and decrypt data in a PostgreSQL database. Having some experience with Linux and PostgreSQL is necessary, while experience with encryption is not but is nice to have. This blog was written using PostgreSQL 16 running on Ubuntu 23.04. First I’ll| Highgo Software Inc. - Enterprise PostgreSQL Solutions
In Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Super Secret Bases were introduced as a step up from the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Secret Bases for a new hardware generation, able to take advantage of the new 3DS features which did not exist with the GameBoy Advance. One of these features happened to be the front and back facing cameras, which yielded a vector for sharing secret bases via QR code. However despite the game having been released quite some time ago, it seems nobody has figured out their d...| [Segmentation Fault]

Sniffing plaintext network traffic between apps and their backend APIs is an important step for pentesters to learn about how they interact. In this blog post, we’ll introduce a method to simplify getting our hands on plaintext messages sent between apps ran on our attacker-controlled devices and the API, and in case of HTTPS, shoveling these requests and responses into Burp for further analysis by combining existing tools and introducing a new plugin we developed. So our approach is less o...| Silent Signal Techblog
As intra-app URLs used in web applications are generated and parsed by the same code base, there’s no external force pushing developers towards using a human-readable form of serialization. Sure, it’s easier to do debugging and development, but that’s why I used the word “external”. Many frameworks use custom encodings, but one of the most extreme things a developer can do in this regard is completely encrypting request parameters. We encountered such a setup during a recent web app...| Silent Signal Techblog
After I read the description of the Plesk vulnerability CVE-2012-1557 I decided to investigate the application a bit deeper. You can download a fully installed VMware image from the internet so you can skip the install and save some time. The PHP files which belong to the PLESK application are encrypted:| Silent Signal Techblog
