PacketHunters delivers technical cybersecurity threat analysis, offering deep dives into attacks, indicators, tactics, and methods behind real-world security incidents.
AI agents behave like users but are governed with static credentials and fragmented visibility. A technical analysis of identity drift, phishing risk, and why current IAM models are inadequate.
Zombie identities are accounts and tokens that simulate real users long after their purpose is gone. This technical deep dive explains how they emerge in code, why they break recovery, and how attackers abuse them.
JWT audience confusion allows valid tokens to be reused across services, breaking identity boundaries without breaking cryptography. A technical, experience-driven analysis of how this happens in real systems.
Man-in-the-middle attacks persist not because of weak networks, but because developers trust code paths, certificates, and assumptions that are never properly curated. A technical deep dive into real MITM failure modes.
Malicious browser extensions silently exfiltrate identity data, sessions, and chats while bypassing traditional security controls. This technical deep dive shows how they work and why recovery plans ignore them.
Let’s get something straight: most “holiday breaches” don’t start during the holidays – we already covered last week.They continue during the holidays. We didn’t exploit a 0day.We didn’t phish anyone on December 29th.We didn’t bruteforce a login. We reused an identity that was already trusted, and that’s the part everyone keeps missing. The myth: “no
