TL;DR Unallocated space retains remnants of deleted files, metadata, logs, caches, and other artefacts. This is useful if a user attempts to cover their tracks, delete files, reformat drives, or use anti-forensic tools. These remnants can help reconstruct user actions exposing data exfiltration efforts. We provide a breakdown of how PhotoRec is used to recover…

Inner Product Masking (IPM) is one representative masking scheme, which captivates by so-called Security Order Amplification (SOA) property. It is commonly recognized that SOA holds under linear leakages. In this paper, we revisit SOA from a non-profiling attack perspective. Specifically, we conduct statistical analyses on three non-profiling distinguishers, including Pearson Coefficient Distinguisher (PCD), Spearman Coefficient…

A sophisticated multi-layered phishing campaign was uncovered, employing a complex attack chain known as “Cascading Shadows” to deliver various malware, including Agent Tesla, XLoader, and Remcos RAT. The attackers’ strategy hinges on using multiple, seemingly simple but strategically layered stages, which not only evade traditional sandbox environments but also complicates analysis by cybersecurity experts. The…
