Container Security: Escaping Docker and Attacking Kubernetes

Containers offer process isolation, not security boundaries. Privileged containers, exposed Docker sockets, misconfigured Kubernetes RBAC, and accessible cloud metadata endpoints all create paths from a compromised container to full cluster or host compromise. Understanding these vectors is essential for assessing environments that rely on containerization as part of their security model.

Password Reset Security: Common Flaws in Account Recovery Flows

Password reset flows are one of the most consistently misconfigured parts of authentication systems. Predictable tokens, missing expiry, host header injection, absent rate limiting, and information leakage through differential responses each represent exploitable weaknesses. Because account recovery is treated as an edge case rather than a critical path, it frequently receives less security scrutiny than the primary login flow — despite being a direct path to account takeover.

Software Supply Chain Security: Dependencies as Attack Vectors

Modern applications depend on hundreds of third-party packages, build tools, and external services. Each one is a potential entry point. Software supply chain attacks exploit this dependency chain — targeting package registries, open-source maintainers, build pipelines, and update mechanisms — to distribute malicious code inside software that organizations trust by default. Understanding the attack surface is the first step to assessing it.
