🎃 Happy Halloween! The end of #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth means it's time for our EoL-palooza grand finale!

The scariest find? A surge of End-of-Life Proxmox systems... software zombies attackers feast on.

🧟‍♂️ @hdm.io has the guide to hunt them down: www.runzero.com/blog/managin...
After VMware: Managing EOL for Proxmox Hypervisors
Outdated Proxmox VE installs leave systems exposed as users migrate from VMware. With runZero you can easily identify EoL hosts and expiring TLS certs.

So this story is super duper interesting for a whole ton of reasons, but one big one is its a very rare glimpse into the private valuation of high-end exploits held by major defense contractors

Just like chocolate and peanut butter, runZero and BloodHound are an amazing combination. Today we are introducing runZeroHound - an open source toolkit for bringing runZero Asset Inventory data into BloodHound attack graphs: www.runzero.com/blog/introdu...
Uncovering network attack paths with runZeroHound
runZeroHound converts runZero asset inventories into BloodHound OpenGraph imports, enabling Cypher-based analysis of real network attack paths.

The CVE program nearly lost its funding. Cue the collective InfoSec panic.

But only ~20% of incidents start with a CVE exploit. The rest? Misconfigs + bad segmentation exposures tools shrug at.
