Seguridad Informática
Background Hispasec was founded at the end of 1988 with the launching of "una-al-día" ("One-Per-Day") which is considered to be the first daily service of technical information about IT security in Spanish language. It was created by a group of specialists with the aim of divulgation of the necessity of IT security for users of new information technologies. The success obtained by "One-Per-Day" and the rest of public actions implemented by Hispasec (i.e. analysis, comparatives, new developments, etc.) originated in a practically spontaneous way a demand of service by professionals and companies. Our lab, Hispasec Sistemas, was created in year 2000 in order to attend this demand. Hispasec Sistemas is an organization of a strong technical character, is based on 100% own capital with no participation of other companies and is managed by the very founders and owners of Hispasec.
BlackHole 2.0 gives hackers stealthier ways to pwn
A new version of the BlackHole exploit kit is now out on the web and ready to start infecting. The developer of the toolkit, who goes by the handle "Paunch," recently announced the availability of Blackhole 2.0, which removes much of its trove of known and patched exploits, and replaces them with a whole new crop—along with features that will make it harder for antivirus companies and site owners to detect trouble. BlackHole is a widely-used, web-based software package which includes a collection of tools to take advantage of security holes in web browsers to download viruses, botnet trojans, and other forms of nastiness to the computers of unsuspecting victims.
Documentation - Free Security Scanner For Network Exploration & Security Audits.
The Nmap project tries to defy the stereotype of some open source software being poorly documented by providing a comprehensive set of documentation for installing and using Nmap. This page links to official Insecure.Org documentation, and generous contributions from other parties. The primary documentation for using Nmap is the Nmap Reference Guide. This is also the basis for the Nmap man page (nroff version of nmap.1).

Posted in Tech blog on April 19th, 2012 by Pingdom This year the number of Internet users worldwide reached 2.27 billion, almost exactly twice what it was in 5 years ago, 1.15 billion. We all know the Internet is big, but this kind of growth really puts things into perspective. The Internet population has been swelling rapidly since the arrival of the World Wide Web (which rests firmly on top of the foundation provided by the Internet). It’s human nature to get used to changes, so most of us have a tendency to forget how rapidly the world has changed, and keeps changing.
reaver-wps - Brute force attack against Wifi Protected Setup
Reaver implements a brute force attack against Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases, as described in Reaver has been designed to be a robust and practical attack against WPS, and has been tested against a wide variety of access points and WPS implementations. On average Reaver will recover the target AP's plain text WPA/WPA2 passphrase in 4-10 hours, depending on the AP. In practice, it will generally take half this time to guess the correct WPS pin and recover the passphrase. Intimidated by the command-line?
