Episode notes
Querying Honeypot Data
- Use Elasticsearch piped query language for querying honeypot data.
- Practice with it in a test environment before deploying to production.
MongoDB Injection Vulnerability
- Mongoose, a MongoDB library, has an injection vulnerability similar to SQL injection.
- This highlights the risk of abstraction layers like object-relational mappers failing to escape queries properly.
U-Boot Vulnerabilities
- Update u-Boot, a common bootloader, to patch vulnerabilities that allow integrity check bypasses.
- These vulnerabilities can enable the execution of malicious code during boot.
