Think of CERT-In as the guardians of the Indian cyberspace. Their mission is to prevent and deal with cyber attacks across the Indian information technology infrastructure. This includes infrastructure belonging to Government, Public and Private entities. They are operational 24 hours, even during government and other holidays, combating cyber threats of different complexities. The Indian […]
One of the important aspects of a red team engagement is Social Egineering (SE). It often paves the way for initial compromise within the target organization network (assuming that the engagement is not following assumed breach methodology). However, most texts on red team engagements delve only briefly into this subject. Therefore, I chose social engineering […]
After completing my last book, I decided to go for another Sparc Flow book. Full disclosure, it had been in my partial read pile for some time (don’t let that reflect on the quality of the book, that’s totally on me). This review is for the book How to Hack Like a GHOST by Sparc […]
It’s been some time since I posted my last review, so here comes the next one. This one is for the book Ethical Hacking by Daniel G. Graham. It’s been a couple of months since I finished this book. That’s the time it takes (at least for me) to truly absorb all the information presented […]

It was published in February 2020 by Packt Publishing. This is not the only book […]
A part of my work involves working with Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) so I wanted to brush up my CTI knowledge and learn new concepts (maybe!). I picked up Practical Threat Intelligence and Data-Driven Threat Hunting by Valentina Costa-Gazcón (published in October 2020 by Packt Publishing Limited). This book has been on my reading list […]
After taking some time to finish my eLearnSecurity Certified Reverse Engineer certification, I decided to pick up another book. This time I chose API security as the topic and went for Hacking APIs: Breaking Web Application Programming Interfaces by Corey Ball. It was published in April 2022 by No Starch Press. Content Overview This book […]
