The full power of interacting with APIs is revealed when used together with programming code, allowing for the dynamic formation of API requests and tools for analyzing API responses. However, the Python Software Development Kit (hereinafter — Python SDK) for Check Point Management API remains relatively unnoticed, which is a pity. It significantly simplifies life for developers and automation enthusiasts. Python […]
The Brave Browser, a product based on Chromium, has been caught by users inserting referral links when visiting certain websites. For instance, a referral code is added to the link when navigating to 'binance.us', turning the original link into 'binance.us/en?ref=35089877'. Similarly, the browser behaves this way with some other cryptocurrency-related websites. According to available data, the referral link […]

The EasyPrivacy filter used in uBlock Origin has been updated with rules to block common network port scanning scripts on the user's local system. It is worth noting that in May, port scanning was detected when accessing the eBay.com website. It turned out that this practice is not limited to eBay, as many other websites (Citibank, TD Bank, Sky, GumTree, WePay, etc.) also engage in port scanning […]

I'm sure that everyone who has ever worked with Check Point has had a complaint about the inability to edit the configuration from the command line. This is particularly outrageous for those who have previously worked with Cisco ASA, where almost everything can be configured in CLI. With Check Point, it’s the opposite — all security settings were exclusively done through the graphical interface. However, some […]
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was released on June 5 for PC (Steam and Origin) and appeared on piracy sites the same day. The notorious hacking group CODEX is responsible for the breach of the remastered collection. It is worth noting that Petroglyph and Electronic Arts did not attempt to take additional measures to protect the project. It was equipped with the standard DRM protection of the Steam service, which […]
The release of the NST (Network Security Toolkit) live distribution 32-11992 has been announced, designed for network security analysis and monitoring its operation. The size of the bootable ISO image (x86_64) is 4.1 GB. A special repository has been prepared for Fedora Linux users, allowing them to install all developments created within the NST project on an already installed system. The distribution is based on Fedora 30 and allows for installation […]
The Brave web browser has revealed the substitution of referral links when trying to open certain websites by entering their domain in the address bar (the links remain unchanged on open pages). For example, when entering "binance.com" in the address bar, the autocomplete system automatically adds the referral link "binance.com/en?ref=35089877" to the domain. Similar behavior has been observed for domains such as coinbase.com, binance.us, ledger.com, and trezor.io. Such actions were […]
