ps_testware is proud that one of its consultants, Steven Wierckx, appeared in the July edition of both Pentest magazine and Auditing & Standards magazine.

The article in Pentest magazine covers a specific topic within the field of security testing, namely "Denial-of-service attacks". First, Steven states what a "DOS attack" is and how it works. Then he dives deeper into the different types of DOS attacks and explains them in detail.

Finally, the article pays attention to their mitigation and provides additional information for those readers who want to expand their knowledge on this subject.

The article in Auditing & Standards magazine covers e-mail espionage and the diversity of ways in which hackers try to gain access to corporate emails. Steven explains that these attacks are rarely part of traditional penetration tests.
To address these challenges, he demonstrates the use of the URLCRazy tool that helps you to discover potential espionage.
