Nowadays, we can distinguish various branches within a security team Red Teams, Blue Teams, Purple Teams & Bug Hunters.
But what does each team do?
This difference in colors, adding a new category related to bug bounty, makes us think about common tasks that all these approaches can have within a company; and the truth is, they have a lot. First, let's talk about the definition of each one.

Nmap (Network Mapper) is a popular network scanner that allows discovering ports and services, providing relevant information about a network. In addition to basic port scanning, Nmap offers a wide range of options and advanced functionalities. It can perform TCP, UDP, and SCTP scans, operating system detection scans, service version detection, script scans, and much more. It also allows customization of scans and generation of detailed reports.

In Security, the concept of attack-surface (or attack surface) refers to the set of entry points that an attacker can use to access a system or application and carry out an attack. In other words, it is the complete map in which a system or application can be violated. They may include software vulnerabilities, insecure configurations, unauthorized access, open ports, application programming interfaces (APIs), among others. The larger the attack surface of a system or application, the greater the risk that an attacker could exploit a vulnerability and compromise the security of the system.

We have just released a YARA to detect vulnerable images of Acropalypse in scale. We also added a sanitization script to remove extra information from PNG files.
