This research project started when Javier’s wife, our ex Research leader, told him their IP camera had stopped working. Javier was asked to fix it, but, as a security researcher, the temptation was too great. He brought the camera to the office and discussed the problem with Octavio, another security researcher at Faraday. The situation quickly escalated from some light reverse engineering to a full-fledged vulnerability research project, which ended with two high-severity bugs and an exploitation strategy worthy of the big screen.

We understand that security is your top priority, and it is our obsession to protect all your digital assets and footprints. However, we recognize that time is equally valuable. It's with pride that we introduce a significant performance enhancement for our users.

But the outcome of all that is so rewarding. It only placed the bar higher for us, which means we have a tough job for next year. We're saying goodbye to 2023 with a major release. We're pleased to welcome Faraday v.5.0.0. It represents a huge leap in performance for all of our users and customers. We're euphoric about it and very thankful for the team that made it happen. We're a top-tier product that keeps getting better. You can leave your feedback at Gartner and read more about other users' opinions.

Pentesters use a comprehensive and complete toolkit to expose different platforms and evaluate the security of an IT infrastructure. They safely try to exploit vulnerabilities and are experts at reporting failures, data leakage, or other vulnerabilities.
In this post, we present these tools and the several ways they can be applied.

Our risk scoring system goes beyond mere criticality analysis, pinpointing precisely where real vulnerabilities lie. It offers a straightforward representation, not just an objective evaluation framework, but a curated set of filters tailored to prioritize based on specific contexts. Prioritization becomes a time-saving asset; now, you can filter vulnerabilities from a hacker's perspective.

We're thrilled to introduce you to a series of enhancements designed to elevate your performance and take your team's vulnerability management to the next level.
