Ransomware Defense: Recovery Strategies and Backup Automation
1. Introduction In 2026, ransomware has evolved: it no longer just encrypts files, but also exfiltrates data (double extortion), deletes backup snapshots, infects cloud backups, and attacks entire supply chains. According to Mandiant M-Trends 2026 and IBM X-Force reports, the average recovery time has dropped to less than 48 hours for well-prepared organizations, but exceeds two weeks for those without automation. In this article we will explore ransomware defense strategies focused on fast recovery and backup automation. We will build a complete lab with Docker Compose where we simulate an attack, execute automated recovery, and verify data integrity. 2. Ransomware …
REST API Security Testing with Burp Suite: Hands-on Lab
1. Introduction REST APIs are the nervous system of modern applications: they connect frontends to backends, microservices to each other, and enable mobile devices to access data in real time. But if a poorly protected database can be compromised with SQL injection, a poorly designed API can expose the entire infrastructure with a single payload. In this article we will perform a complete security lab on a REST API using Burp Suite, the de facto standard tool for web pentesting. We will cover everything from endpoint discovery to exploiting common vulnerabilities: IDOR, missing rate limiting, parameter injection, and authentication errors. …
Prompt Injection in LLM-based Applications: Analysis, Exploitation and Defense
Prompt injection is the modern heir of SQL injection. In this article we analyze what it is, why it tops the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, and we build a complete lab: jailbreak, indirect injection and exfiltration, with its defense in depth. …
