Uncharted ADCS Virtual Account Attack: Hijack Domain Machines End‑to‑End

The article demonstrates how, with remote code execution as a Windows virtual account, an attacker can abuse ADCS to request a machine certificate, export it as a PFX, extract the machine's NTLM hash via PKINIT, and then use S4U2SELF (or a TGTDeleg path) to fully compromise a domain‑joined host without installing extra tools.

How I Hacked Hard‑Drive Firmware to Crack Xbox 360

To trigger an Xbox 360 race‑condition exploit, the researcher reverse‑engineered four hard‑drive models, extracted and analyzed their firmware, used JTAG and vendor‑specific commands to locate the DMA READ EXT handler, injected a 200 ms delay loop, and ultimately found the exploit works without any firmware modification.
