I found many instructions and guides in the Internet that describe How to hide related products tab on shop page to be NOT WORKING!
It's a freaking pain in the ass to hide your related products tab on your shop page. The method to actually hide related products depends on the WooCommerce theme that you are using. In this article, we are going to present a method that provably works for every theme and WooCommerce version out there.
Step 1 …

Similarly as digital signatures, Message Authentication Codes provide message integrity and message authentication. When Alice generates a MAC and sends the message and MAC to Bob, Bob verifies that the message has integrity by calculating the MAC himself. He also authenticates the message, because only Alice could have generated the MAC.
Unlike digital signatures they do however not provide nonrepudiation, since all involved parties share the secret key \(k\). MAC's can be implemented using cryptographically secure hash functions (HMAC) or symmetric block ciphers like AES.
A MAC consists of …

This blog post will introduce cryptographic hash functions. We are going to discuss the Merkle-Damgård construction which underlies many hash functions that were and are used nowadays. The MD4, MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-2 hash families are all functions that built on top of the Merkle-Damgård construction. Then we will introduce an alternative construction that was popularized during the publication of Keccak (SHA-3): The Sponge construction.
But what are cryptographic hash functions good for?
The general idea is to apply a unique and stable fingerprint to each input data \(x …

All sources for this blog post can be found in the Github repository about large primes. The most recent version of the sources may only be found in the Github repository.
It has been a long time since I found the energy to write a new blog post. In this article, I am going to dig into a interesting area of cryptography: The task to find large prime numbers. We hopefully are all familiar with the concept of prime numbers. Prime numbers are integers \(p\) which are dividable only …

This blog post will serve as a cheatsheet to help in my future pentesting experiments and wargames when I am stuck and don't know how to proceed. I hope it will be of use for some people out there. This document will likely change and evolve in future revisions.
In this blog post I will discuss common privilege escalation techniques. I assume that an attack got a foothold into the server by spawning a webshell over SQL-Injections or similar web exploitation vectors.
Other people have published great information …
