Stop testing in prod (even someone else's)! Are you tired of installing Active Directory on your test VMs for the 100th time? Ever YOLO a binary off GitHub into prod because your testing setup is tedious? I've built a solution: ludus.cloud (1/5)
Consistently seeing Ludus related content in these posts a year and a half after release. Finding Ludus wallpapers or domain names in write ups is really cool. It's great that Ludus is helping push security forward in its little way ☺️
PIC agents (@_RastaMouse), ToolShell, Async BOFs (@Cneelis), SCCM MP relays (@unsigned_sh0rt), and more! blog.badsectorlabs.com/last-week-in-s…
LudusHound (@bagelByt3s), SpeechRuntimeMove (@ShitSecure), Havoc Pro (@C5pider), FortiWeb RCE (@SinSinology), SailPoint IQService RCE (@NetSPI), Altiris RCE (@lefterispan), WAF bypass (@nyxgeek), and more! blog.badsectorlabs.com/last-week-in-s…
🔴 Red and blue teams, this one's for you. 🔵 LudusHound bridges BloodHound Attack Paths with lab automation by creating a functional Active Directory replica testing environment. Read @bagelByt3s blog post for more. ghst.ly/40Ippn1
This is 🔥 🔥 🔥 LESS AND LESS excuses on why you can’t test before YOLOing in your client network. Amazing work Beyviel 👏 @SpecterOps specterops.io/blog/2025/07/1…
Ludushound shows the power of community driven innovation in cybersecurity. @bagelByt3s created an awesome tool to convert bloodhound data into a working lab in 🏟️ Ludus. Replicate complex live environments with automation - and get back to the fun stuff! specterops.io/blog/2025/07/1…
Few exploit devs consistently impress like @SinSinology. Seems like there isn't a week that goes by that we don't put an unauth-RCE of his in Last Week in Security. Keep crushing it! 👏👏👏
Another Falls! Fortinet PSIRT really needs to go out and touch grass ☠️
Introducing Havoc Professional: A Lethal Presence We’re excited to share a first look at Havoc Professional, a next-generation, highly modular Command and Control framework, and Kaine-kit our fully Position Independent Code agent engineered for stealth! infinitycurve.org/blog/introduct…

Lots of good write ups (like Citrix Bleed 2) but my favorite was seeing how 🏟️ Ludus.cloud helped Cameron Stish of Guidepoint Security find "LoopyTicket" (CVE-2025-33073). blog.badsectorlabs.com/last-week-in-s…
Tons of great content released over the past few weeks. Get caught up with Last Week in Security! blog.badsectorlabs.com/last-week-in-s…

This week's edition is packed full of great techniques and tools! One of the longest posts we've done; there's so much cool stuff being released. blog.badsectorlabs.com/last-week-in-s…
Want to learn pivoting this weekend? The 🏟️Ludus community created a Pivot Lab with 11 different pivoting tools! Check it out: docs.ludus.cloud/docs/environme…

I just spun up Ludus by @badsectorlabs for the first time. Everything just works! It's brought me a great amount of joy! Thank you 😄
Two of the linked posts use 🏟️Ludus.cloud in their PoCs. Why aren't you? It's free, open source, and built to make your life easier.

🚀 We just released my research on BadSuccessor - a new unpatched Active Directory privilege escalation vulnerability It allows compromising any user in AD, it works with the default config, and.. Microsoft currently won't fix it 🤷♂️ Read Here - akamai.com/blog/security-…

Cobalt Strike for free!? Adaptix C2 (@hacker_ralf) is the best open source C2 I've used since Havoc (@C5pider). SOCKS5, remote and local port forwards, and BOF support! Now it's easy to install the server + client, especially on 🏟️Ludus with our new role: github.com/badsectorlabs/…
