mod_auth_ticket - Bringing Single-Sign-On to lighttpdTaisuke Yamada
Explains mod_auth_ticket, a newly developed module for lighttpd to make any website SSO-enabled. Also discusses development experience for lighttpd and some strength evaluation of crypto used by this module.
The document discusses an SSRF attack on Amazon EC2 Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) version 1. It describes how IMDSv1 could be accessed from outside the instance by exploiting vulnerabilities in a web application firewall (WAF). The attack allowed accessing credentials of an IAM role that had permissions to an S3 bucket storing personal information. To mitigate such risks, Amazon introduced IMDSv2, which the document then explains can still be bypassed using techniques like the Gopher protocol. It concludes by emphasizing the need for organizations to strengthen defenses against SSRF attacks.

Security requirements for IoT devices are becoming more defined, as seen with the EU Cyber Resilience Act and Japan’s JC-STAR.
It's common for IoT devices to run Linux as their operating system. However, adopting general-purpose Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Debian, or Yocto-based Linux, presents certain difficulties. This article outlines those difficulties.
It also, it highlights the security benefits of using a Linux-based container OS and explains how to adopt it with JC-STAR, using the "Armadillo Base OS" as an example.
