APT Encyclopedia updated: every claim in the 62 profiles checked against its source, wrong citations fixed or removed, all changes logged. Work continues on the extraction agents so only claims a primary source supports make it in.

New writeup: Patch-Gap Zero-Days: BlueMoon.
Five China-nexus clusters chained two V8 patch-gap bugs (CVE-2026-85046, CVE-2026-87491) to one Windows ALPC LPE zero-day (CVE-2026-85880) against Chrome on Windows.

‼️ BREAKING: Nightmare-Eclipse just released another zeroday, this time a proof-of-concept called FalconFlank, which claims a local privilege-escalation flaw in CrowdStrike Falcon — abusing the sensor's own malicious-Office-macro remediation to reach SYSTEM on fully updated Windows 11 25H2 and Server 2025.

Cyllex v0.4.0:
604 TTPs across 7 platforms. Full Azure & GCP cloud coverage, Kubernetes & Docker container testing, 4 SIEM integrations, and 21 APT group profiles in the new APT Codex.
Beta is targeting late March / early April. I track progress publicly, you can see exactly where things stand at any point.
One last thing:
thank you. Building this solo takes time, and knowing people are actually following along makes it worth it. Every subscription, every piece of feedback, every message asking about the beta reminds me why I started this in the first place. Genuinely appreciate the support.

Big update!,
• Events ID added to all the TTPs
• SIEM correlation actually works end-to-end now. Splunk, Sentinel, and AWS SecurityHub integrated
• Verify detections directly from the Campaigns panel
• Run queries from within the framework itself, no need to jump between tools
More news coming soon
Spent the weekend working on Cyllex and added a Splunk integration for log correlation. Also added detection events for each TTP. There's still a lot of work ahead, but it's starting to look great! I'll keep working on more integrations.
Thanks to everyone who's been showing interest and supporting the project! :)

The upcoming Malware Development course update will focus on persistence.
The demo video below, part of our WMI persistence module, demonstrates achieving persistence when Microsoft Defender performs a signature update attempt.
Spent the weekend working on Cyllex:
→ Interactive onboarding tour
→ AWS TTPs (57% MITRE coverage)
→ Linux TTPs (22% MITRE coverage)
→ Windows TTPs: ADCS & ShadowCreds
→ LDAP Enum TTPs with multiple maturity levels
→ Reporting improvements
→ Improved agent deployment with guided instructions
Next: 100% focused on TTP coverage

Spent some time porting DumpGuard to C as a BOF. Abuses Remote Credential Guard to pull NTLMv1 hashes without going near LSASS or needing admin.
Shoutout to @bytewreck for the original research.
