Apache Tomcat is a widely used open-source web server and servlet container, but like any software, it is not immune to vulnerabilities. Canonical has released security updates to address multiple Tomcat vulnerabilities across different releases, including Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 ESM, and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. These vulnerabilities, if exploited could lead […]

I recently wrote about reliable software. I also usually write about cybersecurity and major incidents. Today’s story intertwines both, in a situation so far reaching that, if you tried to write it as the script of the next Bond movie with a villain scheming to cause worldwide chaos, it would fit perfectly. Let’s look at […]

It's 2009 and I just stumbled upon the extremely sophisticated Xedant Human Emulator (XHE) (hxxp://humanemulator.info) which basically automates human interactions with Web and online properties to the point of sophisticated and was in a way heavily advertised on various cybercrime-friendly forum communities back in the day.

Primary project's contact points:

[email protected]

ICQ:  420-444-071

WebMoney: Z898663059839

Some of its features include:

submission of information to the web - for example: registration in various directories and sites, adding posts to the forum, etc.

site audit (validity check);

collecting data from other sites;

emulation of traffic to the site;

automation of Internet surfing tasks;

checking website content updates;

website performance testing;

autologin, auto-posting on several forums;

management of advertising companies in Google Adwords;

cheating counters, auto clicking;

transferring a website/blog from one engine to another;

integration of offline and online applications;

working with AJAX or closed areas of sites;

complete human emulation, down to mouse movement and keystrokes;

Sample screenshots:

If it's everything that you ever wanted in the context of emulating a human or human actions targeting a specific Web site or web property including all the joys of outsourced as always CAPTCHA recognition in a cost-effective manner this is the tool that you really need in 2009.

Кой е човека който дава определение на това какво е циганин? Ако си циганин да ти еба майката путката мръсна и да не си измисля работи от на майка ти путката мръсна мизерстващи цигани такива. Специален поздрав от отдел "Ахахахаха не се притеснявайте много ама това е обида". Настройване на честотите на тези, които наистина са го направили, тези, които наистина го правят, и на тези, които наистина мислят, че го правят. Циганските крале, които ги разрешават, са тези, които наистина го правят. Хуят който разрешава майка ти е хуят който майка ти позволява на цигански циганин като теб псевдо-европейско мизерстващ циганин такъв. И циганите да "прередиш" майка ти циганската няма да я прецениш. Ти си просто един тъп ниско платен необразован безсперспективен безсмислен необразован и ниско платен циганин на който нито майка му нито безспеспективното му образование е признато някъде другаде освен в тоалетната. В тоалетната с огледало където когато сереш гледаш себе си и си мислиш дори и без да мислиш защото си тъп за лайното което си. А то е? Безсмислено като "теб". Неудачно и безсперспектовно унужаващо лайно за обществото което си. Едно лайно. Да направим състезание. Купете си огледало и се изсерете пред него. Сега погледнете себе си. Това сте вие. Сега да направим друго. Пред майчиното изсиране на майка ти нечистоплътната и мизерстваща гъзообразия и на майка ти мизерстващите простотий това си ти. Един мизерстващ мозъчно некадърен лайнясал неудачен мизерстващ циганин. На майка ти мизерстващата цицеща педерастия е на майка ти живота и нейната педерастия. Значи? Поздрави на теб. Нейния неудачен необразован ниско платен и безспеспективен наудачен цигански нещастник който те наричат по име? Какво ти е името? Ти си просто един тъп циганин в илюзията на майка ти циганската и в собствената си циганска илюзия. Поздрави на всички. Явор Колев е най-големия и издънен педераст в Република България начело с най големият педераст в Република България Бойко Борисов. Да ми целуване асматичните задница ама да ги изселвате много некадърни и безработни улични педерастки копелета такива и дано ви се изсерат през газъ и да ви излезе през носъ и да ви излезе през носъ провинциални селски копеленца цигански некадърдни копелета такъва.

As a brief refresher, there are four: Li-SaaS, the lowest of the low-security levels, is made for non-critical cloud applications that handle no tangible CUI. Low Impact, which can handle some CUI, but is largely focused solely on very basic and public information like the basic information […]
