previously there was a pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability in some software and applications now if you aren't familiar that basically means this is point and shoot hacking all you need is the IP address or the website URL and you can compromise the server and the computer in the back end now I thought this might be a worthwhile showcase for some offense and defense so in this video I'd like to Showcase and demo how we can exploit this and how we might be able to detect it putting our both attacker and Defender hat on and I'll be straight up here this is healthc care software it's used in the healthcare industry for medicine and hospitals and all it is Mir connect you might have heard of it you might have not but it got some time in the cyber security and information sec…
