WPScan is being used across the WordPress ecosystem to identify vulnerabilities in WordPress core, themes, and plugins. Besides creating an outstanding security offering, Jetpack's goal for this acquisition is to make malware data and APIs more open source. As part of the acquisition, two of the WPScan founders, Ryan Dewhurst and Erwan Le Rousseau, will be joining Automattic to continue their work improving security for the WordPress ecosystem. WPScan will continue to operate independently in the near term and may be integrated into Jetpack Scan in the future. There has been a lot of news around core updates on make.wordpress.org. There is a core editor improvement with a new view that lets folks have a space to focus specifically on editing a single template part (like the header or footer). You will be able to access this mode in a few ways once Gutenberg 11.9 is released. If all goes well, then in WordPress 5.9. Around the FSE program (Full Site Editing that is) the team went into round three of questioning that was gathered through the FSE outreach program. There were many questions around themes, the customizer and fonts. Keep your eyes open for a round four. Paul Lacey recently spoke with Vikas Singhal of Express Tech & InstaWP on the WPMinute about his company’s upcoming FSE (Full Site Editing) Theme Launch. It was interesting to see a practical implementation of FSE design. The theme is called Guten and launches in December. You can check this out on the WPMinute to get a review of the FSE Theme implementation and design. Spencer Forman also at the WPMinute spends time talking about how many more theme years are we going to see? Are we ready for a default theme that flexes Gutenberg's block-based approach over a designed theme like Twenty Twenty? Go listen to Spencer's take on the release of styled themes with major WordPress releases. Justin Tadlock, at the WPTavern, wrote a great blog post on the third-party plugin WooCommerce and asked the question Where are the Block Themes for WooCommerce? WooCommerce is a third-party plugin and is unrelated to the core WordPress and Gutenberg projects. But as we know, WooCommerce is owned by Automattic. So, one can assume that there is some crossover among developers. For a deeper look at what is ahead, read Peek into the WooCommerce Blocks Roadmap, which is developer-specific. You may come to the realization that the size and scope of WooCommerce Block integration is not simple and far off for FSE. SEO Google

Ryan Dewhurst is an ethical hacker and penetration tester who has developed a number of tools that make finding vulnerabilities in WordPress much easier. Penetration testers are professional ethical hackers that find vulnerabilities so they can be patched before they are exploited. Ryan is one of three contributors to WPScan, a command line tool that streamlines this pen testing. Ryan also maintains the WPScan Vulnerability Database, used by many services including Wordfence to alert WordPress users to the vulnerabilities on their site. Ryan and Mark talk about these services, how they work, how they're used and how you can use them to hack your own site to test your own site's security.

Before Jens 'Atom' Steube wrote hashcat, he was a bug hunter for fun, focusing on open source software. After 2005 he only did bug hunting on commercial software and therefore not allowed to disclose product names. In 2010 he started hashcat and since that time it's the only project he's been working on.

ScriptAlert1.com is a very simple and concise platform to explain Cross-Site Scripting, it's dangers and mitigation. Our aim is for penetration testers to include a link in their pen test reports to the resource and to get it to be the de facto description for semi-technical/tech savvy managers.
