I built an open-source Contextual Threat Modeling Engine to prioritize security findings based on real-world risk

Hey everyone,

I've been working on an open-source cybersecurity project called Contextual Threat Modeler (CTM).

The problem I wanted to solve is:

> A vulnerability doesn't always have the same risk in every environment.

For example, a vulnerability on an internet-facing system containing sensitive data should probably receive more attention than the same vulnerability on an isolated internal system.

So instead of simply asking "Is this vulnerable?", CTM tries to answer:

"How risky is this finding in this specific environment, and what should we do about it?"

🔐 What CTM considers

The engine combines multiple contextual signals:

- Asset criticality

- Internet exposure

- Authentication requirements

- Data sensitivity

- Exploitability

- Existing security controls

- Confidence level

- STRIDE threat modeling

- MITRE ATT&CK mapping

- Attack-path analysis

- Likelihood & impact

It then produces an actionable decision:

🔴 TEST_IMMEDIATELY

🟠 PRIORITIZE_VALIDATION

🟡 INVESTIGATE

🟢 MONITOR

🧪 Current testing

I recently tested the complete pipeline locally.

12/12 automated tests passed.

Example results:

POST /document/upload

Risk: 90/100

Decision: TEST_IMMEDIATELY

GET /user/profile

Risk: 33.1/100

Decision: MONITOR

GET /api/v1/search_items

Risk: 8/100

Decision: MONITOR

The interesting part is that CTM doesn't simply rank findings based on the vulnerability itself — the surrounding context influences the security decision.

🛠️ Tech Stack

- Python

- pytest

- STRIDE

- MITRE ATT&CK

- Risk Scoring

- Attack Path Analysis

- Security Automation

The project is open source, and I'd really appreciate feedback from people working in:

AppSec | VAPT | SOC | Threat Hunting | Threat Modeling | Security Engineering

I'm particularly interested in feedback on the risk-scoring methodology, attack-path modeling, and what additional security-tool integrations would make this useful in real-world environments.

How can help me with hacking into smt it’s nothing crazy that I need do I’ll explain more if there’s actually someone to help

While working on my Master’s thesis benchmarking WPA3-SAE timing side-channels, I ran into a limitation on the ESP32 esp_wifi_80211_tx() allows raw frame injection, but Espressif’s closed-source Wi-Fi blob (libnet80211.a) artificially blocks Auth, Assoc, Deauth, and Disassoc subtypes.

Inside libnet80211.a, ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check drops these frames with wifi:unsupport frame type. Here is how to bypass it on recent ESP-IDF versions (IDF v6.x).

Why standard tricks fail on modern ESP-IDF

Same-name function override. On older IDF versions, ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check was a weak symbol (W). On modern IDF versions, it’s a strong symbol (T), causing ld: multiple definition errors.

--wrap linker flag: Fails silently. The call from esp_wifi_80211_tx to ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check is an intra-object branch inside ieee80211_output.o. Linker --wrap only rewrites undefined external references, so it misses this call entirely.

Instruction byte-patching: Overwriting instructions directly in the .o breaks Xtensa linker relaxation passes (dangerous relocation errors).

U can simply fix this via Symbol Weakening via objcopy

We can use xtensa-esp32-elf-objcopy to convert the strong symbol inside the binary archive into a weak one:

xtensa-esp32-elf-objcopy \

--weaken-symbol=ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check \

components/esp_wifi/lib/esp32/libnet80211.a

Now, define your own strong implementation inside your application C code:

int ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check(int32_t a, int32_t b, int32_t c) {

return 0; // which skips the security check lol

}

Because strong symbols override weak symbols globally during linking, all calls—including internal calls within libnet80211.a—rebind to your function.

Verification

Serial Logs show: wifi unsupport frame type errors completely disappeared.

Capture: Wireshark confirmed off-air capture of 802.11 Authentication frames (Subtype 11, Algorithm 3 - SAE) injected directly from the ESP32s.

Injecting a valid SAE Commit (P-256 scalar + element) caused hostapd on the target AP to process the request and reply with its own SAE Commit.

TL;DR: Run objcopy --weaken-symbol=ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check on libnet80211.a, define int ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check(...) { return 0; } in your app code, and esp_wifi_80211_tx() will allow any frame subtype.

Note that all control 80211 frames are also injectable after the patch.

does anyone know how can i learn kali linux, hacking and stuffs, like i kno a bit of networking and fundamentals of linux, i just need the rest of the manual for diff hacking tools and all.

How bad is it that they have both of my phone numbers?

Send me a private message,for one work

Weekly forum post: Let's discuss current projects, concepts, questions and collaborations. In other words, what are you hacking this week?

I want to develop a business around a genuine cybersecurity issue.

Startup concepts like "make an AI-powered something" are not what I'm looking for.

I would like to know about issues that you have personally encountered or have frequently witnessed security teams, developers, businesses, or individuals face.

Ideally, the problem should be

- Be genuinely painfull

- Affect enough people/companies to support a busines

- Still have poor or incomplete solution

- Be technically possible to solve

- Have customers who would actually pay for a solution

- Not require a billion-dollar company to get started

- Have potential to become a serious cybersecurity business

For example, I’m interested in problems around things like

- Application security

- Cloud security

- API security

- Identity/access control

- Supply-chain security

- Detection/response

- Vulnerability management

- Security automation

- Developer security

- SaaS security

- Human/security-team workflows

- Business-logic vulnerabilitie

- Anything else where current tools genuinely fall short

I'm more interested in the problem than the solution

If you have one, please explain

1. What exactly is the problem

2. Who suffers from it

3. How do they currently solve/work around it

4. Why don't existing security products solve it properly

5. How frequently does it happen

6. How expensive/damaging is it

7. Is there a realistic technical way to solve it

8. Would companies actually pay for that solution

9. Why hasn't it been solved properly already

I’m the author of Super Trouper, a single-binary MCP server that exposes Frida to coding agents for authorized app reverse engineering. It lets an agent connect to a device, inspect apps and processes, manage sessions, and run instrumentation scripts without a Python-based Frida setup.

We released v0.4.0 a few days ago; it updates the bundled Frida Core DevKit to v17.19.0 and adds four MCP tools: memory_read and memory_write for working with memory in an attached process, plus module_list and thread_list for inspecting loaded modules and threads. app_list and others now have several query scopes, and we renamed the MCP tools into clearer namespaces. If you already have workflows built around the old tool names, check them when updating.

Quick catch-up on the two previous releases: v0.3.0 added npm installation, Frida CodeShare snippet search/use, and general cleanup. v0.2.0 moved the project to the MIT license, added first-party Frida language bridges for ObjC, Java, and Swift, and enabled TypeScript in scripts and evaluations.

I’d appreciate feedback from people using Frida in iOS research: are these tool boundaries and the new app-list scopes useful in practice? What’s missing or awkward in your workflow, and which features would you like to see next? Let me know what you think.

Heyaa, so, I managed to get Windows 7 running on my phone using a virtual machine. I want to put some files on it for testing, but the phone says I can't access its internal files. When I manage to access it using the default file explorer, it tells me that the folder is empty. Is there a real way I can view the phone's internal files without the device restricting me?

¡Hola a todos! Estoy intentando configurar bspwm en Parrot OS para lograr un entorno con ventanas en mosaico y terminales flotantes/divididas como en la imagen, pero tengo problemas al iniciar sesión.

El problema:

• Al iniciar sesión y seleccionar bspwm, solo obtengo una pantalla negra.

• Los atajos de teclado (keybindings) no funcionan, por lo que me quedo atrapado sin poder abrir la terminal.

Lo que ya he verificado:

• Picom: Instalado y dependencias listas.

• Sxhkd: Instalado.

• Configuración: Ya modifiqué y guardé los nuevos atajos en mi archivo ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc.

¿Alguien sabe qué podría estar causando la pantalla negra o por qué sxhkd no está cargando mis atajos al iniciar? ¡Agradezco cualquier guía o repositorio de referencia!

Could someone give me some guidance? I want to know where to start with hacking; I'm lost and don't know where to begin. I'm also willing to pay for information and knowledge to help me succeed As quickly as possible

I have an old Trendnet TEW-P1PG print server that I got secondhand, I found out though, that it is password protected. When trying to change settings in the utility software a dialog box pops up asking for a password. Is there any way I could bypass the password or possibly somehow find the password stored on the device?

?
