IPinfo research on masked IP trends: VPN, proxy and Tor usage across IPv4 and IPv6, with takeaways for allowlisting, denylisting and shrinking cloud attack surface against hidden malicious actors.

Asks whether DNS cache poisoning still matters: explains how the classic attack works, why confirmed major incidents have all but vanished, and where the technique remains exploitable.

Guide to Nmap alternatives across web and CLI: fast mass scanners Masscan and ZMap, vulnerability audits with OpenVAS, and browser-based services like Nmap.online and ZoomEye—plus where the terminal still wins.

Quarkslab gives a technical overview of security in ITU-T PON specs (GPON, XG-PON, XGS-PON, NG-PON2, 50G-PON), covering authentication, key derivation, and encryption of the shared fiber signal.

Bugcrowd on attacker economics: nation-states use vendors, MSPs and identity platforms as stepping stones, so defense should prioritize targetability over CVE counts and adopt behavior-led detection.
