SCYTHE Announces $3 Million in Initial Financing Round Led by Gula Tech Adventures

Earlier today we announced that we raised $3 million in an initial funding round led by the co-founder of Tenable, Ron Gula of Gula Tech Adventures.
This investment will help accelerate our ability to deliver our attack simulation platform and drive new product development. We’ve planned a roadmap of new features and innovations that will disrupt the cybersecurity industry.
We’re providing organizations the ability to get ahead of threats with real metrics and tangible examples of attacks and compromises. SCYTHE is an attack simulation platform that allows organizations to build and emulate every possible combination of real-world adversarial campaign to test an organization’s security controls with granularity.


Our advanced capabilities offer enterprises the ability to set up, customize, and run adversarial campaigns in a matter of minutes to validate the risk posture and exposure of businesses and their employees and the performance of security teams and the solutions they use. The SCYTHE platform uses a Threat Catalog to automatically deploy a combination of threat actor communications and end-point capabilities with built-in TTPs on the production environment. It maps to the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix demonstrating the potential space of what an attack can look like and what an attacker can do inside a customer’s environment. Security teams receive detailed reporting and an automatically generated executive summary report with analytics of the campaign and recommendations for remediation.
This initial round is funded by investment firms Gula Tech Adventures, Evolution Equity, Paladin Capital, Stony Lonesome Group and SAAS Ventures. Additionally, a number of notable private investors participated in this round of funding including Dmitri Alperovitch of Crowdstrike, Ray Rothrock of RedSeal, Aleksandr Yamposkiy of SecurityScorecard, Mike Sutton, formerly with Zscaler, Dave Kennedy of TrustedSec, Matt Devost, Founder of FusionX, Oliver Friedrichs of Splunk, and Dave Cole of Tenable. Ron Gula and Dmitri Alperovitch will serve on the Board.

New Old Bugs in the Linux Kernel

  Introduction Dusting off a few new (old) vulns Have you ever been casually perusing the source code of the Linux kernel and thought to yourself "Wait a minute, that can’t be right"? That’s the position we found ourselves in when we found three bugs in a forgotten corner of the mainline Linux kernel that turned out to be about 15 years old. Unlike most things that we find gathering dust, these bugs turned out to still be good, and one turned out to be useable as a Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) in multiple Linux environments. Who you calling SCSI? The particular subsystem in question is the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) data transport, which is a standard for transferring data made for connecting computers with peripheral devices, originally via a physical cable, like hard drives. SCSI is a venerable standard originally published in 1986 and was the go-to for server setups, and iSCSI is basically SCSI over TCP. SCSI is still in use today, especially

Automated Struct Identification with Ghidra

At GRIMM, we do a lot of vulnerability and binary analysis research. As such, we often seek to automate some of the analysis steps and ease the burden on the individual researcher. One task which can be very mundane and time consuming for certain types of programs (C++, firmware, etc), is identifying structures' fields and applying the structure types to the corresponding functions within the decompiler. Thus, this summer we gave one of our interns,  Alex Lin , the task of developing a Ghidra plugin to automatically identify a binary's structs and mark up the decompilation accordingly. Alex's writeup below describes the results of the project, GEARSHIFT, which automates struct identification of function parameters by symbolically interpreting Ghidra's P-Code to determine how each parameter is accessed. The Ghidra plugin described in this blog can be found in our GEARSHIFT repository . Background Ghidra is a binary reverse engineering tool developed by the National Sec

SOHO Device Exploitation

Netgear R7000 SOHO Device Exploitation After a long day of hard research, it’s fun to relax, kick back, and do something easy. While modern software development processes have vastly improved the quality of commercial software as compared to 10-15 years ago, consumer network devices have largely been left behind. Thus, when it’s time for some quick fun and a nice confidence boost, I like to analyze Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) devices. This blog describes one such session of auditing the Netgear R7000 router , analyzing the resulting vulnerability, and the exploit development process that followed. The write-up and code for the vulnerability described in this blog post can be found in our NotQuite0DayFriday repository. Initial Analysis The first step when analyzing a SOHO device is to obtain the firmware. Thankfully, Netgear’s support website hosts all of the firmwares for the R7000. The Netgear R7000 version 1.0.9.88 firmware used in this blog post can be downloaded from this web
