In the world of web traffic, there’s a simple rule: if it looks like a regular user, walks like a user, and even brings its favorite cookies along—it doesn't always mean there’s a human on the other side.

Building a Multi-Mode Valve Test Rig: Software Architecture for Hydraulic and Pneumatic Test Programmes

A general-purpose valve test rig serving multiple valve types needs a test programme abstraction layer that separates the test logic from the specific hardware interfaces. Here's an architecture pattern for that. At the core of the design is a shared test programme interface that every test type must implement. This base interface defines two required behaviours: a method that runs the actual test sequence against the hardware, and a method that interprets the resulting data against specification limits to determine a pass or fail outcome. Keeping these two responsibilities separate, rather th

HackTheBox: FireFlow Writeup

Executive Summary FireFlow is a Linux machine running a fictional "Task Force Nightfall" intelligence platform. The web application exposes a Langflow instance (flow.fireflow.htb) with a public flow playground. The flow engine version (1.8.2) is vulnerable to CVE-2026-33017 - an unauthenticated RCE via the /api/v1/build_public_tmp/{flow_id}/flow endpoint, which executes attacker-supplied Python without sandboxing. This gives us a shell as www-data. Environment variable enumeration leaks the Langflow superuser password, which is reused by the nightfall local user (user flag).
