A previously undisclosed Grayshift tool allows law enforcement agencies to capture an iPhone passcode when the owner uses it to unlock their phone. This is done by surreptitiously installing malware on the device before handing it back to the suspect. We knew Grayshift’s GrayKey box could brute-force iPhone passcodes, but we’re learning for the first time about this additional capability, which has seemingly been available for at least a year …...

Warning: SPOILERS for Captain Marvel — The post-credits scene for Captain Marvel almost included a visit to Thor: Ragnarok’s gladiator planet Sakaar. Marvel Studios’ twenty-first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is already proving to be a big hit at the box office, as audiences are flocking to the Brie Larson-led film. The non-traditional origin story is largely separated from the main MCU narrative thanks to it taking place in 1995, but Captain Marvel still found plenty of ways to connect itself to other films....

Carnage has always been one of Marvel’s most terrifying villains, but the comic book publisher is about to make his origin story a whole lot darker. Not only is Carnage a sociopath and murderer - now he’s a cannibal, too. Created by David Michelinie, Erik Larsen and Mark Bagley back in 1992, Carnage epitomizes superhero comics of the ’90s. He’s a ruthless monster, a serial killer bonded with an alien symbiote to produce Marvel’s most lethal murderer....

Way back in November, CBS Chief Executive Officer Les Moonves told investors on an earnings call: Fast forward to this weekend when the Hollywood Reporter caught up to Moonves at a FUCLA conference: Yeah, that is not much new, but the point is that CBS still is not going to be partnering with Apple any time soon. Moonves told a conference audience that he met with Jobs, the late Apple CEO, and heard a pitch for what was billed as a subscription content service, but ultimately he said he wasn’t interested in providing CBS shows or films to the venture....

In a lengthy post, Technobuffalo goes behind the scenes of the iPhone Verizon launch earlier this year. Supposedly, Verizon engineers had been working with it for six months – which put it at about the time that AT&T iPhone was released. Interestingly, Steve Jobs said at the Antennagate press conference, that Apple was testing both Verizon and AT&T towers on campus. Some notables from the story: And… A little bit like LOST?...

Together we will solve a Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge posted on the VulnHub website by author “iamv1nc3nt.” As per the description given by the author, this is the intermediate boot2root CTF. The name of the CTF is a hint, as are the details. The goal is to get root access to the machine and read the flag. You can read my previous articles for more CTF challenges. You should have some knowledge of Linux commands and have the ability to run some basic pentesting tools....

Captain Marvel’s Brie Larson casually opened up about wanting to be a Jedi, and Star Wars personally responded to her. Both existing under the Disney umbrella - though in two very different cinematic universes - both Captain Marvel and Star Wars: Episode IX are releasing this year, so some playful cross-promotion is to be expected. Both Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm are releasing breakthrough films in 2019. For Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel is a major game-changer, being the first female-led standalone film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Spoilers for X-Force #6 by Ben Percy, Joshua Cassara and Dustin Weaver below The X-Men’s Charles Xavier deliberately orchestrated his own death.

A new featurette for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword details star Charlie Hunnam’s intense work days on set. Up until this point, the marketing and trailers for director Guy Ritchie’s reboot have felt scattered and almost bizarre at points. Part of that is because of the unique combination that Ritchie is bringing to this new take on the story of King Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) and his sword, Excalibur, by mixing his typical, highly-edited style with sweeping action shots and CGI visuals, but part of that is also because of the film’s strange tonal balance....

If there’s one thing that the recent trailer for Captain America: Civil War made clear, it’s that Bucky Barnes, a.k.a. Winter Soldier, is going to have a central part in the movie. With Iron Man on one side trying to bring him in for the events of Captain America: Winter Soldier and his old friend Steve Rogers on the other side trying to defend him, the remainder of the MCU is forced to decide where their alliances lay....

The latest trailer for Captain Marvel showed us a lot of new things and some interesting confirmed characters for the next Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. As most people know, the movie will see Carol Danvers’ history with the Kree, her past life on Earth, why she was gone when Earth needed her the most, and what looks like a huge part of the Kree-Skrull War play out on the big screen for the first time....

Menus inspired by Captain Marvel are taking over dine-in movie theaters. The film hit the big screen this weekend and dishes based around Marvel’s newest hero are already cropping up. After 20 movies, the MCU finally has its first female-fronted solo film, as well the first to be co-directed by a woman.

Captain America is the father of Peggy Carter’s kids in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to Avengers: Endgame writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Throughout the 22-film story of the MCU, people like Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and directors Anthony and Joe Russo have received a lot of credit, and rightfully so. The Russos made their mark with a focus on Captain America, as they directed his final two solo films....

Captain Marvel seems to be becoming the MCU’s most divisive movie - and for no real reason at all. After 11 years, Marvel Studios is finally producing a solo film starring a female superhero. It’s essentially a prequel for the entire MCU, set in the 1990s and featuring Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg as a de-aged Nick Fury and Phil Coulson. What’s more, this is a crucial step on the journey to the hugely-anticipated Avengers: Endgame, with Captain Marvel expected to play a major part in the battle against Thanos....

[WARNING: Contains SPOILERS for Carnage #14.] - In the comic book world filled with twisted, symbolically-bonded super suits, it doesn’t get much nastier than Carnage. Over the years, Cletus Kasady’s merger with the scion of Venom hasn’t exactly been kind to the world – with the exception of his ‘heroic’ turn in the AXIS story arc. Let’s face it, a serial killer bonded genetically to a shapeshifting Klyntar super being never spells good things for anyone, certainly not the Marvel Universe....
