*Images are uploaded on a shared hosting server. This may be concerning even though there is a script that removes the pictures from server after regular intervals.

An EXIF stripper is a tool or utility used to remove EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) metadata from image files — most commonly from JPEGs, but also from TIFFs, PNGs, and some RAW formats.

✅ What EXIF Data Includes:

• Camera make and model

• Date and time photo was taken

• GPS location (if geotagging was on)

• Exposure settings (ISO, shutter speed, aperture)

• Software used to edit the image

---

🔒 Why Strip EXIF Data?

• Privacy (e.g., removing GPS location before sharing online)

• File size reduction (slightly smaller files)

• Anonymity (removes editing and device fingerprints)

• Clean presentation (for use on websites or portfolios)

2. Desktop Tools

• Windows:

  • Right-click image → Properties → Details → "Remove Properties and Personal Information"

• macOS:

  • Preview app → Export image → “Remove location info”

• Linux:

  • Use exiftool or mat2 (Metadata Anonymization Toolkit)

3. Command-Line Tools

• exiftool (cross-platform)

  exiftool -all= yourimage.jpg
  

• ImageMagick

  convert yourimage.jpg -strip clean.jpg
  

• mat2 (Linux-based)

Windows 11 BitLocker Encryption Bypassed To Extract Volume Encryption Keys

 Researchers have demonstrated a method to bypass Windows 11’s BitLocker encryption, enabling the extraction of Full Volume Encryption Keys (FVEKs) from memory.

This vulnerability underscores the risks associated with physical access attacks and highlights potential weaknesses in memory protection mechanisms.

The attack revolves around capturing the contents of a computer’s RAM during operation.

If an attacker has physical access to a device, they can abruptly restart it and dump the memory to extract sensitive information, including FVEKs.

This process leverages the fact that encryption keys are temporarily stored in memory while the system is running.

However, the technique is not foolproof. RAM contents degrade rapidly when power is cut off, making it crucial to minimize downtime.

To mitigate this degradation, researchers said that attackers could use methods such as physically cooling the RAM or maintaining power delivery using external sources.

In one demonstration, the attacker shorted the reset pins on the motherboard to restart the system without cutting power, preserving memory integrity... Read Full method

How to connect to an FTP server from Linux?

To connect to an FTP server from a Linux system, you can use either a command-line FTP client or a graphical one. Here’s how to do it using the most common command-line methods:

---

🔧 Using the Command-Line ftp Utility

1. Open a terminal.

2. Run the FTP command:

   bash
   ftp ftp.example.com

   Replace ftp.example.com with the domain or IP address of the FTP server.

3. Log in:

   • Enter the username when prompted.

   • Enter the password when prompted.

4. Use FTP commands (optional):

   • ls – list files

   • cd – change directory

   • get filename – download a file

   • put filename – upload a file

   • bye or exit – close the connection

---

🔐 Using sftp for Secure Connections

If the server supports SFTP (FTP over SSH), use:

bash
ftp user@ftp.example.com

• Replace user with your username.

• You’ll be prompted for your password.

Once connected, you can use similar commands: ls, cd, get, put, exit.

---

🧰 Using lftp for Advanced Features

Install lftp if not already installed:

bash
sudo apt install lftp   # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo yum install lftp   # CentOS/RHEL

Connect like this:

bash
ftp ftp://user@ftp.example.com

Then enter the password when prompted.

---

🖼️ Optional: Using a GUI Client

If you prefer a graphical tool:

• FileZilla (cross-platform)

• gFTP (Linux native)

Install FileZilla (on Ubuntu/Debian):

bash
sudo apt install filezilla

Then open it, enter your host, username, password, and port (usually 21 for FTP, 22 for SFTP)
