Test Certificates in Production: KeyPlug’s WolfSSL Misconfiguration Leads to Infrastructure Exposure
Summary A critical security incident exposed KeyPlug malware infrastructure due to the improper use of wolfSSL test certificates in production. The 24-hour exposure revealed sophisticated attack tools linked to the RedGolf/APT41 threat group, demonstrating how poor certificate management can compromise even advanced threat actors’ operations. The Certificate Failure The compromised server was identified through its […]
Read MoreMore TagChimera Certificate Standards Compliance
In the evolving landscape of cryptographic security, supporting multiple signature algorithms within a single certificate has become increasingly important. These certificates are known as Chimera certificates, a moniker coined by the X9.146 banking standards team. They provide enhanced security, flexibility, and agility, especially for the transition to post-quantum cryptography. As well, wolfSSL also understands the […]

Read MoreMore TagThe definitive guide to Kernel vs. User Space Cryptography on Windows or Linux
We’re often asked if our cryptography library can be used in kernel, typically for use cases involving network or disk I/O. Indeed it can. Performing cryptographic operations inside the kernel has performance and security advantages, and is typically transparent to user mode applications and daemons. When is kernel mode cryptography the right solution, and what […]
