What happened
Collection of SANS ISC diary entries (late June 2026) covering: automation for favicon.ico-based host reconnaissance; YARA-X 1.18.0 and 1.19.0 releases (feature/bugfix updates); Linux process name masquerading techniques (MITRE ATT&CK T1036) and malware obfuscation; continued prevalence of webshells; and commentary on CVE-2024-40766 where a vendor patch fixed the bug but a configuration issue remained. Several ISC Stormcast podcast entries are also listed.
