Over the last few years we have seen how electric vehicles have experienced a boom in terms of their development and retail and, along with them, the deployment of their charging points. In this article we will discuss a series of requirements, in terms of security, that should be implemented in these charging stations in order to ensure their security.

Electric charging stations are increasingly used in urban furniture in cities. Electric cars and their need to be charged are a reality. Because of this, there is an increase in supply points that depend on specific protocols and communications for these stations.

Over the years, the automotive sector has been growing and evolving technologically. During this time, different deficiencies or vulnerabilities in smart cars have been discovered. For this reason, one of the key issues for this new type of vehicle is protection against possible threats.

A BusyBox is software or a program that combines several functionalities in a small executable. This small tool was created for use in integrated operating systems with very limited resources, and they are usually used in control systems. But, as in all tools, you have to know what security level they have and if it can be improved.

The open and most-widely-used framework for communication and vulnerability scoring, the CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System), has been updated, incorporating improvements in its new version 3.1 with respect to the previous one. This standard assesses the severity of computer systems vulnerabilities and assigns them a score of 0 to 10.

Security breaches that put our privacy at risk, leaks of our data, passwords... are incidents that happen more and more often. Protecting ourselves from these information leaks is often beyond our reach, but this does not mean that we should not try to take measures to protect our data. DNS-over-TLS can be very helpful in encrypting our communications, making them much more secure.

Over recent years we have witnessed how industrial controls systems are not exempt from being targeted for cyberattacks. In this article we look back at threats detected in recent years to see how we can defend ourselves against them.

The concept of defence in industrial environments is changing. Just as the attacks are increasingly more sophisticated, the protection systems tend to be more flexible and more evolved. Being able to strengthen the upper levels, such as active defence and intelligence, is essential, whilst always maintaining a solid base of the lower levels (passive defence and secure architecture).

Given that availability is always a critical point to take into account for within industrial environments, it is necessary to prevent the attacks that denial of services cause and that affect these environments. The means of giving way to a denial of service can be diverse, much like the means of mitigating these problems. This article will review all of these points, as well as the way in which the risks derived from these attacks can be reduced.

The wireless protocols used in industrial environments for communication between devices are numerous are extensive, therefore ensuring these communications is vital for industrial process to function correctly. In this article, we'll look at the advantages of wireless communication audits and the disadvantages of not performing them.

Not only is the interpretation of network traffic crucial to analyse the safety and performance of a network structure, but also for other tasks, such as incident management, the optimisation of our network infrastructure or for didactic purposes. In order to do so, it is necessary to have dissectors that help separate each of the fields that make up a protocol, and allow them to be individually analysed.

It is increasingly common to find malware related to cryptocurrencies, either to use them as payment currency in extortions and illegal activities, cryptocurrency theft or infiltrate on systems and equipment from all areas to take advantage of the resources of the victims' equipment to undermine cryptocurrency
