Do you remember the BeEF (Browser Exploitation Framework)? I dabbled with this software project about nine years ago. It was quite fun, but I never thought it would have applications beyond security testing.

Recently, I discovered that it is actively in use.

A threat actor known as Boolka has been using BeEF to deploy the BMANAGER malware. The Hacker News has more details on this.

What I assumed was a dead project is actually a continually developed and actively used exploitation framework. I might revisit it to see what has changed over the past nine years.
