Hey CTFers, Boot2root Fans! Today, I'll be doing "Game of Thrones CTF" from VulnHub.
Hey there, here is my writeup for a frustrating and easy challenge at the same time during the 'Nuit Du Hack Qualification CTF of 2018'.
Hey everyone, welcome to my write-up of the fresh VulnHub's VM Box; it was really a nice one so I liked to share the solution with you Geeks! This machine was realistic and it actually have two nice parts from real Penetration Testing: Web Application Security (USER Process) mixed with Binary Exploitation (ROOT Process), let's jump into the GAME.
This vulnerable virtual machine details the exploitation of an SQL injection vulnerability in a PHP based website, it basically show how an attacker can use it to gain access to the administration page. Then, using this access, the attacker will be able to gain code execution on the box.
Texas A&M University CTF (TamuCTF) event was really one of the best CTFs, most of the challenges are realistic and I like that. In this writeup we will see the solution of the best challenge of this whole CTF contest. Honestly, it was like a PenTest challenge and not just a simple CTF one.
In this little article I'll be sharing the solution of the Mr.Robot v1 VulnHub's machine! It is really a cool machine. Based on the show, Mr. Robot. This VM has three keys hidden in different locations. Our goal is to find all three flags. Each flag is progressively difficult to find. The level is considered beginner-intermediate. Let's jump in 😀
Lot of people think that hacking and security is all about reading books and watching tutorials! But unfortunately that is completely wrong! Since, you are into a field related to IT you'll need to practice a lot. Practicing things you learn will develop your skills to the next level!
For that, there is bunch of resources on the net out there! Platforms, Environments and more to practice Hacking/Pen-Testing ethically and safely! My job in this article is to share with you a list of my preferred platforms and environments; Enjoy.
In computer networking, port knocking is a method of externally opening ports on a firewall by generating a connection attempt on a set of pre-specified closed ports. Once a correct sequence of connection attempts is received, firewall rules are dynamically modified to allow the host to connect over specific port.
Cyber Security is a high priority of companies & governments. Cyber Attacks & Breaches have been on the rise in the last years. By that Security Professionals have been through rigorous training as how HACKERS are able to get into companies & govs infrastructures and how to defend against them.
