Hack to Spy: Building a Raspberry Pi Spy, Part 2

December 31, 2023December 31, 2023Occupy The Web

Welcome back, my rookie hackers! In this series, we are building a Raspberry Pi that we can use to spy. In part 1, we set the operating system, installed the camera and then established a SSH connection to Spy Pi. Here, we will configure and test the camera so that can then use to spy […]

AutoSploit: The Powerful Marriage of Shodan and Metasploit!

December 31, 2023December 31, 2023Occupy The Web

Welcome back my rookie hackers! Every so often, I run across a new hacking tool that really gets me excited. Autosploit is one of those! Autosploit combines the power of two of my favorite tools, Shodan and Metasploit! AutoSploit uses Shodan to find specific targets based upon their banners and then Metasploit to automate the use […]

nmap for Recon and DoS

December 29, 2023December 29, 2023Occupy The Web

Welcome back, my nascent Hackers! In previous articles , we looked at a passive way to gather information necessary for a hack. The advantage of using passive recon is that it’s totally undetectable, meaning that the target never knows you’re scouting them and you leave no tracks. The disadvantage, of course, is that it’s limited […]

Abusing DNS for Reconnaissance

December 28, 2023January 5, 2024Occupy The Web

Welcome back, my tenderfoot hackers! As you know, DNS, or Domain Name Service, is critical to the operation of the Internet. It provides us with the ability to type in domain names such as www.hackers-arise.com rather than the IP address. This simple service saves us from having to memorize thousands of our favorite website IP […]

How to Record Anyone’s Conversation

December 27, 2023September 26, 2024Occupy The Web

Now that nearly everyone and everyplace has a computer, you can use those remote computers for some good old “cloak and dagger” spying.

Welcome back, my aspiring cyber warriors! At the beginning of the cyberwar between Russia and Ukraine, Hackers-Arise, the IT Army of Ukraine and over 17,000 hackers around the world (this is the Russian estimate. we believe it is much higher) set out to make Russia’s digital assets unavailable. In this way, the Russians would not […]

Command & Control Series Part III (Installing your Redirector)

December 15, 2023January 5, 2024Occupy The Web

In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity operations, the use of Command and Control (C2) servers stands as a critical component for orchestrating coordinated tasks across compromised systems. However, directly interacting with a C2 can often leave an operator exposed to detection and countermeasures. This is where the strategic implementation of a redirector plays a pivotal […]

The Return of the Devastating DDoS Attacks or The Revenge of the IoT

December 15, 2023January 30, 2024Occupy The Web

Welcome back, my aspiring cyberwarriors! As you well know, the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one of simplest attacks. It is simply brute-force packet jamming a network to render it useless or nearly useless. When its done with just a few nodes it can be easily thwarted by a number techniques such as […]
