Welcome back, my aspiring cyberwarriors! Creating password lists is a key element of a successful password cracking strategy. In nearly every case, we need to provide a list of potential passwords to the password cracking tool whether it be hashcat, John the Ripper, BurpSuite, cameradar or others (the exception being a true brute force attack […]

Welcome back, my aspiring cyberwarriors! Oftentimes, as cyberwarriors, we need to check to see whether our systems or others’ are vulnerable to various known vulnerabilities and attacks. Whether a penetration tester, security engineer or other malicious actors, such information can be critical to the success of your mission. There are number of other websites that […]

Welcome back, my cyber warriors! As the war in Ukraine rages on, it’s important to keep in mind that this war didn’t begin in February of this year, but rather it has been simmering for almost a decade. Ever since the people of Ukraine overthrew their despotic Russian puppet in 2014, the Russians have been […]

As hackers, we are often faced with the hurdle of cryptography and encryption. Every cyber security engineer worth their pocket protector understands that encryption make the hacker/attacker’s task much more difficult. In some cases it may be useful to the hacker, to hide actions and messages. Many applications and protocols use encryption to maintain confidentiality […]

Welcome back, my cyber warriors! Round 1 of the Great Cyberwar of 2022 went to Ukraine and its allies from around the world. Among the many successful attacks were the brief takeover of Russia Today TV, the defacement of multiple websites, and probably most importantly, the massive DDoS of Russia’s Internet architecture. We successfully made […]

The Golden Fleece of hackers is to develop a zero-day exploit, an exploit that has not been seen by antivirus (AV) software or and intrusion detection system (IDS). A zero-day exploit is capable of skating right past these defenses as they do not contain a signature or another way of detecting them. Developing a zero-day […]

The Holy Grail of any hacker is to develop a zero-day exploit—an exploit that has never been seen by antivirus (AV) or intrusion detection systems (IDS) developers. In that way, the hacker can exploit systems with their newly discovered vulnerability without detection! To get a zero-day, you have at least two choices: (1) develop your […]

One key area on the minds of all hackers is how to evade security devices such as an intrusion detection system (IDS) or antivirus (AV) software. This is not an issue if you create your own zero-day exploit, or capture someone else’s zero-day. However, if you are using someone else’s exploit or payload, such as […]

I. Introduction This section of this course is designed to help you find and use exploits that will work against known vulnerabilities. As you already know, there is no “silver bullet” exploit that works against all systems, under all circumstances. Exploits are very specific. They work ONLY under very specific circumstances. In many cases, they […]

Last season Elliot and fsociety successfully took down Evil Corp! They have effectively destroyed over 70% of the world’s consumer and student debt! Free at last! Free at last! Of course, global financial markets crashed as well, but that’s another story. Although there were many elements that made the hack successful, such as Darlene […]
