Uhhhhm, really depends on what you want to do, but a large RAID vault for backing up shit would be my first port of call if you don't have a NAS or something already

Honeypots are fun..

[raven rain]

i don't have the money to afford a RAID setup..

[eternal mango]

If you do software, the only cost is the disks

[raven rain]

best i can do is two 4 tb drives

this is alot

is it worth to set up wazuh

[eternal mango]

Suppose technically you could have the VM image etc held under the raid partition the controller itself is managing lol

But that sounds messy

[raven rain]

yea..

[eternal mango]

The con troller would need to be running to access the VM etc so yeah, stupid

I'm sure it's possible though if you create physical partitions for the controller to manage

at some point i want to get some 10 inch wide NAS and set up RAID on it

[remote bolt]

Unless you backed up the base image, and had snapshots backed up to the RAID every so often or something

The UGreen NAS are pretty nice for an easy to setup solution, but not the cheapest (£299 for a two bay)

[supple plume]

[eternal mango]

You could achieve the same with some cheap NUC and some USB3 drive bays

[remote bolt]

i give u 10dollars if u tell me how

[raven rain]

i did not think of USB drive bays

USB3 is still 5gbs, if possible you could get one with Thunderbolt for speed

[high cobalt]

Imo a second drive would be better suited as a proper backup instead of a RAID array. As far as I know USB drives aren't recommended to be used in an array because they could randomly disconnect and kinda defeat the redundancy purpose. And the redundancy probably doesn't really matter anyway in such a homelab setup (except if it is just for the sake of learning the concept)

Well, I only have one question for you. What is a woman?

its okay hes been studying cybersecurity for 7 years and is the top 5% of the industry

[prime heron]

he was struggling on this:

Cap provided a chance to exploit two simple yet interesting capabilities. First, there’s a website with an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability, where the site will collect a PCAP for me, but I can also access other user’s PCAPs, to include one from the user of the box with their FTP credentials, which also provides SSH access as that user. With a shell, I’ll find that in order for the site to collect pcaps, it needs some privileges, which are provided via Linux capabilities, including one that I’ll abuse to get a shell as root.

im dead bro lmaoo

[jagged storm]

Bro said it was insulting to suggest he do academy instead of boxes even though he was struggling on starting point while using a writeup

[obtuse fern]

no shot

[high cobalt]

It's Debian repo ist also called "kali-rolling" lmao ...

[rancid snow]

what part was he struggling with lol? that sounds like a near step by step guide

[prime heron]

the whole box

with no writeup most people can prob do that box in maybe 30 mins

if you are 7 years deep in cyber sec that like 5 - 10 mins

[obtuse fern]

I do get that SOME of the boxes are so old that you just breathe in their direction they break, or you gotta summon greg from IT to install an old version of a tool that works

I think that the starting-point boxes could use a bit of a tuneup (not like a full update, but bring them more in-line with modern tools)

[sharp shuttle]

oh last night?

[turbid goblet]

i only cried twice on starting point

[sharp shuttle]

yeah he had the ssh priv key and didnt know to use it for privesc

I aint gunna fault anyone whos struggling on a box but you do have to be humble about it if you are

[sharp shuttle]

are you kidding

[prime heron]

ive taught friends who have cried many times on starting point

[proper dragon]

no

[sharp shuttle]

jesus christo

[obtuse fern]

i mean, that's classic syntax

but lots of people use that tool instead of impacket's smbclient

they prefer the other one

linpeas should say like more probable

it didnt say anything about it

wait is my linpeas out of date or someshit

Linpeas is more likely to give you false positives than actual issues

linpeas is good but itpl throw out a bunch of extra shit because its a maybe and itll look just as important as the actual super obvious path forward

[quaint sun]

I was using linpeas today and, it's probably skill issue on my part, but none of the "95% PE" flags seemed useful

[rancid snow]

if im running linpeas its because Im really struggling and scrolling is a good passtime to think about the issue but never actually gets me the answer itself

Sucks they think that it's your fault if they dragged their heels..

[rancid snow]

if it makes you feel better privesc in the real world is usually either 1. completely unnecessary or 2. completely trivial

I think one of the biggest mistakes in HTB box guidelines is requiring a priv esc path to root

we get hounded over cost for 6 months log retention, and then have an incident that goes back 2 years, and it takes forever to pull anything out fo cold storage (and costs)

REAL

[tight path]

dont forget to log your logs

otherwise how will you know you're logging

[rancid snow]

remember that the NSA team lead of Tailored Access Operations held a talk about nation state actors and admitted that the number 1 thing they hate to deal with is an org that is actively printing their logs because it means they have to send an agent in person if they want to cover tracks and thats riskier

[high cobalt]

I wish the university I work for had money to keep logs for longer than 14 days 🫠

oh interesting, I can no longer find that talk on YouTube 🙂

the funniest part for me about logging was how sysadmins found operational use cases to better monitor their network with splunk than the NMS they paid for, finding stuff that was effectively invisible otherwise

link flaps happening too fast for snmp traps to capture? good thing syslog sends it every time it happens

[tight path]

there isnt really a "best" one, everyone has different opinions of their preference and use cases

[eternal mango]

Broadcom definitely gave me an unhealthy relationship with salt

not to mention the fuckery of putting their software behind an account creation requirement for free software, the price model proposal was insanity lol

VSpere is so good, its the only software I know where localizing into another language does totally mess up numbers 💀 A folder with 5 VMs using 100GB disk space each? That's definitely 20TB used disk space, isn't it?

[eternal mango]

Had a device I did some work on a while ago.. the root password was the chipset manufacturer

Thing is, they had already changed the root password a couple of years back after they included it in the Android app to support upgrading older firmware models

So they messed up twice

Systemic issues with hardware vendors, then they act shocked when we report on it 🤣

[eternal mango]

(amongst the rest of the issues found like.. being able to flash a device with a backdoor from a webpage..)

This was a smart telescope. They totally updated the API without documenting it, which broke a load of community run projects

[tight path]

Lol

[eternal mango]

They say they have an "open initiative" to publish the new API docs at some point.. we'll see

[tight path]

They always get pissy when you list a finding as "undocumented"

They know its there

[eternal mango]

They had an nginx config that let you just traverse to read any file on the device due to a weak alias definition (they've fixed that one)

They just dont want anyone else too

I think the best part about that one is that the script is unedited from the Shakespeare which is the best way to adapt it

[prime heron]

pretty sure the only new thing that was added to how machines run is that everyone regardless of their sub gets their own machine

[glad mauve]

with RA, those were really fast, and stayed up

[prime heron]

before everything was pre spawned

[glad mauve]

ah. i never knew that part

[prime heron]

yea

RA boxes spawn a bit before the box comes out

and stay up until all players leave the box probably

[glad mauve]

ugh. ok. i think the web app just never got the message the machine was spawned. I refreshed the page and it was ready.

I imagine a lot of revenue is driven by those entry level people with no technical or professional experience so it makes sense from a business perspective to cater to them

ok I take it back on the long line thing, that makes sense for the reasons they listed. Why change the actual UI though? It just does not make sense, the reasons they outlined don't explain the massive changes

these people are up to something, probably someones cousin is a webdev that had a great idea and needed work, or they needed to generate some sort of KPI and came up with a UI overhaul to make it "modern"

prolly some damn manager trying to keep his worthless job

:|

[iron galleon]

lmfao

someones cousin is a webdev

thats funny as shit

[lilac portal]

sadly things are bound to change man, I used to hate steam's UI as well
