Yes, unless you sign an agreement beforehand, such as with a bug bounty program.

Otherwise, prison.

You're so right! 👍

Yes, I'm talking about in-scopes

I don’t like green eggs and ham

molten bobcat
#

Sigh

#

I have to

#

Always hold myself back

#

From taking response actions

#

Because what I consider a valid justification for a response action pisses people off to no end lmao

#

If only they were aware of their contract they signed that allows me to do this :/

#

But no, that's too much, that's expecting grown men and women to read and understand a few pieces of paper

#

How silly of me.

#

I love it when clients leave 6 phone numbers to contact in the event of an incident

molten bobcat
#

And then they don't answer any of them and actively hang up on me 🙂

mortal forge
#

make a script that calls each one in order repeatedly until somebody replies

molten bobcat
#

Okay cool, my immediate first thought is to isolate all Linux servers in your environment since no one wants to fuckin do any work

crimson elbow
molten bobcat
#

That'll grind everything to a fucking screeching halt and force people to talk to me 🙂

#

I swear, no one has time for anything until the car crashes and they're sent into the windshield without a seatbelt

crimson elbow
#

being so devoted to technology to an extent that you cant comprehend multiple papers

molten bobcat
#

No I'm just suggesting people are stupid

mortal forge
#

after detection comes containment

molten bobcat
#

Yep

#

They signed a contract that says I'm authorized to secure the environment if they're unavailable or unreachable

#

So then I slammed the Linux environment shut because they're morons who don't answer their phones on a work day

#

But alas I won't be doing that

#

Because they value keeping a clients business more than they value the security of the client

#

After all, a business generating revenue is more important than everything else 🙂

The path is already so dense that there's plenty that you can't keep track of. In addition to that, the exam will never go outside the course.

Prolabs and such can help you develop methodology, but they'll also expose you to outside content. You do not want to be following some rabbit hole in the middle of your exam lol

Nothing

#

It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done, but doing boxes, pro labs, etc can help you build methodologies. But they have helped me little to none in making it any “easier”

It’s still a lot

It’s still confusing, but it’s a lot of fun

One thing that can help is doing the final module, 'Attacking Enterprise Networks' blind, and writing a report on it as you go, so you get a real feeling of the exam.

The reason it worked so well is that an old sysadmin (who left the company years prior) had all kinds of scripts and such that ran under his old account, so they couldn't disable the account, because nobody even knew where the stuff was and it would kill the company. It made some calls to shares that no longer exist.

A bro gifted Grok a free NFT and used it to steal $174,000. 🙌🏻
Grok, the AI built by xAI, has a publicly labeled onchain wallet on Base. Anyone can see it on Basescan.
An attacker used Morse code to trick Grok via @bankrbot into translating a command that triggered a transfer of $200,000 worth of $DRB tokens to his private wallet before dumping the tokens and deactivating his account.
An attacker linked to the address ilhamrafli.base.eth spotted something. Grok's wallet had limited transfer capability on its own.
So the attacker gifted Grok's wallet a Bankr Club Membership NFT.
That gift was not generosity. It was a key.
The NFT unlocked Bankr's full toolset inside Grok's agent including the ability to sign and execute transfers autonomously.
Then the attacker sent Grok a crafted prompt. The exact message was deleted before anyone could screenshot it.

I don't know how true this is, I saw it on a post somewhere

I hated security so now I'm a sysadmin

#

But I still have to deal with it

#

Besides reverse engineering I try not to touch it

molten bobcat
#

I'm a security analyst and I plan on doing it for the rest of my life

#

It's been almost 3 years now

#

tryhackme has virtual machines you can fire up directly from their site

molten bobcat
#

Ahh

crude island
#

@kind bramble what field are you aiming for in cyber?

molten bobcat
#

So HTBs is called pwnbox, it's an online version of Kali and it costs money to use

#

Which is why I was gonna recommend you pick up a hypervisor and run the VMs yourself, they're fairly lightweight

crimson smelt
#

online version of parrot os *

#

i mean lets be real though both are debian

molten bobcat
#

I definitely

#

Typed Kali

#

And meant to type parrot

#

Lmao

#

Been a long day

crimson smelt
#

traitor

molten bobcat
#

I'm just sleepy!!

crimson smelt
#

parrot is suitable as a daily driver just stay away from that kali

kind bramble
crimson smelt
#

😛

molten bobcat
#

I don't recommend daily driving anything pentest related

#

I use them as screwdrivers when I need them

crude island
#

@molten bobcat what do you recommend as a daily?

molten bobcat
#

Whatever is stable and fits your preference

#

There's lots of flavors of Linux that are made to be daily desktops

crimson smelt
#

you can use Rufus to create a bootable parrot os/pwnbox linux stick and just pop that bad boy in and if anything goes wrong just restart

kind bramble
crude island
molten bobcat
crimson smelt
#

running on usb stick is so much better performance tho

kind bramble
crimson smelt
#

im kidding about kali, you can use it if you want it's also debian just like parrot os

molten bobcat
#

Some people are brand loyalists lol

crimson smelt
#

just different repos, mostly the same but parrot os is maintained by the developers here at HTB

Yeah. There was a cyberattack on a nuclear power plant in India once and the attacker got domain admin, iirc. They could've chose to blow up a reactor if they had wanted to.

I work in the energy sector and it’s scary how little the businesses actually care

And in other places too, like France

although that wasnt a nuclear plant

@ornate ibex chatting and learning

I guess you could say "due to lack of proper sanitization, the attacker is able to inject arbitrary elements and scripts into the page"

I would say that in an interview but I would also spend a whole 60 seconds coming up with that definition
