Hey guys - I'm working on what might be my FIRST ever bug bounty discovery and I could use some input/ideas:

I found a page builder in WordPress is re-using nonce values for it's stock-forms. I was able to verify that if you have the cookie associated with password-protected page you can bypass the authorization altogether (replay attack). For a bug bounty, is that enough? Everything I've read on bounty programs is to look for ways to escalate. Based on the behaviors I'm seeing, it looks like the form isn't doing any kind of parameter checking on the server as I'm able to send any number (including zero) of the 'real' form parameters and I'm able to jump straight to the page (albeit with the 'invalid submission' error). The only way this bug 'feels' dangerous is if 1) There co-exists some sensitive info on the password protected page, and 2) Stealing this type of cookie (which, per the WordPress docs has an expiry of 10 days) is relatively easy (which, I don't think is the case). So...as is, I'm thinking this is a low-severity, low impact vulnerability hence looking for ways to escalate, but as I'm ridiculously new at bug bounty I could be VERY wrong here. Thanks for any help/pointers etc.

p.s. I fully expect responses like "Google X topic" or "go understand Y concept".

arduino is simple

Pico has more horsepower and is standard ARM

rapid merlin
#

python is simple i believe

vapid finch
# naive violet If you have the cookie, you're authenticated.

So...not a bug? I mean, I was able to take the cookie from one session (windows/chrome) and drop it into a cURL request on (wsl2/ubuntu) and it worked. Seems like it shouldn't right? I mean, my gut says it's bad to re-use nonces --- is that correct?

naive violet
modern patrol
modern patrol

and esp32 has wifi and bluetooth built in

naive violet
naive violet

and its cirtuit is super adaptable and shit

naive violet

#

Yes

modern patrol
#

whats the cost?

#

and did uk esp32 is good for hacking too

vapid finch
modern patrol
#

it can perform deauth and handshakes and shit

naive violet
#

About the same as an esp32, woth way more CPU

naive violet
modern patrol
#

it has monitor mode for wifi

modern patrol
#

lol

naive violet
#

Great, so does my $2 usb wifi adapter

modern patrol
#

do u actually think u can take ur laptop everywhere

#

u can lit hide an esp32 with a battery and itll do it thing

naive violet
#

Deauthing is for script kiddies who haven't matured enough to realise DoS attacks aren't funny

modern patrol
#

dauth helps in handshakes uk

naive violet
modern patrol
#

thats the first step

naive violet
modern patrol
naive violet
#

Yeah but not for script kiddy stuff

modern patrol
#

wait ur saying pico has more power?

naive violet
#

Same with the pico

#

The pico is just newer

modern patrol
#

bro esp32 has a wayy higher clock speed wt

#

wtf

naive violet
naive violet
modern patrol
#

The ESP32 has more memory than the Pico W.

#

Both boards have Wi-Fi, but only the ESP32 has Bluetooth

naive violet
#

And you can't compare across architectures like that

modern patrol
#

The ESP32 has more built-in features than the Pico W

#

it has more processing power

modern patrol
#

like i get ur veiwpoint

modern patrol
#

both of them

naive violet
modern patrol
#

but for complex applications like drones pico aint enough

naive violet
#

Lol

modern patrol
#

have u ever tried building a drone?

#

like ik it seems simple but its hell

naive violet
#

I don't need to, I know enough about microcontrollers to know it's not worth arguing with you

modern patrol
#

im not talking abt just buying a flight controller

modern patrol
naive violet
#

You won't even say which model of ESP32 you're talking about. So many different cores

modern patrol
#

wroom is good too

naive violet
#

Whivh SKU is that for the actual chip?

#

Cos the pico has better perf

#

Like seriously, clock speed isn't the same big deal you have been taught

modern patrol
#

but esp32 has 240 clock

naive violet
#

Architecture makes a huge difference, can't compare clock for clock when it does more per clock

modern patrol
#

133 right?

modern patrol
naive violet
#

Nah

modern patrol
#

it says pico 2

naive violet
#

Where?

modern patrol
#

in the article

naive violet
#

The pico 2 is ludicrously faster

modern patrol
naive violet
#

The one is still very fast due to architecture

modern patrol
#

and esp32 has more memory too

#

try to check on a single website

naive violet
#

Again, which?

modern patrol

or try asking gemini

The ESP32 C3 is equipped with 400KB SRAM for its RAM flash memory, surpassing the Raspberry Pi Pico, which has 264 KB. Notably, these microcontrollers diverge in their clock frequencies—the ESP32 C3 operates at a clock speed of 160 MHz, while the Raspberry Pi Pico runs at a slightly lower clock frequency of 133 MHz.

naive violet
#

Keep fanboying. Try new platforms

modern patrol
#

this is what a website saying

modern patrol
#

it depends on the use really

naive violet
modern patrol
#

like both have advantages

modern patrol
naive violet
#

If you get twice as much done in a clock, it does way better for close clock speeds

#

Lol

modern patrol
#

im talking abt memory tho

modern patrol
#

ohh lsn, ur seeing c3

naive violet
#

Ram clocks are also more complicated

modern patrol
#

s2 has more power

#

ESP32-S2 has a higher clock speed than the ESP32-C3, the comparison also says it

try breaking your goal into smaller milestones and setting aside dedicated study time each day to stay focused and motivated

winged birch
#

if you literally study each day, even 15min a day, by the end of the year you will be pretty proficient in the field you did study. 15 min a day is not too much huh? and consider the fact that on some days you may catch a flow and stick with studying for an hour, or two, or 3.

hi everyone can anyone help me with this room, i tried nothing and i'm all out of ideas. also can you help me hack back into my iphone account which is definitely mine that i own

what do people do to practice linux commands? I have looked at games like terminus, bashcrawl and another that is a murder mystery.

rapid merlin
dusky bone
#

I think that it would be good to pool resources

dusky bone
#

One of the rooms I did the other day required linux but also included java which I have not done. I thought that annoying as I had not covered it in any previous room, there was no mention of using other languages.

rapid merlin
#

If that's no problem 😄

nimble jolt
#

that's a good way to force yourself to learn linux!

rapid merlin
#

With the troubleshooting sometimes

#

sometimes

nimble jolt
#

yeah, and learning the differences between distros is pretty important too

rapid merlin
#

Which distros do you use? 👀

nimble jolt
#

i'm getting really into NixOS atm

rapid merlin
#

Ohh nixOS, cool

#

With a specific DE?

nimble jolt
#

but...like.. loads (including flavors like kali for debian for example):

  • debian

  • ubuntu

  • arch

  • fedora

  • NixOS

  • Qubes

  • Bunsenlabs

  • Puppy

  • Manjaro

  • GalliumOS

  • Pop OS (garbage don't bother)

  • Drauger

  • Whonix

  • Tails

  • Kali

  • Parrot

  • probably some others in my experimentationies

nimble jolt
rapid merlin
#

Do you think Pop OS is that bad?

nimble jolt
#

It's just very very bloated and you're better off just configuring any other mainline distro to do the same things

#

Pop OS is maybe a good introductory OS

#

if you've never used Linux before it makes it pretty painless I guess

rapid merlin
#

Mmm never used it

nimble jolt
#

but you won't learn much about linux if you don't experience the pain of "wtf does "sudo dnf" mean

rapid merlin
#

Sticked with Parrot and Debian (and Fedora which I didn't really like). Never felt the need to try other distro's

nimble jolt
#

it's fun to experiment

#

i highly recommend checking out Qubes especially if you're a security researcher

#

it's not strictly a linux distro as it's a microkernel, but it's basically linux

rapid merlin
#

Mmm alright, will have a look into it

#

Thanks blobheart

nimble jolt
#

yw!

#

But i gotta say. NixOS is awesome. It feels so stable and robust. And if you break anything, rolling back to a previous config is super painless

#

and it's also very hard to break anything

#

and if you don't have a particular package installed, you don't need to install it to run it. you can pop it open in an ephemeral shell directly from the repository

#

and dispose of it by closing the shell

#

very useful!

rapid merlin
#

oh thats cool indeed

nimble jolt
#

having a single config file that you keep in a git repo that you can then pull and deploy on any machine or VM or whatever to immediately have all the tools you like to use without having to run any scripts or anything is also really helpful

sick lance
#

I hate Corsas

nimble jolt
#

like i have a really slimline config for VMs that I keep for templating that has all my default configs for stuff like VPN and such in it so i don't have to set up from fresh every time

#

and also don't have to keep a template VM

rapid merlin
#

Mmm that's nice

#

You planning to stick with Nix?

nimble jolt
#

i dunno. I wanna try using it to deploy some stuff across a few VPSes and see i it works as I want it to

tranquil osprey
nimble jolt
#

yeah there's a lot of cool things about it. I need to do some playing around with containers and environments in it which I think is where it really shines outside of the config part

Hello guys i want to join a CTF team if there is any available team am interested.

mossy river

#

is it better to install kali as dual boot or use it as live usb

mossy river
#

Use a VM

#

It’s not recommended to run kali on bare metal

queen flare
high mulch
nimble jolt
#

it's literally just an operating system lol

sick lance
# queen flare why's that though?

Kali is designed to be a penetration testing OS, it's not designed to be daily driven as a normal OS, due to the stability of the OS.

In short, Kali can break easy (and will) which would mean you'd lose everything.

nimble jolt
#

what's not recommended is doing security activity from your main machine on bare metal and your home network.

sick lance
nimble jolt
#

yeah

queen flare
sick lance
nimble jolt
#

there's nothing to gain by installing it as a dual boot

#

at all

#

unless you maybe want to use the tools to test against hardware and probe your own partitions but you really wouldn't need Kali for that anyway

high mulch
queen flare
nimble jolt
#

i more or less exclusively use kali from a live boot usb. Rarely ever feel the need for persistent storage with the exception of handling drivers for peripherals where necessary

mossy river
#

It’s supposed to be setup when you need it

#

Not a daily driver

sick lance
#

If you host can support VM's, I'd use that.

queen flare
#

alright
i'll use a vm then

mossy river
nimble jolt
#

VMs definitely best for beginner

queen flare
#

which vm is best?

nimble jolt
#

depends what platform you're on. There are several options

queen flare
#

i'm on endeavor os

sick lance
#

Hypervisor.

VM's are the machines that are running

nimble jolt
#

probably virt-manager

I have since 1 july or something like that

mossy river
#

Somewhere around that time

#

I only do two terms

rapid merlin
#

Ohhh

mossy river
#

Third time is usually finishing assignments or doing exams in the first week

rapid merlin
#

Ahh yeah

#

We have 5 terms

#

All with their own exam week

#

I think I have 4 this year, because I'm in exam class

chilly veldt

I don't have school for the next 3 weeks

#

😄

rapid merlin

I don't have school for a week now

#

Because they are cleaning it

I just finished my class I have for the next 3 weeks, so I am excused

rapid merlin

LOL

#

Which class was it?

chilly veldt

Network Technology 2 & 3

rapid merlin

Got the CCNA? Or was it CCNP?

chilly veldt

Hello, I am not sure why but for some reason my nmap scanning is taking a long time. I am doing the telnet enum room, using nmap -A -p- <target> and it is saying about another 20 minutes. I did try other things, going specifically to port 23 using an NSE but I did not get the answer for the question.

#

I switched off my vpn and that had no effect

sick lance
nimble jolt
#

it's going to take a while. you can speed it up by using some other flags, take a look at nmap -h and understand what the flags you're using are doing, and what others you could consider using.

By downgrading you will only break stuff

I'm not the right person to ask, but I think vulnerability is used more in professinal environments? And I think else it doesn't really matter.

Again, I'm not the right person to ask :)

#

eyoooo

clear jackal
#

Depends on who I'm talking to. Management or engineering

rapid merlin
#

do u guys think you can live of bugbounty?

nimble jolt
#

I would say that all security flaws are flaws, but not all security vulnerabilities are flaws. Some vulnerabilities are by-design, feature-not-a-bug issues,

clear jackal
#

I don't know that I'd use flaw though

#

Probably issue

#

"there's an issue in the logic, that allows it to be exposed to x"

rapid merlin
nimble jolt
#

something like that

rapid merlin
nimble jolt
#

you'd have to be one of the very best to actually live off it

rapid merlin
#

So good luck with, for example, buying an house

rapid merlin
rapid merlin

my question was bad

i mean like a extra way

clear jackal

#

bug bounties pay some money when you successfully submit a report that they verify and are willing to pay out on, yes

#

good luck being sure they're going to pay out for your hours or days of work though

rapid merlin
#

just i get fun in ctfs, i think it will be the same at bug bounty

nimble jolt
#

bug bounties involve more paperwork

shut hawk
#

Its a whole different environment to CTFs

rapid merlin
#

like report

nimble jolt
#

you have to actualyl write a report of your findings along with evidence

rapid merlin
#

yay

#

its funny too

nimble jolt
#

and you have to be careful to stay within the scope they define

it's very easy to accidentally end up aggressively scanning their entire network and causing a DOS by accident

also, it's not boot -> root

Note, that's your experience (and yes, acceptable).
Some people might experience it different.

why more painful? at least the resources and APIs you're interacting with and exploiting are all uniform and not some webmaster from hell's nightmare personal invention
