I prefer to be on the attacking side

#

Though blue team stuff is also very nice, I prefer the red side

sick lance
#

Around 60% of the website is free.

rapid merlin
#

If you are going to do any red-team stuff. You need to know blue team for any reports your going to make

solid umbra
#

howcome red team is easy compared to blue one

rapid merlin
#

If you don’t know how to fix the vulnerability, it’s still fairly good but not quite what people are looking for

vagrant kraken
#

for an information security analyst role what should i be studying?

sick lance
#

You got in trouble for the doxx more than anything.

But it gets a bigger issue if you keep raising it.

#

Learn from it and move on

vagrant kraken
#

Keep learning but slow pace, dont go fast like me! I fuced up

rapid merlin
#

I think it will be forgiven, but keeping it in the back of our mind

scrubz , you think ai will replace pentesting?

rapid merlin
#

I don’t think so

rapid merlin
solid umbra
#

what is your current job ?

pine stratus
rapid merlin
#

I think that ai will make some of the parts of pentesting automated, but ai might not be able to replace us because of the fact that ai doesn’t think like a human, so any creative solutions which are completely out of the box might get overlooked by ai

shut hawk

you're a year 7 student?

#

in the UK?

solid umbra
#

I believe we will be able to use more of a human language than coding or scripting with AI but in the end final decisions need to be made by humans

#

Why is it ai specific, I would just use the term automated

shut hawk
#

To replace it? won't happen. As a tool to assist you? Absolutely

rapid merlin
shut hawk
#

imo too much manual work is needed for a pentest (not a vulnerability scan)

What language do they speak over there?

I mean like any other languages

There are walkthroughs online as well going through that room

Now I can search up what is log poisoning lol

lost birch
rapid merlin
#

Like a couple of people who are enthousiastic to learn cybersecurity, and like go to events and stuff

lost birch
#

I think most people here are like that to be honest, I know for certain I am

#

But you're looking for a smaller group?

rapid merlin
#

Yes

#

To do events together, and learn stuff from each other

viral sphinx
lost birch
#

OK I see

#

Local file inclusion

#

I'm just trying to break it down 🙂

#

Ahh okay

#

so this is a remote code execution vulnerability with logs on a web server?

#

oh wow this is related to XSS

lost birch
#

not small ones

silver sky
rapid merlin

lost birch
#

Oh that's so coooolll

#

that sounds interesting

#

the SQL injection of web logs

#

Terrible analogy but yk what I mean

#

May I ask about the headers? What headers are these?

viral sphinx
lost birch
#

no you're right I only meant it in the way that you change ur input to include commands and trick the server to perform them

#

In SQL it would be a database though

viral sphinx
# lost birch May I ask about the headers? What headers are these?

headers in http request I identify which resource you want from web server and other information from web server like which path you want to access or security mechanism applied like auth header to authenticate so by that header web server knows you are accessing it's resource without begin logged every time

lost birch
#

btw if you can't answer all these questions its okay but I appreciate you explaining it 🙂

viral sphinx
#

it's pretty easy if you study a lot every day

lost birch
#

that's the plan for me 😇

naive violet
vagrant kraken
lost birch
#

As much as I realistically can

naive violet
#

That's just the first line of the request, the headers are other metadata about the request

tender sedge
#

Hiii, I'm new on cybersecurity community 😊

lost birch
#

Hey aypex! Welcome

tender sedge
#

Thank you 🙂

lost birch
#

that makes sense, what kind of metadata?

viral sphinx
lost birch
naive violet
#

Because the headers just... don't do that?

lost birch
#

I forgot the types so just looked that up kekw

naive violet
#

It's an injection attack but that's more or less as far as the similarities go

lost birch
#

Oh right

sudden bridge
#

i've gotten a 1 month voucher from thm. how long before it expires?

naive violet
#

1 month after you activate it

sudden bridge
#

i haven't claimed it. doing free rooms right now. so when does it expire?

naive violet
#

1 month after you activate it

#

It doesn't expire until then

lost birch
#

I think I misunderstood what w3rew0lf said 😅

The log stores information about the request, so you poison your request to trick the server to allow you to use the poisoned log file with LFI?

sudden bridge
#

gotchu.

lost birch
#

Oh wait that doesn't make sense

naive violet
#

The log stores data about your request
You put a payload into that data
Then get it to include the log file with the LFI
It will see the PHP payload you put into the log, and run it

lost birch
#

how do you put the payload into the data? Is that something you have to exploit with another tactic or is it because of poor input sanitisation?

naive violet
#

The log file is not meant to be a PHP file and it should NOT be treated as such - hence sanitisation isn't relevant
What you're doing with the LFI is making it treat the log file as a PHP file

lost birch
#

ohhhhhh that makes sense!

#

One final question I think I've almost got it

lost birch
naive violet
#

That's what LFI is

#

The include() function in PHP will treat the file it reads as a PHP file because the whole reason include() exists is to load PHP files as libraries really

hi i have a problem, i am a premium user so i can use the attackbox as long as i want but i hate the attackbox, and sometimes when i join a room e.g linux fundamentals (idk which one but the one where you need to ssh into it if you have no attackbox) tryhackme "forces" me to use the attackbox when i click on start machine it starts the attackbox AND the target machine; is there any way to disable it?

If it's split screen mode into a machine that isn't the Ubuntu machine loaded with hacking tools, it's not the attackbox

So. Knackered.

Yeah, got 6 niblings and a god-daughter

I'm the uncle that can fix anything (according to them)

#

hahaha

#

I mean... They're not wrong :p

#

i have no doubt about it

#

It's one of those situations though... the cost of being known as the guy who can fix anything, is that I need to be able to fix anything

#

that can be cut easy

depend of how thick material is

thats what my question was gonna be 😄

loud marlin

i can cut around 6mm wood in 3-4 pass. depend of power

I read somewhere that plastic needs fast speed, many passes to prevent burning

yep. same as wood for me. first pass faster to get it fast so not to burn

The main reason you'd need a WiFi adaptor is if you're doing WiFi stuff and your built in adapter doesn't do promiscuous mode

wifi hacking stuffs is rarely needed

if you dont have enough money you can get an old laptop and run a light version of linux on it but you dont need the best laptop to learn just look to have enough ram because you will need to run multiple things at the same time so around 16-32gb should be enough and look for a decent cpu and gpu should be enough for you to learn and expirement and if you want to use windows run linux on a vm because most of the tools are optimised to run better on linux or are just for linux i think

A Virtual Machine. Its a program you can run on your computer in which you can install another operating system

way easier than dual booting 😄

its a virtual machine(virtualization) basically it takes recourses from your host machine like your laptop pc and you give some to the vm box and you can run linux, windows whatever you want

just look tutorials on youtube

you can also run linux on windows with WSL which is alot easier then dual booting aswell
