#

I was fine with the defensive approach. Too bad.
Let's try something.
I apologize if I upset you.

After being a victim of crime, I learned how to use metasploit. However, my msfvenom was blocked by defender. Of course, it didn't run on my vmware PC. I tried asking questions but failed. I'll try to find something on tryhackme or htb.

I was able to get past the Windows 2008 firewall in hardmode with Metasploitable 3. It was easy.

languid pecan
#

msfvenom payloads have known signatures blocked by AVs

#

Typical firewalls

#

I am not sure if it may work on a firewall from WIN VISTA or anything before that

rapid merlin
#

I uploaded a payload created with msfvenom to virustotal and it was caught in large numbers. It wasn't caught at first, though.
There are many msfvenom payloads that cannot be captured by Defender unless they are uploaded to VirusTotal. Therefore, the security is quite inadequate.

#

sigh @sick lance

#

Okay, okay. I'm not doing this with any ill intent. In fact, I've been able to do a few other things. You don't have to trust me.

#

It is not a crime to upload the msfvenom payload to virustotal.

Actually, it's illegal to create malicious software in the UK under the The Computer Misuse Act 1990.

What confuses me is that SQL in my mind is a very abstract you know meaning that you use some other tool to access an SQL database but because elasticsearch has a UI I am fooled like it's some other concept you know that's my confusion

rose tusk

you have different types of databases each with their own unique usage

Yk in IT it's all abt realising the connection and purpose of things. What I'm trying to figure out rn

glass nest
#

zactly.

rose tusk
#

just keep digging, it doesn't make sense until it eventually clicks

glass nest
#

comparison sites and such would use APIs to access databases from other companies, for example.

glass nest
#

Even if that 'access' is limited to what a normal web user would see if they went on a particular companies website

rapid merlin
#

Here's the deal with the new license:

You're cool if you wanna use it in your company
You can build your own stuff with it
You can even mess with the code and share it

BUT (and this is a big but), you can't:

Run it as a service for other people
Try to hack around their license stuff
Take off their branding and copyright info

People got pretty heated about this for a few reasons. First off, the open source folks were mad because, well, it's not really open source anymore. But the real tea? Everyone knows this was mainly about giving Amazon AWS the middle finger, 'cause they were making bank offering Elasticsearch as a service.
What does this mean in real life? If you're just a regular company using it for your own stuff, you're good - nothing changes. If you're a developer building apps with it, you're mostly fine but gotta follow some rules. But if you were planning to make money by offering Elasticsearch services? Tough luck - you either play ball with Elastic or find something else.
It's basically another case of an open source company trying to figure out how to make money while big tech giants like AWS are eating their lunch. Pretty messy situation, if you ask me.

It might not need to 'combine' with another database, just access some of it

# glass nest It can be both, No One

Alright so: an sql database is something you don't just access as a customer on a website. It's about the backend, and with tools the website provides you information retrieved by it. Elasticsearch is a tool used to access databases? And that makes itself a big database?

If we take the example of shopping for online clothes. You have shoestore, jacketstore and hatstore. you also have SwagSearch.

#

Each of the companies will have their oiwn database (Maybe SQL, maybe something else, but they will have them)

#

You can search for shoes on that site, or hats on the other.

half badge
#

So far so good

sick lance
#

I'm ok, I haven't been reported once for not being on the sudoers list.

glass nest
#

You want to get a whole outfit? you use Swagsearch. That will access the same pages you can (But like.. just the text can code) so it takes THAT info from each clothes company

#

shows it to you, so you can get ready for the Disco

silver sky
#

But swag search allows me to look at the finest hats for Mrs Claus. But it also allows me to look at shoes at the same time.

And that will be because elastic is used to correlate information to one place. Even though it's from three separate sources.

sand trench
#

hmmmm wonder if root user can get the reported for not being in sudoers.... would be funny but paradoxial

silver sky
#

That's my understanding

silver sky
glass nest
#

And swagsearch will have it's OWN database in the background. This stores the prices of stuff so it can track price changes, log files.. whatever.

sand trench
#

though that is not as fun

glass nest
#

Buit that would relate to the services that swagsearch would offer.

If it didn't do historical price tracking, then they wouldnt bother saving the prices, for example

the trick now, is to work out which commands you need to run in order to do those things on, say, a MySQL database

I mean, theres only a handful of actual things you can do with a peice of data. Read, Delete, Edit and Add. Everything else is just some variation or combination of that

In reality, thats all excel is. An ad-hoc database. I've been using it for years, and I've barely scratched the surface of what excel can do.

Pivot Tables were a game-changer though 😄

exotic vector
# glass nest yup. Even that shopping list you wrote down is technically a database

also shopping lists is a good way of visualising things.
Like if you have a computer problem or you're trying to do something but you dont know exactly how, you can write out what you are trying to do in a list as a step by step and start researching those steps. The list you wrote may not be right but it'll help break down a problem and help you think about it as well.

I think I have the motivation and the way of thinking to probably do well at bug bounties and it can be added to a portfolio as well (heavily redacted ofc)

When I have to go to the gp or the hospital with my partner I often sit a think "how would an attacker do X" and "how would a defender discover an attacker and retrace the steps to find out who it was" etc. I have same thoughts when im just browsing the web in general as well lol
