@quick blaze @somber surge Can you continue this in #site-support please?

Thanks 😄

[polar shale]

You will have a lot more of an understanding of package management, utilizing your os .e.g rather than out of the box shit with specalized distros

[dark mason]

I take offense

[polar shale]

I would rather use the attack box on a free plan then install and daily drive kali lol

Or run in vm really**

[chilly veldt]

Enough

[polar shale]

Anyone eith Kali installed on bare metal is insane 💀

[quick blaze]

Room testers is a voluntary team part of the QA department:)
You get the role when you accept an invite from timtaylor, and you test upcoming rooms.

still goes in #room-bugs last shadow heard

[normal fable]

I guess it's not even really misspelled.. just a different way of spelling it that I haven't seen before. 🤷

[sand trench]

ah could be british vs american spelling

[normal fable]

Had to look it up. It's "British English" vs "American English" spelling.
"""
When it comes to spelling, “authorisation” is the preferred form in British English, while “authorization” is used in American English. Interestingly, British English accepts both variations, but American English strictly uses the “Z” spelling.

i just completed the sqlmap room and i did not receive the badge for completing the sqlmap room. the badge is called sword apprentice. it was the room just called sqlmap. is it the wrong room?

[sand trench]

maybe

[restive night]

i see there is another called sqlmap: the basics but the badge just says sqlmap

[sand trench]

go into that room and check if it has the badge button

[drowsy dust]

I don’t remember but maybe there’s a few rooms you need to complete. Some badges are like that

[restive night]

where is the badge button supposed to show?

[drowsy dust]

I normally see them to the right of a path

Says what your next badge is on that path

[restive night]

ahh yes it's the wrong room

[drowsy dust]

Oof

[restive night]

maybe they should update the badge description. insted of saying complete the sqlmap room it should say sqlmap: the basics

[sand trench]

well there are a decent bit of those badge problems

and shadow don't have the time to go through and check all of the badge giving rooms to get those corrected

[drowsy dust]

That’s lame to hear

[sand trench]

*tonight

[drowsy dust]

Hopefully they fix it soon

[sand trench]

well for any of those you find maybe report it in #site-bugs or alternatively in the feedback form

Bro 27 hours on your notebook 💀

[sand trench]

also shadow recommends about once every 3 months or so to go back and clean up your notes to make them easier to read and have them organised

[rapid merlin]

Dunno bout yall but im just noting in notepad, organizing notes in a folder since my writing is terrible

[drowsy dust]

Obsidian is great for note taking

[rapid merlin]

Thank You! Thats good to know, is anythin locked behind a paywall or something?

[sand trench]

note syncing not using git is paywalled
and also the publish feature if you wanna publish few notes as webpages

other then that nope

[drowsy dust]

I haven’t payed a dime on it. But you can pay to sync your notes with other devices or publish

[rapid merlin]

Thats good then, all i really need to do is note some shortcuts anyways because im forgetful

[sand trench]

also .txt files vs .md files have the problem of windows defender the anti virus tripping out if it finds windows exploit scripts

[sand trench]

which is why some people use triliumnext as it uses a db file meaning it gets past windows defender

[eternal timber]

No idea what any of that means

[sand trench]

windows defender gets angry and thinks your computer is infected and therefor deletes or quaranteens text files if it finds windows exploits in said files

[eternal timber]

Oh I see

[sand trench]

trilium next does not get detected as the text is stored in a sql database

trilium next being another note taking app

we're from the 40 crowd 🥳

[warped plinth]

guys need your input, before i start working on the boxes and with my exam, I am currently going through the sql injection in tryhackme but i am not sure if that is sufficient enough for the OSCP exam. i know that we are not allowed to use sqlmap and i feel port 80 and 443 is the entry point for most of the priv esc.

[dry sigil]

does anyone have a list of all the splunk rooms?

or challenge rooms that use a siem

[normal rain]

what

[blazing granite]

you can look it up using the search function

[dry sigil]

alr thanks

[jolly aspen]

From the tryhackme dashboard Learn > Search > “splunk”

[dry sigil]

i think if you only know sqli you're cooked for oscp

i went to challenges

learn > search is kinda inaccurate

the new challenges tab is nice, gave me everything i need

forgot they added that

[blazing granite]

basically what I said 😂

[jolly aspen]

is it though?

[dry sigil]

it also gives some rooms that aren't part of it but its not that big of a problem or anything i just dont prefer it

or maybe im tripping 😂

[jolly aspen]

ah...ok my bad. i'll cater for your preferences next time sire

[dry sigil]

:PP

also bro splunk 2 is not easy at all

[jolly aspen]

yea typing backticks is slow on mobile, you beat me to it

[dry sigil]

need to look at writeups a bit

[blazing granite]

you were more in depth

[jolly aspen]

i can imagine so, if its difficult to use a search bar

[high mulch]

tf it is

[dry sigil]

i wish it was

[high mulch]

[dry sigil]

no need for shade

i was just looking for a list of splunk rooms that ppl use for practice lol

[jolly aspen]

Ok, now you're just taking the piss "does anyone have a list of all the splunk rooms?"

all

[dry sigil]

not all 🤦 i was just asking in general if anyone has a list of rooms they practice with

cause theres a google sheet that ppl use to practice for oscp

[blazing granite]

use the search function and make your own list 😂 😛

[jolly aspen]

perhaps then, asking in the "offsec" server would be most prudent?

[dry sigil]

tried to find a google sheet/github repo that had list of sherlocks or thm rooms but didnt find any

[simple valve]

They might be outdated too

[dry sigil]

right cause of oscp+

[simple valve]

Eh, I don’t think the curriculum changed that drastically

[jolly aspen]

surely doing pretty much any of the splunk rooms would be helpful?

[simple valve]

I just mean that some online resources may not be well updated if it was below 2023

[blazing granite]

you still on the splunk? 😂

[dry sigil]

you're kind of slow man, i'm searching for a list of splunk/elastic room in contrast to finding well documented material ppl used for oscp, cause im tryna take cdsa by next year ig

[high mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/isopod-splungers-splung-gif-24866845

man i love splunk

great roguelike

[high mulch]

I luv it too, I only don't luv its price :P

[simple valve]

If you’re taking the CDSA, then surely their specific modules can help you.

[blazing granite]

splunk slunk splunk 😂

[simple valve]

There’s also dedicated mini paths for Splunk I think under the Learn tab

[high mulch]

I actually stalled all the splunk rooms on purpose

[dry sigil]

yeah cause splunk is

[dry sigil]

alr thanks

[high mulch]

BTL1 is a good certification

[dry sigil]

yeah its kinda pricey tho but its way easier than cdsa and ccd afaik

cheaper than ccd too, but cdsa feels like a fun thing to do since the report writing apparent makes people go over 100+ pages lol

[mellow narwhal]

I'm kind of scared of their certs lol

I do blue teaming as well, but idk how the CDSA will be

[dry sigil]

it's splunk with a lot of threat hunting so that sounds fun 😂

[mellow narwhal]

I'm starting prep for CPTS next year, its already daunting especially since I'm 0 at AD

[dry sigil]

my weakest point for threat hunting is identifying tools that aren't just plain headers lol or identifying which cves were used for X attack on whatever im triaging

[sinful moon]

Realistically I’m sure it’s more than segmented with a completely different VPN system like Wireguard and more

(for THM)

But yes I love their solution for people just poking around

[jolly aspen]

Have you been to admin.tryhackme.com?

[sinful moon]

That’s what I mean lol

I’ve been in on that game egging people on to try lol

[mellow narwhal]

there's something better which could be done (not for this, for something else)

buy the domain hackthe.box and make it redirect to THM

btw, HTB does this

try visiting tryhack.me

[sinful moon]

.box is only a proposed TLD but not current

[mellow narwhal]

yeah probably still has to be released

why debate a decade to register a simple TLD though? 🤣

[sinful moon]

I was about to say… yeah decade since last movement, but better to think it though than the insane .zip TLD we have now

[jolly aspen]

This is owned by Luke turvey

[mellow narwhal]

we have a tld like that??

[sinful moon]

Yes it was a big deal within the last year and a half due to understandable infosec concerns

[mellow narwhal]

O h lol

[jolly aspen]

Looks like it will be private for blockchain

[mellow narwhal]

I didn't whois it

[mellow narwhal]

Maybe

[sinful moon]

They were Google’s last awful decisions as a registrar before they gave that up

[mellow narwhal]

I don't understand blockchain in the slightest though

[sinful moon]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.zip_(top-level_domain)

[jolly aspen]

Ahhhahaha yep, I’ve read about this

[sinful moon]

Rightfully has an entire section on “Security Concerns”

yeah many blocked it out right. Some security researchers bought up all the sus domains they could

[jolly aspen]

.elf TDL dropping soon

[mellow narwhal]

let's have a TLD called .txt

or .pdf

[sinful moon]

lol, but no one Linux savvy enough to know elf would fall for that. Plus I mean, we don’t really use that typically

[jolly aspen]

But everyone knows Santa’s little helpers

[sinful moon]

usually only see it in really weird places like PS2 modding or PS2 Linux and similar cases

lol shh

where’s my .out TLD so I can get the very valuable a.out then?

lolol, that’s typically not how you do it

such stealth

much opsec

[jolly aspen]

Appears to be a DJ

[sinful moon]

I would typically recommend just the ICANN lookup or literal whois rather than that for profit site, but fair the ICANN lookup sometimes fails, but generally the Linux command works

[jolly aspen]

Im on mobile, but thanks for the suggestion

[sinful moon]

On iOS as well or else I’d be like, why not termux

[jolly aspen]

Im aware of how to perform a whois lookup 😉

[sinful moon]

mhmm, I just hate this site coming up in the results trying to out SEO the real thing

although my dude, please charge your phone lol

[jolly aspen]

Ffs

[sinful moon]

<3

lol sorry I wasn’t trying to give you a such a hard time… entirely intentionally c:

I will also note I am an iOS user these days. I do miss termux being handy on my phone, was an Android user for over a decade before I switched

[jolly aspen]

Brb Waiting for my phone to fully charge first

[sinful moon]

Totally fair, yeah I’m just at home typing on an iPad with a keyboard case no-less lol

I’d complain that no one is up but too late for US and too early for UK lol. I’m only up because I have tomorrow (erm, today) off

In more interesting news I got to setup a Linux system that powers a hospitality related media feature at work today, that was nice

[magic plover]

student discount doesn't apply to monthly premium now or my pc bugging?

[mellow narwhal]

I got to hack a relative's old Linux system recently

They'd forgotten the root password (over 25 years old system), I used a basic kernel exploit

Sec, I have a pic somewhere

[sinful moon]

um if you had access to grub you didn’t even need an exploit

heck I’ve had to do so professionally for non-security stuff for ESXi systems lol

[mellow narwhal]

It was a wonder I even got it to boot up 🤣

its 32 bit, I downloaded an ISO image from stack overflow and mounted it with rufus on a 4 gb usb

Xubuntu

[sinful moon]

even then 32bit grub 1 you could have done the same thing and dropped into single user mode and just done the thing

[mellow narwhal]

Ah here it is

Image quality is not the best

[mellow narwhal]

I didn't know of that

[sinful moon]

./hack

yeah you could have just done that by hand

[mellow narwhal]

Yeah lol, I wrote a C script and ran it

[sinful moon]

fair enough

[mellow narwhal]

setuid(0) etc

[sinful moon]

How far are you on the Linux priv esc rooms on THM? because yeah you could have just messed with /etc/shadow its self trivially

[mellow narwhal]

I'm not, actually. I need to be better at it
So far I've only covered kernel exploits, path manipulation, SUID, cron jobs

Yeah I could have modified shadow as well

or cracked the root hash, idk?

[sinful moon]

if you can actually modify the /etc/shadow you can just make it blank or input your own known hash, even easier. Obviously less than stealthy, but not what you were looking to do

[mellow narwhal]

Wouldn't have made much of a difference tbh, the current user had all permissions with sudo

Just got root for fun to say that I got root

[sinful moon]

lol, so you could have just done this without even any hassle either and skiped a few steps, but totally fair

I wasn’t sure how locked out of it you really were

[mellow narwhal]

Not locked out at all tbh, there were multiple ways in

only thing is the root password itself was forgotten, or it would've just taken a sudo su to get in

[sinful moon]

mhmm, and that’s often the fun of Linux exploitation, tons of ways to get the same job done, especially the older it is, the easier it is

I did have fun cheesing some Linux THM rooms with newer exploits than they were designed for… but fair I went back and did it “the right way” so I didn’t cheat myself out of that knowledge

iirc I used DirtyPipe and PwnKit on some for fun, before we had proper rooms on either

[rapid merlin]

👋

[sinful moon]

old THM rooms can be fun playground for new exploits if you don’t feel like spinning up a lab for such

Heya!

[rapid merlin]

@sinful moon what is new with you?

any fun retro experiences, or coding fun?

[sinful moon]

Eh, finally got to do more Linux stuff at work for a client, that was nice. Retro wise, its mostly been retro PC gaming as of late with mods. Not much coding other than reverse engineering a PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL Docker Compose setup to troubleshoot how it worked lol.

[rapid merlin]

mods, reverse engineering, confidential setups, sounds like the life 🙂

living the dream

[sinful moon]

lol kinda the norm, but yee, can’t complain

[rapid merlin]

I just said to someone... best advice I could ever give is, enjoy your day today 🙂

@sinful moon it is really great to hear you share about your experiences 👍

[sinful moon]

Glad to hear it! lol yeah I just do a ton of random stuff both at work and personally. imho it’s good to be well rounded, not that I’d be remiss in saying I’d enjoy a more specialized single focus job in the future, but amazing job experience

But yeah for the former point, besides just enjoyment, there’s a reason I use every OS I can get my hands on

[rapid merlin]

it is really great to hear you make the connection to a job and what you are passionate about

that is value to both yourself and employers

[sinful moon]

For sure, although it is probably time for me to move on, but saying so and doing so are two different things. We shall see, I am at a pretty comfortable spot

[rapid merlin]

yes growth is extremely healthy to be able to self reflect on

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[rapid merlin]

that's the core to hackers imo

we want growth

[sinful moon]

Yeah I’m not content unless I’m learning something every single day, I wouldn’t even say I’m pushing myself to do so, more just addicted to learning lol

[rapid merlin]

happy to hear you say that, I believe it is a big reasons we are all gathered here

[eternal timber]

I need like 10 bottles of vodka stockpiled

[rapid merlin]

depressants? 😮

@lunar cloud I so want to hear what you had to say 🙂

[wooden totem]

Yeast

[sinful moon]

fermented

(that’s not vodka tho)

[lunar cloud]

anyone know the answer to this question.Based on the duty to inform case study, what should be considered when deciding whether to investigate a breach? (Answer1 vs Answer2) it has to be 4 letters vs 13 letters. "The duty to inform is closely tied to transparency and communication. DFIR teams must keep stakeholders informed about the progress of the investigation, emerging threats, and mitigation efforts while ensuring confidentiality and that privacy laws and regulations are observed. Regular status updates, incident reports, and briefings contribute to fulfilling this duty. Communication channels may include secure emails, encrypted messaging platforms, or dedicated incident response portals. Timely and accurate information sharing enhances collaboration among team members and external stakeholders, fostering a collective understanding of the evolving threat landscape.

"

[rapid merlin]

@wooden totem my addiction is showing up at the bakery at 7AM asking for their latest bread

[eternal timber]

What

[near sapphire]

what is this for?

[lunar cloud]

IR Philosophy and Ethics

[rapid merlin]

oh! alcohol being a depressant (no shame)

[sinful moon]

This sounds like a question for school which we’re not supposed to be assisting with.

If you need that kind of assistance, it’s best to collaborate with your classmates or reach out to advisors

[elder peak]

That’s a lot, lol

[rapid merlin]

@eternal timber I had education on mental health and addictions with 5+ years of street outreach, and 2+ years a facility 😄

it only added to my social engineering skill 😄

[eternal timber]

I like not having to think

Even if it’s not completely effective

[sinful moon]

Fun fact this is my last night of drinking habitually

[rapid merlin]

@eternal timber I hear ya, numbing, drowning out being in our head

[wooden totem]

[eternal timber]

Not drinking it all at once lol

[eternal timber]

I’ve had two beers and whiskey

[rapid merlin]

@wooden totem omg, the best

[eternal timber]

Tonight

[rapid merlin]

I can't eat "normal bread" anymore

[wooden totem]

Would you eat this

[sinful moon]

You don’t want to know how many I’ve had, which had lead to my tolerance and lead to this not being acceptable in my life anymore lol. But thats a me issue I’m getting over. You are just fine my friend!

[rapid merlin]

considering you invested the time to share it, quite possibly yes, yet I would love to hear your personal story around that picture

[wooden totem]

Garlic bread

[rapid merlin]

we live and learn, I hear that 😉

[sinful moon]

That is obviously a stock photo lol

[elder peak]

Oh, stocking up for the year

[rapid merlin]

a crazy part of my bread purchasing experience, is making a connection to the person who was up super early baking it

and them knowing who I am

[sinful moon]

thus your name and orgin story? lolol

[rapid merlin]

it is simply a connection to people 🙂

[eternal timber]

More like a month if I’m being irresponsible

At most

[sinful moon]

haha I know, nice story. I just couldn’t resist

was hoping it was your secret super power origin

[real lichen]

pro tip use your favorite AI to help you hack!!

[sinful moon]

well about that….

[rapid merlin]

my super power is most likely caring about people

[real lichen]

i have been testing copilot it works pretty amazing

[sinful moon]

Inadvisable, it should only be an assistant, it is not magic, its just fed off of web data and more. It doesn’t mean it’s right, it doesn’t mean it’s being ethical, it doesn’t mean it’s being stealthy. There’s so many caveats if you mean to use this for red team engagements. You need to be very mindful to check behind it if you use a tool like that

[real lichen]

i know this it shows you the references

and it is much easier than searching the web

[rapid merlin]

@real lichen that kind of thinking creates jobs for new people, yet creates work for experienced people, to fix the disaster of code written by AI

not saying it is right or wrong

[sinful moon]

That’s fair but it’s better to actually learn this yourself and only reach out when you need help

[real lichen]

not for writing whole programs either

i am i use it to look up commands and it can help keep track of data for you too

[sinful moon]

and wait you need help with something, it’s called man pages and documentation

[real lichen]

lol

[sinful moon]

or literally tab completion in your terminal

[real lichen]

again this is much easier

[rapid merlin]

I have friends at Electronic Arts who spend most of their day fixing bugs due to AI generated code implemented by new programmers using AI

[wooden totem]

Jarvis, source on Reddit from now on

[real lichen]

and i can feed the man page to the AI and he can help me look for stuff

[sinful moon]

It’s easier to switch out of your terminal to check something you need in your terminal?

[elder peak]

Dang you can go through 10 bottles in a month, 750ml bottles?

[rapid merlin]

AI creates new opportunities for us in cybersecurity

not sure how I feel about that

[real lichen]

FOR REALS

[sinful moon]

I get it, I’ve used ChatGPT to help me in some limited capacities, but also, you’ll find many guardrails against truely malacious use you may actually want to employ for ethical purposes

[eternal timber]

I don’t drink often but I go hardcore when I do

[rapid merlin]

@eternal timber binge drinking! or substance abuse

[real lichen]

i am going for ethical use and the AI wont answer you if it thinks you are doing illegal stuff lol

[wooden totem]

Liver disease my favorite

[rapid merlin]

@eternal timber message me if you think we can avoid any self harm 😉

[sinful moon]

Well Keith, it depends on what field of infosec you’re interested in then I guess

[wooden totem]

It's pretty good for beginner stuff and basics, struggles to think outside the box

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[eternal timber]

Don’t worry. I’m not in state of mind anymore

[real lichen]

just saying especially if you are new you can just ask to explain a command you dont understand

[eternal timber]

Thanks tho

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @lime ledge (current: #234 - 31)

[sinful moon]

it’s only yet another source of documentation but one which must be used with quite a grain of salt, especially on code

[real lichen]

it will even walk you through finding exploits on metasploit lol

[sinful moon]

We do have rooms on that, and there’s the info command

just like man pages for general commands

Just as long as you’re only using it as a supplement that’s fine, rather than a crutch

[real lichen]

definetly not a cruch its my assistant

[sinful moon]

don’t cheat yourself out of learning how to find info yourself

because you’re not going to have it in standardized testing

[real lichen]

i also have had a bachelor of science in computer programming for 14 years

just breaking into cyber security

[sinful moon]

what…

[rapid merlin]

I have had 20 years experience as a programmer, recently learning PowerShell is hard 😄

[sinful moon]

Oh I misread my bad

[real lichen]

lol

[sinful moon]

PowerShell isn’t too hard it’s just extremely C# and “code as documentation” to a fault

[eternal timber]

I have 22 years of experience in life

[real lichen]

code is easy

[sinful moon]

yet they say that but you see a powershell script without comments and it’s ouch

[rapid merlin]

I can only say take it easy, and unlearning can be a blessing

[real lichen]

i was trained in C++ originally

have exp in assembly some

[wooden totem]

Where the money is

[real lichen]

my degree was also specialized for game development

[rapid merlin]

crime >:)

don't give in to hate

[eternal timber]

That’s sick

[rapid merlin]

I did gamedev indie for 6+ years

[real lichen]

i love it the new unreal stuff is crazy

[sinful moon]

14 years ago probably means raw engine coding, or were you doing frameworks back then too?

[rapid merlin]

still living off the funds today

[real lichen]

yes maam

[wooden totem]

Imma try that

[real lichen]

created engines of our own

for final project i created our entire VFX engine and editor

[mellow narwhal]

It is useful for assisting tbh
Especially useful for harder things like active machines in HTB

[sinful moon]

Nice most of my gamedev were with APIs but not full on Unity/Godot, more like Love2D, Pico8 and APIs like that

[rapid merlin]

@wooden totem my experience taught me (also the connections to people) that living by making mistakes is the best thing I could never do

[sinful moon]

I can do some simple stuff with SDL and C++ but I don’t have the time for that

[half girder]

@real lichen did you work on popular games? something known?

[wooden totem]

Good thing my whole life is a mistake then 😎

[rapid merlin]

reddit frontpage 50k USD 1 day 👍

yet I didn't know why

lesson learned... measurables

CEOs, customers, employees, shareholders...

make a thing, sell a thing, measure

[sinful moon]

Totally fair

[real lichen]

i have not worked on any known games i have friends in minecraft and destiny

[sinful moon]

Yeah I have some friends in the industry working from indie to AAA, it’s neat to hear what they’re working on for sure

[rapid merlin]

I have been a CTO in finance, worked in gamedev, also worked in cybersecurity

[real lichen]

i worked at Audible and Publix Corp lol and a couple indie companies that didnt pan out. working on my own stuff now

[rapid merlin]

and now I hide from my experience 😄

[sinful moon]

Ouch I don’t envy working as CTO, but nice

[rapid merlin]

my last job was as a social worker helping people with disabilities 🙂

[sinful moon]

I say accidentally becoming compliance manager as one of my many hats, also not envyable

[rapid merlin]

we really want growth, how ever that looks like

[sinful moon]

Nice yeah those were my first two jobs, working in education and home health care with similar populations

Pay was crap, but extremely rewarding jobs

little example for a quick AI question this is more noob related

make nmap go as fast as possible with threads
To make Nmap scans as fast as possible by leveraging threads, you can use the following options: -T5, --min-parallelism, and --max-parallelism.

Here’s an example command that sets aggressive timing and increases parallelism to maximize speed:

Example Command
shell
nmap -T5 --min-parallelism 100 --max-parallelism 256 <target>
Explanation:
-T5: Sets the timing template to Insane (fastest).

--min-parallelism 100: Sets the minimum number of parallel probe groups to 100.

--max-parallelism 256: Sets the maximum number of parallel probe groups to 256.

dude the man page would have told you that

[rapid merlin]

man page ftw 👍

[real lichen]

lol

[half girder]

i didnt find yet my personal dream job, however after 20 years its about time to not say anymore "it pays the bills" .. i should look for something fun + paying the bills xD

[real lichen]

this makes it easier to understand and just a quick example lol

[mellow gull]

ChatGPT, please give me a summary of the nmap man page

[odd widget]

BRO WANT GIVE ATTAK MY BOR? WANT ?

[wooden totem]

I don't think it's a noob question if the question has so many specifics

[sinful moon]

just do / to do a search while in a man page, but yes

[real lichen]

i did already know what i was looking for

me using it to mess around with bug bouties and keep track of what ive done

give me a summary of our targets
Sure thing! Here's a summary of our current targets and the progress we've made so far:

Target 1: MercadoLibre
Objective:

Perform comprehensive security testing to identify potential vulnerabilities in MercadoLibre's web application and infrastructure.

Activities Performed:

Directory Enumeration:

Conducted multiple rounds of Gobuster scans.

Identified numerous directories returning 403 Forbidden status codes.

Filtered and documented significant directories for further analysis.

403 Forbidden Directories Analysis:

Focusing on directories like /netdiag, /nt4novel, /WebDAV-IIS, and /sip-server for deeper exploration.

Next Steps:

API Testing:

Set up test user accounts and explore MercadoLibre's APIs for potential vulnerabilities.

Subdomain Enumeration:

Identify and analyze subdomains using tools like Sublist3r or Amass.

Automated Vulnerability Scanning:

Run automated tools (Nikto, OWASP ZAP) to identify common web application vulnerabilities.

CSP Analysis:

Evaluate Content Security Policy headers to prevent XSS attacks.

but also I will just point out, THM teaches you a lot of these things

[round orbit]

I hate computers.

[sinful moon]

And hack tricks if you really need that kind of outline for “what to check” if you don’t know

But this is also why keeping your own notes are important

[round orbit]

I’m guessing that CISSP is the end career goal for a lot of people in cyber security?

[sinful moon]

I get the value, but as infosec professionals, we should already be subject matter experts

[round orbit]

And never share with others 😉

[real lichen]

of course i screenshot everything and all of that. this is something i have just been experimenting with

[sinful moon]

Many do publish their notes online, that’s kind of a common past time actually, infosec blogging even just for THM/HTB writeups

and honestly, that’s kind of the form that the hack tricks site is in, it’s just a collection of notes already

[rapid merlin]

yo guys, ik it sounds kinda stupid but will tryhackme's certs help idk get a job or some? im just 15 but im kinda thinking about the future n stuff
