Day25: Continued tinkering with script and postman to refine enumeration process on crAPI. Still bash über alles! I *think* I'm finding different version of APIs, so need to work through how to confirm and then, once confirmed, how to exploit.

Day24: Continued on the exercise from Chapter 9. Couldn't get postman to reproduce the results I was expecting. So, I wrote a bash script to do the enumeration. I get the point. Icing would be to rewrite in python and add some processing.

Day23: Another chapter down in _Hacking APIs_ and tinkering with postman. Time for a cocktail and then pick it back up after dinner.

Day22: Found some users. With the secret from "my" jwt and was able forge tokens for each user. With the forged tokens, I could reset their passwords. However, logging in yielded a blank page. Trying out kiterunner to find other API endpoints while I watch the Jan 6 hearings.

Day21: Enumeration and attacks on crAPI. Error message on one of the screens suggested I might be able to brute force 'a thing'. Used ZAP's regex fuzzer for the first time. Didn't get a hit, so I've either mis-inferred what the message meant or it's a lie. After registering a user, attacked jwt with jwtcrack to see if I could get the secret. Success! JWT payload may be an unfortunate decision, so next step is to find other users to see if I can impersonate them.

Day19: Tested the other deliberately vulnerable apps I had issues with on the new version of docker. All good! Wrote a wrapper script to start/stop the apps as needed. (They're supposed to be cows, not pets ya?) Chapters 7 & 8 read of _Hacking APIs_.

Congress critters are pretending to do stuff re: gun violence in schools. Exhibit A: congress.gov/117/bills/hr1567/ and Exhibit B: congress.gov/117/bills/hr750/B The first bill seems unnecessary, if someone has a permit to carry a concealed weapon then they can carry the weapon. The second is redundant: schoolsafety.gov/

Day18: Finally managed to get crAPI working. Needed to move to from docker 20.10.14 to 20.10.16, because of course. (I am not enamored of docker.) Finished the first crAPI lab.

Day 17: Lab in _Hacking APIs_ wants working version of crAPI. Getting crAPI turned out to be fail. Nuked, paved, and re-started that effort. Same result. Documented steps and results. Opened an issue. Got a quick response for additional info, so we'll see how this goes. In retrospect, I should have anticipated the question.

Day16: Continuing reading _Hacking APIs_. Installed OWASP crAPI app on lab machine. Getting some touches with docker. Need to troubleshoot an error w/one of the crAPI containers. Then, time to hack it!

Day15: Back to _Hacking APIs_. Got Juice Shop installed and tucked behind an nginx reverse proxy, along with DVGA. Now have some systems to put on my list of targets. Next chapter down.

Day14: SANS ICS Summit CTF. I'm on the board! No where near top 10, but I'm not sussed since I'm learning more about ICS this way.

Day13: The chain continues... Another chapter down in _hacking APIs_. Installing deliberately vulnerable apps for the next lab and will bang on them later this evening. In the meantime, kidlet has prepared dinner.

I called my congress critters again this week. The topic: 5calls.org/issue/gun-safety-re

In particular, I asked the to close the loopholes around background checks when buying at a gunshow or in a private transaction. I also picked on high-capacity magazines. I don't have an issue with hunting, but 30 round magazines are for hunting people not deer, etc.

Yes, it's polical.

Day12: Worked on _Hacking APIs_, Lab 1. Didn't use Burpsuite, used Zap instead. Compared and contrasted with Postman. Slow going at first as I get acquainted with Postman.

Day11: Continued working on Hacking APIs. Next up is working on the labs. Created a postman account.
