Day 1: Enumerate targets in a web application CTF. Explore potential sqli points. Look at SSTI for Werkzeug. Look at SSRF candidate. (dafuq is a gunicorn?)

Follow

Day 2: Listened to @jhaddix@twitter talk about his methodology at NahamCon. Lot of good tools and some advice on things to pay attention to during enumeration. Need to re-watch and take notes--play with some tools. (Also was up to wee hours this a.m. working NahamCon ctf)

Day 3: Reviewed shub's (@infosec_au@twitter) slides (drive.google.com/file/d/14OFU-) from NahamCon 2022 re: Finding 0days in Enterprise Software. I did not know Lotus Domino was still a thing.

Day 4: Installed k8s on Ubuntu lab box. Downloaded Kubernetes Goat (madhuakula.com/kubernetes-goat) to install later tonight or tomorrow. I wish to grok the networking better.

Day 5: Virtually attended SANS CloudSecNext Summit. Really good Keynote by Sounil Yu (youtu.be/mEGqC1tuO4E). Also saw a preso on K8 security by Jay Beale.

Day 6: Virtually attended SANS CloudSecNext Summit, day 2. Some good presos. Site capturing all the links: start.me/p/7krAd2/sans-cloudse Today's keynote was good. Emerging Threats Against Cloud Application Identities... was a good press by Basseri and Bercik. Found a pointer to kubebyexample.com, so off to that site to get basics down before re-trying Kubernetes Goat

I fell down and broke the chain. Watched Nahamsec's Live Recon Sundays session today with Stök and JHaddix where they interviewed @lilc. That was fun and a good reminder to get back at it. Got run some errands and then back at it tonight.

Day1a: New Chain. (Oof.) Today, started a multi-day by cmd+ctrl. Currently at 1570 points. Found a couple of pages susceptible to , which led to and sensitive data disclosure. Solved an encryption challenge and found a "published" DOS bug. Currently banging on an . ;)

Day2a: Continued . Solved crypto challenge and found hidden end point. Sqlmap continues chewing on user table. Used an idor and a script to enumerate all the users.

Day3a: Continued . Solved an image forensics channel. Wrote some scripts to reap user account data and to reap all the images. Read part one of a three part blog on bulbs found in a CDN provider network. CDN Provider had their side published, as well.

Day4a: Continued . Poked at login page and got an interesting error. Still tinkering with that between meetings. There's an auth bypass here, I can *smell* it. Also had some vigorous discussion on what Domain Isolation" is and isn't.

Day5a: Continued , but haven't gotten much further. Watched Hack the Box's "Hands on Hacking" live-stream that's setting up Cyber Apocalypse CTF 2022, which starts tomorrow. Keep an eye on HtB's youtube channel, they'll be posting the videos. The ippsec interview was good and Sheeraz gave a good overview of K8s, which I found helpful. (One more meeting and then I can focus on the auth bypass sqli...)

Day6: The new chain is longer than the old chain! Started Cyber Apocalypse CTF 2022 this morning and worked on it for a couple of hours. Got the 'intro' flag. Worked on two of the challenges, but haven't gotten anywhere--oof. Slight blow to psyche. Good weather today, so worked on container gardening. Now that dinner is done and have whisky on the side table, getting back at it.

Day7: Continued banging on Cyber Apocalypse CTF '22. Finally "really" on the board with a solved web challenge. Downloaded the code for a bunch of other challenges, so it's time to practice code analysis.

Day8: Continued Cyber Apocalypse CTF. Getting *way* more acquainted w/JavaScript. I've got an XSS, but I'm still working out weaponization. Still no additional points, but the day ain't done yet.

Day9: Continued Cyber Apocalypse . Moved to a new challenge. Enumerated site, but not finding entry point. Spent good part of day working on groking MSFT Defender for Cloud Apps.

Day 1b: Dropped the ball yesterday, busy day. Cyber Apocalypse is done. Working on a machine today. New day, new chain.

Day 2b: Kept at the machine. Working out a good payload. Interesting injection point. Also reworking note taking process. Still slow.

Day 3b: More reading about , still need to find right payload. Found an article that walks through a process to find a way to the OS module.

Day4b: Testing payloads. Trying to figure out if I’m overthinking it. Tokens matter.

Day6b: Hack the Box Academy. I like the UI for Burp, but I like not having to pay to get the goodness that ZAP brings. Also took a minute to break the rust off for using Metasploit. Can't remember the last time I looked at that.

@scottlink that was interesting. Are those going to be public links or just for attendees ? Thanks

@Amyfb A lot of them are public. I'm not certain about the slides.

@scottlink omg I’m so glad you watched and enjoyed!! So grateful 🙏
