45 TopicsNetwork Hardening Lab Recommendations
I've been looking for some good training resources for network hardening. I've been working through the Windows Hardening collection and found it really useful. Are there any other lab recommendations similar to this? In particular hardening things such as PfSense firewalls, Vyos routers, Linux endpoints etc.Solved47Views0likes3Comments- 297Views0likes9Comments
Lab 9: Macro Polo
Hello all, I am working on the new 3 labs from October 20th however I am not a really good coding person haha, I tried to analyze the macro_polo.nim and I was able to find a few flags but all of them wrong.

Hello, I'm going through some old labs I haven't managed to complete. This one's a bit of a beast. I can get a reverse shell, I can see I am git. however I cannot for the life of me Identify the NGINX log files. this doesn't return anything from the shell or when I am shh'd into the gitlab server find / -type f -name "gitlab_access.log" 2>/dev/null and this isn't returning anything from either the shell or ssh session iml-user@defsec:~/Desktop$ sigmac -t grep sigma.yml grep -P -i '^(?:.*(?=.*POST)(?=.*499))' any clues gratefully received ;)Solved95Views0likes2CommentsBurp Suite Basics: Intruder - Stuck on missing password.txt
Hello community, I'm stuck in lab https://mercedes-benz.immersivelabs.online/v2/labs/burp-basics-intruder/series/burp-suite. The attack to carry out is about a brute-force guess on mfogg1's password using the intruder. The briefing states: Brute force the login page using the password.txt list against the user mfogg1. I'm missing that password.txt file, where the heck is it? I carried out an intruder attack (Cluster bomb) using well known passwords from /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/burnet_top_1024.txt without success. Even worse, testing those 200 attacks (there are only 200 passwords in that file), tooks quite a considerable time. I must have missed something about the location of that obscure password.txt file. I'm stuck. Perhaps someone can shed a light on this. Thanks in advance, WolfgangSolved114Views0likes1CommentStuck On Secure Spring Developer (Beginner) URL Parameters Challenge
The lab is around trying to mediate a vulnerability by changing a GET request to a POST request in order to keep sensitive login information out of the URL params. But basically I don't know how I need to go about changing the code(apart from changing "GET" to "POST" on the login form and in a backend method). I'm at a total loss on this one so I'd really appreciate some guidance or an example. I wasn't sure if I should also be making changes to the mapping on the controller (although this isn't mentioned in the lab). These are the changes I have made so far <form th:action="@{/login}" method="POST"> protected LoginProcessingFilter(AuthenticationManager authenticationManager) { super(new AntPathRequestMatcher("/login", "POST")); setAuthenticationManager(authenticationManager); setAuthenticationSuccessHandler(new SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler("/home")); } Thanks in advance for any assistanceSolved74Views0likes2Comments
