Incident Response: P2 - stuck on Q11
I successfully completed the previous question, but I’m currently encountering difficulties with Question 11: “What are the last 6 characters of the MD5 checksum of the malware executable?” I’ve identified and extracted the malware executable and the associated IOCs; however, none of the MD5 hashes I’ve generated appear to match the expected result. Upon reviewing the instructions, I revisited the step: “Using a Python script or a manual deobfuscation method, get the binary from the VBA script.” I suspect this is where my process may be breaking down — specifically in extracting the correct binary from the VBA script. Could one of the instructors kindly provide guidance or clarification on where I might be going wrong?
Trick or Treat on Specter Street: Widow's Web
I am very stucked in Trick or Treat on Specter Street: Widow's Web I can't do none of the questions, but in any case I start by 4th that is the first answerable one Your first task is to simulate the loyal Crawlers. Run legitimate-crawler and inspect the output in Lab-Files to observe their behavior. To simulate the rogue Crawlers, you must discover the hidden paths on the website. Read the blog posts – they contain clues. Disallow these in Website-Files/robots.txt and run malicious-crawler. Inspect the output in Lab-Files. What is the token? I have created the robots.txt file since I understand that malicious-crawler goes expressedly there. My robots.txt contains all url's I can imagin Disallow: /secret Disallow: /treat Disallow: /hidden Disallow: /crypt Disallow: /warden Disallow: /rituals Disallow: /witch-secrets Disallow: /admin Disallow: /vault Disallow: /uncover Disallow: /post1 Disallow: /post2 Disallow: /post3 Disallow: /post4 Disallow: /contact Disallow: /drafts/rituals But the result of malicious-crawler.txt doesn't give me either a token nor a hint I have curl-ed all pages looking for words as token and nothing. I have found some key words in http://127.0.0.1:3000/witch-secrets as intercepted-incantations, decoded them and nothing. I have searched in spider-sigthings.log what hapened at 3.00 am but nothing Can someone gime me a hint?
Active Directory Basics: Demonstrate Your Skills
Hey team, i am working on the lab in the title and quite sure there's an issue with the answer for one of the questions. 12. What is the full name of the user on COMP-SIREN that begins with L? I am pretty sure it is Larry Young as you can see from the screenshot. Could i check whether there is an error with the question? Or am i missing somethingWhy I don't like: Find the Flaw
After done almost all "Find the Flaw" labs I'm trying to give a feedback about this mode. On one hand it's quite handy and nice, to see and define flaws and link them to the corresponding CWE. But sometimes it takes time... very long time (for 20 pts!). Here's an example, I want to share which I'm struggling with and which does not makes sense for me - and there are many FtF labs like this which are forcing me to do try and error. Let's take "Find the Flaw: Rust – Identification and Authentication Failures". You'll have a code like (for brevity I've shortend it a little bit): ... #[derive(Deserialize)] struct PasswordForm { token: String, password: String, } #[derive(Deserialize)] struct UserIdQuery { user_id: String, } async fn reset_password( Query(user_id_query): Query<UserIdQuery>, pool: axum::extract::Extension<SqlitePool>, Form(form): Form<PasswordForm>, ) -> Html<String> { let user_id = user_id_query.user_id; let token = form.token; let password = form.password; if password.len() < 8 || !password.chars().any(|c| c.is_lowercase()) { return Html("Password must be at least 8 characters long and contain at least one lowercase letter.".to_string()); } let hashed_password = sha256(password.as_bytes()); let hashed_password_hex = hex::encode(hashed_password); let pool = pool.0; let result = query("SELECT user_id FROM password_resets WHERE token = ?").bind(token) .fetch_optional(&pool) .await; match result { Ok(Some(_)) => { let update_result = query( "UPDATE users SET password = ? WHERE id = ?") .bind(hashed_password_hex) .bind(user_id) .execute(&pool) .await; ... } pub async fn main() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> { ... .route("/reset_password", post(reset_password)) ... so, on the first glimpse you'll notice: let result = query("SELECT user_id FROM password_resets WHERE token = ?").bind(token) .fetch_optional(&pool) .await; and you think: cool, as long as I have a valid token I can reset ANY password, because the UserIdQuery holds the user_id from the query parameters. That must be the error. And it's clearly CWE-640 - Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password. Boom! But lab says: "Correct Vulnerability but Incorrect Line" Then you say, ok.. something might be missing... or too much. you'll remove lines, 3... 2.. 1.. nothing. maybe I need to add the update password procedure? so let's click the lines on: let result = query("SELECT user_id FROM password_resets WHERE token = ?") .bind(token) .fetch_optional(&pool) .await; and... ? "Correct Vulnerability but Incorrect Line" now you start clicking on 1 up to 7 lines in all different combinations (no .await, but .bind) but: "Correct Vulnerability but Incorrect Line" You add another part of the code, which could make sense like: let user_id = user_id_query.user_id; let token = form.token; let password = form.password; Again here you start shuffling all the options (now you click between 1 up to 10 lines in all different variations) but all you get is this "Correct Vulnerability but Incorrect Line". You read again the hint you've got with the wrong answer: "Consider how the password is being reset". Yes I did, really! All the time! and so on and so on... probably I've clicked now hundreds of different combinations and so on and I start believing there's a bug in the lab (would not be the first one on this collection). So, how is it for you those "Find the flaw" labs? You like them? You struggle with them? greetings -steven ps: If you have the solution or any other hint for this one, ping me :)
Credential Access - NTDS
Got down to the last two questions and I felt like I've tried all suggestions in the briefing. Can anyone help out with the last two question? Also, the "secretsdump.py -ntds <ntds.dit path> -system <SYSTEM hive path> LOCAL" isn't working but tried "impacket.examples.secretsdump" and it doesn't throw an error, but also doesn't throw any output.Wondering about potential jobs offered after completion of labs....
Hi - I was wondering about the jobs available after completing the labs. I've been a support engineer for five years now, most recently a senior engineer at a Silicon Valley MSP. I've already earned a one-year college Cybersecurity Networking certification from a community college (with a 3.9 GPA) and the Security+. Can someone give me an idea of potential companies? Also are any of the positions remote? I live in the northern California mountains....
