DFIR CTF: LightNeuron DLL - Question 8
In relation towards finding the decrypted email. I am wondering about what I am getting wrong from the conditional breakpoint in order to expose all the decrypted strings after the return function After searching up the XOR key location I went to from Ghidra Through the RET function which I thought would expose the strings I ran going to the ret function then after following the process in order to go to the DLL malware and got into the ret function I set the breakpoint and debug restarted However, it kept saying memory address unavailable. such as this also includes setting the CF flag to 0 I am wondering about what I am doing wrong here and where should I dig deeper? Note: used Gemini to help look into possible solutions however, refered to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc8Wl37uwYc for aid I have also tried to run to the function but for some reason it the instruction keeps catching it and making a return away from the malware by setting breakpoint towards there but I keep getting lost on how I could actually breakdown the return and evasion techniques. Wondering where should I be digging more to learn how to investigate this process despite the amount of returns stopping the functionThe Human Connection Challenge Lab 1: Basic OS Skills - Walkthrough Guide (Official Version)
In this walkthrough, I'll share some strategies for efficiently completing the lab, based on my perspective as the author. Remember, there are often multiple ways to approach a challenge, so if you used a different method and succeeded, that's perfectly fine! The goal is to learn, and I hope these notes help clarify any steps and reinforce key concepts for the next challenge.
Struggling to find the IT email on Simulations: BarterTown Delivery
During the last few days, I’ve been stuck on this lab, and I’m not sure what I’m missing. The lab asks us to use OSINT tools and techniques to gather intelligence about individuals to target within the organization, with the goal of testing the awareness of BarterTown’s IT staff and eventually gaining a foothold in the internal network. I’ve been using the information provided by the lab as a starting point for my reconnaissance. The website gives us several employees and their email addresses, but none of them are identified as IT staff. I also found the DNS SOA contact (hostmaster.bartertown.bitnet), but that appears to be a standard administrative DNS alias rather than an actual employee. The mail server does not seem to allow useful anonymous user enumeration, and the other reconnaissance results have not revealed the missing user. Has anyone completed this lab and can give me a hint about where/how the missing target information is supposed to be discovered?Brute Force task in an 15 min lab taking over 30 hours to complete
Hello everyone, I am doing an Immersive Labs about hacking, and there is a lab where I can learn how to crack codes with Hydra using SSH, HTTP, and FTP. The problem is that for the FTP part, I am supposed to brute-force a password (a 4-character password composed of lowercase letters and numbers). I am using the correct command, but the brute force is extremely slow, doing roughly 1 attempt every 3.5 seconds, which brings the total cracking time to over 30 hours. I waited 2 hours already, which is far too long, especially since the lab has to be extended every 10–15 minutes. However, now it has become personal, and I really want to get this password. Can anyone help? I am using the following command: hydra -l jimmy -x 4:4:1a -f -t 64 ftp://(ip address) i have tried -t, 4, 8 and 16, doesn't change anything I also tried creating 4 lists containing all possible passwords and running them in parallel with -P instead of using -x, but I always got too many attempts.

Help Request – Infrastructure Hacking: Demonstrate Your Skills – Attacking UnrealIRC
Hi Everyone, I’m currently working on the Infrastructure Hacking: Demonstrate Your Skills – Attacking UnrealIRC lab and have been stuck on Target 2. The target is running an SMTP server that is vulnerable to remote code execution. After identifying the software and version, I attempted to develop and execute an exploit to retrieve the token located in /root/token.txt. I also noted the hint that ncat is installed on the target. I have tried multiple approaches, including the exploit script shared below, but I have not been successful in obtaining a shell or retrieving the token. Despite several troubleshooting attempts, I’m unable to progress further. Has anyone completed this lab successfully? If so, I would greatly appreciate any guidance, hints, or suggestions that could help me understand what I might be missing. The target server has ncat installed. can someone complete this lab, can please help me Thank you in advance for your help and support! Regards, Prashanth N.Need help in Splunk Lab!
I am attempting the Splunk collection under Upskill. In the final lab i.e. Demonstrate your skill lab, I am getting stuck at a particular task. This is the prompt that I need to solve. The problem is there is no field for Destination IP in the log. Whenever I search according to the prompt, no results are returned and the question won't take 0 as an answer. Please help me move forward.
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?
Microsoft Sentinel Deployment & Log Ingestion: Ingesting Platform Logs via Diagnostic Settings
Hello Immersive Labs community, I’ve been working through the lab tasks and successfully completed tasks 1 through 6. However, I’m stuck on task 7, which asks: "A storage account has been deleted. What would be the data type of the generated log?" The task seems oddly described, and I can’t find any clear hints in the lab briefing or online resources. I’ve tried querying various data types like AzureActivity, AuditLogs, StorageBlobLogs, StorageFileLogs, and others, but none seem to fit correctly. Could anyone provide guidance or confirm which data type is actually relevant for this scenario? Are there any specific tips or resources I might be missing? Thanks in advance for your help!Git Security: Git History
Hi all, I’ve been struggling for a while with the last question on this lab, question 7. Where you need to purge access_keys.json from the commit history and force push changes at the end. I’ve tried so many combinations that I’ve lost count. The most recent, which I don’t understand why it’s not working is: git log --diff-filter=A -- *.json To find the commits. git rebase -i <commit_hash> Then changing to edit in the text editor. git push origin --force To force push my changes. This is just one of many ways I’ve tried. Any help would be appreciated, it’s driving me a little mad haha. Thanks, JP

I am also stuck on Step 5 and having trouble with the trigger. I have self-signed certs, an HTTP server listening on 443 (bound to 0.0.0.0) as well as a sniffer for anything coming from the target. I have tried to trigger the target to connect using: for i in {1..5}; do echo '{"Update":"1","ClientId":"AXG1337VFXL","Server Ip":"<KALI_IP>"}' | nc -u <TARGET_IP> 8080; sleep 2; done Can anyone point me in the right direction?
