I recently had a friend lose access to his Night Owl WNVR201 device. He said he lost his password, and I said I'd see what I could do. Through a long day of reverse engineering it, I found out how to reset the password on the device.
Ever wonder what Linux version is running on your machine? I commonly connect to friend's machines, or to one of my servers and I have no clue. This can make a huge difference, as some distributions use apt, and some use yum. There are two super helpful commands to accomplish figuring this out.
In my previous article about Hack The Box, we made an account on the site. In this article, we're going to be tackling the Bitlab box, which you can find the page for here
Because I always love to push the envelope, and love learning how different services work in the background, I find myself running into undocumented APIs fairly regularly. Through writing many random bots, I've come up with a pretty nice workflow for handling, and documenting these APIs.
This article is going to cover how I typically go about the endeavor of documenting unknown APIs.
In my last post, I walked us through connecting to OverTheWire's Bandit server, and completing level 0 and level 1. Following along with the previous article is a prerequisite to following this article, as you'll need to get the password from the file in level 1 first.
You can view my last post about this by following this link.
OverTheWire is a website with two games. One is "Wargames", which is a level based game, the other game is "Warzone", which is more of a free-for-all hacking game.
In this series of articles, I'm going to give a walkthrough of how to complete the "Bandit" series of levels on their website.
Hack The Box is a website that gives people a great place to test their penetration testing (hacking) skills. They have a selection of different machines available that are vulnerable to different types of attacks. This site uses the capture the flag scoring mechanism, where you hack machines, get a "flag" from them, and submit it to their site for points.
In this article, I'll cover how to make an account on HTB.
