Metasploit Exploitation Thanks TryHackMe and #strategos. The training on metasploit exploitation was quite insightful. Below are some takeaways for me: • I now better understand how to use #Metasploit to find and #exploit potential #vulnerabilities on target systems. • I have also learned how the database capability can assist with penetration testing engagements that involve numerous potential targets.   • I gained familiarity with #msfvenom and creating standalone Meterpreter #payloads. This is especially useful when I can upload or download files to the destination system. #Meterpreter is a robust tool with user-friendly features for #post-exploitation. The offensive security page on Metasploit Unleashed (https://lnkd.in/di3tHhdj) was beneficial reference material.

Hello everyone, I hope all is well. Today I was able to complete the Diamond Model room. The room covers: - What is the Diamond Model? "The model describes that an adversary deploys a capability over some infrastructure against a victim. These activities are called events and are the atomic features. Analysts or machines populate the model’s vertices as events are discovered and detected." -  Sergio Caltagirone, Andrew Pendergast, and Christopher Betz in 2013. Adversary: Is an attacker, an enemy, someone who is looking to do harm against a victim. There are two categories when looking at our adversaries: Adversary Operator: The person who performs the hack that would cause some type of intrusion activity. Adversary Customer: The person or entity that will benefit from the hack. It may be the same person or a group. Then you have victims: Victim – "Is a target of the adversary. A victim can be an organization, person, target email address, IP address, domain, etc. It's essential to understand the difference between the victim persona and the victim assets because they serve different analytic functions." - #TryHackMe There are two different categories when looking at a victim: Victim Personae: Are the people being targeted Victim Assets: Are the attack surfaces Capability – "Is also known as the skill, tools, and techniques used by the adversary in the event. The capability highlights the adversary’s tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)." - "". As an advsersay part of your job is to find the capability capacity of your target and use your adversary arsenal to attack the target. This room also covers Type 1 Infrastructure which is owned by the adversary and Type 2 Infrastructure which is controlled by intermediary. In the room we can also find information on Service Providers which are organizations that provide services of Type 1 and Type 2 infrastructure which are critical for the adversary. Finally in this room it covers: - Event Meta Features - Timestamp, Phase, Result, Direction, Methodology, and Resources. - Social-Political Component - Does the adversary attack for financial gain, gaining acceptance in the hacker community, and etc. - Technology Component - The relationship between capability and infrastructure. Please give this room a try if you have not already. Have a great day everyone! 🖖

We are surrounded by numbers everywhere. In fact, it's hard for us to think of the world without numbers: scores, economic indexes, measures and weights, mathematical formulas, algorithms - these are all made up of numbers. We're so used to using numbers to describe our reality, so why not use them to secure it? Hyver quantifies cyber risk with precision, turning abstract data into numbers that guide your security strategy. Don’t just assess it, quantify it >> https://lnkd.in/gM4Gvf9X

Coming soon: Silhouette the social media you don't put your real information on as it will be intentionally hackable. A place to prove, a place to show off, a place to teach and learn something new, the ability to interconnect with a user name only. We will verify that pictures and videos aren't AI produced and we will have a hacker Hall of Fame for acknowledgements. We will recreate your attacks and run them so if you are a theory person, instead of a get my hands dirty person you may be made to look wrong. What works in practice is very different to what manuals for systems say they can do to protect themselves many character sanitations, rate limiters, firewalls, OS defense and more aren't configured or built correctly and are bypassed simply. The future of online businesses are on social media. Let's build a platform to hone our skills as scrapes and metadata extractions are invaluable.
