Manual Exploitation

 Now this was a little misleading when they said this. I thought we would be going out and brute forcing or something like that. But instead, we used hydra and Metasploit to manually gain root access to while I expected more it was still really cool and let's face it we all should be using the tools out there.

This ^ is the hydra code.













And this ^ is me gaining root access again.

And why I think that's an advantage is because the company I started originally was designed to do research to find programs to help veteran business owners succeed, based on their demographics. This gave me a lot of experience in google search for one and for another thing I chose to do that because I actually enjoy the hunt of google. Getting lost in searches I don't know why I enjoy it, maybe because it gives me a chance to hyperfocus on something, I don't know. But anyways I am going to show some pictures on how I did it. I understand some think I go overboard on pictures but remember this blog is partially a note taking thing for me. I am using this as a way for ...

Sockets, Hydra and My very first port scanner

Image
 So we touched on Sockets on briefly, but we built our first port scanner. Now I decided to try both the 50-85 like the lesson taught then I went back and scanned all of them just out of curiosity. Let me tell you it took a while with as little processing power as my laptop has. But it was a fun lesson.  Socket above and Hydra Below Then below here is my first port scanner Feel Free to reach out on  LinkedIn  or  Twitter
