This research delves into large-scale malware analysis conducted by Elastic Security Labs, highlighting how Elastic ingest pipelines were used to filter out benign and duplicate data during dynamic malware analysis. By leveraging these pipelines, we efficiently managed vast datasets, enabling us to focus on identifying …

Today we will be taking a look at the medium box "Undetected" from Hack The Box. The foothold for the box can be found through a vulnerable php script in a directory that should not be world accessible. The script allows for remote code execution onto the box as the www-data user. We then escalate to user by …

Welcome to my Hack The Box walkthrough for the "Meta" box. The box is considered to be of medium difficulty. Meta requires you to perform DNS virtual host enumeration, identify the inner workings of an image upload functionality, and exploit this to get a foothold. We then find a vulnerable version of …

Today we will be taking a look at Timing from Hack the Box. Timing is considered to be of medium difficulty, and requires the usage of a local file inclusion to eventually find credentials for the box. We then find an application that we can run with sudo permissions, and misuse it to gain root access. Foothold Let's …

Hello everyone, today we are going to take a look at Unicode from Hack The Box. Unicode is a medium box that involves JWT manipulation, local file inclusion and a custom made application that can be used to access the root flag. Foothold As usual, we start off with an nmap scan to enumerate all ports, services and …

Today we will be taking a look at "Shibboleth" from Hack the Box. To get get a foothold onto the box we first exploit the vulnerable-by-design IPMI protocol to obtain an administrator hash for Zabbix, and crack it. Through Zabbix we can execute local commands and obtain a shell. We can then use a recent …

Welcome to my walkthrough for the "Backdoor" machine from Hack The Box. Backdoor is considered to be an easy box. We get a foothold onto the box through the exploitation of a vulnerable web service running at an unusual port. We can then escalate privileges through a screen session that was still open, which …
