Как наказать цифрового воробья или как я проходил таск PigeonsRevenge от платформы ACLabs.pro
Данный таск был частью 5 сезона CTF, который проходил на площадке ACLabs. Машина необычная с увлекательным сюжетом и интересными уязвимостями. Условие задачи: Борис — старый почтовый голубь. Катя, его голубка, улетела к наглому Воробью. Три дня Борис пил дешёвое пойло и строчил план мести. Теперь этот план у тебя. Помоги Борису пробраться в цифровое гнездо Воробья, украсть его аккаунт и стать рутом. Следуй за пьяными записками — там всё сказано и даже больше. Внимание, стенд будет полностью готов только по истечении обратного времени отсчета, даже если адрес появился раньше! Цепочка атаки Атакующая цепочка «PigeonsRevenge» комбинирует одну реальную критическую CVE (Webmin 1.910 — CVE-2019-15107, 9.8 CRITICAL) с набором классических техник ATT&CK : активная разведка → port knocking → эксплуатация публичного приложения → Metasploit reverse-shell → туннелирование Ligolo-ng → инъекция через переменную окружения в кастомный бинарник → обход фильтра табуляцией → закрепление с root -привилегиями.

Lateral movement w Active Directory z wykorzystaniem WinRM
Lateral movement (często tłumaczony jako ruch boczny) w środowiskach Active Directory bardzo rzadko opiera się na podatnościach w rozumieniu tych dostępnych w ramach bazy CVE. W praktyce znacznie częściej jest to konsekwencja nadużycia wbudowanych mechanizmów administracyjnych, które zostały zaprojektowane z myślą o automatyzacji i zdalnym zarządzaniu systemami z rodziny Windows....

Having some trouble updating BashCore on bookworm before it fades into oblivion.
Planning to release both BashCore and BashCoreX with kernel 6.1 and the very last updates (Metasploit is giving me headaches).
The fun part? I’m using BashCoreTX via SSH into BashCore for debugging, all running on VirtualBox.

Используем Python и metasploit для автоматизации рутинных задач эксплуатации
Эксплуатация уязвимостей — это не обязательно тысяча ручных шагов. Особенно, если есть Python и Metasploit. В этой статье я расскажу, как автоматизировать атаку и постэксплуатацию так, чтобы всё работало, а вы — отдыхали.

🎯 NOW PUBLISHING: On-Location Coverage from #BlackHatUSA 2025!
We're back in the office and excited to start sharing all the conversations we captured on location in Las Vegas with our amazing sponsors and editorial coverage!

We're honored to share this eye-opening Brand Story conversation thanks to our friends at runZero 🙏
The Often-Overlooked Truth in #Cybersecurity: Seeing the Unseen in Vulnerability Management
Most successful breaches don't happen because defenders ignored known vulnerabilities. They happen because attackers exploited assets that organizations never knew existed.
HD Moore, founder and CEO of runZero and creator of #Metasploit, reveals the uncomfortable truth: organizations routinely miss half their actual attack surface. Through decades of penetration testing high-security environments, Moore discovered that traditional discovery methods only find properly managed systems while #shadowIT, legacy hardware, and misconfigured devices remain invisible.
Key insights from our conversation:
• When using attacker-grade discovery techniques, asset counts typically DOUBLE what organizations thought they had
• The industry's CVE obsession creates false security while real attacks exploit misconfigurations and zero-days
• Unknown assets—from IoT devices to forgotten servers—bypass even sophisticated security controls
• Traditional agent-based tools can't see what attackers see
#RunZero inverts the traditional model by starting with unauthenticated discovery that mirrors how attackers actually probe networks. This reveals the true attack surface and transforms vulnerability management from reactive patching to strategic risk reduction.

Metasploit on BashCoreT: LoadError - cannot load such file: parallel.
Translation: “Nice build you have there… shame if something happened to it.” 😅
Time to tear it down and start over...

@stux heh, yeah the msf folks are pretty fast :D
years ago i used to chill in #metasploit on freenode with them all and it was super awesome to be part of the discussion when a new thing landed.
it was SUPER SUPER COMMON for some crazy bullshit vuln to land at like 9pm on a friday night, and we'd spend all weekend screwing around making payloads.
the good ol days :D

Honestly, 50 tools should be more than enough.
Who really tests all 600+ tools in Kali or the 2,500+ in BlackArch?
I tried... but some BlackArch tools didn’t even run properly...In BashCore and BashCoreX, every app works.
No duplicates. No junk. Just tools that actually run.Yes, the ISOs are ~7GB,
but we’ve got Metasploit, Searchsploit, and especially SecLists (which weighs a ton) 🤷🏻♂️#BashCore #BashCoreX #Debian #Pentesting #NoBloat #BlackArch #KaliLinux #SecLists #Metasploit

Go beyond just using Metasploit – learn to build with it.
This comprehensive 2nd Edition guides you with foundational commands through porting public exploits (Chapter 12), building your own modules in Ruby (Chapter 13), and even fuzzing for novel vulnerabilities (Chapter 14).
Elevate individual skills while enriching the broader field. #Metasploit #InfoSec #ExploitDev #CyberSecurity
