How I Broke Sedna (Or, VulnHub Sedna Walkthrough… sorta….)

Today we have something a little different.  While I was working on the Sedna VM from VulnHub as the next of the series by Viper, I wound up breaking the machine.  Yes, it’s a VM, so I could very easily delete it from VirtalBox, re-import it, and try again.  But I’m choosing to not do […]

VulnHub Quaoar Walkthrough

Hey everyone, For the next couple walkthroughs, I’ll be doing the HackFest 2016 series of VMs, Quaoar, Sedna, and Orcus.  Quaoar is the first in the series and also the easiest, so let’s start there! Be sure to check back for the writeups on Sedna and Orcus once I finish those, as well. As always, […]

VulnHub Stapler Walkthrough

First, before we get into the walkthrough of this VM, I’d like to make note that I apparently have really bad luck with VMs not working properly for me.  Over the last few weeks, I’ve tried a few different VMs to do my next walkthrough on.  So far, each of them have been buggy or […]

VulnHub Covfefe Walkthrough

Let’s get started as we usually do…   Recon Enumeration Same as how I usually start these: netdiscover to find the local IP address of the VM I’m working on, then nmap to […]

VulnHub Zico2 Walkthrough

Next in this walkthrough series is Zico2.  This one was a nice mix of challenging, learning new things, and satisfying to complete.  A friend of mine also has been giving me some feedback on my previous writeups, so I’m going to try to incorporate his suggestions (such as being more explicit with what flags on […]

VulnHub Mr Robot Walkthrough

For my second walkthrough for VulnHub VMs, I wanted to do the Mr Robot VM for 2 reasons: It was much more challenging than the LazySysAdmin VM. I’m also a fan of the show. I learned a lot from this one and, despite getting frustrated at times, still really enjoyed it and had fun.  Overall […]

VulnHub LazySysAdmin Walkthrough

Well, this blog hasn’t been updated in QUITE some time, so I thought I’d revive it and put it to use. I’m going to start doing write-ups of hacking VMs from the awesome site VulnHub.  To start this off, this post will be about the LazySysAdmin VM, which was fun, and pretty easy (with a […]
