Fuffme - Install Web Fuzzing Target on Debian

Web fuzzers can find unlinked, hidden directories. They can also find vulnerabilities in query parameters.

This article shows you how to install ffufme pratice target and ffuf, the leading web fuzzer.

Find Hidden Web Directories - Fuzz URLs with ffuf

Web servers often have secret directories, not linked from anywhere.

You could find them by trying different paths manually: /secret, /.svn /admin. This article shows you how fuff can do this to you automatically.

For practice, I coded a target that you can run locally, without Internet. I will also tell you the solution, so you can test your environment. As bonus, there is a challenge target where you can find to solution yourself.

Crack File Password With John

Many file formats support encryption with a password. John the Ripper can crack these passwords with dictionary attack.

This article teaches you to obtain Jumbo version and compile it. Finally, you'll test your environment by cracking a ZIP archive password. A sample password protected ZIP file is provided with this article.

Red Teaming with Niklas

An APT (advanced persistent treath) is out to get you.

  • Your system, not just any system.
  • Not getting in? Try again.
  • Got in? Install backdoors and stay.

For hard targets that have done their pentests and audits, someone has to simulate APT attacks to test the defenses.

That someone is Niklas. He runs a red team in F-Secure, and has broken into many networks. And stayed there.

Niklas visits my pentest course tomorrow, w48 Tue 2021-11-30. I have some extra seats, email me to get one.
