Pn0x0b – The Aliens are coming!!! – Wifi Race Overview
So what is a Wifi race? Here’s the basic scenario. An off-the-shelf Linksys AP is mounted to a board and connected to a web server (also mounted on the board), both are plugged into an inverter stuck in the back seat of a car driving around downtown Nashville ( a.k.a. THE FOX). Our mission was [...]
Pn0x0b – The Aliens are coming!!! – ROOTWAR Overview
We’re all gonna be FOOd man! We made it back from PhreakNIC, mostly in one piece. I’ll try to go over the highlights over the next couple of days. So I know you’re all wondering, how did the RootWar go? Well… as it turned out no one registered for the RootWar. We had no teams, [...]
We HERE!!!
We made it to our hotel in Nashville about 9:00 last night. We would have made it sooner, but Adam made a wrong turn at the last minute, and we spent about 20 minutes driving around Nashville trying to find our way. We picked up a map of Nashville at a tourist center, but in [...]
Two Days…
We leave for PhreakNIC in two days. Everything is working out pretty well. It looks like there will be six of us going now. We’re also working on a strategy to participate in the Wifi-Race. We’re coming up with some decent hardware, though not incredible. I think we’ll rely mostly on dumb-luck, but it should [...]
Next Week is PhreakNIC
Next week is PhreakNIC!! I’ve been looking forward to this for months! I’ve been asked to help setup a couple of servers for the RootWars and I’ve got them mostly setup. I just got some update info from JeffX concerning the way the network will be setup, and I have a little tweaking I want [...]
Snort & Nagios
I put it off for awhile, but I finally got around to getting Snort up and running. It was actually pretty easy to get it working. Since I’m using OpenBSD all I had to do was: # pkg_add snort-2.6.0.2p1-mysql And then it was installed. I used Oinkmaster to download the rules I needed, and it [...]
RootThisBox
I was browsing the net and I found this site tonight. This looks similar to the challenge server available at Learn Security Online. You start off as rtb0, and then find the password for rtb1, rtb2, etc. Should be fun. So, anybody out there want to join in the fun?
Buffer Overflows for Dummies (no code, just basics)
I’ve spent quite a bit of time this weekend trying to write my own buffer overflow, but I haven’t quite got it yet. I understand the principles behind it, but the devil is in the details. In case you didn’t know what a buffer overflow is, here’s a quick/simple and probably not 100% accurate description. [...]
Level 8!
I did it!! I’m now a Level 8 Mod-X Agent!!! Level 7 required some ASM knowledge. Luckily I’ve been reading up a lot about assembly, so it didn’t take too long. Now I’m ranked at 451. The next level involves privilege elevation on a*nix server. This should be fun. I’ve done some challenges like this [...]
Mod-X
I made it to Level 7!!! A while back I ran across Mod-X and started going through their hacking challenges. I made it through levels 1-5 in a matter of days, and then came level6. I got stumped, then I got distracted and left it alone. Every now and then I come back to it [...]
