Sense was a HackTheBox machine that really tested my patience during the enumeration phase. It is a box designed around the popular pfSense firewall. Let's dive in! Firstly, we start our usual standard nmap scan: Starting Nmap 7.60 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-02-27 19:44 CET Nmap scan report for 10.10.10.60 Host is up (0.034s latency).… Continue reading HackTheBox Sense Write-up
HackTheBox Bashed Write-up
Bashed is a great entry-level box for people who are just getting started with HackTheBox. If you are just getting started with penetration testing, the value of this box is less in its technical content but rather in giving you the chance to exercise through your processes once. A bit like jumping into the water… Continue reading HackTheBox Bashed Write-up
HackTheBox Nibbles Write-up
Nibbles was one of the first machines I broke on HTB. It is a relatively simple machine that requires a little bit of reconnaissance and leads you to a (hopefully) easy win by letting you poke around the website. Let's dive in! First, we run a quick port scan: nmap -sS 10.10.10.75 -oX htb-nibbles.xml, which… Continue reading HackTheBox Nibbles Write-up
My New (old) Blog on Github Pages
After the exams, I had some free hours so I decided to show my blog some more love and look for a new theme. The old one, a customized version of Chunk was little more than a hack to have a theme at all. Here's a quick reminder of how this site used to look:… Continue reading My New (old) Blog on Github Pages
Goodbye Trip: Campana & Punta Chame
As most of my stories in Panama this trip starts with some new friends. At my workplace, the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá (UTP), I didn't have much contact with students, because I spent most of my time on campus inside an office. The international office of the uni was very engaged however and regularly asked… Continue reading Goodbye Trip: Campana & Punta Chame
Getting my Greens in Valle de Antón
Social Networks are awesome for traveling. By pure accident, I met some fellow viajeros - two awesome women from Israel and Poland. After a quick chat and meetup, we decided to spend our time in Valle de Antón. From colleagues, I already heard a lot about its natural beauty. Valle de Antón mountainside What has… Continue reading Getting my Greens in Valle de Antón
Strolling through the Park
Metropolitano entrance sign Since 1988 there is a park just on the outskirts of Panama City - El Parque Natural Metropolitano. It's the only wildlife refuge in the city and is host to an amazing variety of wildlife. There are no special attractions there. It's a place you just go to in a casual manner… Continue reading Strolling through the Park
Gamboa: Welcome to the Jungle
My sister and a colleague of hers decided to visit me in Panamà. Still being busy with the investigation, I did not manage to find a lot of time for travel during the week. However, on the weekends, we managed to make some small trips. One of them lead us into the jungle near the… Continue reading Gamboa: Welcome to the Jungle
Install Intel Graphics Drivers for Fedora 23
This is a thing I always forget and have to look up. My Dell XPS 13 (2013) runs on an Intel HD4000 and the drivers are obviously not in the standard repos. This script pulls the (at the time of this writing) most recent driver from the repos of the Intel Open Source Technology Centre.… Continue reading Install Intel Graphics Drivers for Fedora 23
A Trip to Paradise – Bocas del Toro
In travel magazines, you always see the same ad pictures. Crystal clear water gently stroking the white-sand beach bordered by palm trees. Deep cyan colours meet intense whites and greens. Amidst this paradisal scenery happily sits a woman drinking from a coconut, enjoying the sun. HARD CUT - company name appears. Guess what - I… Continue reading A Trip to Paradise – Bocas del Toro
