A Journey From `sudo iptables` To Local Privilege Escalation - Shielder https://www.shielder.com/blog/2024/09/a-journey-from-sudo-iptables-to-local-privilege-escalation/

📢 We’re now releasing weekly mass testing results 📢

https://mass.rev.ng

Here you can find a weekly report on using revng to decompile tons of binaries.

There’s information about crashes, timeouts and nice graphs.

Our goal is to now bring them all down week-by-week 🦾

Been doing a fun new reverse engineering project: Figuring out the file formats of the 1999 Windows/PS1 game Attack of the Saucerman. It's the first time I'm doing this on a 3D game. I'm now at a point where I can partially display the levels, and extract most of the assets:

I already made an attempt many many years ago, but was only armed with a hex editor at the time and couldn't make any sense of the data. (cont.)

Continuing the tour of my @github projects, the #TacticalExploitation toolkit deserves to be mentioned. It's now a bit old, but I believe the concept still applies, and very much so.

"The Other Way to Pen-Test" -- @hdm & @Valsmith

I've always been a big proponent of a tactical approach to #PenetrationTesting that doesn't focus on exploiting known software #vulnerabilities, but relies on #OldSchool techniques such as #InformationGathering and #BruteForce. While being able to appreciate the occasional usefulness of a well-timed 0day, as a veteran penetration tester I favor an exploit-less approach. Tactical exploitation provides a smoother and more reliable way of compromising targets by leveraging process vulnerabilities, while minimizing attack detection and other undesired side effects.

Since a few years, I've meant to give a talk on this very subject, with the working title of "Empty Phist Style - Hacking Without Tooling" (inspired by @thegrugq). Sooner or later it will happen.

In part 3 of his series on exploiting #Exchange #Powershell after ProxyNotShell, ZDI researcher @chudypb chains 3 bugs that lead to RCE, mainly by abusing the single-argument constructor conversions.

Someone asked me to explain the whole supply chain, shell company, pager scenario to them in simple, anyone terms. I said in a nutshell, the coyote and rest of us watching learned that the roadrunner owned the Acme company.
