A Complex-Powerful-Hybrid Processor - THE MIND

Hello guys, this post are not related to information security. It was an incident which happened yesterday to me. After it got finished I deeply analyzed it. Yesterday I went to job. My job is to take care 70 year old grandpa. Usually we got to 3 walk and come back. Then I serve them his dinner and I leave the house. 

Yesterday I reached at home around 4.45 pm in noon. I put bag near the artificial kitchen of little girl. She used to play and cook in her kitchen. Baby is 2 year old. That little girl has 2 elder brothers having age of 4 year old and 3 year old. These 3 children are very naughty. Baby is cute and very clever. Boys are funny, naught and lazy. Usually after coming from home they do not keep their stuff at their proper place. One of the elder brother's school bag is 90% identical to my college bag. Now what happened is at that day I left my bag at that toy kitchen. Boys use to remove their bags, shoes over there after coming home from the school. 

Network Intelligence Gathering

This article is all about different information-gathering techniques on the network. It is the most essential and important task of attackers. Knowing the opponents and their interests can be valuable. Here I am going to show you which are the different ways and techniques one can do the network information/intelligence gathering.

INTRODUCTION

Let’s think of any thrilling movie theft. What do robbers do before they break into the bank or anything else? They gather information. They collect each and every bit of information about the bank system, alarm methodology, CCTV interface, the guards’ changing time, and a list of weapons that the guards have. After gathering information they make plans and attack or rob the bank. Assume they don’t have this information and they rob the bank directly. What will happen? You will find that they are caught by the police.

The same scenario can also be applied in the information security world. Before attacking or testing something, a hacker/tester needs to find information about his/her target. This target can be a network, web application, organization, or person. In our world, finding information is also called footprinting or doxing. Also, the word “reconnaissance” can be used sometimes.

Cyber Security Tips - Mind Map

Hi guys, I thought to make one big mind map of new comers in security fields as well all students and non-matured techies. This mind map will teach them how to be safe online and how not to get hacked. So Enjoy this mind map and share this link wherever you wish.

Transmitting Data Via Hidden Form Fields

It is pretty obvious thing that web application passes data to user in different form. Its not the only one way transaction,sometimes user also need to parse the data to the server in form of login credentials, registration, file upload etc..

One way of transmitting data which are not modifiable directly at client side is Hidden HTML Form Fields. While creating a webpage some fields are created in with hidden type so that it wont be appear at client side but everyone will be interacting with that indirectly. To illustrate this lets take an example.

Let's suppose any online purchasing website. If customer is going to buy a product then only modifiable value at client side will be quantity only. How much quantity a customer is going to buy that has to be filled by client only. If customer selects quantity 2 so there will be a function at client side that price will be multiplied by the quantity and will be displayed on the screen. Thus how whole payment transaction is carried away. In this case price field's value is written hidden type in html page rather than normal one. Because website owner does not want customer to change prize it has to be static. So that remains hidden not modifiable.

CyberCrime - From A Different View Point

Many of you are already familiar with cyber crime. I am just going to share which are the areas in cyber crime that one should keep in mind apart from only hacking and bank fraud. These areas are also called as "Traditional Crime Techniques".

In this article I am going to compare traditional crime techniques to the cyber crime techniques and methodologies. We will come to know how common is that in the real world and how hacker got an idea of doing digital crime by analyzing real world traditional crime.

Information Gathering - Why? How? & What?

Lets suppose any thriller stealing movie. Think what does robbers do before they hack the bank or anything else? They gather the information. They collect each and every information about bank system, alarm methodology, CCTV interface, Guards changing time, list of weapons having with guards.After gathering information they make plan and attack or rob the bank. You all are clever. So assume they don't have these much of information and they are going to rob bank directly, what will happen ? You will find them caught with by police.

Same scenario also applied in information security world. Before attacking or testing something a hacker/tester needs to find the information about his/her target. Now this target can be a network, web application, organization or a person. In our world finding information is also called as footprinting or doxing. Also the term reconnaissance can be used sometimes.

Juicy Areas of Web Application For Pentesters

In this tutorial I am going to write small things which everyone knows already but I am trying to convey it in another manner of checklist. I am going to talk on some juicy areas for pen tester. Mainly it will be focusing on fingerprinting concept. While doing fingerprinting of any website, which are the areas mainly a pen tester or web application security analyst should target at high priority.

First thing to check is the server name and the version information. This information is really helpful to pen testers because older versions have already exploits in market. So If they got older server version they can directly check whether that exploit is working or not.

Python Service Banner Grabbing Script

Hello Guys I have written some small banner grabbing script in python. It is very simple and basic. By using this script you can check the services any network or domain. You will be able to know which services as well as version of service they are using.

In our penetration testing we do some nmap or other port scanning. After we come to know that these much of ports are opened, we try to find the version of service they are using. We do that in order to find  if there is any direct exploit available or not. So in this case this little code will help you to find out the version of services.

Its just basic script which does FTP, HTTP banner grabbing.
