BASIC 7

  • cal command is the key
  • After a lot of searches, I found this https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/general-10/unix-cal-command-in-an-odd-situation-370968/
  • The website has set up a script that returns the output from the UNIX cal command. So in the input box, I could type ‘2005’ and hit enter, and it would run the cal command and that year, then return the output on the webpage to view that calendar
  • There is a file (which I don't know the name of) in that dir where the cal command is executed, what would be a possible way to enter something in that text box to find out what the name of it is?
  • Just “ ls ” or “ls -la ” wouldn't work
  • [ cal 2001, cal -y, cal -j ] : this is what happens when we type a year or a flag like “-y” (cal) so type:

2022; ls

  • and it worked
  • Completed

Bug Boundy Methodology, Tools & Resources

Start by defining a clear objective, such as exploiting a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability or bypassing authentication on your target. Then, consider how you can achieve this goal using various attack vectors like XSS, SSRF, or others - these are simply tools to help you reach your objective. Use the target as how a normal user would, while browsing keep these questions in mind: 1)How does the app pass data? 2)How/where does the app talk about users? 3)Does the app have multi-tenancy or user levels? 4)Does the app have a unique threat model? 5)Has there been past security research & vulnerabilities? 6)How does the app handle XSS, CSRF, and code injection?

pip error in Kali Linux: error: externally-managed-environment : SOLVED

 error: externally-managed-environment × This environment is externally managed ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install     python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to     install.     If you wish to install a non-Kali-packaged Python package,     create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.     Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make     sure you have pypy3-venv installed.     If you wish to install a non-Kali-packaged Python application,     it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a     virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.     For more information, refer to the following:     * https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/python3-external-packages/     * /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contac...
