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

BASIC 8

Server-Side Includes (SSI) Injection:

SSIs are directives present on Web applications used to feed an HTML page with dynamic contents

SSI my detailed medium post:

Hi, au12ha39vc.php index.php level8.php tmp! Your name contains 39 characters.

BASIC 9

Level 9 has no input field and all the levels ara in the same directory so:

come back to level 8 :

<! — #exec cmd=”ls ../../9" →

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?

API Bug Bounty Hunting: Reconnaissance and Reverse Engineering an API

  In order to target APIs, you must first be able to find them.APIs meant for consumer use are meant to be easily discovered. Typically, the API provider will market their API to developers who want to be consumers. So, it will often be very easy to find APIs, just by using a web application as an end-user. The goal here is to find APIs to attack and this can be accomplished by discovering the API itself or the API documentation.
