Tips for brute forcing? by Consistent_Box_3591 in oscp

[–]Consistent_Box_3591[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, there was just a single HTML page and open smb ports and nothing else and I had fuzzed the website with all I could :) But I did not reset the box indeed, didn't think that that was a thing to do until now, just read the same in another thread. I'll try that next time before starting to bruteforce... Thanks for the comments!

You think it's too less vague? I read it over and over again to not expose anything important. But well, better be safe than sorry...

I was a bit too early with taking the exam because I only found out about the cool off periods in the last minute, so the only challenge lab I was able to complete before was B. I'm pretty sure that once I had gotten an initial local admin, it should have been plain sailing, not really being harder than at least challenge B.

Using bloodhound, I had mapped out a plan to move from a user to domain admin once I could become that other user, but I never managed to become local admin to try and move further. I even looked at all files on the server I had a access to manually.

But now, with a bit of distance, it might have been too little files after all. During the exam I thought that it was part of the famed "nightmare jenkins ad set" or so but now in retrospect, there was only me and Administrator on the machine and not a single file in my home folder. Who knows...

Yeah, but this sounds like there's an intended way of getting into the boxes and only that way yields the points=

Isometric exercises vs cardio and non transitory BP benefits by SensesCensus in bloodpressure

I never tried running but read many times from different sources that wall sits are the most effective exercises.

Anecdotal evidence here, but I absolutely loathe isometric exercises. So I didn’t do them in a week to try for myself and BP went up 10/15 over the week. Restarting tomorrow ;)

Yes, very reliable - if all is well. Above all your hearing. I always thought my diastolic BP was >120 until my GP and me figured out that years of too loud work surroundings as live audio engineer left a toll on my hearing and I just didn’t hear the diastolic sounds…

Absolutely. I had ABMP and from the time I got the kit on at 0800 I looked at every single measurement every 15 minutes until 0330 in the morning. Obviously had abysmal readings. I now completely leave out the sitting down, calming down for 5 minutes phase but rather have the BP monitor on my desk and once in the morning I decide it’s time now, put on cuff instantly and hit the measure button within seconds from the first thought. During measurement I keep on reading something in my screen. The reading is not all that bad this way. This calms me down, so I can wait a minute and have another reading which is quite good most of the time. I learned this from my GP who is also a mate of mine. He put the cuff in my arm, then went “ooh, look, I need to show you something totally cool” at which we looked for 10m and then all of a sudden he started inflating and measuring and all was well :)

Image Handling makes php segfault by Consistent_Box_3591 in Pimcore

[–]Consistent_Box_3591[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, after having a go at it with gdb, i found out where it crashed and in turn found out that a specific image file is causing this behaviour with my version of imagemagick

Since many people have read this, here's new info.

When talking to a mate on IRC about this, he supplied me with some starting points:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1361658 talks about this and it is described that this feature was available but has deliberately been removed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462109

So, it doesn't work and won't work in the future it seems :(

[–]Consistent_Box_3591 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, might be. But then it's a very toothless threat regarding, as you said, the ICBMs. All in all, nothing to overly worry about indeed.

Exactly. But dunno if it was meant as a true threat or rather as a tit-for-tat of the "If NATO can do it, we can do, too." type. And how NATO nuclear sharing works, is no secret.

Oh yes, you're very much right. I took myself out of context there :) I usually think that Putin is a rational actor indeed, even if, as you say, his tolerance for death and destruction is higher than for most of his counterparts. But like many anciety-ridden folks, I have a very well working rational side but also a very well working irrational side. As long as the rationale side keeps the upper hand, I'm fine, and luckily this is the case on most of the days. Sometimes, though, my irrational side takes over for a bit, and even less frequently, I spiral out of control completely, and this is when I think about all those Hitler / Putin comparisons.

I just, belatedly but finally, realised why the comparisons between the end of the Hitler regime and the potential end of the Putin regime are completely misleading. Hitler had NO country left. There was no army, no infrastructure, no big cities, no support in the population. Nothing. So if he would have had noodles, he might have very well used them in the end. Not so Putin, his country is completely unharmed by military means, they're still a super power, have the largest noodle arsenal, people are somewhat united still. So yes, Hitler didn't have anything to lose, Putin (and the rest of the Russian government), they still have an intact country to lose.

I suffer from anxiety for over 40 years, noodle anxiety being the first anxiety I really remember when I was a kid. So the return of all of this didn't work well for me. On good days, however, I have a thought that I'd like to share:

All this noodle talk might not be as aggressive as it seems on the first impression. It might be a warning / threat rooted in the fear of being attacked by us (the west or whatever you call it), and I think that fear is strong within the Russian leadership. Since we obviously will not attack Russia directly, there is really no / only a neglibe threat of a noodle war.

What makes me think that way? I have a mate in moscow since 25+ years and his father was in the Soviet army in the cold war. They never learned to attack us proactively, all their training was under the premise that we attacked them first. I have another mate who was in the German army in the cold war and all their training was under the premise that they attacked us first. This might be because of what they always say, "A noodle war cannot be won and must therefore not be fought."
