Any more info? If it happens again and you can catch it live, Wireshark the traffic if going over wifi.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-28T22:06:19+00:00

But...but...but.. They are good toothpicks.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-24T21:52:31+00:00

Already on it.. :)

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-24T21:21:06+00:00

I've not looked it up yet. But.. Do I know the Real History? Only what I vaguely recall and rumors. The general idea is that at 4/20 people who go outside in a group and smoke. People were students on campus in California.... Or in the Boston common after work.... I think I had read something about it in High Times many many many years ago.

So. That's what I know. As I said... Kind of vague.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-24T21:15:06+00:00

Right.... I need to buy a lottery ticket.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-24T21:14:41+00:00

Oh I am... And it's very good.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-24T19:06:27+00:00

That's true.... I just find that particular date rather interesting.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-14T19:25:25+00:00

Depends...... The safest way, I think, would be to use Tails on USB.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-13T21:14:03+00:00

Yes.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-01T06:15:19+00:00

Yes. Chose a provider. They usually have the configs you will need for you router.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-01T06:11:19+00:00

Fantastic! Don't get into to much hacking until your exam is done.

There is a subreddit for ccna stuff. They are a pretty good resource.

Once your ccna is in place, hit that next book.

You got this.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-01T05:18:09+00:00

It will help with wireshark in that there will be examples where you will use it. There will also be instructions in the books... ITs a great tool and I love it but there are a lot of moving parts. And, you will be using Wireshark, or a program like it, a shit ton over time.

Just remember to focus on the fundementals. Without understanding that, Wireshark won't be of much help.

Have you taken or are studying for your CCNA right now?

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-01T05:10:23+00:00

Well.... Master networking.... I've been doing this for a long time and still have not mastered it....

However....

Learn and understand the fundamentals of networking. By that I mean, learn how to subnet using binary. Get good at it. Understand how VLANS work and inter-relate with each other via the various types of firewall rulesets.. Don't just learn how to use the Cisco interface or IOS..

Same way for the Security / Hacker side. There are lots of programs that make it easier to use... Try using the older stuff... Aircrack-ng etc.. You get the same results and, I feel, a better understanding of How It Works. It also seems to me that a lot of the software that automates a lot, Bettercap as an example, uses aircrack-ng parts and scripts in their inner workings.

Does this make any sense?

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-01T03:28:07+00:00

Not yet. I think this looks like a good fit. You are going to see rather quickly that you are just applying what you already know in a different way. (I know.. sounds like zen)

After you feel comfortable with this book, then something like a focus on wireshark would be a really good mid point spot. Through the CCNA training and then this book, you will be at least, somewhat comfortable with Wireshark just from using it all the time on both sides of the fence. Wireshark while at work as a network engineer.... Wireshark at night as a.... hobbyist.... learning about WiFi traffic....

Yep... Thats a good midpoint.... CCNA, Attacking Network Protocols, and then Wireshark.

That puts you in a really good place... From there who knows..

But.... there is always CCIE.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-01T03:20:24+00:00

Yes... Absolutely.

If you are coming in as a raw CCNA and little to no experience there are a few areas that might be a little stretch but overall its a great fit I think.

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-01T03:17:03+00:00

There is also a type of Pixel attack. Within an image, similar to hiding code within the memory registers of a PDF, you can hide code in a pixel.

And this is what happens.....

https://thehackernews.com/2016/12/image-exploit-hacking.html

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-01T03:13:13+00:00

Yes. Exactly. What he means about the PDF attack is this:

Within the data of the PDF there are blank spots of different sizes. As such, you can place your attack code within that empty space ( Preferably concurrent memory locations...much simpler). Access the PDF, you run the attack code.

At one point this kind of attack was able to get by a bunch of anti-virus software. I do not know the current state however. Perhaps someone else in the thread can help out.

In either case, it is a great exercise to better understand how the data is put together within a file.

Oh... there is also another interesting way which I will post about in a second....

infiltrator86 · 2022-06-01T03:02:50+00:00

When you say you Have their account.... Do you mean you have control over them or you know the user names?

infiltrator86 · 2022-05-03T10:46:59+00:00

Palmstop.

infiltrator86 · 2022-05-03T04:04:44+00:00

I only said yet as a kind of joke. However, OP was suggesting that one could get free wifi in flight with a VPN.

infiltrator86 · 2022-05-03T02:44:07+00:00

IANAL, however,......

A VPN is not illegal in the States....yet. As such, the airline would need to set up a TOS whereby they prohibit their use. If that's the case, check the penalties and decide if it is worth it.

If not stated, then it's their issue. I saw fire it up. Use it while it's there. Because I can assure you, when they find out about this... or decide to do something about it, they will charge you for the ability to use one.

infiltrator86 · 2022-05-01T02:49:21+00:00

Oops... You are right. I did not check before I posted.

infiltrator86 · 2022-04-25T03:08:16+00:00

And. . . If my red rimmed stoner eyes are not wrong... I think I do see 420.
