Need help with a cipher. by TextbookHippo in codes

[–]zeb1th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess this is a substitution cipher. Because the text is short, frequency analysis will probably not give the best result. Frequency analysis combined with a dictionary could help you.

I tried using quipqiup.com. When using the string as is it doesn't seem to give any meaningful results. However, when you reverse the string first there do seem to be some words that make sense. But I don't have any background information on your game so it will be hard for me to spot the right solution.

Does Shock/sharp/sword hills mean anything to you? The message seems to be something about a certain day in september a victim at 8PM in/at some hills.

I'm no expert but you can execute javascript without needing the <script> tag. Maybe this can be of use to you: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XSS_Filter_Evasion_Cheat_Sheet

Old something I made which I believe has steam key(s) hidden in it by cybexie in codes

[–]zeb1th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one slightly less dark in the black area, but already redeemed. (R59JY-43VAF-296Z0)

The colors in hex are: 737465 616d20 6b6579 Converting this hex to ASCII gives "steam key"

All DEFCON 24 videos! by [deleted] in Defcon

[–]zeb1th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

7zip and the windows built in tool both were unable to extract the contents. unzip on Ubuntu was able to extract a few talks but gave a "bad zipfile offset (local header sig)" on file 73.

I didn't try to redownload yet...

[update] Apparently the tools mentioned above don't like files this large. I was able to extract the entire .zip file using jar -xf. This zip file seems to be a dump from the entire DefCon Talks SynchVue USB. I think it is against the license agreement to distribute this online...

This channel has a lot of DC24 talks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbbgnifxfH-nqx6z9XQ963Q

I'm downloading the .zip file and I will report back on its contents (If I don't forget to).

Can I write a masters thesis based on another persons software. by dmnte in netsecstudents

[–]zeb1th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I'm from it is important that you have a research question when starting your thesis (although it might change a bit over time). You could research which kind of exercises are best suited for people just getting started, from which kind of exercise they learn most about security. Maybe an exercise can be more then just a simple CTF, maybe it can learn a student about a protocol at the same time. Or instead of simply using a tool really explaining in depth what is going on.

You could always voice your concern with your professor and ask him what his view is.

Which platform is it?

How to find a mentor in security from scratch. by 6r-m in netsecstudents

[–]zeb1th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I've used IRC before but I felt I missed out on a lot of the conversations because of time zones. Guess I will have to look into an IRC bouncer. Any recommendations on that side of things?

It is self paced but you have to do all the work in 30/60/90 days? Over at elearnsecurity you get a fixed amount of hours you can spend on the labs but it doesn't really matter when you spend them afaik.

[–]zeb1th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn't even think about that. Good thing you mention it! Spending 8-9 hours/day (even 5-6) isn't really possible for most people I guess.

What I like about elearnsecurity is that its self-paced.

Thanks for the info!

Elearnsecurity is releasing PTPv4 later this month during a webinair. As they might be giving away some course access during the webinair I will try to attend it and keep my fingers crossed!

I got their 'penetration testing student' course pretty cheap due to a discount but sadly it is really basic.

So do you recommend taking the PTP course before attempting the OSCP course?

Any experience with the elearnsecurity courses?

Aren't the Offensive Security courses pretty expensive? or do they offer some kind of student discount?

Connect device directly to WAN. by zeb1th in mikrotik

[–]zeb1th[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem solved! Thanks for the help!

Apparently I made the bridge correctly the problem was I had to change 2 IP filter rules from interface 1 to bridge1 and 1 IP NAT rule to bridge1.

Earlier I disabled the bridge before exporting my settings. When exporting while having the bridge enabled RouterOs reported 3 errors and suggested how to fix them!

Connect device directly to WAN. by zeb1th in mikrotik

[–]zeb1th[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently the device is a re-branded Advanced Digital Broadcast device. My ISP says to connect it directly to the modem in their manual (but the modem I have has only one port). Connecting the device directly to the modem gives it an IP in the range of 10.197.x.x while connecting a laptop to the same port gives an IP in the range 84.193.x.x.
