Turkey Express Mini CTF

Turkey Express Mini CTF

Since I have taken Antisyphon training in the past, I am on their email list. I noticed that I received an email from them on November 21st about their Turkey Express Mini CTF. I know about their cyber range but never signed up for it, even though I was curious. Since they released this CTF, I will treat this as a sample for their cyber range. It may not be fair, but I do not have anything to go on. Challenges When I signed up for their CTF, I was delighted to see there were …

Attacking Cisco IOS Device

Cisco IOS-related CVEs get announced consistently, but we will not be exploring any of those in this article. I will, however, demonstrate that attacking a Cisco IOS device is possible with SNMP misconfiguration. If interested, I covered another attack on a Cisco IOS device running HSRP here. I included this exercise on our Paradise Lost: Red Team versus Blue Team event during our CyberFest 2021. Unfortunately, only the blue team members touched this node. The red team focused on …

In the previous article, we found the ransomware key, and now we are on the hunt for the Windows AD domain controller to decrypt the research data, which also contains the flag. In this article, we will concentrate on the host named Cayenne. Discovery Since we already performed host discovery, we do not need to do it again. However, we need to figure out which ones are Windows-based hosts out of the three left. The quickest way to figure out if a host is running Windows is by pinging, …

Exploiting PrintNightmare

07/11/2021 by Andrew Roderos Leave a Comment

I am pretty sure that everyone in IT has heard of PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-1675) by now. Most, if not all, of the organizations, have installed KB5004947. However, that patch comes with caveats. On Friday, my colleague, who created the Kaos Corp CTF scenario, reached out to me to let me know that I can exploit the PrintNightmare vulnerability with his test VM, running Windows 2019 Server with the patch. I ran into a few obstacles, so I decided to build a VM locally …

Kaos Corp: Habanero

06/17/2021 by Andrew Roderos Leave a Comment

As mentioned in my previous article, our first internal CTF included an offensive security category called Kaos Corp. Since there are multiple hosts in the environment, it's better to break it into a series. In this article, we will concentrate on the host with a hostname of Habanero. Scenario You are a security lead at a renowned University directly supporting the prestigious Scoville Lab. It is a research institute focused on leveraging unprecedented biotechnology techniques to advance …
