Capture The Flag

Let’s tackle Crack The Hash, another TryHackMe room full of hash-cracking challenges. If you’d like a video walkthrough, then see the linked video below for a full guide to Crack The Hash. Quickly, what is a hash and hashing in general? “Hashing serves the purpose of ensuring integrity, i.e. making it so that if something is changed you can know that it’s changed. Technically, hashing takes arbitrary input and produce a fixed-length string…” — Daniel Miessler, Hashing vs....

Welcome back to another TryHackMe room, the challenge today is Agent Sudo. No spoilers below within the hints, just some good ol’ fashion hints to help you out on your agent sudo journey. For more detail, with some spoilers, see the steps section, and for everything I did, see my notes. If you prefer a video walkthrough, well that’s linked below, and if you want my personal thoughts on the room, check out the reflection via the video....

Let’s go for another TryHackMe room, this time we’re tackling OhSINT, which begs the question “are you able to use open-source intelligence to solve this challenge?” This was a fun, different room for me, I love the idea of OSINT and using the web to solve challenges. Despite having a few initial issues along the way, it was fun to answer “what information can you possible get with just one photo?...

Welcome back to TryHackMe, this time it’s SimpleCTF… or as I’d call it ‘Not So SimpleCTF’… as I had a few issues getting this CTF to work. Let’s dive into it.

CVE-****-**** don’t forget to include CVE- at the beginning. To what kind of vulnerability is the application vulnerable?...

I’m still on the Complete Beginner learning path from TryHackMe, so this is my first venture outside into their library of CTF’s. This is a beginner ‘easy’ game, their description reads a CTF for beginners, can you root me? If you’re unaware, root means top-level access, like super admin or master-of-everything.
