Comprehensive: Journey of a Hacker 2012 Vol-(I) from Intermediate Hacker to Elite Hacker Comprehensive: Journey of a Hacker 2012 Vol-(I) From Intermediate Hacker To Elite Hacker. By Scryptaxxeler A guide for those who want to be an Elite but can’t get the right direction. Disclaimer: This is work of pure plagiarism. It will be difficult to give reference to all those from whose works I am going to plagiarize. However some parts will be work of me any anyone can copy and distribute it as is. This will give an insight into the dark world of hackers, which will include much info regarding breaking and breaching of cyber crime laws. This is not to be used for Illegal purpose. But is intended for the letting the common people, System Administrators know where lies the weakest link. Remember, the chain is as weak as the weakest link. About: This book is intended to provide information on how to become an elite hacker. It’s much more than the CEH courses that are provided for script kiddies. Brief overviews of the included topics are: The volume-1 is the Intermediate Level Hackers Book To hacking which includes: Metasploit Framework Burp Suite, W3AF Framework,etc. How bank accounts are hacked. Social Engineering Toolkit The volume-2 is the the Level where Hackers doesn’t rely on exploiting tools, he writes it himself which includes: Sandbox Evasions. Programming skills for a Hacker. Reversing to the Level Of Assembly. Heap Spraying, Use after Free, Stack Overflow. Deciphering the cookie and much more. PART-I The hackers Framework Chapter 1:Setting up a pentest edition of Linux. Chapter 2:The Metasploit Framework Chapter 3:Web Security:The Burp Suite and W3AF Chapter 4:Social Engineering Tools Chapter 1: Setting up a Penetration Testing Edition of Linux. This chapter is intended to introduce to a penetration distribution of Linux. I will be discussing details of the Backtrack 5.But you guys can check NodeZero and Ubuntu Pentest Edition. Lets begin then. Backtrack: BackTrack is intended for all audiences from the most savvy security professionals to early newcomers to the information security field. BackTrack promotes a quick and easy way to find and update the largest database of security tools collection to-date. Our community of users range from skilled penetration testers in the information security field, government entities, information technology, security enthusiasts, and individuals new to the security community. Feedback from all industries and skill levels allows us to truly develop a solution that is tailored towards everyone and far exceeds anything ever developed both commercially and freely available. The project is funded by Offensive Security. Whether you’re hacking wireless, exploiting servers, performing a web application assessment, learning, or social-engineering a client, BackTrack is the one-stop-shop for all of your security needs. BackTrack Clean Hard Drive Install This method of installation is the simplest available. The assumption is that the whole hard drive is going to be used for BackTrack. 1. Boot BackTrack on the machine to be installed. Once booted, type in “startx” to get to the KDE graphical interface. 2. Double click the “install.sh” script on the desktop, or run the command “ubiquity” in console. 3. Select your geographical location and click “forward”. Same for the Keyboard layout. 4. The next screen allows you to configure the partitioning layout. The assumption is that we are deleting the whole drive and installing BackTrack on it. 5. Accept the installation summary and client “Install”. Allow the installation to run and complete. Restart when done. 6. Log into BackTrack with the default username and password root / toor. Change root password. 7. Fix the framebuffer splash by typing “fix-splash” ( or “fix-splash800″ if you wish a 800×600 framebuffer), reboot. BackTrack Dual Boot Install with Windows (Tested on Win 7) This method of installation is the simplest available. The assumption is that the you have a Windows installation taking up all the space on your drive, and you would like to resize and repartition your drive to allow a BackTrack install alongside your Windows. BACK UP YOUR WINDOWS INSTALLATION FIRST. 1. Boot BackTrack on the machine to be installed. Once booted, type in “startx” to get to the KDE graphical interface. 2. Double click the “install.sh” script on the desktop, or run the command “ubiquity” in console. 3. Select your geographical location and click “forward”. Same for the Keyboard layout. 4. The next screen allows you to configure the partitioning layout. The assumption is that we are resizing the Windows 7 partition and installing BackTrack on the newly made space. 5. Accept the installation summary and client “Install”. Allow the installation to run and complete. Restart when done. 6. Grub should allow you to boot both into BackTrack and Windows. 7. Log into BackTrack with the default username and password root / toor. Change root password. 8. Fix the framebuffer splash by typing “fix-splash” ( or “fix-splash800″ if you wish a 800×600 framebuffer), reboot. BackTrack Live USB Install This method of getting a live install to a USB drive is the simplest available using Unetbootin. Note that we will format the USB drive and erase its contents. 1. Plug in your USB Drive (Minimum USB Drive capacity 2 GB) 2. Format the USB drive to FAT32 3. Download Unetbootin from http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ 4. Start Unetbootin and select diskimage (use the backtrack-final ISO) 5. Select your USB drive and click “OK” for creating a bootable BackTrack USB drive 6. Log into BackTrack with the default username and password root / toor. Install BackTrack in VMWare. 1. Follow the basic install instructions here to get BackTrack installed in a VMware machine. 2. Log into BackTrack. To install the VMWare drivers, the kernel source and headers need to be in place. By default in the BackTrack 4 final release, the kernel (denoted by {version} ) is configured and ready. However in some cases, you might need to make sure you have the latest kernel sources by typing in: apt-get update apt-get install linux-source cd /usr/src tar jxpf linux-source- {version}.tar.bz2 ln -s linux-source-{version} linux cd linux zcat /proc/config.gz > .config make scripts make prepare 3. Now that your kernel sources and headers are in place, run the “Install VMWare tools” for the specific guest VM. 4. Mount the VMWare tools virtual cd, copy over the VMWare tools package and run the installer: mount /dev/cdrom3 /mnt/cdrom cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-{version}.tar.gz /tmp/ cd /tmp/ tar zxpf VMwareTools-{version}.tar.gz cd vmware-tools-distrib ./vmware- install.pl 5. Complete the VMWare tools installation as required. Run “fix-splash” to reintroduce the green framebuffer console. Reboot. Flicked From: Backtrack Official Site. Well Installation done Lets have some understating of what it offers: This will give you location of the Network Exploitation Tools in backtrack 5(For new users). As you can see Backtrack has already Grouped the essential Tools for You. See other screen shot: This will take 1000 pages if I give screenshots for all the tools in Backtrack.The better is I give you the list and you can use google to find about the tools.Aint that cool. The List you are going to see will blow you head off. I intended to include this for reference purposes. You can skip the list to around 100th page. The best way to learn about the tools is to use search engine which will be give you best access for gaining more knowlwdge of the tool. Thanks to ZitsTif for the list that he has uploaded to his site. #############################NOTE########################################## Date: Fri Jul 15 16:42:13 EDT 2011 Version: Backtrack 5 - gnome - 32bit A tool I installed that doesn't come with Backtrack 5 by default: sysv-rc-conf Command I ran before running dpkg --list > toolslist.txt sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo msfupdate I also installed VirtualBox Guest Host Additions. ############################################################################ ||/ Name Version Description ii 0trace 1.0-bt4 0trace is a traceroute tool that can be run within an existing, open TCP connection - therefore bypassing some types of stateful packet filters with ease. ii 3proxy 0.6.1-bt2 3APA3A 3proxy tiny proxy server ii ace 1.10-bt2 ACE (Automated Corporate Enumerator) is a simple yet powerful VoIP Corporate Directory enumeration tool that mimics the behavior of an IP Phone in order t ii adduser 3.112ubuntu1 add and remove users and groups ii admsnmp 0.1-bt3 SNMP audit scanner. ii afflib 3.6.10-bt1 An open source implementation of AFF written in C. ii air 2.0.0-bt2 AIR is a GUI front-end to dd/dc3dd designed for easily creating forensic images. ii aircrack-ng 1.1-bt9 Aircrack-ng wireless exploitation and enumeration suite ii alacarte 0.13.1-0ubuntu1 easy GNOME menu editing tool ii alsa-base 1.0.22.1+dfsg-0ubuntu3 ALSA driver configuration files ii alsa-tools 1.0.22-0ubuntu1 Console based ALSA utilities for specific hardware ii alsa-utils 1.0.22-0ubuntu5 ALSA utilities ii amap 5.2-bt4 Amap is a next-generation tool for assistingnetwork penetration testing.

  • Release Notes for Xfree86® 4.8.0 the Xfree86 Project, Inc December 2008
    Release Notes for XFree86® 4.8.0 The XFree86 Project, Inc December 2008 Abstract This document contains information about the various features and their current sta- tus in the XFree86 4.8.0 release. 1. Introduction to the 4.x Release Series XFree86 4.0 was the first official release of the XFree86 4 series. The current release (4.8.0) is the latest in that series. The XFree86 4.x series represents a significant redesign of the XFree86 X server,with a strong focus on modularity and configurability. 2. Configuration: aQuickSynopsis Automatic configuration was introduced with XFree86 4.4.0 which makes it possible to start XFree86 without first creating a configuration file. This has been further improved in subsequent releases. If you experienced any problems with automatic configuration in a previous release, it is worth trying it again with this release. While the initial automatic configuration support was originally targeted just for Linux and the FreeBSD variants, as of 4.5.0 it also includes Solaris, NetBSD and OpenBSD support. Full support for automatic configuration is planned for other platforms in futurereleases. If you arerunning Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Solaris, try Auto Configuration by run- ning: XFree86 -autoconfig If you want to customise some things afterwards, you can cut and paste the automatically gener- ated configuration from the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file into an XF86Config file and make your customisations there. If you need to customise some parts of the configuration while leav- ing others to be automatically detected, you can combine a partial static configuration with the automatically detected one by running: XFree86 -appendauto If you areusing a platform that is not currently supported, then you must try one of the older methods for getting started like "xf86cfg", which is our graphical configuration tool.

  • A Study on the Use of Opengl in Window Systems
    Master Thesis Computer Science Thesis no: MCS-2004:03 March 2004 A study on the use of OpenGL in window systems Johan Persson Department of Software Engineering and Computer Science Blekinge Institute of Technology Box 520 SE - 372 25 Ronneby Sweden This thesis is submitted to the Department of Software Engineering and Computer Science at Blekinge Institute of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Software Engineering. The thesis is equivalent to 20 weeks of full time studies. Contact Information: Author: Johan Persson E-mail: [email protected] University advisor: Bj¨orn T¨ornqvist Department of Software Engineering and Computer Science Department of Software Engineering and Computer Science Internet : http://www.bth.se/ipd Blekinge Institute of Technology Phone : +46 457 38 50 00 Box 520 Fax : + 46 457 271 25 SE - 372 25 Ronneby Sweden Abstract OpenGL is getting used more in window system as a way of improving performance and enabling new functionality. Examples of two systems using different approaches of how OpenGL is being used are Quartz Extreme and Fresco. Quartz Extreme uses window composition which assures fast redisplay and Fresco on the other hand uses a structured graphics approach which utilises OpenGL on a much lower level compared to Quartz Extreme which operates at a window level. Fresco’s way brings great flexibility and an ability to mix 2D and 3D-objects on the desktop. But each of the approaches has its problems; Quartz extreme requires a large amount of memory for buffering of the window contents and Fresco has performance problems when redisplaying complex structures.

    Disk Imaging Technologies Backup and Restoration Challenges Topics • Manufacture Firmware Changes • File System Landscape – UEFI – Introduction to GUID Partition Table (GPT) – Partitions & Limitations • Imaging Utilities Windows & Linux • Full Disk Encryption • Source Web-Links Manufacture Firmware Changes • Industry push to a new standard: – BIOS vs. UEFI • UEFI is to replace and extend the old BIOS firmware. • UEFI is not a new thing. Intel has been working in EFI/UEFI since mid 1990s, and there are vendors like HP or Apple that provided EFI machines since a long time ago. But it is when Microsoft announced Windows 8 that UEFI became the required way to boot the new certified machines. • Secure boot is an extension of UEFI. One of the key points of UEFI is that it can be extended. UEFI has an internal virtual machine that is independent of the architecture that it is using. The standard accepts special binary files compiled for this virtual machine (EFI binaries) that can be executed inside the environment. These binaries can be device drivers, applications or extensions to the UEFI standard. UEFI, in some sense, is like a small operative system that runs when the machine is powered on and whose main task is to find and load another operating system. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is meant as a replacement for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface ● Initially (1998) designed by Intel for Itanium processor ● Since 2005 managed by the Unified EFI Forum (uefi.org) Source: http://loadays.org/archives/2013/static/slides/Integrating-UEFI-into-rear.pdf Why UEFI? • BIOS has its (aging) limitations – 16-bit processes – max.

  • Distributed Multihead X Design Kevin E
    Distributed Multihead X design Kevin E. Martin, David H. Dawes, and RickardE.Faith 29 June 2004 (created 25 July 2001) Abstract This document covers the motivation, background, design, and implementation of the distributed multihead X (DMX) system. It is a living document and describes the current design and implementation details of the DMX system. As the project pro- gresses, this document will be continually updated to reflect the changes in the code and/or design. Copyright 2001 by VALinux Systems, Inc., Fremont, California. Copyright 2001-2004 by Red Hat, Inc., Raleigh, North Carolina 1. Introduction 1.1 The Distributed Multihead X Server Current Open Source multihead solutions arelimited to a single physical machine. Asingle X server controls multiple display devices, which can be arranged as independent heads or unified into a single desktop (with Xinerama). These solutions arelimited to the number of physical devices that can co-exist in a single machine (e.g., due to the number of AGP/PCI slots available for graphics cards). Thus, large tiled displays arenot currently possible. The work described in this paper will eliminate the requirement that the display devices reside in the same physical machine. This will be accomplished by developing a front-end proxy X server that will control multiple back-end X servers that make up the large display. The overall structureofthe distributed multihead X (DMX) project is as follows: A single front- end X server will act as a proxy to a set of back-end X servers, which handle all of the visible ren- dering. X clients will connect to the front-end server just as they normally would to a regular X server.
