1. Hacking Methodology & Planning

Structured approach to offensive engagements.

• Phases: Recon → Scanning → Gaining Access → Maintaining Access → Covering Tracks.
• Checklist: Define scope, obtain "Get Out of Jail Free" letter, and verify legal boundaries.
• Goal: Move from low-privileged user or external network to Domain Admin or Data Exfiltration.

---

2. Reconnaissance & OSINT

• Passive: Use Shodan, Google Dorks, and WHOIS.
• Active: Nmap (Port scanning), Wireshark (Traffic analysis), and Subdomain enumeration (Sublist3r).
• Tools: Find exposed Jenkins, Git configs, or unsecured API endpoints.

---

3. Exploitation (Web, API, Cloud)

• Web: Master the OWASP Top 10.
  • SQL Injection: Use SQLMap for automation.
  • XSS/HTML Injection: Bypass CSP and steal cookies.
  • Path Traversal/LFI: Read /etc/passwd or configuration files.
  • IDOR: Access other users' data by manipulating IDs.
• API: Fuzzing with Burp Suite, testing for Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA).
• Cloud (AWS/Azure): Target S3 misconfigurations, Metadata SSRF, and Lambda exploitation.

---

4. Post-Exploitation & PrivEsc

• Metasploit Framework: Use for payload generation and session management.
• Linux PrivEsc: Check for SUID binaries, kernel exploits, and misconfigured cron jobs.
• Windows PrivEsc: Target DLL hijacking, Token Impersonation, and unquoted service paths.
• Active Directory: Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, and BloodHound enumeration.

---

5. Reporting & Remediation

• Evidence: Collect screenshots, logs, and reproduction scripts (PoC).
• Severity: Rank finds via CVSS (0-10).
• Remediation: Provide clear, developer-friendly fixes (e.g., "Use parameterized queries" instead of "Fix SQL Injection").

🛠️ Execution Protocol

1. Classify Sector: Network, Web, Cloud, or Mobile?
2. Phase 1: Recon: Gather target intel.
3. Phase 2: Scanning: Identify services and versions.
4. Phase 3: Attack: Select and execute the specific exploit logic above.
5. Phase 4: PrivEsc: Elevate permissions if possible.
6. Final Report: Synthesize findings for the user.
