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