Don’t Enter Your Password Into That Website: A Rant You Need to Hear

Don’t Enter Your Password Into That Website: A Rant You Need to Hear

Let me set the stage.

I came across a YouTube video the other day where the creator casually suggested that you can “check if your password has been leaked” by typing it directly into a website or tool. It was not a very popular content creator, none the less, I think we need to talk about this.

How Vim Can Make a Hacker’s Life Easier with Macros and Registers

How Vim Can Make a Hacker’s Life Easier with Macros and Registers

Why Every Hacker Should Master Vim Macros and Registers

If you’re deep into hacking, pentesting, or security research, you know that automation is key. Repetitive tasks like manipulating payloads, encoding/decoding strings, or tweaking shell scripts can become tedious. Enter Vim macros and registers! These powerful features let you record and replay keystrokes, making your workflow insanely efficient.

No that I dont use IDE’s the likes of Visual Studio code (sometimes I do). However they can never match the raw power of vi/vim/nvim or any of the vim family of editors. To reap the maximum benefit, you have to learn the basics of using the editor in normal mode ( which is by the not the editing mode).

GOAD_Provisioning_ActiveDirectory

Today we will talk about GOAD, from its creators:

GOAD is a pentest active directory LAB project. The purpose of this lab is to give pentesters a vulnerable Active directory environment ready to use to practice usual attack techniques.

This lab is extremely vulnerable, do not reuse recipe to build your environment and do not deploy this environment on internet without isolation (this is a recommendation, use it as your own risk). This repository was build for pentest practice.

Using Burp with Containers In Docker

Making Docker Containers Trust Burp Suite’s CA for Testing

When testing applications running inside Docker containers, intercepting traffic with Burp Suite can be challenging because containers don’t automatically trust Burp’s CA certificate. Without trust, HTTPS requests from inside the container will fail with certificate errors.

In this post, I’ll show you how to:

1. Add Burp Suite’s CA to your host system
2. Pass the trusted CA to Docker containers
3. Ensure seamless HTTPS traffic interception for testing

Recon

We begin our reconnaissance phase by scanning the target using Nmap. This helps us identify the open ports and services running on the machine.
