I’ve started tracking individual CTF and other tools that I typically add to distributions to my standard GitHub. If you want/need to pull any of these they are located here:
Intro to Cryptography (Part 3 of 3)
This is the quick-hit version of the second of three parts of Introduction to Cryptography training I gave. As with all of the formal training, you can use the below for a quick reference, or view the full presentation here.
RFI PHP Webshell Injector
Sometimes you just need a quick PHP webshell to complement your RFI vulnerability you’ve uncovered. There are plenty of “fancy” ones with lots of features, but I prefer simple, effective, command-line equivalent access any day. If you’re of that persuasion as well, just use this as the target of your RFI to give yourself Hermit’s Stupidly Simple WebShell (HSSWS). Enjoy!
Firmware Analysis
This is the quick-hit version of the firmware analysis training I gave. As with all of the formal training, you can use the below for a quick reference, or view the full presentation here.
Search Engines
Sometimes you just need a search engine to find some data… and since every one does things differently, here’s a giant list of them:
And due credit to Wikipedia, which helped me discover many of these. Here you’ll find everything from the usual Googles and Bings to price searches, local search engines, scientific data respositories, and more. You just have to play with each one to figure out what it does. 🙂

OSINT: Google and LinkedIn
This is the quick-hit version of the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) training I gave on using data from Google and LinkedIn to profile an individual or organization. As with all of the formal training, you can use the below for a quick reference, or view the full presentation here: OSINT – Social Media (Google and LinkedIn) (basic_0x08)
Note: Do not use spaces between an operator (e.g. “-”) and the thing it operates on. For example:
bob -dylan # No Bob Dylan results
bob - dylan # Bob Dylan shows up in resultsBruteforcing ESSID Values
If you need to reveal an (E)SSID you can do this simply through MDK3. To do so we’ll use the “p” mode, as follows:
mdk3 {INTERFACE} p -f /path/to/file/of/potential_names -t {AP_MAC_ADDRESS} -b {CHARSET}For the “CHARSET” you can use “a” (for all characters, not recommended except for tiny names), or one or more of the following:
- u – Uppercase
- l – Lowercase
- n – Numbers
- s – ASCII symbols
Good hunting!
OSINT: Twitter and Facebook
This is the quick-hit version of the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) training I gave on using data from Twitter and Facebook to profile an individual or organization. As with all of the formal training, you can use the below for a quick reference, or view the full presentation here: OSINT – Social Media (Facebook and Twitter) (basic_0x07)
MSF Fundamentals 2017 (Part 3 of 3) – Pivoting and Automation
This is quick-hit version of part three of a three part series on Metasploit Fundamentals that I wrote to update my previous work (from 2014) on Metasploit. If you’re looking for a more hands-on/in-depth version of this article you can access training on this topic here: MSF Fundamentals – Part 3 of 3 (Pivoting and Automation) (basic_0x04)
The purpose of this article is to cover pivoting, port-forwarding, and automation to expand the reach of your tools and reduce the amount of time you spend on repetitive work. Part one covered starting up the MSF, finding an exploit, finding a matching payload, and configuring everything up to the point of launching the exploit. Part two covered exploitation and post-exploitation modules to the point where you are comfortable with the various ways of manipulating a system after you’ve opened a session to it. This training assumes you’re using a 2016 variant of Kali Linux and that it’s patched up to at least August 2016. If that’s true, then let’s go!

MSF Fundamentals 2017 (Part 1 of 3) – Console to Payload
This is quick-hit version of part one of a three part series on Metasploit Fundamentals that I wrote to update my previous work (from 2014) on Metasploit. If you’re looking for a more hands-on/in-depth version of this article you can access training on this topic here: MSF Fundamentals – Part 1 of 3 (Startup Exploit Payload) (basic_0x02)
The purpose of this article is to get you familiar with starting up the Metasploit Framework (MSF), finding an exploit, finding a matching payload, and configuring everything up until it’s time to launch an exploit. Part two will cover exploitation and post-exploitation modules, while part three will cover pivoting, lateral movement, and automation. This training assumes you’re using a 2016 variant of Kali Linux and that it’s patched up to at least August 2016. If that’s true, then let’s go!
