Hey! Lovely video as always. Just wanted to say, the part where the hash of the password has to end in "001" in order to be valid and you've found one to be "abkr". You overworked the code a bit... For example you could have just made a single for loop going from a number 0 to 10000000, every number to string and just hash that, much easier and way less code to loop through numbers than ascii characters. The one i've found is 5265 with its hash being 'f127a3f714240273e254d740ed23f001'.

I was able to follow pretty easily up to privilege escalation because of previous knowledge, but even the prev esc part was understandable because of your thorough explanations! Also loved to see that you actually took the time to code some brute forces (hash, code, and even directories (even though you didn't write the code yourself)). Sometimes it really does take some dirty, boring, and time-consuming work to get somewhere.

Just loved the way you teach all of us is very precious... love you john ....!! and thank you for keeping up the good work.

Fun fact: Because cryptographic hashes map evenly from all possible inputs to all possible outputs, it doesn't really matter what you're hashing. You could start at the number zero, take the hash from that and keep incrementing it by 1 until you hit your target hash. (or you could hash a random string/number every time) Because every hash outcome has the same probability to occur, (and all hashes ending in "001" also have the same probability) you will find your target hash just as quickly. Note: I converted the number to string here due to readability of the code. More straightforward computationally would be to simply hash bytes and increment those bytes until you hit your target. import hashlib i = 0 while True: m = hashlib.md5(str(i).encode()).hexdigest() if m[-3:] == '001': print(f'the md5sum of `{i}` is `{m}`') break i += 1

Loving the videos, currently studying for a cyber security degree here in the UK and find your videos are helping me pick up additional skills that are useful for my course. Thank you John

Haven't been here a while but happy to be back! Great video John as per usual

I started watching your videos the same way people watch sports, so entertaining and educational! keep it up :D

Very very good, John I have often followed your videos, and I must say that you explain all the steps really well. I really liked the Priesc with the service to restart, with the help of the comnado watch. Really good.

Love watching your context bro👍🏼

I just started learning with Hack the box and although I understood very little due to my technical knowledge. I enjoyed the video. I will come back to this video in 6 months time to see if my understanding has improved Great content!

19:31 "Umm, and actually I'm gonna do something stupid", with that voice crack xD I actually lol'd on that :D

Really loved it. Learned a lot. Thank you so much for making great content. Really appreciate it. Love from India

Enjoyed the video as always!

Dude, this is amaznig. I appreciate you content.

How can you not subscribe to this? This is gold.

Although I could follow till the end while getting also lost with the playing around python prog stuff it was amazing...great video as always...thanks John

Nice video John. I've never seen .phps files in the wild before, but probably a good idea to include that extension when doing dirbuster etc. from now on. Privesc was pretty nice!

This was a ton of fun. Thanks alot john. am also waiting, idk what am waiting but am waiting! 🤣🤣

Great video, thanks for the intro to feroxbuster, wasn't familiar with that one.

That was awesome. Thanks john!

Crazy never seen such a brilliant person ☺️

Man loved the way you explain everyting first ever video keep up the good work. :-)

I love how you pop the machine's IP into $IP and then never use $IP again. ;-)

Another awesome video John... Really enjoy the content :)

That was a really fun challenge to watch and now I'm going to practically try it out.

I loved It a lot! Thank You!

Thanks again John for this video. Best regards from a 'Normie'!

i love this video mr ham hands ive missed the tryhackme content!! more pls

Subscribed. Wow. Amazing content. Thx.

loved it 🔥🔥

I hit the red button. keep up the good content :)

Hey John.. Your video was great.. Had a lot of fun.. I've learned a lot.. Well, not sure how much I have assimilate it.. I still need to practice.. Chuck was right in his videos, you are great.

awesome video will definately give that room a go looks fun

Your talent in following numbers are so more this one to you got talent .

Hey John! Also waiting! ;)

Pretty cool! Nice demo. :)

Awesome video!

You are a wonderful professor

This feels like old school Hammond. Love it.

Thanx, again great video. And i’m a subscriber 🤣🤣🤣

Nice video. Do you do any live boxes like fresh so we can see you stumble around a bit? I like that raw style.

This was a lot of fun!

I appreciate you.

For the algorithm, great video sir.

I'm watching it in part for all the cool github links and in part for console wizardry, don't want for it to be a full-time job for me but these things are just so cool to watch.

Waiting dudeee

Legend!!

You are Brilliant :)

from @26:38 to @28:30 you could simply just send any 4 digit MFA code and then in dev console right-click The post request from the network tab and select copy -> Copy as cURL.

Great vid

amazing!

Awesome!!

that was pretty cool

Good stuff

nice one buddy

Great video again. I would use ffuf instead of your bash command.

12:50 Very useful tip while hunting on php target.

very good content bhaiya

Another great video. Could you please make a video on Active Directory Resources that can help us to prepare for OSCP (new exam changes)? Thanks a lot 🙂

Waiting from Nepal

John: Some ideas for you: I don't know every video you have on here but: "This is what an attack looks like on screen on Windows" "This is how the colonial pipeline happened and what I would have done to attempt avoiding it" "The is how pen testers and bug bounty did their job in the Mitnick days before Burp Suite existed" "This is how pen testers did their job before metasploit existed" "This is probably why Russian and Chinese hackers are so good" I'm thinking video like these would separate your account and put it at a new level of you have the time Nice to meet another hacker!!

Thanks for another great video. One question though: Why do you call the python script by invoking `python` when you have a python shebang set? Or asked the other way around: Why do you set a shebang when you don't chmod +x the script and execute directly?

Awesome

Loved it. Watched the whole thing and it is fascinating from start to end.

That ending hot me surprised

Amazingly Hackalisious!!!!!

{ This video is Unmatched.

😂 He said JSON instead of Jason 😂😂😂

i may be a few months late, but these videos always help me with my stuff, now i know what NOT to do when configuring.

chapeau :)

I love wfuzz. It's so super versitile. Directory search, dns name search, fuzzing user agents, cookies, form posts. You can get stuff from files, encode on the fly, get your input from stdin and pipe hashcat or some python script into it

🤩 wow

25:11 Ah, of course, my good friend -Jason- JSON

That was entertaining

Thanks for teaching me something new as always!

sir can you make a csrf based video briefly explaining the topic\

Hey John, in your loop, wouldn't it be better to use ... grep -v "Incorrect code" && echo $i; break ...?

The goal I get it is take the shortest route but damn leaving all your requests commands and logins logged, gonna be hard to cover up. Best video I’ve ever watched btw, no video has stood out to me so much, your knowledge is amazing!

I'm one of the other 45% \o/

❤️

我最近刚关注您 我刚开始学网络安全 这东西真的太复杂了 我原来也不懂编程和系统 我只会Microsoft office😹 太可怕了

Will you do a clickjacking video next?

Why does chmod +s /bin/bash allow for privesc on demand?

Real life Uplink.

Windows 8 Não precisa de ajuda nenhuma Entende de tudo né? É segurança da Informação?

People like you are the reason my accounts keep getting hacked lol

I love how the room has 67 upvotes and john says 75.

LastPass 👀

john why are you rounding up at closest miltiole of 25 im curious 00:40

Ah yes,

Anyone know what shell/interface he's using, been looking for it forever and can't find it. Really helps with the command and history prediction

I am soo noob right now and learning. I wonder how long would it take to brute force a 6 digit and a 8 digit code.

xxd isn't a builtin, but a part of vim... ;-)

Fail2ban enabled on the mfa would have been interesting

I’m new to cyber security but I’ve take. Some classes and am looking to get some certifications is there any you recommend?

What kind of system are you running? CPU /GPU etc..!

It is so ironic that fail2ban can be used for privesc. lol

on my computer the padding with {0000..9999} works in zsh but not in bash, am I the only one?

Ah yes.. john..john hammond 🙂

Where is PicoCTF pt 2 !!!!
