THM Day 1

Dear readers, I’m delighted to report that I’ve begun a 100-day challenge at THM to learn more about the topic of cyber security. I’m also eager to share my knowledge and experience with you. I also posted replies to every post. You proceed and make an attempt on your own.

LinkedIn Profile : https://www.linkedin.com/in/gokul-e-kncet

It is an simple room ,(In THM the machine are called as Rooms)initially they explained about the concept of offensive security and give some information to solve that room.They provide an machine with one web application fakebank.com

In this, I learned a brand-new directory enumerating tool called Go Buster. We need to enumerate all other folders that are included with the web application.

gobuster -u http://fakebank.com -w wordlist.txt dir

  • -u is used to specify the address or host
  • -w is used to specify the word list.

The enumerated Directories are /images and /bank-transfer

What is Offensive Security?

In a short, offensive security is the act of hacking into computer systems, taking advantage of software flaws, and locating security loopholes in software to obtain unauthorized access to them.

In contrast, defensive security is employed to shield digital assets from hackers who steal data and engage in criminal behavior.In a defensive cyber job, you can be searching for cyber criminals, tracing down compromised systems or devices, or keeping an eye on infrastructure for nefarious activities.

The lesson is too brief, yet it’s still worth sharing with you.We shall meet later, Thank you.
