TERMINOLOGIES OF ETHICAL HACKING

What is the terminologies in ethical hacking?

Here are a few key terms that you will hear in discussion about hackers and what they do:


1-Backdoor-A secret pathway a hacker uses to gain entry to a computer system.


2-Adware-It is the softw-are designed to force pre-chosen ads to display on your system.


3-Attack-That action performs by a attacker on a system to gain unauthorized access.


4-Buffer Overflow-It is the process of attack where the hacker delivers malicious commands to a system by overrunning an application buffer.


5-Denial-of-Service attack (DOS)-A attack designed to cripple the victim's system by preventing it from handling its normal traffic,usally by flooding it with false traffic.


6-Email Warm-A virus-laden script or mini-program sent to an unsuspecting victim through a normal-looking email message.


7-Bruteforce Attack-It is an automated and simplest kind of method to gain access to a system or website. It tries different combination of usernames and passwords,again & again until it gets in from bruteforce dictionary.


8-Root Access-The highest level of access to a computer system,which can give them complete control over the system.


9-Root Kit-A set of tools used by an intruder to expand and disguise his control of the system.It is the stealthy type of software used for gain access to a computer system.


10-Session Hijacking- When a hacker is able to insert malicious data packets right into an actual data transmission over the internet connection.


11-Phreaker-Phreakers are considered the original computer hackers who break into the telephone network illegally, typically to make free longdistance phone calls or to tap lines.


12-Trojan Horse-It is a malicious program that tricks the computer user into opening it.There designed with an intention to destroy files,alter information,steal password or other information.


13-Virus-It is piece of code or malicious program which is capable of copying itself has a detrimental effect such as corrupting the system od destroying data. Antivirus is used to protect the system from viruses.


14-Worms-It is a self reflicating virus that does not alter  files but resides in the active memory and duplicate itself.


15-Vulnerability-It is a weakness which allows a hacker to compromise the security of a computer or network system to gain unauthorized access.


16-Threat-A threat is a possible danger that can exploit an existing bug or vulnerability to comprise the security of a computer or network system. Threat is of two types-physical & non physical.


17-Cross-site Scripting-(XSS) It is a type of computer security vulnerability found in web application.It enables attacker to inject client side script into web pages viwed by other users.


18-Botnet-It is also known as Zombie Army is a group of computers controlled without their owner's knowledge.It is used to send spam or make denial of service attacks.


19-Bot- A bot is a program that automates an action so that it can be done repeatedly at a much higher rate for a period than a human operator could do it.Example-Sending HTTP, FTP oe Telnet at a higer rate or calling script to creat objects at a higher rate.


20-Firewall-It is a designed to keep unwanted intruder outside a computer system or network for safe communication b/w system and users on the inside of the firewall.


21-Spam-A spam is unsolicited email or junk email sent to a large numbers of receipients without their consent.


22-Zombie Drone-It is defined as a hi-jacked computer that is being used anonymously as a soldier or drone for malicious activity.ExDistributing Unwanted Spam Emails.


23-Logic Bomb-It is a type of virus upload in to a system that triggers a malicious action when certain conditions are met.The most common version is Time Bomb.


24-Shrink Wrap code-The process of attack for exploiting the holes in unpatched or poorly configured software.


25-Malware-It is an umbrella term used to refer a variety of intrusive software, including computer viruses,worms,Trojan Horses,Ransomeware,spyware,adware, scareware and other malicious program.

DSploit

DSploit

After playing with the applications installed on the Pwn Pad, I found that the most important application (at least for me) was missing from the pre-installed apps. Namely, DSploit. Although DSploit has tons of features, I really liked the multiprotocol password sniffing (same as dsniff) and the session hijacking functionality.

The DSploit APK in the Play Store was not working for me, but the latest nightly on http://dsploit.net worked like a charm.

Most features require that you and your target uses the same WiFi network, and that's it. It can be Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2 Personal. On all of these networks, DSploit will sniff the passwords - because of the active attacks. E.g. a lot of email clients still use IMAP with clear text passwords, or some webmails, etc. 

First, DSploit lists the AP and the known devices on the network. In this case, I chose one victim client.


In the following submenu, there are tons of options, but the best features are in the MITM section. 


Stealthiness warning: in some cases, I received the following popup on the victim Windows:


This is what we have under the MITM submenu:


Password sniffing

For example, let's start with the Password Sniffer. It is the same as EvilAP and DSniff in my previous post. With the same results for the popular Hungarian webmail with the default secure login checkbox turned off. Don't forget, this is not an Open WiFi network, but one with WPA2 protection!


Session hijack

Now let's assume that the victim is very security-aware and he checks the secure login checkbox. Another cause can be that the victim already logged in, long before we started to attack. The session hijacking function is similar to the Firesheep tool, but it works with every website where the session cookies are sent in clear text, and there is no need for any additional support.

In a session hijacking attack (also called "sidejacking"), after the victim browser sends the authentication cookies in clear text, DSploit copies these cookies into its own browser, and opens the website with the same cookies, which results in successful login most of the time. Let's see session hijacking in action!

Here, we can see that the session cookies have been sniffed from the air:


Let's select that session, and be amazed that we logged into the user's webmail session.




Redirect traffic

This feature can be used both for fun or profit. For fun, you can redirect all the victim traffic to http://www.kittenwar.com/. For-profit, you can redirect your victim to phishing pages.


Replace images, videos

I think this is just for fun here. Endless Rick Rolling possibilities.


Script injection

This is mostly for profit. client-side injection, drive-by-exploits, endless possibilities.

Custom filter

If you are familiar with ettercap, this has similar functionalities (but dumber), with string or regex replacements. E.g. you can replace the news, stock prices, which pizza the victim ordered, etc. If you know more fun stuff here, please leave a comment (only HTTP scenario - e.g. attacking Facebook won't work).

Additional fun (not in DSploit) - SSLStrip 

From the MITM section of DSploit, I really miss the SSLStrip functionality. Luckily, it is built into the Pwn Pad. With the help of SSLStrip, we can remove the references to HTTPS links in the clear text HTTP traffic, and replace those with HTTP. So even if the user checks the secure login checkbox at freemail.hu, the password will be sent in clear text - thus it can be sniffed with DSniff.

HTML source on the client-side without SSLstrip:


HTML source on the client-side with SSL strip:


With EvilAP, SSLStrip, and DSniff, the password can be stolen. No hacking skillz needed.

Lessons learned here

If you are a website operator where you allow your users to login, always:
  1. Use HTTPS with a trusted certificate, and redirect all unencrypted traffic to HTTPS ASAP
  2. Mark the session cookies with the secure flag
  3. Use HSTS to prevent SSLStrip attacks
If you are a user:
  1. Don't trust sites with your confidential data if the above points are not fixed. Choose a more secure alternative
  2. Use HTTPS everywhere plugin
  3. For improved security, use VPN
Because hacking has never been so easy before.
And last but not least, if you like the DSploit project, don't forget to donate them!

More information


Response for you're doing.

Hello pervert,

I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisely.

Have you heard of Pegasus?
This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners.
It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, and Windows.
I guess, you already figured out where I'm getting at.

It's been a few months since I installed it on all your devices because you were not quite choosy about what links to click on the internet.
During this period, I've learned about all aspects of your private life, but one is of special significance to me.
I've recorded many videos of you jerking off to highly controversial porn videos.
Given that the "questionable" genre is almost always the same, I can conclude that you have sick perversion.

I doubt you'd want your friends, family and co-workers to know about it. However, I can do it in a few clicks.
Every number in your contact book will suddenly receive these videos - on WhatsApp, on Telegram, on Skype, on email - everywhere.
It is going to be a tsunami that will sweep away everything in its path, and first of all, your former life.
Don't think of yourself as an innocent victim. No one knows where your perversion might lead in the future, so consider this a kind of deserved punishment to stop you.

Better late than never.
I'm some kind of God who sees everything.
However, don't panic. As we know, God is merciful and forgiving, and so do I.
But my mercy is not free.

Transfer $1220 USD to my bitcoin wallet: 1A28fiWUfQnqEMqoDmMf7KZcjSDY7mEjfs

Once I receive confirmation of the transaction, I will permanently delete all videos compromising you,
uninstall Pegasus from all of your devices, and disappear from your life. You can be sure - my benefit is only money.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing to you, but destroy your life without a word in a second.

I'll be notified when you open my email, and from that moment you have exactly 48 hours to send the money.
If cryptocurrencies are unchartered waters for you, don't worry, it's very simple.
Just google "crypto exchange" and then it will be no harder than buying some useless stuff on Amazon.

I strongly warn you against the following:
) Do not reply to this email. I sent it from a temp email so I am untraceable.
) Do not contact the police. I have access to all your devices, and as soon as I find out you ran to the cops, videos will be published.
) Don't try to reset or destroy your devices.

As I mentioned above: I'm monitoring all your activity, so you either agree to my terms or the videos are published.

Also, don't forget that cryptocurrencies are anonymous, so it's impossible to identify me using the provided address.
Good luck, my perverted friend. I hope this is the last time we hear from each other.

And some friendly advice: from now on, don't be so careless about your online security.

Content Marketing: Leveraging Valuable Content to Drive Business Growth

Content marketing is a strategic approach in marketing that entails the creation and distribution of compelling, relevant, and valuable content to capture audience attention, stimulate customer engagement, and eventually drive profitable customer action. This article delves into the realm of content marketing, exploring the following key aspects:

  • The Essence of Content Marketing

Instead, content marketing focuses on providing valuable information and insights that align with the interests and pain points of the target audience.

How Can Content Marketing Drive Business Growth?

Enhanced Brand Awareness: By creating and sharing high-quality content, businesses can position themselves as thought leaders and establish brand trust, leading to increased brand awareness and recognition.

For instance, a study conducted by Demand Metric revealed that content marketing generates 3X more leads than traditional outbound marketing, highlighting the potential of content marketing in boosting brand visibility.

Lead Generation and Nurturing: Compelling content can serve as a magnet for attracting qualified leads. By providing valuable content that resonates with the audience, businesses can nurture these leads, fostering relationships that often lead to sales conversions.

A survey conducted by the Content Marketing Institute indicates that 86% of B2C marketers and 91% of B2B marketers rely on content marketing to generate leads.

Improved Customer Engagement: Creating interactive and engaging content fosters deeper customer engagement, contributing to a more loyal customer base.

According to a report by the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, 78% of consumers feel more connected to brands that create custom content.

Strengthened SEO Performance: High-quality content optimized for relevant keywords can improve a business's search engine ranking, leading to increased organic traffic.

HubSpot's research shows that businesses that prioritize blogging are 13X more likely to experience positive ROI.

Cost-Effective Marketing Strategy: In comparison to traditional advertising channels, content marketing offers a cost-effective avenue for reaching and engaging potential customers and consistently improving ROI.

Crafting Effective Content Marketing Strategies
  1. Understanding the Target Audience: In-depth knowledge of the target audience, their needs, preferences, and pain points is paramount.

  2. Setting Clear Content Objectives: Clearly defined content goals drive strategy development and measurement efforts.

  3. Content Creation and Curation: Developing high-quality, engaging content that resonates with the audience and aligns with content objectives.

  4. Diversifying Content Formats: Employing a mix of content formats (e.g., infographics, videos, blog posts, podcasts) to appeal to diverse audience preferences and maximize engagement.

  5. Effective Content Distribution: Leveraging various channels (e.g., social media, email, paid advertising) to reach and engage the target audience.

  6. Content Optimization for SEO: Optimizing content with relevant keywords to improve organic traffic and search engine visibility.

  7. Performance Monitoring and Adaptation: Tracking content performance metrics (e.g., engagement, conversions) and continuously refining strategies based on data insights.

Measuring Content Marketing Success
  1. Website Traffic: Monitoring website traffic, including unique visitors, page views, and time spent on site, to assess content's ability to attract and retain audience attention.

  2. Engagement Metrics: Analyzing engagement metrics such as likes, comments, shares, and click-through rates to gauge audience interest and interaction with content.

  3. Lead Generation and Conversion Rates: Evaluating the number of leads generated and their conversion rates into paying customers to assess content's impact on business outcomes.

  4. Brand Awareness and Reputation: Conducting brand awareness surveys and monitoring online sentiment to measure the impact of content marketing on brand recognition, perception, and reputation.

  5. SEO Performance: Tracking keyword rankings, organic traffic, and search engine visibility to assess content's impact on website visibility and organic growth.

Staying Ahead: Trends in Content Marketing
  1. Interactive and Immersive Content: The integration of interactive elements (e.g., quizzes, polls, augmented reality) enhances engagement and provides a personalized experience for audiences.

  2. Visual Storytelling: The use of visuals such as videos, infographics, and images to convey messages and engage audiences more effectively.

  3. User-Generated Content (UGC): Encouraging and leveraging content created by customers to foster authenticity, build brand loyalty, and expand reach.

  4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation: Utilization of AI-powered tools for content creation, personalization, and content performance analysis, improving efficiency and effectiveness.

  5. Data-Driven Content Marketing: Employing data analytics to understand audience preferences, optimize content performance, and make data-driven decisions to enhance content marketing strategies.

Security And Privacy Of Social Logins (I): Single Sign-On Protocols In The Wild

This post is the first out of three blog posts summarizing my (Louis Jannett) research on the design, security, and privacy of real-world Single Sign-On (SSO) implementations. It is based on my master's thesis that I wrote between April and October 2020 at the Chair for Network and Data Security.

We structured this blog post series into three parts according to the research questions of my master's thesis: Single Sign-On Protocols in the Wild, PostMessage Security in Single Sign-On, and Privacy in Single Sign-On Protocols.

Overview

Part I: Single Sign-On Protocols in the Wild

Although previous work uncovered various security flaws in SSO, it did not work out uniform protocol descriptions of real-world SSO implementations. We summarize our in-depth analyses of Apple, Google, and Facebook SSO. We also refer to the sections of the thesis that provide more detailed insights into the protocol flows and messages.
It turned out that the postMessage API is commonly used in real-world SSO implementations. We introduce the reasons for this and propose security best practices on how to implement postMessage in SSO. Further, we present vulnerabilities on top-visited websites that caused DOM-based XSS and account takeovers due to insecure use of postMessage in SSO.

Part III: Privacy in Single Sign-On Protocols (coming soon)

Identity Providers (IdPs) use "zero-click" authentication flows to automatically sign in the user on the Service Provider (SP) once it is logged in on the IdP and has consented. We show that these flows can harm user privacy and enable new targeted deanonymization attacks of the user's identity.

Single Sign-On Protocols in the Wild

We presume basic knowledge of the SSO protocols OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0. 
Also, you should be familiar with the postMessage API and the general concept of frames and popups in web browsers. Chapter 2 of the thesis introduces all basics.

To understand real-world SSO implementations, we selected three frequently used IdPs for detailed protocol analyses: Apple, Google, and Facebook. You can find an overview of all Authentication Request/Response and Token Request/Response messages in Appendix A.1 of the thesis.

Identity Provider: Apple

Sign in with Apple is intended for user authentication only, whereas the authorization part is reserved for future use. Besides native libraries for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, REST endpoints provide SSO functionality to third-party native apps. Websites can integrate the JavaScript SDK that is based on these endpoints. Although the Authentication and Token Endpoints perform standard-compliant OpenID Connect Code and Hybrid flows (`response_type=code[&id_token]`, `response_mode=query|fragment|form_post|web_message`), there are some features in the authentication & consent part worth mentioning:
  • The native libraries are tightly integrated into the OS using the existing authentication on the device. Thus, biometric user authentication is possible.
  • Apple does not maintain an authenticated session at the IdP. Thus, each (web) SSO flow requires reauthentication.
  • The user authentication is protected with 2FA by default. If the 2FA succeeds, users can choose to trust the browser, which stores a cookie that supersedes future 2FA.
  • The scope is limited to the name, which can be modified, and email.
  • Users can choose to share their real email with the SP or request Apple to generate an anonymous random email that acts as a proxy between the SP and the user's email account.
More details are provided in Section 3.2 of the thesis.

Identity Provider: Google

The Google Identity Platform provides several identity tools, including:
  • Google OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0: Certified OpenID Connect endpoints enable user authentication and authorization for Google APIs (i.e., Calendar, Drive, and more).
  • Google Sign-In: Custom authentication SDK based on the OAuth 2.0 IDP-IFrame-based Implicit Flow and available for Android, iOS, and the web. The web SDK embeds a hidden proxy iframe on the SP website and uses the postMessage API to communicate between Google and the SP. Since the proxy iframe is same-origin with Google, it has access to the session, receives the Authentication Response, and forwards it to the SP utilizing the postMessage API.
  • Google One Tap Sign-In and Sign-Up: SDK for Android and the web that introduces the account creation process on websites with a single tap on a button. The web SDK presumes an active session on Google, embeds the consent page in an iframe on the SP website, and uses the Channel Messaging API for communication between the SP and Google. Therefore, the web SDK on the SP generates a new `MessageChannel` with two ports and transfers `port2` to the consent page iframe with postMessage. Henceforth, the consent page iframe sends messages (i.e., the `id_token`) to `port2` while the web SDK receives them on `port1` and vice versa.
Since the One Tap SDK is quite different from traditional SSO flows, we will briefly outline its unique use of new web APIs. The project initially launched as Google YOLO (You Only Login Once) and had a significant drawback: the consent page iframe was vulnerable to clickjacking. This issue was reported in early 2018 and fixed with restricted API access to trusted websites. Later, Google redesigned the SDK with the new Intersection Observer API v2 that it announced in February 2019:
Intersection Observer v2 introduces the concept of tracking the actual "visibility" of a target element as a human being would define it. [...] A true value for isVisible is a strong guarantee from the underlying implementation that the target element is completely unoccluded by other content and has no visual effects applied that would alter or distort its display on screen. In contrast, a false value means that the implementation cannot make that guarantee. 

This new API enables the consent page iframe to check whether it is visible on the SP website. If it is not visible, the iframe can block the consent or start alternative flows. Unlike the `X-Frame-Options` and `frame-ancestors` directives, Intersection Observer v2 does not prohibit iframe embedding. Still, it prevents clickjacking, which is helpful for the SSO consent page.

Sidenote 1: OAuth 2.0 Assisted Token describes a new flow that similarly embeds the consent page in an iframe but uses `X-Frame-Options`, `frame-ancestors`, or JavaScript frame busting as clickjacking mitigation. Since the IdP knows the SP to which it serves the consent page, it whitelists the SP origin within the framing directives, i.e., `X-Frame-Options: allow-from https://sp.com`:
Due to the use of an iframe to host the assisted token endpoint, the authorization server MUST take precautions to ensure that only trusted origins are allowed to frame it. The authorization server MUST prevent any origin from framing the assisted token endpoint except ones that an administrator has explicitly allowed. 

However, these anti-framing techniques do not prevent the trusted origins from executing a clickjacking attack to obtain consent by fraud. Thus, the IdP must take any measures deemed appropriate to ensure that the SP is trusted to not execute any clickjacking attacks. This limitation causes problems to public IdPs (i.e., Google and Facebook) as they certainly cannot ensure the trustworthiness of their self-registered SPs. If the SP cannot be trusted, the consent page must be protected against framing (i.e., using `X-Frame-Options: deny`) and alternative flows may be started.

We are confident that the Intersection Observer v2 API provides a promising concept for future "one-tap" SSO flows because it allows framing the consent page (and thus entire SSO flows in iframes) without the risk of clickjacking. Currently, only Chromium-based browsers are compatible with Intersection Observer v2, but this might change in the future.

Sidenote 2: If you analyze the security of postMessage on websites, you probably use a browser extension that logs all messages exchanged via the postMessage API. We developed a Chrome extension that logs all messages sent via the Channel Messaging API to the console. If you conduct postMessage security analyses, we highly recommend checking the Channel Messaging API as well.

More details are provided in Section 3.3 of the thesis.

Identity Provider: Facebook

Facebook Login implements the OAuth 2.0 protocol for data access authorization and user authentication. Although OpenID Connect 1.0 defines the signed `id_token`, Facebook issues an `access_token` for user authentication. The `access_token` provides authorized access to Facebook's Token Debugging Endpoint, which returns the `app_id` of the SP that this token is intended for (`aud` claim), the `user_id` of the user that owns this token (`sub` claim), the validity, the expiration, the associated scopes, and more.

Also, Facebook issues a `signed_request`, which is a base64url-encoded and symmetrically integrity protected token. It is not a JWT – instead, it prepends the HMAC to the claims as follows: `<hmac_bytes>.{"user_id": "[...]", "code": "[...]", "algorithm": "HMAC-SHA256", "issued_at": 1577836800}`. Although the `signed_request` does not include an audience (`aud`) claim, it implicitly provides audience restriction with its symmetric HMAC that is generated with the `app_secret` of the appropriate SP. If the SP successfully verifies the HMAC, it can assume that it was issued by Facebook for itself. The SP uses the `user_id` and `code` claims to authenticate the user, i.e., it retrieves the user entry matching the `user_id` from its database or redeems the `code` in exchange for an `access_token`, which is finally sent to the Token Debugging Endpoint.

Facebook does not issue `refresh_tokens` but instead distinguishes between short-lived (approx. 60 minutes) and long-lived (approx. 60 days) `access_tokens`. Short-lived tokens are converted into long-lived tokens with `grant_type=fb_exchange_token` at the Token Endpoint. If long-lived tokens expire, the SP needs to restart the login flow from scratch to receive new short-lived `access_tokens`.

More details are provided in Section 3.4 of the thesis.
