Exploiting a Vulnerable libssh Service

  Recently, I encountered an intriguing Capture The Flag (CTF) challenge during a competition that led me down a rabbit hole of cybersecurity exploration. Let me take you through my journey of discovering and exploiting a vulnerable libssh service, unraveling the mystery step by step.     It all began with a simple IP address and port number. Armed with my trusty Kali Linux machine, I decided to probe the service using the netcat utility. Connecting to the IP with the specified port, I soon discovered that it was a libssh service.   How did I know? The connection confirmed it, and I was ready to dive deeper into this intriguing puzzle.   Unveiling Vulnerabilities: With the service identified, my next task was to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities. A quick search revealed the version details of the libssh service in use. Armed with this information, I navigated to the project’s GitHub page and stumbled upon an exploit script written in Python. It was...

Exposing Login Page Vulnerabilities with Time-Based SQL Injection

In the realm of cybersecurity, SQL injection remains a notorious threat, with time-based SQL injection being one of the most elusive methods. This tutorial will guide you through exploiting a login page vulnerability using two powerful tools: SQLMap and Burp Suite. By the end of this demonstration, you’ll understand how these attacks work and learn crucial defense mechanisms to protect your web applications. The Basics of SQL Injection SQL injection is a technique where an attacker exploits improperly sanitized user inputs to execute arbitrary SQL commands on a database. In time-based SQL injection, the attacker leverages the database’s response time to infer whether the input was successful, without needing direct feedback from the application. vulnerable webpage Practical Demonstration: Lets dive into the practical demonstration: Step 1 : Open Burp Suite and navigate to the “Proxy” tab. Ensure the proxy is running. Step 2 : Configure your browser to use Burp Suite as a...
