hacking: security in practice
How accurate are these websites? And which one do I pursue?

I am new to the world of ethical hacking, I have recently completed my bachelor of BCA(A general course for learning a few basic programming languages such as java, python, and c++).

I tried googling but there are too many certification courses and I don't know where to begin(before you yell at me; yes, I have read the sticky megathread and all it does is talk about CTF which I am not interested in, as I plan to get a masters degree this fall intake so I am in a bit of a hurry here). To prove that I did my research I am going to link two websites of the many that I have read for my career.

certifications cybersecurity careers

​

TL;DR I can't pick which certification or job title I should go for and as a beginner which one is/would be suitable for me and after the completion of the basic which one should I look out for and prepare for the next.

Sorry for my confusing post but if you have any questions then do comment then down below so that I can clear my career dilemma. Thank you in advance.

ScheduleRunner - A C# Tool With More Flexibility To Customize Scheduled Task For Both Persistence And Lateral Movement In Red Team Operation

Scheduled task is one of the most popular attack technique in the past decade and now it is still commonly used by hackers/red teamers for persistence and lateral movement. A number of C# tools were already developed to simulate the attack using scheduled task. I have been playing around with some of them but each of them has its own limitations on customizing the scheduled task. Therefore, this project aims to provide a C# tool to include the features that I want and provide enough flexibility on customizing the scheduled task.

Why is it easier to pivot from *nix PCs/servers?

One of the rooms about pivoting on TryHackMe said that you should, “try to use a Linux/Unix target if possible since they’re easier to pivot from. An outward facing Linux Web-server is absolutely ideal.”

THM didn’t elaborate as to why this is the case, and I didn’t see any references to this online. I assumed that with all else being equal, a Windows machine/server would generally be more vulnerable than a *nix machine/server. Does anyone have any more info about this?

Thanks for your time

SQL Injection with curl

I've been in security for several years but just now getting into pentesting and hacking. First exercise is trying my hand at some SQL injection. I know SQL well and have done some backend and frontend website work before, so i'm no stranger the technologies used here.

​

What I'm running into is that I'm blind and often it's far easier to work in a text-based shell as opposed to using a lot of GUI-based tools. I've noticed that I'm running into some trouble getting curl to properly post my strings for form encoded data to the target page.

​

IE:

curl -x POST -F 'username=admin\'#' https://example.com/

​

doesn't seem to work. It treats the "#" as another field name, trying to \escape this doesn't seem to work either. I've tried double-quoting the form data, even going so far as to manually url-encode the form data and append it to the end of the https URL of the page I'm trying. It's against a lab where I know the string that's supposed to work if done in the browser, and i can confirm it does indeed work in a browser.

​

Any suggestions or insights on how to get CURL to properly do this? I'm solid with Python as well so my next step is to use the requests module to see if it runs into the same problem (I was doing some user-agent testing earlier today and it seemed to not have an issue). But, I'd really like to just be able to throw a quick test together in the terminal before breaking out a full Python script/shell to do any of this.

​

Any help is immensely appreciated.

breaking into an inherited ipad pro

Hey guys, this is a dumb question, but I want to reset my dad's old iPad pro back to factory settings. Unfortunately, my dad was a bloody tight lipped fucker, and I can't get in with the pass code.

Unfortunately, whatever knowledge of that code is sprayed across my garage, so that is out.

He also didn't write anything down, nor did he provide anyone with the code.

So. I don't care about what's on the iPad, I just need the iPad. Is there any tool that I can use to get in? Or am I SOL
