THM Writeup: TheValley

TheValley Recon A simple Rustscan shows us that there are 3 ports open.       We see that port 22 is for SSH, port 80 is for the web server, and port 37378 is for FTP based on the version scan from NMAP: Trying to connect to the FTP server results in nothing. So we start looking on the web server. Initial Foothold We run Gobuster, and find the following directories: all of which we look around but don't notice anything interesting off the bat (using both ZAP and viewing the source code). However, we find something interesting when we run Gobuster on one directory lower (on the /static directory). So we go to `/00` and find that it has a note: so we navigate to the directory /dev1243224123123  and find a login page and viewing the source page, we see the login username and password in the dev.js script! Logging in, it says that the credentials are re-used with FTP. So we take the same credentials and use it for FTP: and we transfer those files to our computer for further analysis. W

The latest meme in Taiwan - 雞胸男

雞胸男 - The chicken breast man I'm currently in Taiwan on vacation - and what I've seen on the news is a great display of what news in Taiwan is all about. Let me explain why Taiwanese news is very different from the news I see in North America. In Taiwan, news channels obviously talk about current events. The political stuff, the sad stuff, and the dangerous stuff. But there's one key distinction in Taiwanese news compared with the regular news I watch in Canada - and that is in storytelling. You see, in Taiwan, it doesn't matter what kind of news you get. The reporters tell it like a story kind of like you're watching a reality TV show. For example, with traffic accidents, you get real traffic footage of how an accident unfolded. When you see disputes in a convenience store, 8 hours later some reporter has obtained the CCTV footage from the store owners. It makes it such that news reporting is covered so in-depth that you get detailed explanations of events that onl

Finally got level 12 on tryhackme. Took me a while but I did it! Now the next goal is to get to level 13! Which is the highest level. Don't know how long that will take me. Currently sitting at top 1% though. There's something about it which feels nice. Like I achieved something. That's all!

After 12 years

Wow! Looking back in time to my blog as a kid really brings back memories. So much has changed in 10 years time! I went from being a kid in elementary to now a graduate student in university. How time really flies huh. Looking back, I always thought it was this happy place for me when-ever I wrote here. Even though I knew there weren't many people (if any at all) reading my blogs, I still felt like writing them. Nowadays, I keep my blog on my own website at thaomar.com. Though that hasn't been updated in a while too (lol). I'll still come here from time to time, just to vent my thoughts, how I feel. I hope one day, I can look back at this blogspot and see how much I've come. From an idea that my mum and dad once told me to start to where I am now. Til next time! Omar

Today was a very fun day, we went. To rosswell international museum, it is a place that a alien UFO has crashed at but the government keeps denying it. We lived in super eight this morning and it was so dirty that I couldn't even set my foot on the floor even though we had reservations and it was supposed to be clean if we had reservation. Anyways the rosswell alien museum was very cool and I liked it a lot because I am very interested in alien life forms. These creatures are just fascinating and if we get to know them we might have better technology and have more cures for sicknesses and weapons to defend ourselves.      
Today was a good day and we went to see the four corner national monument of America, it's from new Mexico, Arizona,utah, and clorilado. It has a rock in the center of the four states and when I was standing on it, I was basically not in any state so it means not in any country that means I'm not on the world right now. It Is very cold there and the wind can blow a little kid away, I think that place would be a great place to go for someone that is home watching t.v or playing videogames. We also went to some aboriginal houses underground and it's very cool! Though it costs a lot to go.
Today is a very bad day, I went to the national park of Utah. It' has lots of canyons and they are all very deep though it is not deeper than the canyons at the grand canyon of America. Canyon lands national park is for people from all places and it is awesome. It is very crazy today, snow follows me and my mom, dad, brother, and sister everywhere. It even snowed at the canyon! There are a lot of holes at dead horse national park. Alcoves at the national park was formed by ground water and erosion. This place is very magical.that is it for today.
The salt lake city is different from many other lakes, it has a lake full of salt when the other lakes I went to never had salt in them. It's pretty amazing once you see it, the people here get saltnfrom then lake and they use itnfor what you use salt for, cook! I went to a place called duds and opts very cool, whoever is reading this shouldnreally try out their hamburger, it's just so amazing that you can't stop until it's last bit is eaten off.
