So, Peleus released a vulnerable VM on VulnHub, also known as a “boot2root”, called Hell.
A lot of the techniques in this VM are known to me apart from the very last step. I will go through my thought process for each step and how I managed to go from enumeration to a root shell.

BSides London, BSides London… what can I say about BSides London… Well, for one it’s small - if you’re expecting a massive convention like Defcon you will be sorely disappointed. But the size doesn’t matter when you get to meet revered infosec people like Jack Daniel (Tenable) , Martin McKeay, Tod Beardsley (Metasploit) et al and talk to them on a one to one level about anything (I had a conversation about Hello Kitty with Tod B - that says a lot). Oh, and don’t forget the fact that staff members from the ever so epic Offensive Security were there too - I’m looking at you g0tmi1k :D It was also nice to meet up with Nullmode (forever known as N0tmi1k) and Arr0way as well and chat randomly about anything and everything that came to mind.

Anyway, quick and simple post this one - I’ll be at both events. You can tweet me @recrudesce if you want to meet up and say “hi”.
If you’re going too, have a good time - remember to get loads of swag ;)
Have you ever purposefully put yourself in a situation that makes you run around the house in glee, and then five minutes later makes you want to put your head through a door ? No ? Maybe you should try OSCP. If being constantly told to “try harder” doesn’t make you want to embed a brick into your eye socket, then maybe this is for you…
After much research into the Certified Ethical Hacker course, the term “OSCP” kept cropping up in my google searches. OSCP… OSCP… what is this mythical OSCP of which you speak !?
