1. Hacking Methodology & Planning

Structured approach to offensive engagements.

• Phases: Recon → Scanning → Gaining Access → Maintaining Access → Covering Tracks.

• Checklist: Define scope, obtain "Get Out of Jail Free" letter, and verify legal boundaries.

• Goal: Move from low-privileged user or external network to Domain Admin or Data Exfiltration.

2. Reconnaissance & OSINT

• Passive: Use Shodan, Google Dorks, and WHOIS.

• Active: Nmap (Port scanning), Wireshark (Traffic analysis), and Subdomain enumeration (Sublist3r).

• Tools: Find exposed Jenkins, Git configs, or unsecured API endpoints.

3. Exploitation (Web, API, Cloud)

• Web: Master the OWASP Top 10.

• SQL Injection: Use SQLMap for automation.

• XSS/HTML Injection: Bypass CSP and steal cookies.

• Path Traversal/LFI: Read /etc/passwd or configuration files.

• IDOR: Access other users' data by manipulating IDs.

• API: Fuzzing with Burp Suite, testing for Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA).

• Cloud (AWS/Azure): Target S3 misconfigurations, Metadata SSRF, and Lambda exploitation.

4. Post-Exploitation & PrivEsc

• Metasploit Framework: Use for payload generation and session management.

• Linux PrivEsc: Check for SUID binaries, kernel exploits, and misconfigured cron jobs.

• Windows PrivEsc: Target DLL hijacking, Token Impersonation, and unquoted service paths.

• Active Directory: Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, and BloodHound enumeration.

5. Reporting & Remediation

• Evidence: Collect screenshots, logs, and reproduction scripts (PoC).

• Severity: Rank finds via CVSS (0-10).

• Remediation: Provide clear, developer-friendly fixes (e.g., "Use parameterized queries" instead of "Fix SQL Injection").

🛠️ Execution Protocol

• Classify Sector: Network, Web, Cloud, or Mobile?

• Phase 1: Recon: Gather target intel.

• Phase 2: Scanning: Identify services and versions.

• Phase 3: Attack: Select and execute the specific exploit logic above.

• Phase 4: PrivEsc: Elevate permissions if possible.

• Final Report: Synthesize findings for the user.
