🕸 Linux Privilege Escalation Mastery
🐍 Series: Open Deception Framework (ODF) | Arc: 2 Series 1, Blog 2: From SUID chaining to container escapes. 🐧 From Foothold to Full Kernel On Linux systems, the first foothold is rarely the last word. More often, an attacker arrives as a low-privilege user, a shell with boundaries. The challenge, and the true test of skill, is to turn that fragment of access into complete control. This process, known as privilege escalation, is not just a set of tricks….
🕸 Web Exploitation Deep Dive: From SQLi to RCE and Beyond
🐍 Series: Open Deception Framework (ODF) | Arc: 1 Series 1, Blog 1: Chaining multiple weaknesses together. ☠️ Attack Sequencing for Escalation Attackers rarely settle for exploiting a single flaw. What makes real-world breaches devastating is not the discovery of one vulnerability, but the ability to chain multiple weaknesses together into a sequence of escalating attacks. Think of it as crossing a river: each vulnerability is a stepping stone, and with enough stones lined up, an attacker can reach the…
🕸 Advanced Reconnaissance and Enumeration
🐍 Series: Open Deception Framework (ODF) | Arc: 0 Series 1, Blog 0: An Introduction to operation – mapping the terrain. 🧭 Mapping Terrain In cybersecurity, reconnaissance (“recon”) is the crucial first stage in any penetration test or attack simulation. It’s the art and science of finding every possible target surface before you attempt to exploit it. If hacking were a heist movie, recon is the part where the crew studies blueprints, patrol patterns, and security cameras – but here, the…
🛡️ Genesis: Lockdown
👻 Series: Ghost Team Secure Shell (GTSS) | Arc: 0 🛡️ Cloaking the shell, hardening the core In a world where every click, login, and command leaves a digital footprint, some environments require absolute silence. This is not a hypothetical need. It’s a growing requirement among researchers, forensic analysts, and red teams operating in hostile or high-stakes environments — where even metadata can betray intent. In such contexts, the very act of booting a machine, logging in over SSH, or…
🕸 The Open Deception Framework (ODF)
🐍 Series: Deception Security | Arc: 0 🕸 Outsmarting Attackers with Their Own Curiosity Most security tools are reactive – they detect an attack and try to stop it.Deception security flips that idea on its head. Instead of waiting, you create bait that looks valuable but is actually a trap. When an attacker interacts with it, you collect intelligence about their methods, tools, and even their identity. Subscribe now What is Deception Security? Deception means planting false assets in your…
Ghost Team Ops: The Anomaly Hits
T-10… And counting.
At 02:47 UTC, a malformed certificate struck one of our nodes. It wasn’t signed, didn’t match any known threat intel, and yet… it mirrored elements of our own dropper logic. No issuing authority. Obfuscated headers. Synthetic entropy.
We reconstructed the path, built the logic chain, and launched Operation Groundglass. It’s not a lecture. It’s a drill. Week 0 of Ghost Team Ops starts here.
How can you hack something that doesn’t exist?
Welcome to Ghost Ops — where cyber operations meet field-grade pursuit. This isn’t theory; it’s a live ops lab. Expect stealth infrastructure, red team tactics, OSINT workflows, and real adversarial emulation. Every case is hands-on. Every layer hides more. Stay hidden. Stay sharp. Stay ghost.
