🐍 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….
🐍 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…
🐍 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…
🐍 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.
