People often ask me "How did you learn how to hack?" The answer: by reading. This page is a collection of the blog posts and other articles that I have accumulated over the years of my journey. Enjoy!
- 3DS (not Nintendo) is a version controlled 3D modeling software used for developing satellites, rockets and many other important IP.
- By simply googling for
"chmod 777 /etc/environment"/etc/environment of the system allows for the executing of arbitrary shell scripts at reboot. So, this is just shell script code execution because of bad permissions. - Another interesting part of the article was actually trying to get this fixed. Who should you talk to? It turned out that the original creator of the software had been bought out by another company. So, all of their contact information was faulty. Eventually, the author got ahold of security people of the larger company and got the vulnerability fixed.
- For deployment-it-yourself products, viewing boot scripts and other things feels like a good way to find misconfigurations in the system.
