How I Did Not Get a Shell- 93

  • Penetration testing is soo hard! We always read about when the stars aligned and the person gets the shell... This article is about the person not getting the shell.
  • Diving into the shell... Map out the shells capabilities and see what is going on. Are these custom, out-of-date or standard binaries? What flags are allowed to be used with the command?
  • Interesting how they figured what shell was being ran...By seeing an error message for a particular option.
  • Just watching the progression of all the thoughts and ideas for the penetration test (even the mistakes) was really interesting!
