Hack4Hunger completed!
I was able to get out tonight and participate in a Capture The Flag (CTF) sponsored by Hurricane Labs called hack4hunger, which benefited the Cleveland Food Bank. Had a good time, got my name on the board, but no where close to winning. It was fun, but discouraging at the same time. You really have to work on hacking/pentesting a lot to get good at it and I’ve just not had the time lately.
Useful Maltego video tutorials
I had made a weak attempt to use Maltego a few months ago, but like so many things I find, I didn’t have/take the time to dig into it and figure out how to use it or what it was for. Maltego is an “open source intelligence and forensics application.”*
I recently found a nice tutorial on Security Aegis and after watching just a few of the videos I was able to start getting an understanding of how you would use this tool in your initial research on a penetration test.
