What’s good y’all?

In this episode we’ll take a look at brute-forcing a VeraCrypt container using Hashcat.

For starters I want to say that I’m a huge VeraCrypt fan and use it all the time, for a long time. Long enough to remember when it was, originally, called TrueCrypt before the project was abandoned.

I caught myself thinking: how long would it actually take to brute-force specific password masks? That’s when I decided to put it to the test using Hashcat and an operating system equipped with a graphics card.

Let’s find out! 🙂

What’s up guys!

Hope y’all been alright lately. I’ve been studying a bunch as part of a certification package I was awarded – focused on network security. While I’m excited to do it and learn a lot of cool stuff, it’s also draining pretty much all my free time.

While I’ve been doing this certification I’ve had to dive deep into a lot of theory-oriented network stuff like frames, packets and all those meaningless terminologies. It’s so much theory that I had to install Scapy just to see some of these packets in action and get hands-on with the damn thing – I mean seriously if you’ve taken some of these certs you’re probably used to how dry and boring it gets just reading about protocols and not actually doing anything.

Anyway we are here to talk about Scapy today and not my boring life 🙂

What is Scapy?

To put it simply, its a packet sniffing and crafting program. There is a lot more you can do with it like decoding certain protocols and interacting with Wireshark captures among other cool things (see the documentation page).

What’s up guys!

In this video we’re going to help out my friend to recover his pictures and videos that he lost when he formatted his computer without backing up.

Oooooops! 😀

The tool we’ll be using is Recuva – an extremely easy to use program for Windows (that can also be used from Windows live like Hiren’s).

Let’s get started…

What’s going on guys?

At this point you should know I love my crafty USBs with a lot of utility. So for this post I wanted to make one including pretty much everything I use:

• Kali Linux
• Kon-Boot
• Hiren’s Boot CD
• Clonezilla
• Windows Installers
• and more…

The main idea is that instead of carrying several USBs around, we can simply buy one big USB – I recommend at least 64gb or more – and have everything configured in one swiss hacker USB. 😀

We will create this USB under Windows operating system using a tool I just found out about called YUMI – Your Universal Multiboot Installer.

Yooo! What’s going on?

Here we are with the last part of our Ionic card matching game!

Out of all the parts, this will be the shortest one given we have put in so much work already in the previous parts one through three.

If you’ll remember, in part three we had left off with a fully functioning level that had a time and life counter, along with the displayed cards.

This time around, we will basically use that same code to create another two levels and then we’ll cover some other small interface details.

Coding Summary

Let’s begin by creating another two pages (one for each other level):
