Conversion Therapy

Like Captain Hook and his temporal detectable crocodile, this graph haunts me and I hear a ticking clock when I open it.

Way back in the fall of 2020, three months before the election, the events in MAGA world were getting complex. I opened Maltego, pasted in a URL, used the Named Entity Recognition transform that accesses IBM’s Watson, and the initial graph filled with a dozen names. Now a thousand days have elapsed, there are 1,088 URLs in there, and an astonishing 2,908 names. The 5,672 entities and 13,011 links connecting them have become a sort of Rosetta stone, a thing that gets opened when reporters I know are fact checking complex flows of events.

But there’s trouble here. Maltego is a Java application and that graph is enormous. When you give Java more than 31 gigabytes of memory it switches to using 64 bit pointers and your actual usable space yield declines. If you need more than 31 gig, the next sensible number is not 32, it’s 49. A couple months ago I upped the allocated memory to 64 gig and that helped for a while. Now it really does need 80 gig if I’m going to work with that graph and pull a slice of it out in order to share with someone else.

There are other subtle problems that can’t easily be depicted in a screen shot. Twenty one Date/Time entities have crept into the graph.

And this is the real circus. There are 189 events … and an event is a child entity of … Location. They have timestamps as an internal attribute, but Maltego doesn’t really have any tools to handle temporal data.

This situation is untenable. That graph won’t work reliably on my desktop and only hardcore gamers have more capability than my setup. There are four other tools I use that can handle data relationships:

Gephi can handle a quarter million nodes in a graph but it lacks features for handling geospatial, temporal, or diverse entity data.

Graphistry is a web accessible GPU driven commercial alternative to Gephi, but with similar constraints on data types.

Tulip is an intriguing Gephi competitor, but more a framework for doing serious artwork with smaller datasets and richer network layout needs.

And that leaves Sentinel Visualizer. This is a full featured link analysis package meant for corporate fraud investigation, law enforcement, and intelligence activities. It’s Windows only, which pains me a bit, as I changed careers twenty five years ago to get out from under Microsoft’s marketing weasel driven chaos. But I think I’ve got something workable here:

So that’s Windows 10, and I’ve got it treed in a VirtualBox VM. I gave it 40 gig of memory and ten of twelve cores. I spent an evening Googling and fiddling with virtualization settings and I’ve finally got something usable in terms of speed.

Every other OS you can install in a VM, give it some resources, and it’ll just run. Windows seems to need the Guest Additions installed, a couple reboots, cursing in English and one other optional language of your choice, another install of Guest Additions, and then giving up and walking away in disgust overnight. Complete this ritual and you’ll be left with an operational system.

If this were an actual physical system we would not be having this conversation. Microsoft’s utter disrespect for the value of my time in the 1990s was intolerable and in this area I have not mellowed with age. But with a Linux host and VMware I can do essentially instant backup and restore using the ZFS snapshot feature and it’s possible to export the machine in OVA format as an offline backup.

And that's the first step data wise. I fed it an export of names, then some URLs. I'm puzzling over how to use Maltego's internal UUID with Sentinel Visualizer, without smearing an endless blur of visually very similar strings all over the display.

I have a couple projects in mind with this:

The MAGA world meltdown graph has to be either moved or abandoned.

There are a LOT of interesting datasets from Ukraine that involve both geospatial and temporal data.

There are famous historical battles that are well documented enough to make for a nice graph, but I've yet to see a source that offers both geospatial and temporal data in tabular form.

So that's the direction we're headed for the second half of 2023. If I get something worthwhile put together, I will make it available for use with Sentinel Visualizer Reader.

OSINT là viết tắt của “open source intelligence”. Khái niệm này ám chỉ việc tìm kiếm thông tin mà bạn có thể truy cập hợp pháp, thông qua các phương tiện hợp pháp. OSINT chủ yếu được thực hiện trực tuyến, nhưng nó cũng có thể được thực hiện ngoại tuyến. Pentesters sử dụng OSINT để nghiên cứu các mục tiêu của họ và các chuyên gia tình báo về mối đe dọa sử dụng OSINT để tìm hiểu về các mối đe dọa mạng. OSINT là một công cụ quan trọng cho cả đội đỏ và đội xanh. Dưới đây là một số công cụ phổ biến nhất cho OSINT. 10 công cụ OSINT mà hacker cần biết Shodan Shodan là một công cụ tìm kiếm các thiết bị mạng có thể khai thác trên internet, chẳng hạn như máy chủ và thiết bị IoT. Có thể khai thác tức là có thể truy cập công khai. Có thể đặt một máy chủ, thiết bị ngoại vi IoT hoặc thiết bị mạng trên internet và định cấu hình nó tương đối riêng tư và khó lấy dấu vân tay. Nhưng nếu một thiết bị được kết nối với Internet mà không có cấu hình bảo mật cẩn thận, bạn có thể tìm thấy thiết bị đó thông qua Shodan với các tìm kiếm phù hợp. Sử dụng Shodan mà không có tài khoản trả phí sẽ trả về một số lượng kết quả tìm kiếm rất hạn chế. Tài khoản trả phí hữu ích hơn rất nhiều nếu loại nghiên cứu không gian mạng OSINT mà bạn thực hiện yêu cầu khám phá máy chủ, thiết bị mạng và thiết bị ngoại vi IoT (chẳng hạn như máy ảnh). Maltego Maltego chạy như một ứng dụng dành riêng cho máy tính để bàn Windows, Mac và Linux, cho phép người dùng truy cập vào nhiều nguồn dữ liệu cho các mục đích OSINT, nghiên cứu báo chí và pháp y. Có hơn 58 nguồn dữ liệu trong Maltego tính đến thời điểm mình viết bài này, bao gồm mã hóa địa lý Google Maps, AlienVault OTX, ATII Hades Darkweb Intelligence, Blockchain.info, Crowdstrike, VirusTotal, và nhiều nguồn khác. Mình hy vọng số lượng nguồn dữ liệu được tích hợp vào Maltego sẽ tăng lên theo thời gian. Giá trị mà Maltego cung cấp cho các nhà nghiên cứu không chỉ ở bộ sưu tập nguồn dữ liệu khổng lồ mà còn ở cách nền tảng của nó có thể hiển thị cho người dùng các mẫu và xu hướng dữ liệu thông qua biểu đồ hình ảnh có thể tùy chỉnh cao. Lên đến một triệu thực thể có thể được vẽ trong biểu đồ mà Maltego tạo. Tất nhiên, bạn có thể tận dụng tất cả các tính năng của Maltego nhưng không phải là miễn phí, mặc dù họ sẽ cho phép bạn xem bản demo trước khi bạn quyết định đăng ký. Nhưng nếu bạn không muốn trả tiền, Maltego Community Edition miễn phí vẫn có thể rất hữu ích. Google Dorks Google Dorks không phải là một ứng dụng. Đúng hơn, đó là một kỹ thuật sử dụng công cụ tìm kiếm Google mà mọi người đều sử dụng hàng ngày. Đừng đi tìm ứng dụng Google Dorks chính thức, ứng dụng này không tồn tại đâu. Nhưng có những nhà phát triển đã phát triển các công cụ phần mềm mã nguồn mở cho Google Dorking mà bạn có thể thử, chẳng hạn như Pagodo và GoogleDorker. Một chiến lược Google Dorking điển hình bắt đầu bằng việc sử dụng các truy vấn tìm kiếm đơn giản và sau đó chuyển sang các truy vấn phức tạp hơn. Hầu hết mọi người chỉ nhập các chuỗi văn bản vào tìm kiếm của Google, chẳng hạn như “dự báo thời tiết” hoặc “abc xyz”. Nhưng có một số toán tử tìm kiếm có thể được sử dụng trong tìm kiếm của Google để trả lại nhiều kết quả đúng ý định của bạn hơn. Ví dụ: bạn có thể thử “site: anonyviet.com” để tìm kiếm cụ thể trên trang web của mình hoặc sử dụng các dấu ngoặc kép xung quanh một cụm từ tìm kiếm để chỉ trả về kết quả có sử dụng cụm từ tìm kiếm chính xác đó. Google cung cấp danh sách các mẹo để tinh chỉnh các tìm kiếm trên Google của bạn tại đây. Rất nhiều trang web được cấu hình rất kém khi nói đến an ninh mạng. Các bot thu thập thông tin web của Google hoạt động hiệu quả nhất trên web khi chúng có quyền truy cập để khám phá. Vì vậy, Google Dorking có thể là một kỹ thuật để tìm dữ liệu như địa chỉ email, thông tin đăng nhập và số ngân hàng chưa được bảo mật đúng cách. Recon-ng Recon-ng là một công cụ do thám web mã nguồn mở. Sức mạnh của nó sẽ được tăng lên bởi các mô-đun mà bạn có thể cài đặt cho nó. Nếu bạn sử dụng Recon-ng một cách hiệu quả, bạn có thể tiết kiệm rất nhiều thời gian trong việc nghiên cứu OSINT.

Recon-ng có thể chạy từ dòng lệnh. Nếu bạn muốn làm cho Recon-ng hữu ích cho mục đích của mình, hãy chọn tùy chọn Marketplace từ menu chính và khám phá những gì có sẵn. Có một số lượng lớn các mô-đun mà bạn có thể thử, với nhiều mô-đun được cải tiến và bổ sung liên tục. Nếu bạn cảm thấy thoải mái với dòng lệnh và bạn muốn OSINT hoạt động hiệu quả hơn nhiều, Recon-ng có thể trở thành một trong những công cụ yêu thích của bạn. Ahmia.fi Ahmia.fi là một công cụ tìm kiếm đặc biệt để tìm các trang web trên Mạng Tor, mặc dù bản thân công cụ tìm kiếm này cũng có thể truy cập được trên “clearnet”. Nhưng bạn sẽ cần Tor Browser để mở kết quả tìm kiếm Tor của bạn. Rất nhiều chỗ mua bán và diễn đàn nằm trên Mạng Tor, vì vậy việc sử dụng hiệu quả công cụ tìm kiếm Ahmia.fi có thể là một phương pháp tuyệt vời cho công việc pháp y OSINT của bạn. Wayback Machine Các trang web cũ đã chết giờ nằm ở đâu? Wayback Machine là một công cụ tìm kiếm của hơn 632 tỷ trang web và đang tăng lên, nhiều trang web bắt nguồn từ những năm 1990. Archive.org đang sử dụng Wayback Machine để lưu trữ nhiều web nhất có thể. Bạn cũng có thể sử dụng trang web của họ để tự lưu trữ các trang web hiện đang trực tuyến theo cách thủ công. Nếu và khi các trang web và máy chủ web bị xóa hoặc chuyển sang chế độ ngoại tuyến, một bản sao đã lưu trữ có thể được tìm thấy thông qua Wayback Machine. Cá nhân mình đã tìm thấy các trang web được lưu trữ từ năm 1994 đến năm 2021 thông qua công cụ này. Và điều thực sự thú vị là bạn thường có thể sử dụng các liên kết trong các trang web đã lưu trữ để chuyển đến kho lưu trữ của các trang web khác đó. theHarvester theHarvester là một công cụ do thám mã nguồn mở hữu ích khác mà bạn có thể cài đặt từ GitHub. Nó có thể được sử dụng để lấy địa chỉ email, máy chủ, tên miền phụ, tên nhân viên và mở các cổng internet từ nhiều nguồn công cộng khác nhau như công cụ tìm kiếm, máy chủ khóa PGP và Shodan. Khi Harvester được cài đặt, bạn có thể dễ dàng chạy ứng dụng từ dòng lệnh của mình. Có một bộ tùy chọn đặc biệt phong phú để khám phá dữ liệu trong máy chủ DNS. Máy chủ DNS có tất cả các loại thông tin rất hữu ích vì chúng liên kết tên miền với các địa chỉ IP cụ thể. Một số nguồn dữ liệu yêu thích của mình mà bạn có thể khám phá vớiHarvester bao gồm LinkedIn, Bing, Google và VirusTotal. TinEye TinEye là một công cụ mạnh mẽ để nghiên cứu hình ảnh trực tuyến. Nếu bạn có một hình ảnh trên thiết bị cục bộ của mình, bạn có thể tải nó lên TinEye và xem hình ảnh đó có được sử dụng trên các web khác hay không và như thế nào. Một trường hợp sử dụng rõ ràng nhất là nếu bạn có ảnh của người nào đó mà bạn không biết danh tính và bạn muốn tìm hiểu họ là ai. Nhưng có nhiều trường hợp sử dụng khác, chẳng hạn như "bức ảnh này được chụp ở đâu?" hoặc "đây là ảnh chụp màn hình của ứng dụng nào?" Ngược lại, nếu bạn có URL của hình ảnh trên web, bạn cũng có thể tiến hành nghiên cứu theo cách đó. TinEye cũng hữu ích để duy trì sự riêng tư của bạn. Ví dụ: có lẽ bạn nên bảo vệ quyền riêng tư của con mình. TinEye có thể thông báo cho bạn biết nếu và khi nào ảnh của con bạn được chia sẻ trực tuyến. OSINT Framework OSINT Framework là ứng dụng web hoàn hảo nếu bạn không chắc mình sẽ cần sử dụng nguồn dữ liệu OSINT nào để tìm thông tin bạn muốn. Vì vậy, OSINT Framework giới thiệu cho bạn một cây khổng lồ các nguồn dữ liệu tiềm năng mà bạn có thể khám phá. Bạn có muốn phân tích tệp độc hại, tên người dùng, vị trí địa lý, địa chỉ IP, tên miền, IRC, Dark Web, siêu dữ liệu, thông tin về mối đe dọa, số điện thoại hoặc có thể là thứ gì khác không? Tiếp tục nhấp qua cây biểu đồ cho đến khi bạn tìm thấy nguồn mà bạn cần. OSINT Framework có thể là bước đầu tiên của bạn trong tất cả quá trình OSINT.

Accretion & Discretion

The content in my Evernote has been accumulating for the last 38 months, like a planetesimal expanding with each new asteroid it encounters. Those that grow large enough to become actual planets are in hydrodynamic equilibrium – rounded due to their gravity being sufficient to compact any type of mineral in their makeup. They all differentiate to some degree, with dense minerals sinking, and gasses escaping. This collection is now at the point of differentiation, only with a network sorting rather than vertical stratification.

This process has been … educational for me. Like my computer science education, my first career of handling enterprise LAN administration, and my move to service provider networking. My non-telecom pursuits have been similar – renewable energy, Democratic politics, and my meandering progress in all things sense making. Reading piles up around my interest of the moment, but those are all profit oriented.

As an autist of the more functional sort, I still do some very autismal things, I just don’t talk about them as much. The most visible among them was my two year pursuit of western history. Between that and the studies related to my conversion to Buddhism I spent quite a bit of time on the intersection of hypnosis and formal linguistic analysis. I wrote a great deal on food and water security with a focus that happened to be roughly the boundaries of the Ottoman empire at its peak, which was uncharacteristically noisy of me.

Over the years I’ve been described as: aloof, secretive, unknowable, and otherwise inaccessible. This is typically not a conscious act, it’s just my personal perch on the autism spectrum. But this time is different. What would normally be a private pursuit, perhaps occasionally surfacing in conversation, is now an intentional matryoshka, a riddle within a mystery, wrapped in my purportedly enigmatic ways.

I took a break in the middle of writing this to fiddle with the graph. I’ve discovered, and perhaps solved, a significant problem. If you’re counting noses there are eleven additional green dots, but that’s not eleven additional names. There are six new names and the outermost arc of those dots are just a bit darker than all the rest – they’re well known aliases.

Right now they are quite close on the graph. That’s not an accurate representation of reality, there’s a sharp divide between those first nine names and the six who just joined the mix.

And since this is Maltego, there isn’t really a good way to represent the temporal component. One group came first, and then the second arose, with just one “cross patched” between both groups. There’s a sense of betrayal in that crossing, but I’m not sure how, or even if I should say anything about it.

Ethical Hacking

When we talk of Ethical Hacking, the first thing that comes to mind is Ethical hackers. They are also known as “white hats,” ethical hackers are security experts that perform security assessments. The proactive work they do helps to improve an organization’s security posture. With prior approval from the organization or owner of the IT asset, the mission of ethical hacking is opposite from malicious hacking. 

What is Ethical Hacking

Ethical hacking involves an authorized attempt to gain unauthorized access to a computer system, application, or data. Carrying out an ethical hack involves duplicating strategies and actions of malicious attackers. This practice helps to identify security vulnerabilities which can then be resolved before a malicious attacker has the opportunity to exploit them.

What Differentiates Ethical Hacking from Other Types of Hacking

Ethical Hacking experts follow four key protocol concepts:

Stay legal. Obtain proper approval before accessing and performing a security assessment.

Define the scope. Determine the scope of the assessment so that the ethical hacker’s work remains legal and within the organization’s approved boundaries.

Report vulnerabilities. Notify the organization of all vulnerabilities discovered during the assessment. Provide remediation advice for resolving these vulnerabilities.

Respect data sensitivity. Depending on the data sensitivity, ethical hackers may have to agree to a non-disclosure agreement, in addition to other terms and conditions required by the assessed organization. 

Ethical Hacking Requirements

An ethical hacker should have a wide range of computer skills. They often specialize, becoming subject matter experts (SME) on a particular area within the ethical hacking domain.

All ethical hackers should have:

Expertise in scripting languages.

Proficiency in operating systems.

A thorough knowledge of networking.

A solid foundation in the principles of information security.

Some of the most well-known and acquired certifications include:

EC Council: Certified Ethical Hacking Certification

Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) Certification

CompTIA Security+

Cisco’s CCNA Security

SANS GIAC

How Does Ethical Hacking Work: Phases of Ethical Hacking

Ethical hacking is a process of detecting vulnerabilities in an application, system, or organization’s infrastructure that an attacker can use to exploit an individual or organization. They use this process to prevent cyberattacks and security breaches by lawfully hacking into the systems and looking for weak points.

An ethical hacker follows the steps and thought process of a malicious attacker to gain authorized access and test the organization’s strategies and network. An attacker or an ethical hacker follows the same five-step hacking process to breach the network or system.

The ethical hacking process begins with looking for various ways to hack into the system, exploiting vulnerabilities, maintaining steady access to the system, and lastly, clearing one’s tracks.

The five phases of ethical hacking are:

1. Reconnaissance

First in the ethical hacking methodology steps is reconnaissance, also known as the footprint or information gathering phase. The goal of this preparatory phase is to collect as much information as possible. Before launching an attack, the attacker collects all the necessary information about the target.

The data is likely to contain passwords, essential details of employees, etc. An attacker can collect the information by using tools such as HTTPTrack to download an entire website to gather information about an individual or using search engines such as Maltego to research about an individual through various links, job profile, news, etc.

Reconnaissance is an essential phase of ethical hacking. It helps identify which attacks can be launched and how likely the organization’s systems fall vulnerable to those attacks. Foot printing collects data from areas such as:

TCP and UDP services

Vulnerabilities

Through specific IP addresses

Host of a network

In ethical hacking, foot printing is of two types:

Active: This foot printing method involves gathering information from the target directly using Nmap tools to scan the target’s network.

Passive: The second foot printing method is collecting information without directly accessing the target in any way. Attackers or ethical hackers can collect the report through social media accounts, public websites, etc.

2. Scanning

The second step in the hacking methodology is scanning, where attackers try to find different ways to gain the target’s information. The attacker looks for information such as user accounts, credentials, IP addresses, etc. This step of ethical hacking involves finding easy and quick ways to access the network and skim for information.

Tools such as dialers, port scanners, network mappers, sweepers, and vulnerability scanners are used in the scanning phase to scan data and records. In ethical hacking methodology, four different types of scanning practices are used, they are as follows:

Vulnerability Scanning: This scanning practice targets the vulnerabilities and weak points of a target and tries various ways to exploit those weaknesses. It is conducted using automated tools such as Netsparker, OpenVAS, Nmap, etc.

Port Scanning: This involves using port scanners, dialers, and other data-gathering tools or software to listen to open TCP and UDP ports, running services, live systems on the target host. Penetration testers or attackers use this scanning to find open doors to access an organization’s systems.

Network Scanning: This practice is used to detect active devices on a network and find ways to exploit a network. It could be an organizational network where all employee systems are connected to a single network. Ethical hackers use network scanning to strengthen a company’s network by identifying vulnerabilities and open doors.

3. Gaining Access

The next step in hacking is where an attacker uses all means to get unauthorized access to the target’s systems, applications, or networks. An attacker can use various tools and methods to gain access and enter a system.

This hacking phase attempts to get into the system and exploit the system by downloading malicious software or application, stealing sensitive information, getting unauthorized access, asking for ransom, etc. Metasploit is one of the most common tools used to gain access, and social engineering is a widely used attack to exploit a target.

Ethical hackers and penetration testers can secure potential entry points, ensure all systems and applications are password-protected, and secure the network infrastructure using a firewall. They can send fake social engineering emails to the employees and identify which employee is likely to fall victim to cyberattacks.

4. Maintaining Access

Once the attacker manages to access the target’s system, they try their best to maintain that access. In this stage, the hacker continuously exploits the system, launches DDoS attacks, uses the hijacked system as a launching pad, or steals the entire database.

A backdoor and Trojan are tools used to exploit a vulnerable system and steal credentials, essential records, and more. In this phase, the attacker aims to maintain their unauthorized access until they complete their malicious activities without the user finding out.

Ethical hackers or penetration testers can utilize this phase by scanning the entire organization’s infrastructure to get hold of malicious activities and find their root cause to avoid the systems from being exploited.

5. Clearing Track

The last phase of ethical hacking requires hackers to clear their track as no attacker wants to get caught. This step ensures that the attackers leave no clues or evidence behind that could be traced back. It is crucial as ethical hackers need to maintain their connection in the system without getting identified by incident response or the forensics team.

It includes editing, corrupting, or deleting logs or registry values. The attacker also deletes or uninstalls folders, applications, and software or ensures that the changed files are traced back to their original value.

In ethical hacking, ethical hackers can use the following ways to erase their tracks:

Using reverse HTTP Shells

Deleting cache and history to erase the digital footprint

Using ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Tunnels

These are the five steps of the CEH hacking methodology that ethical hackers or penetration testers can use to detect and identify vulnerabilities, find potential open doors for cyberattacks and mitigate security breaches to secure the organizations.
