✴ Quick update, there will be most certainly a delay in Sherlocks' writeups publishing as because of following the rule "from most to least solves" my stupid ass started solving the active ones for which I am not allowed to publish writeups yet 😅

So I have 4 of these waiting in queue, but can't really do anything about them now 😬

Since Windows XP, the system caches pieces of applications information over an executable after it is run to speed up the future application load time. Using one of Eric Zimmerman's Tools you can see many more details than you think of.

Have you seen the Break The Glass Account or Break Glass Procedure somewhere in your organization?

"Break-glass access is granted through a dedicated break-glass account which is traditionally created in advance. The account is typically highly privileged and allows access to the most critical systems, like root accounts. For that reason, break-glass accounts are well monitored, documented, tested, and managed to avoid any misuse. "

Starting a new series of write-ups! I'd like to cover all Sherlocks from HackTheBox over next months, so stay tune!

Sherlocks are investigative challenges that test defensive security skills. I encourage you to try them out if you like digital forensics, incident response, post-breach analysis and malware analysis!

🦇 Would it be possible to solve the Capture The Flag event only by using AI models? With the popularization of ChatGPT and BingAI more and more script-kiddies and people without prior knowledge can create malware and malicious scripts to harm others.

But what if cybersecurity enthusiasts can use that power to prompt through the CTFs? Would that mean the end of one era in hacking competitions?
