Hacking WIN.
On September - 4 - 2009
I’m at RMR….slightly inebriated. (Hey what do you want? It’s Friday and I have no where do go and nothing to do.) Anyway my cohort Mr. Dale had the most excellent story to share with me today. So dale is teaching a five day CEH class. (Certified ethical hacking)
And at the end of every week he does a “hack into my computer” lab. The idea being to hack into his machine and retrieve some files. Right? So all his students go to work, but when the lab is finally over, it was discovered that one of his students took everyone for a spin.
So dale gives the go-ahead for everyone to try to steal the file on his computer. Without missing a beat, one of his students runs metasploit, creates an admin account on Dale’s machine, and sets up a remote connection… but wait. It gets better. In the mean time, he sets up a virtual machine which he has spoofed as Dale’s IP address, and then sets up a Honey Pot that even has legitimate looking files on it. So while everyone is trying hack into “Dale’s machine” this guy is downloading the original files off Dale’s actual machine. Fucking gold. It made my nipples a little firm. THIS is the guy you both want to look out for, AND you want to do you IT security work for you.
W00t. I’ll spell check tomorrow.
