Hacking Windows 10: How to Turn Windows PCs into Web Proxies

A hacker with privileged access to a Windows 10 computer can configure it to act as a web proxy, which allows the attacker to target devices and services on the network through the compromised computer. The probes and attacks appear to originate from the Windows 10 computer, making it difficult to detect the attacker's actual location. The attack works with an OpenSSH server and Tor. In newer versions of Windows 10, an SSH server may already be installed and running, making it that much easier for attackers to abuse the service. While Tor is used in my example, other tools like ngrok and... more

About three weeks ago, we published our second CrackMe . It triggered a lot of interest, and we got many high-quality write-ups. Choosing the winner was really difficult! In this post, I am going to summarize the contest and comment on the received submissions. CrackMe 2 challenge The topic of the challenge was Python, and its goal was to teach how the Python scripts can be packaged and integrated with native executables.

Malwarebytes CrackMe 2: try another challenge

Last November, we released the first edition of the  Malwarebytes CrackMe . Encouraged by the positive response we received from the security community, we decided to repeat the game, hopefully making it even more interesting and entertaining. As before, the CrackMe is dedicated to malware analysts and to those who want to practice becoming them. That's why it is not just a set of some abstract riddles, but an exercise that walks through selected tricks that were used in real malware. (Expect some original schemes designed just for this game, too.) Of course, all is demonstrated on harmless examples, but we still recommend you use VM for reversing it so that it will not interfere with any antivirus protection. Rules of the contest There are two CrackMe contests: Capture the flag.  The first three submitted flags win. The flag should be submitted along with (minimalistic) notes about the steps taken to find it. (No detailed write-up is required.) Best write-up . Th...
