GTFOBins: Exploiting Dangerous Capabilities for Privilege Escalation

Introduction: In our previous blog post, we explored how to use the getcap command in Linux to identify binaries with dangerous capabilities that could potentially be exploited for privilege escalation. In this follow-up post, we will delve into leveraging the power of GTFOBins (Get The F**k Out Binary) to escalate privileges using these identified binaries. GTFOBins provides a curated list of Unix binaries and their abuse potential, opening up avenues for privesc.

Exploring Linux Privilege Escalation: Unveiling Exploitable Binaries with getcap

Introduction: Privilege escalation is a critical concern in Linux system security. One common avenue for achieving privilege escalation is through exploitable binaries. In this blog post, we will explore how to utilise the getcap command in Linux to identify binaries that possess dangerous capabilities, providing potential opportunities for privesc. What is getcap? The getcap command is used to retrieve the file capabilities of binaries in Linux systems. File capabilities are a feature introduced to enhance security by providing specific permissions to execute certain operations without requiring full root privileges.

8 Bit Is the Future

The 8-Bit Revolution: How We’ve Been Doing It All Wrong It’s time to admit it, folks. We’ve been sold a lie. The so-called “progress” of technology that has led us from 16-bit computers to 32-bit and now 64-bit machines has been nothing but a giant step backwards. The future of computing lies not in more bits, but in fewer. That’s right, I’m talking about the glorious return of the 8-bit computer.
