Introduction File and Hash Threat Intel is a beginner-friendly blue team challenge hosted on TryHackMe, designed to help SOC analysts and cybersecurity learners build practical skills in malware detection, hash analysis, and threat intelligence workflows. This room simulates real-world scenarios where attackers disguise malicious files using misleading names and extensions, requiring defenders to investigate using hash
Introduction When most people think of malware, they imagine ransomware encrypting thousands of files or spyware silently recording keystrokes. Yet in recent years, a quieter and far more dangerous adversary has emerged: PS1 malware. These are malicious PowerShell scripts designed to execute in memory, evade detection, and blend into legitimate administrative tasks.Unlike a traditional Trojan,
Introduction In the realm of cybersecurity, understanding how backdoors function is crucial for both offensive and defensive strategies. A backdoor is a method of bypassing normal authentication or encryption in a computer system, allowing unauthorized access to data or systems. These covert pathways can be exploited by malicious actors to gain control over a system without detection, leading to significant
Introduction Reverse engineering is a systematic analysis process aimed at understanding the operational principles of an existing product or system. This process can be applied to software, hardware, or mechanical systems and plays a critical role in areas such as security analysis, product development, and the creation of innovative solutions. By enabling a deeper understanding of complex systems, reverse engineering also lays
Introduction In the digital age, cyber security has become an essential domain that safeguards sensitive information, maintains data integrity, and protects user privacy. As cyber threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, the need for effective tools and methodologies to combat these threats has never been greater. In this context, the Python programming language stands out as a powerful ally for
Introduction Cybersecurity has become a critical field in an ever-evolving threat landscape. Cyber attackers often use Command and Control (C2) infrastructures to execute and manage their attacks. These infrastructures enable malicious software and attackers to communicate with victim devices. A C2 Tracker is a tool that helps detect and prevent cyber threats by monitoring and analyzing these communications. This article will
