Another day, another challenge…

In this post, we’re starting a new series, the Advent of Cyber, hosted by TryHackMe. This is the fourth year of the Advent of Cyber, where a challenge is released every day leading to Christmas. There will be 25 challenges; we’re McSkidy, an elf trying to save Christmas.

In our eighth challenge, The Best Festival Company (TBFC) was using blockchain and attempting to mint cryptocurrency. It was determined TBFC was compromised, and all the currency was lost during the attack.

The topics explored in this challenge are smart contracts – the functionality, and a common security vulnerability called the re-entrancy attack.

Can we determine how to find and replay the attack? Find out below!

In our second challenge, we’re presented with a scenario where a web server, santagift.shop, has been hijacked by the Bandit Yeti APT group. Our task is to analyze the log files from the web server and track down the Bandit Yeti APT group.

The topics explored in this challenge are different ways to parse log files, such as Windows Event Viewer, and common system log files in Linux, such as the /var/log directory. And common commands such as grep are used to search for text in a file.

Can McSkidy parse the web server log files and track down the Bandit Yeti APT group? Find out below!

In our first challenge, we’re presented with a scenario where McSkidy discovered the Best Festival’s Company website has been defaced, and Santa cannot send gifts! McSkidy must complete three puzzles to determine who attacked Santa’s network and find the flag.

The topics explored in this challenge are security frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, MITRE Att&ck, Cyber Kill Chain, and Unified Kill Chain.

Can McSkidy solve the three puzzles to find the flag? Find out below!
