In the conditions of a difficult economic situation in the world, cases of hacker attacks on financial organizations have become more frequent. Despite the use of modern means of protection, the management of SaS Bank * is extremely worried about security and asks you, professional hackers, to check how well its structure is protected.
* Fictional title. All matches with the names of these organizations is an accident.
This is my third test lab. It seemed to me much more competitive than the previous ones, people united in groups to solve problems. It is interesting that a sufficiently high entry threshold was set - the first three tasks were much more difficult than the next 5. The tasks “cabinet”, “DB”, “java-test” and, of course, the last and most difficult rear ones - “dev -test. It took me almost a week to develop a solution to this problem, since At first I tried to attack this machine in a manner not intended by the developers. I almost succeeded - “wpad injection” successfully worked and I could look and answer the requests of the windows update service, but it did not work further on this way. As always, during the assignments I studied a lot of new things. Once again, I thank the developers of Test Lab 8 for a great opportunity to practice and I wish you success in the development of the project.Orlov Pavel, Zlo
First of all I want to thank the organizers for the work done to create this laboratory. This is an excellent platform to test your knowledge and get new ones. The tasks in the laboratory are difficult and interesting. A variety of tools were used to solve problems, but with the default settings, not all brought the desired result. And some tokens are hidden in the most unexpected places. Of course, I would like to mention the task “dev-tester”, in which a lot of effort was spent on establishing contact with the “tester”. But in the end, he gave up and issued a token. It was fascinating.Andriyanov Maxim, max3raza
If you decide to go through "Test lab v.8", then here is the first advice for you toTagiyev Nijat, Nijatleaveto talk to a girl / wife, stock up on valerian and energy drinks because you spend a lot of time and nerves there - but it's worth it! Probably, the 8th laboratory turned out to be the most interesting, to be honest - it is very difficult for one to cope here, it is advisable to find a partner, and even better to assemble a team, but if you are a mega-coochacker, then go ahead. Many tasks were very interesting and required good analysis, some tasks were easy, but you should not immediately rejoice, because light tasks have a token well hidden. The most interesting and difficult task was “dev-tester”, a week of sleepless nights and searches at the end brought results and we were the first to solve such a difficult task. As a person who has gone through the whole laboratory, I can say “Start to go through it! It’s very, very interesting, and you’ll learn a lot that you’ve never seen before. ” Good luck everyone.
