How Hackers Bypass Firewalls?!

Summary: The video discusses an advanced hacking tutorial focused on exploiting application security vulnerabilities within the Tiki Wiki website version 1.9.5. The tutorial demonstrates how to bypass security controls, achieve remote command execution, and gain full control over the server by manipulating payloads through the use of tools like Burp Suite.

Keypoints:

• The tutorial is aimed at both novice and experienced hackers, with a focus on application security layers and bypassing security controls.
• The version of Tiki Wiki being targeted is 1.9.5, which may contain specific vulnerabilities.
• Utilization of SearchSploit helps identify exploitable vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting and remote command execution.
• Burp Suite is used to intercept and modify requests for testing different payloads against the website.
• The presenter demonstrates creating a malicious PHP shell file on the server to execute system commands.
• Challenges arise due to security measures that filter and remove special characters from the input payloads.
• Creative use of the CHR function is employed to circumvent security filtering and successfully create payloads.
• Successful execution of commands like ‘ls’ and ‘cat’ allows the hacker to read sensitive files and gain crucial information such as database credentials.
• The tutorial emphasizes understanding the underlying vulnerabilities and how to creatively exploit them.
• The presenter encourages viewers to keep learning and stay tuned for more ethical hacking tutorials.
