OffSec Live | Astronaut

In this walkthrough of Astronaut, we demonstrated penetration testing techniques, highlighting the enumeration process, including using tools like Nmap for gathering information about the target's operating system and services.

Various cybersecurity topics were covered, such as binary exploitation, reverse engineering, and exploit development. We demoed vulnerability identification and exploitation, including using Python scripts for remote code execution. We emphasized the importance of understanding the type of vulnerability being exploited and concluded with successful exploitation, gaining root access, and discussing persistence …
