1.2 Million Unique Passwords List

Hey Guys,

I Have created a brand new 1,290,141 Unique (No duplicates) Custom password list. Combines the most common passwords that have been hacked from 2012-2015, and a ton of custom passwords I've created and used over the years, even recently. The list requires a donation, to which you choose how much or how little. Most people donate $5.00 USD. After the donation, you should be redirected to the direct download. If there is an issue, kindly send me an email with your PayPal confirmation number or email address and I will personally send you a copy.

This literally took me hours and hours to compile, de-duplicate, and package. Once you check out with paypal, it will direct you to a download. Please keep that in mind!

Thanks! And as always, Enjoy!

We're Back! New Script

Hey Guys,

So, like I mentioned in my latest video, I am indeed back, and I brought presents! I Created a basic script to help in being able to quick launch msfconsole (Metasploit) without having to remember all of the commands and services that are needed each and every time you go to use the framework. Check out our downloads page for a direct link to our sourceforge page.

Please leave me some feed back here or on twitter @LearnNetSec

Enjoy!

Updated 8-24-15

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to post an update as to what I am currently up to. First, I see Kali Linux 2.0 is out and that's exciting! I went ahead and ordered a new (to me) laptop, and that should be to me by the 29th. First thing will be installing Kali Linux 2.0. In reading the docs for Kali 2.0, I realized that there are some scripts I can write to certainly save some time, and make stuff easier for the Kali Community, to which I will do as soon as I install it. So keep an eye out for that.

I am searching through my old backups looking for data from the www.learnnetsec.com website. UGH, it may not be as easy as I thought to get the site back and going. But, that said, I want to make it bigger, better, more content, more hacker challenges, forums, learning portals, etc. So until then, this site is serving as the backup. Please subscribe to it. For now, the domain www.learnnetsec.com is forwarded to this one, until I get this resolved. 

I am very active on twitter again, so check me out there @LearnNetSec 

I am very excited to be back and at it again guys, honestly. I have found new software to edit videos on Linux, and of course its open source! So good bye windows! Once and for all! 

Stay Tuned,

Updates: Next Week

Starting Next Week:

I am going to begin compiling the data for the presentation on "Phases of NetSec" which will discuss all of the details, steps, etc in Network Security Auditing and Penetration Testing. So far it's 13 slides of just talking points, so there is a lot of ground to cover. 

I am trying to figure out how to Produce the Video. Meaning it's obviously going to have to be done in parts since there is so much information to cover. 

While I am working on that, don't forget to check out the newest video:
Tor-Buddy Script Demo Tor + Proxychains + Anonymous DNS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AedFlLSmJf8

I will still be making Quick Vids based on your guys input on what you would like to learn in the interim. We have had 2 requests so far, 1 for nmap and one for VM-tools for kali linux. nmap will be included in the next video set: "Phases of NetSec".

Remember, please don't forget to like and share our videos, Facebook, and of course this very blog with all of your friends, family, and co-workers! Our presence on the web has been growing steadily, and that is great! The more people interested, the more creative I can be! 

Thanks Guys! See you in the next Video!

Updated OpenVAS-6 OpenVAS EZ Startup Script

Updated OpenVAS-6 OpenVAS EZ Startup Script

I have updated the OpenVAS-6 EZ Setup script located HERE to include not only the startup script I wrote but also the Check-Setup script provided by OpenVAS for debugging purposes. I decided to do this to help users who are having difficulty getting it setup or running.

I am also working on the ToR auto script tonight as mentioned in the video "Installing and Configuring ToR + Proxychains as seen HERE so Stay tuned for that script and a video showing it's usages :-)

Enjoy! And Stay Tuned! 

What's Up Next?

Hey Guys,

As I am sure most of you have already seen, I uploaded what was intended to be a new Video Intro last night that turned out to be more of a Trailer of what is to come in the next few videos. That Video is HERE in case you missed it.

We will be discussing the "Meat and Potatoes" of actually Hacking. Finally! But, it's way to much information to stuff in one video, even my infamous 45+ minute videos. We will start with an overview of what we are going to learn via Presentation slides and explaining each and every topic. Then we will move on to actually Hacking the Network. Explaining what to use, how, why, where, and when in great detail, as always. This is why it must be a multi-part video. We have a lot to cover!

Moving forward from that, we are going to go into Advanced Techniques, such as firewall/IDS/IPS evasion tactics, Packet Analysis, Reporting, Etc.

I will also be making a few videos in the interim, like, Building a real Virtual Lab using ProxMox (Free), Different types of attacks, like MITM, etc.

So Stay Tuned Guys! It's about to get really interesting!

Update: New Intro

The New Video Intro:

Okay, Okay, so the new intro really didn't turn out to be a 3 minute or less intro like I planned, however it came out pretty awesome as a Trailer of things to come in the next few videos. It's basically me beating up some boxes on the LAN :-) Video link to follow post upload!

I do still think that the very beginning of the Trailer video has potential to be good footage for an intro to new videos. I just need to edit the intro start song to be 30 seconds but still sound good! I think I can, I think I can!

Rendering video now, and uploading soon!

It's Monday!

Hey Guys,

Hope you enjoyed your weekend. I apologize for making a post so late in the day, but, well, it's Manic Monday here!

The day is un-winding now. I am hoping to get the new intro done today/tonight. Then I want to move onto getting my virtual lab finished so we can resume Hacking the machines in there on the videos. I am going to redo the lab, because I want to further segment it, and put a Virtual Router/Firewall in place to simulate real world excersizes on how to perform firewall evasion.

I will also do a video on setting up your own Virtual Lab as has been requested by one of our members!

I am also thinking of creating a forum where we can ask questions, get help, etc. This idea I am not sure about quite yet.

Enough out of me! Back to work! :-)

EDIT:

I think what we are going to do is save the Virtual Firewall for the Advanced Video Tutorials.

I really want to get into showing you guys some examples of hacking machines. Then we will do a Virtual Lab setup, and then I will re-do the lab and setup the virtual firewall, fire it up on a Public IP, and show advanced techniques in terms of firewall evasion, etc.  

New Video Intro

Hey Guys,

I am working on a new Intro to our videos. I find as I am becoming better with Video Editing, that the default intro is kinda boring. I am hoping that tomorrow I can get Win2k3 server installed on the VM server. Also, I need to reinstall win7 because somehow it decided to BSOD with the network config, Not even sure why, but that is MSFT windows for you. All of my UNIX/Linux VM's are chugging right along without a hitch. This is why I love linux!

Anyways it's Sunday and I am going to take the day to relax, it was a rough week! Of course though, my brain never shuts off, so I will be doing some reading on Techie stuff, etc LOL.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I will see you all tomorrow, and hopefully I can respond to any questions/emails in a timely fashion for the rest of today.

Also, again, Thanks for the feedback, and questions/suggestions you guys have provided so far! It really goes a long way for me to see people interacting and even helping each other on the comments! Our youtube channel now has 67 Subscribers so far! Not bad for under a month of the sites and videos being active (started this on May 15th). I have you guys to Thank for the fast growth of this project, so Thank You!

As always keep sharing our pages, videos, blog, etc. Thanks!

Happy Saturday!

Hey Guys,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far! On Monday I am going to move forward with getting the rest of the Virtual Machines created and configured. I Have ran into a few snags, and that is to be expected since I have never used ProxMox to host VM's before. Since I am lacking the proper hardware to make windows play nicely in ProxMox, it's a bit challenging. I will however press on.

In the meantime, keep reading, and learning.

Do you guys have any suggestions for future videos? Let me know!

And as always Thank You for your feedback, and support! Keep sharing the videos, and our YouTube, facebook, and blog pages!

Good Morning Good People!

I am going to be out in the field today. I will do my very best to answer any questions you guys may have from my phone.

I hope you guys enjoyed the latest video on ToR and Proxy chains I did yesterday. Please keep spreading the word, Thumbs up the videos, share them, and our facebook page. Thank You!

Enjoy your day!

New Video: Setting up and Configuring Metasploit + Armitage and More!

New Video! First Look at Metasploit + Armitage!

Guys! It's finally done! The video on Setting up, Configuring and using Metasploit + Armitage, a look at nmap and zenmap. Also, discussion about up and coming videos! 

Update: Video

I put together a video looking at an intro to setting up and configuring Metasploit + Armitage, as it will be needed for our next demonstration video. Also a quick look at nmap and zenmap! It's rendering now (takes about an hour or so) and once it's uploaded to Youtube, I will make a new post about it!

Stay Tuned!

Round 3!

Good Morning,

Okay, so I am going to try this for the 3rd time! I am turning off the ringers on all of the office phones, cell phone, etc.

The video I want to produce today will be about the different phases of Network Security from a Professionals point of view.

I have most of the labs VM machines going, except win2k, as my old install media is messed up and will not work :(. Which is ok, because most of what we will be going over will apply to any machine that is windows based. I am going to fire in a few Linux based machines also, just to give us some more variety.

There is one thing to keep in mind guys; No audit is always successful, and you may not find anything worthwhile. Nothing is 100% guaranteed to succeed!

The video I may wind up producing before we get into this process may very well be setting up Metasploit Framework + Armitage. The only thing holding me back is that I have already went ahead and registered my community version of Metasploit, so I could get the most important updates for vulns. I need to find a way to reverse that so I can show you guys how to do this from scratch!

After that quick video, we will now have most of our more commonly used tools that need configuring setup, so we can dive into the meaty stuff, like actually doing some pentests on the lab! - Finally!

Operation: Get things in order - engaged!

Called away...

Right in the middle of the tutorial, phone rings. Incident response call. Will get back on the track first thing tomorrow,  sorry guys! Such is the life of a netsec professional.

Im really excited about this next video. Looking at the phases of an audit. Presentation plus demo!
