So since there are tons of tools out there, all for different situations, it can be hard to know what to use. I did find this and found it to be helpful in that it also demonstrates a process: https://sparta.secforce.com/ The nice thing about it is that it no only automates things so you can be super lazy, but it also shows you a process of information gathering and different tools to use in common situations. It's a nice thing to check out and a good starting point I think in a hack.
@NetWarKing I started a thread here about the issue of not being able to edit old posts. We'll see if that goes through. I guess for now, we'll just have to deal with it as is.
@adhishri18 How do you start with what? Are you looking for help on how to get into HTB? Or just general hacking?
On point 4, I just attempted to edit an older post of mine. Once you post something, there is an edit link, I modified that link to match an older post and received this error: So it would seem that this is a limitation put in place by the web app.
Since there's no existing place for things of this nature, I'll just start a new topic here, sorry if it's not the best place for it. I have a few requests pertaining to the function and features of these forums. Please note, I bring up these issues because I think that this forum could be a really good place for the hacker community here and I'd love to see it grow. I noticed that the @ihackcharities Twitter account has around 8k followers, and yet there is very little activity here. It may not be a fair comparison since social media is a lot more popular than forums, though Reddit seems to be doing okay. Anyway, things that I would like to see fixed if broken and enabled if able: When logging in to the forum, though the web URL is HTTPS, the URL to which the login form posts is HTTP, causing the browser to report an insecure connection. Also this is a security issue since the username and password are being posted to that URL in the clear. The ability to modify ones profile. Right now, and it might just be me, I am unable to change my profile, setup a picture, or things like that. Attach files. This goes with 2. I can't attach files to posts since it requires you upload them to your profile, which cannot be done either, I get a permissions error. The ability to edit a post after someone has replied to it. I'd like to go back and edit my previous posts, but I don't see an option to do so. I don't know if that is also a permission issue, or if it is a limitation of this web app. Those are my thought right now. I'd love to hear if others agree/disagree, or if other people have other thoughts on the matter. Thank you.
Hello all. My name is Greg. I just recently found this site and I'm very excited to start to get involved with its community.
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but it is website related. This site, the sign in and sign up forms, are all under http instead of https by default. Is there a way you could enforce connections to upgrade to a secure connection, at least for the pages with form submission? I see that you do have an SSL cert, so I assume that's not an issue. I'm just concerned for anyone who might not be aware of this matter creating it logging in to an account in an environment that could be insecure.
