So I’ve been gone I know I don’t really have a “following” here but as I give this website out to people who are interested, who are looking to hire me, and really just anyone because I love bardificer as a pun and identity, I thought I’d give some sort of update. Yeah it’s been almost a year since I’ve posted on here but I’ve been doing stuff I promise.

I’ve been working on the PMAT course from TCM Security for the last little bit and it’s been really interesting to learn more about these tools and actually participate in some hands-on malware analysis. For this specific writeup, everything has been done hands-on. The hash was submitted to VirusTotal post-analysis to verify (and to satisfy the questions that were laid out in the challenge). Other than that, everything was hands-on.

DISCLAIMER The Inject box is still live on HTB. This writeup is meant to help those who are having difficulties with the box. If you have not attempted the box yet, I recommend that you try and complete the box entirely without the assistance of this writeup. Also, I messed up while taking screenshots and trying to give them borders so the screenshots are destroyed now and I’m too lazy to get them again (at least for now).

Hack the Port – Gulfport Summer 2022 This competition was a totally new one to the University at Buffalo team: Hack the Port. A nautical-themed “red vs blue” competition about defending critical infrastructure from attacks. This competition was a fun time (despite my computer breaking during the competition). We acted as a blue team during the competition, defending a port’s infrastructure from malicious attackers. I know the rest of the team really enjoyed the competition, and want to look into more competitions hosted by Dreamport.
