First review It's overwhelming to do it alone, but it's easy to listen and practice, and I think I learned faster than I thought. I personally liked that you kindly answered my questions. I'm looking forward to the next episode. Thank you.

Hacking as a Hobby #1 (OverTheWire - Bandit)

▶ Have you ever felt an inexplicable attraction while watching someone type mysterious English characters on a black screen?

▶ Have you ever thought it was amazing to see unknown English characters constantly passing by on the screen, even though they were being typed nonchalantly as if it were no big deal?

▶ But at times, haven't you ever felt a vague desire that you'd like to try it yourself at least once, but didn't know where or how to start?

If so, you can find help here.


Here, we will practice 33 privilege escalations targeting Linux systems. In addition to utilizing the functions and features of various Linux commands favored by hackers, we will cover topics related to encoding/decoding/encryption and even write a small program using Python, the trendiest language in the hacker world.

Following along will provide an opportunity to overcome the psychological barriers you once thought were unknown territory. And now, others will look at you with admiration. Once you actually try it, you'll realize it's not that big of a deal, and you'll be able to type in commands nonchalantly.

However, as you go along, you may not understand everything. In such cases, please feel free to ask questions. Even if I don't know the answer, I will learn it and let you know. When asking questions, I would appreciate it if you could use the Naver Cafe listed in the reference section below.


[Q1] Can I really start even if I don't know anything at all?
[Ans] You only need to pre-learn about three basic Linux commands (such as ls, cd, cat, etc.) on the internet. However, a more intuitive way is to just dive right in. Most things you don't understand while taking the course can be resolved by searching for them as they come up. For example, if you don't know the command "cd", you can search "Linux cd" on Google. If you still don't understand, please feel free to ask. I will let you know.

[Q2] What abilities will I acquire upon completing the course?
[Ans] When challenging yourself at a higher level, you will have cultivated the foundational concepts and skills from a practical application perspective. You will also begin to develop an eye for viewing systems from a hacker's perspective. You can think of this as a warm-up for subsequent courses.


Notes

  • We would appreciate it if you could direct your questions to the Naver Cafe "Hacking as a Hobby (bit.ly/cafecode848) (Go to Link)."
  • The textbook is a separate paid content (paperback/e-book) and can be purchased if necessary (refer to cafe announcement (shortcut)).
  • The Naver Cafe "Hacking as a Hobby" also regularly provides supplementary learning content.
  • Since Bandit is provided as an online service, access may occasionally be delayed or restricted depending on the server environment (maintenance, etc.).
