DVL Strychnine is finally final. The last pre-compilation is running at the moment, then the final compilation of the remaster will follow. Some nasty bugs fixed such as permissions problems of the pre-installed MySQL database containing first vulnerabe web examples. Click on the link below to see the current changelog. This shows you which additions have been added to the “classic” BT 2.0 release to build the base of the new era of Damn Vulnerable Linux. Some more minor unimportant features are left to install, however I believe it is time to go with the release to concentrate finally on the production of the most important: training lessons!

DVL Strychnine will be available via BitTorrent this weekend (never published before using BitTorrent! let's see if I run into problems!) - Later I place it on the mirrors. File size at the moment 822 MB, sorry for that but let the community decide what to kill!

A short intro video will follow soon, maybe I can make it this weekend.

DVL Strychnine + E605 is final! I just remastered the ISO and we land at 1050 MB size which fits perfectly on a 2 GB USB stick (and gives us more free space to add additional stuff). I will upload the ISO today and inform the mirrors. Finally after all this installation part I can play myself with it :)

Added more tools. Now Reverse Code Engineering tools is 99%, added Truecrypt, Eclipse IDE for Java and C++, added Mono for .NET vulnerability. Rearranged the menu, minor bug fixes ( :grin: ). We close tool addition with this and focus on bug fix and training material only from now on.

DVL 1.4 final is ready to go and is uploaded at the moment. We hit the 1.6 GB size, including all necessary to train software development, IT security and Reverse Code Engineering. During the next time the mirrors will be informed. After this we post the links. As well we do a short intro video to show all features and on how to use DVL.

Some of you may have noticed this new pWnOS forum section. I created pWnOS as a virtual machine and Grendel was nice enough to let me post about it here. Here's a bit of information on pWnOS.

It's a linux virtual machine intentionally configured with exploitable services to provide you with a path to r00t. :) Currently, the virtual machine NIC is configured in bridged networking, so it will obtain a normal IP address on the network you are connected to. You can easily change this to NAT or Host Only if you desire. A quick ping sweep will show the IP address of the virtual machine.

Sorry...no scenario/storyline with this one. I wasn't really planning to release it like this, so maybe for version 2.0 I'll be more creative. :) I'm anxious to get feedback so let me know how it goes or if you have questions. Thanks and good luck!

Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) Infectious Disease (1.5):

• Fixed many bugs (e.g. wrong postgres path), added several tools

Holynix is a Linux distribution that was deliberately built to have security holes for the purposes of penetration testing. If you're having trouble, or there are any problems, it can be discussed here.

It's been a while since the last Kioptrix VM challenge. Life keeps getting the way of these things you know.

After the seeing the number of downloads for the last two, and the numerous videos showing ways to beat these challenges. I felt that 1.2 (or just level 3) needed to come out. Thank you to all that downloaded and played the first two. And thank you to the ones that took the time to produce video solutions of them. Greatly appreciated.

As with the other two, this challenge is geared towards the beginner. It is however different. Added a few more steps and a new skill set is required. Still being the realm of the beginner I must add. The same as the others, there’s more then one way to “pwn” this one. There’s easy and not so easy. Remember… the sense of “easy” or “difficult” is always relative to ones own skill level. I never said these things were exceptionally hard or difficult, but we all need to start somewhere. And let me tell you, making these vulnerable VMs is not as easy as it looks…

Important thing with this challenge. Once you find the IP (DHCP Client) edit your hosts file and point it to kioptrix3.com

Under Windows, you would edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to look something like this:

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#   127.0.0.1 localhost
#   ::1 localhost127.0.0.1 static3.cdn.ubi.com
192.168.1.102 kioptrix3.com

Under Linux that would be /etc/hosts

There’s a web application involved, so to have everything nice and properly displayed you really need to this.

Hope you enjoy Kioptrix VM Level 1.2 challenge.

About

Nebula takes the participant through a variety of common (and less than common) weaknesses and vulnerabilities in Linux. It takes a look at + SUID files + Permissions + Race conditions + Shell meta-variables + $PATH weaknesses + Scripting language weaknesses + Binary compilation failures At the end of Nebula, the user will have a reasonably thorough understanding of local attacks against Linux systems, and a cursory look at some of the remote attacks that are possible.

Levels

Have a look at the levels available on the side bar, and log into the virtual machine as the username "levelXX" with a password of "levelXX" (without quotes), where XX is the level number.

Some levels can be done purely remotely.

Getting root

In case you need root access to change stuff (such as key mappings, etc), you can do the following:

Log in as the "nebula" user account with the password "nebula" (both without quotes), followed by "sudo -s" with the password "nebula". You'll then have root privileges in order to change whatever needs to be changed.
