Are There Pentesters In Nigeria? by Whytelyon(m): 8:04am On Nov 28, 2016

I have always wanted to ask this, hence I don't know where to start from but anyways let me ask it anyhow and see who's gonna contribute and pls I don't need children commenting on my thread. Very experienced fellows who can add sense to the IT industry, that's what matters now.

Are there Pen testers in Nigeria?

I've always been looking forward to having a whatsapp group chat where hackers (white hat) and pen testers would meet, share ideas like you know how hackforums.net and other security forums work. As we know the only way to protect your computer is to hack it. Only I laugh when I see some skids doing copy and paste work and some who don't even know anything, just trying to feel among would want to comment as well.

This has to stop. We need to start giving and sharing ideas to Nigerians as we are ranked number 16 most vulnerable country to cyber attacks. Guys I'd like us to come together and share ideas, what you know I know somethings, and I'd like to meet someone who knows as well. So pls if you are capable, let's see you.

I don't know if this is allowed here. I'd paste several website with vulns (vulnerabilities) xss, Lfi, rfi etc.

Is it allowed here.

whytelon, hello.
i would love to learn how to do pentest also check for website vulnerability. not neccessarily to hack them but just for the knowledge
where can i start from. i already have some basic computer knowledge

You should use a vulnerability scanner. Aucentix or nessus or you can even do it manually. And try to exploit it from there.

will the automatic scammer make of lazy? Also how do i know what i.m looking for seems like you are self taught to. Do those scanners work with microsoft or kali ?

Of course yes,i am self taught. It's best way to learn. Most teachers won't teach you, cos they absolutely don't know jack grin

I used vega once, doesn't give me what I need. Most times vulnerability scanners mess up, hence what I do I extract this link and see if I can source for url where I can inject a payload.

There are scanners for all OS depending on the use. Kali has its own,but due to recent upgrades, it may seem most of them are out dated.

People use kali 1, people use kali rolling depends on what you use. The kali 1 folks still use don't have updated exploits if I'm lying prove me wrong.

That's what I mean by updated exploit whatever. Hope you understand now.

Re: Are There Pentesters In Nigeria? by kosasly(m): 4:55pm On Dec 01, 2016
At last I've gotten to Zion. . . I'm 100% interested, I have Kali Linux installed in my system, how do I start (I'm new to pen testing and simply wants to learn). Thanks

You have Kali Rolling?

Yeah! A friend of mine said I should exit windows and install Kali Linux 2.0 last year and I did, but he is not in Nigeria anymore. Now the system is just useless with the OS.

You should have installed it on guest OS (Virtualbox) but it's a good idea as most times with kali (if you know what you doing) you can stay stealth.

And besides some exploits are not basically done using pentest tools. Most times manual method or social engineering is way to go.

I'll prefer we focus more on hacking here. I feel pentesting is just half of it and no company deserves free pentesting.

So let the hackers come out

These posts are one of the useless posts I remember I said I never wanted to see. I am yet to see what you "grownup" can offer when the only thing you know on pen testing and programming is "hello world "

Show us what you know and stop things like this very irritating over sabi you do on here. I haven't even seen you contribute any meaningful post or anything to programming section, just one nonsense after the other, write "kids" and what not.

Each time I come here I have something to show, what can you show,show and stop proving you know it all. Mxm

That happens to be type of pen testing you wonna learn. I am currently working on a project that has to deal with a more difficult form of pen testing.

As you understand the world gets more vulnerable by the day, the more the security, the more the hackers tend to create loopholes to savour themselves and gain access.

That aside, I'm working on a kernel level rootkit (bootkit) something like carberp. The only difference is I'm going to be using SSDT (system service descriptor table) hooking method and try to also use DKOM (direct kernel object manipulation) to conceal the dll. Just to demonstrate how win32 API can be done from kernel level and not user level. This may seem hard for you,but with understanding of C, it should be piece of cake. It's just driver (kernel level driver) and loader technique etc, method used by anti viruses and big companies, that's all.

Hacking is a general term people who they feel are addicted to PC's use. "I am a hacker" when they cannot even scratch emails from Google grin

To be a very good hacker,you must be a good programmer as well. You have idea of Reverse engineering using tools like ollydbg and .net reflector?

a really nice thread, i have been looking for pen testers in Nigeria. gave up the search a while ago.. had some questions then.. can we connect @whytelyon.


using fedora as os with kali 2(latest update) on virtual box.

kali should always be on a virtual machine. its not all to stable..

Exactly my point. I don't see a difference with what I said earlier. Only most of them use tools with big names to feel among, that's the worry with Nigerians and the programmers we have here.

Lol. yeah. i use kali cos most tools are already installed.. i had to give up the whole pen testing dream, due to lack of fellow pen testers..glad to meet you.

how can we communicate.

Web App Hacking.....

Are you a Nigerian ? Cause I've never seen a Nigerian Reverse Engineer. Firmware hacking is what I really wanna go into, I wonder if you ever considered that
