يتذكر فهداً رآه على شاشة التلفزيون،
فهدا قويا يحاصر ظبيا رضيعا
وحين دنا منه شم الحليب
فلم يفترسه

كأن الحليب يروض وحش الفلاة

62 exploits from various packs (mostly Open Source pack)
LinuQ pack
Designed to compromise linux servers using vulnerable PHPMyAdmin. Comes with DDoS bot but any kind of code can be loaded for Linux botnet creation.
LinuQ pack is PhpMyAdmin exploit pack with 4 PMA exploits based on a previous Russian version of the Romanian PMA scanner ZmEu. it is not considered to be original, unique, new, or anything special. All exploits are public and known well.


It is designed to be installed on an IRC server (like UnrealIRCD). IP ranges already listed in bios.txt can be scanned, vulnerable IPs and specific PMA vulnerabilities will be listed in vuln.txt, then the corresponding exploits can be launched against the vulnerable server. It is more like a bot using PMA vulnerabilities than exploit pack.
It is using

    SolarMarker Malware Uses Novel Techniques To Persist On Hacked Systems

     In a sign that threat actors continuously shift tactics and update their defensive measures, the operators of the SolarMarker information stealer and backdoor have been found leveraging stealthy Windows Registry tricks to establish long-term persistence on compromised systems.

    Cybersecurity firm Sophos, which spotted the new behavior, said that the remote access implants are still being detected on targeted networks despite the campaign witnessing a decline in November 2021.

    Boasting of information harvesting and backdoor capabilities, the .NET-based malware has been linked to at least three different attack waves in 2021. The first set, reported in April, took advantage of search engine poisoning techniques to trick business professionals into visiting sketchy Google sites that installed SolarMarker on the victim's machines.

    Then in August, the malware was observed targeting healthcare and education sectors with the goal of gathering credentials and sensitive information. Subsequent infection chains documented by Morphisec in September 2021 highlighted the use of MSI installers to ensure the delivery of the malware.

    The SolarMarker modus operandi commences with redirecting victims to decoy sites that drop the MSI installer payloads, which, while executing seemingly legitimate install programs such as Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Wondershare PDFelement, or Nitro Pro, also launches a PowerShell script to deploy the malware.


    "These SEO efforts, which leveraged a combination of Google Groups discussions and deceptive web pages and PDF documents hosted on compromised (usually WordPress) websites, were so effective that the SolarMarker lures were usually at or near the top of search results for phrases the SolarMarker actors targeted," Sophos researchers Gabor Szappanos and Sean Gallagher said in a report shared with The Hacker News.

    The PowerShell installer is designed to alter the Windows Registry and drop a .LNK file into Windows' startup directory to establish persistence. This unauthorized change results in the malware getting loaded from an encrypted payload hidden amongst what the researchers called a "smokescreen" of 100 to 300 junk files created specifically for this purpose.

    "Normally, one would expect this linked file to be an executable or script file," the researchers detailed. "But for these SolarMarker campaigns the linked file is one of the random junk files, and cannot be executed itself."

    What's more, the unique and random file extension used for the linked junk file is utilized to create a custom file type key, which is ultimately employed to execute the malware during system startup by running a PowerShell command from the Registry.

    The backdoor, for its part, is ever-evolving, featuring an array of functionalities that allow it to steal information from web browsers, facilitate cryptocurrency theft, and execute arbitrary commands and binaries, the results of which are exfiltrated back to a remote server.

    "Another important takeaway […], which was also seen in the ProxyLogon vulnerabilities targeting Exchange servers, is that defenders should always check whether attackers have left something behind in the network that they can return to later," Gallagher said. "For ProxyLogon this was web shells, for SolarMarker this is a stealthy and persistent backdoor that according to Sophos telematics is still active months after the campaign ended."

    How To Hack Facebook By Social Engineering Attack

    This video is specially for educational purpose only. I'm not responsible for your any illegal activity. Thanks!

     Social Engineering Attack

    Phishing is the fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and money), often for malicious reasons, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. The purpose of this video tutorial is to show you How hackers hacked any thing by Social Engineering Attack.

    Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords. The information is then used to access important accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss.

    Kali Linux has many tools for doing social engineering attacks. Setoolkit is the most powerful tool in Kali Linux to do a social engineering attacks over the same and different networks. 

    Social Engineering over the same network requires the local IP address of your system just like this one 192.168.1.2. Now how you can get your local IP address from your system. To find local IP address just open up your terminal in Linux distribution:

    Type: ifconfig wlan0 (if you are using WiFi)
    Type: ifconfig eth0 (if you are using eth0)
    Type: ifconfig (It display all information about your network)

    Now you've another thing to do is that you just have to clone a web page you wanna clone like Facebook, g-mail, twitter etc. Similarly, If you wanna clone a facebook page so for this you just have to type www.facebook.com over your system's terminal for cloning a login page for Social Engineering attack.Still If you don't know how to do that so don't be worry, I did all the process practically in the below just go down and watch it!
