    • @amateurprogrammer25
      @amateurprogrammer25 10 місяців тому

      PKZIP (.zip files) will polyglot with almost anything since they put all their header information at the end of the file rather than at the beginning. in fact pretty much all self extracting zip files that exist are extremely-easy-to-create .exe/.zip polyglots. you take a generic exe zip extractor that tries to open itself as a zip file and just concatenate whatever zip file you want.

    I dont see the need for having the .lnk data in the start of the .lnk file, if we are just going to change the target anyway, why not just write a hta file, change the file extention to .lnk and do the same. Wondering if I'm missing something here

    • @mervstar
      @mervstar 10 місяців тому +2

      To keep things at stealthy as possible and still be functional. A .lnk file will fly under the radar for most users, especially if it looks like it's for an application you have installed. A random .hta file showing up anywhere would raise a few alarm bells or at least a furrowed eyebrow or two.
      With a .lnk file, you can set the properties of it like icon etc. to obscure its true function even further. A .hta file that's been renamed to a .lnk file will just give an error when someone tries to run it because windows will treat it like a .lnk file.

    • @iWhacko
      @iWhacko 10 місяців тому +2

      if it's renamed to .lnk windows will treat it as a link and give you an error because it doesn't know how to interpret the data as a .lnk file. you specify how to run it using mshta.

      That price is for access to their Cyber Range. You can buy the 16 hour SOC Core course for $25, but you don't get access to their infrastructure nor their labs running on there. Honestly, $295 for access to an industry leader Cyber Range is worth it.
