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.

Where to get the current Hackerdemia PenTest Tool Tutorial disk: http://heorot.net/instruction/tutorials/iso/hackerdemia-1.1.0.iso

The MD5 Hash Values of Each Disk: 09e960360714df7879679dee72ce5733 ==> hackerdemia-1.1.0.iso

How to start the disk: Boot the LiveCD on a system within your pentest lab, which needs to be configured to be in the 192.168.xxx.xxx range. Connect to http://192.168.1.123 using a web browser (preferably in BackTrack or your favorite pentest platform)

You will be presented with a web page, which is your tutorials. All hands-on examples were created with the Hackerdemia disk as the target, so your results should exactly match those found in the tutorials.

Where to get the BackTrack disk: http://remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html

Network configuration: The LiveCD configures itself to an IP address of 192.168.1.123 by default. If you want to change it, simply log in as: username: root password: toor

...and change the ifconfig information (If you don't know what I'm talking about, go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ifconfig)

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!

SCENARIO

The scenario for this LiveCD is that you have been given an assignment to test a company's 192.168.2.xxx network to identify any vulnerabilities or exploits. The systems within this network are not critical systems and recent backups have been created and tested, so any damage you might cause is of little concern. The organization has had multiple system administrators manage the network over the last couple of years, and they are unsure of the competency previous (or current) staff2

CONFIGURATIO

PenTest Lab Disk 2.100: This LiveCD is configured with an IP address of 192.168.2.100 - no additional configuration is necessary.

Pentest Machine:

Your second system will use the BackTrack (v.2) LiveCD as provided by remote-exploit.org. A copy of the LiveCD can be downloaded from remote-exploit.org. This disk is configured to obtain an IP address through DHCP - thus no additional configuration is required. All tools necessary to exploit Disk 2.100 can be found on the BackTrack Disk. No additional installations will be necessary.

Router Configuration:

The PenTest Lab system and the PenTest machine must connect to a router that has been configured with the following values:

• DHCP Server: active
• Pool Starting Addr.: 192.168.2.2

LAN TCP/IP: + IP Address: 192.168.2.1 + IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

-- S1.110

SCENARIO

The scenario for this LiveCD is that a CEO of a small company has tasked you to do more extensive penetration testing of systems within his company. The network administrator has reconfigured systems within his network to meet tougher security requirements and expects you to fail any further penetration attempts. This system is an ftp server used by the network administrator team to create / reload systems on the company intranet. No classified or sensitive information should reside on this server. Through discussion with the administrator, you found out that this server had been used in the past to maintain customer information, but has been sanitized (as opposed to re-built).

Prove to the network administrator that proper system configuration is not the only thing critical in securing a server.

CONFIGURATION

PenTest Lab Disk 1.110:

This LiveCD is configured with an IP address of 192.168.1.110 - no additional configuration is necessary.

Pentest Machine:

Your second system will use the BackTrack (v.2) LiveCD as provided by remote-exploit.org. A copy of the LiveCD can be downloaded from remote-exploit.org. This disk is configured to obtain an IP address through DHCP - thus no additional configuration is required. All tools necessary to exploit Disk 1.110 can be found on the BackTrack Disk. No additional installations will be necessary.

Router Configuration:

The PenTest Lab system and the PenTest machine must connect to a router that has been configured with the following values: + DHCP Server: active + Pool Starting Addr.: 192.168.1.2

LAN TCP/IP: + IP Address: 192.168.1.1 + IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

-- S1.100

SCENARIO

The scenario for this LiveCD is that a CEO of a small company has been pressured by the Board of Directors to have a penetration test done within the company. The CEO, believing his company is secure, feels this is a huge waste of money, especially since he already has a company scan their network for vulnerabilities (using nessus). To make the BoD happy, he decides to hire you for a 5-day job; and because he really doesn't believe the company is insecure, he has contracted you to look at only one server - a old system that only has a web-based list of the company's contact information.

The CEO expects you to prove that the admins of the box follow all proper accepted security practices, and that you will not be able to obtain access to the box. Prove to him that a full penetration test of their entire corporation would be the best way to ensure his company is actually following best security practices.
