Hi, during this section and for the upcoming section, we're going to focus on hacking the Windows
machines and also privilege escalation in windows.
So maybe information gathering or hacking into steps are not very different.
When we compared the links between those servers, however, privilege escalation is surely is because
it has a completely different operating system.
And we have to understand the user group structures and how we can move through them and how we can
try to escalate our privilege.
So it's a completely new skill for you if you haven't worked with Windows before, obviously.
And if you have.
So please make sure you just scan the whole section so that you make sure that you don't skip any technique
related to privilege, escalation or hacking into.
So we're going to use hack the bugs in this section.
So and it's going to be a little bit challenging for you because we have seen one help.
We have seen try hack me now we are moving on to hack the bugs.
And the reason why we're doing that, because Windows is not for free.
OK, so you can find Linux machines and Linux virtual machines, vulnerable machines everywhere on the
Internet because it's open source.
But when it comes to Windows, it's very limited and there is some licensing issues.
There can be some copyright issues and hack the box deals with every one of them for us.
OK.
So in order to solve this with a bit of a legal boundary, at least we have to go into the hack, the
bugs, and we will do what we got to do over here again.
We will focus on windows.
And even if you're a Windows user on your machine, believe me, this is going to be different from
your daily usage.
OK, so don't skip this section or the upcoming section.
I just don't focus on Linux because there are Windows theories out there that will need your attention
if you become a cybersecurity professional.
And the other thing that I should mention over here is that tech, the box is not free as well.
Of course, it comes with a free version.
It comes with a free account.
You can create a free account and you can just search for some boxes or some kind of vulnerable machines
to solve.
But they are not actually very popular, are there?
They are very limited.
I believe you get to reach 20 machines, only hack the bucks if you have a free account.
And for the other ones, let me just change my keyboard over here.
For the other ones, you're going to have to sign up for a VIP membership.
So in order to just so the machines that we're going to do over here, you're going to need a VIP membership.
So it's something like 10 euros per month.
Of course, you can just give this for one month as well.
But if you don't want to buy anything additional rather than discourse, you're good to go.
You can just watch this section, take notes and see how it's done.
OK, but if you want to practice, then you should sign up for the VIP package over here.
So, again, if you don't want to just watch the rest of the lectures and try to take notes, but just
don't skip it, OK?
These are important.
And the other thing over here, if you click on Join, you will be presented with a challenge.
OK, the other challenging part of the Xbox is that I cannot give the solution to this challenge in
this course.
OK, so you're going going to have to hack your way in in order to sign up to the hack the bucks.
So this is how it works.
So you're going to have to find a code and you're going to have to pass the code in here in order to
get an invitation or something like that from the hack, the bucks.
I did it.
It's easy.
OK, you're going to have to just dig a little deeper.
And if you cannot do it, you can just always search on the Internet to find the solution out.
But the reason why I'm not showing you this is that it clearly indicates showing this solution in this
kind of video is forbidden by the act, the bugs in their user agreement.
OK, so if I show you if you get the invitation back.
Maybe they can cancel my account and it's not very important, but maybe they can cancel your account,
so it may create some problems.
So what I would suggest is that just don't look anywhere and try to hack this, OK?
Try to get your invitation code from hack the bucks if you get stuck.
Of course.
Just open the Google or open YouTube.
Just search for the box invitation challenge or something like that and you will find the solution,
OK?
There are people showing this online, but I cannot for the reasons that I have just told you, because
many of the time thousands of people enrolled in these courses and they just follow this and they become
actually very easy to detect by the hack the bucks.
So try this on your own.
It will be a good challenge for you as well.
So, as I said before, watching this section is a little bit challenging.
You're going to have to hack your way in.
You're going to have to purchase a membership from the hack, the box that you maybe don't want to do.
All of these things just don't do this.
And if you don't want to do it, just don't do it and just take notes, but don't skip the section as
well.
And another reason why I'm just insisting on the Starbucks over here is that Hektor Bucks is very popular,
like try hack me.
So maybe it would be good for you to create an account and have a ranking over here for your cybersecurity
career as well.
So a lot of students choose to pay for the VIP membership.
So, you know, to just sold the machines and put a portfolio together to show the employers when they
go to an interview and they can say, yeah, I solved that and a lot of boxes on Xbox.
Here you go.
You can see my profile over here.
Once you get your invitation back, you can just come here and log in from this page, OK?
And right now, I'm just going to stop here and give you time in order to solve this challenge and create
your account and see you in the next lecture.
