Research / Cybersecurity: Find Security Bugs in the Sample Platform
Introduction
Hackers are everywhere. They aren't afraid to hack anything and use that in their advantage. From encrypting files to causing destruction, we have to be prepared every move.
Task
Your goal is to try and find a security hole or weakness in the Sample Platform! You can use tools like Nmap, various scanners or just dig through the source code to find it :D
The only thing we request is that if you find one, you don't abuse it, but report it to us. This includes a way on how to reproduce the issue and what potential effects an attack could cause.
Some example issues you might try to find (not limited to them of course!) are:
- SQL Injections
- XSS
- RCE - Remote Code Execution.
Even if you don't find anything after a couple of hours, you can just draft a small report listing what tools, methods, ... you have used and what you thought you could achieve with those. You should then also reflect on why your attempts have failed (or not) so that it's not only interesting for us ;)
