Pentesting

A spoiler-free reflection on clearing Cybernetics, a large multi-domain enterprise AD lab. Not the exploit chains, but the two things that actually got me to the end: the persistence to keep returning to the same problem for the better part of a year, and the habit of building and adapting my own operator tooling to fit the lab instead of forcing the lab to fit off-the-shelf tools.

After nearly a year of pentesting Salesforce orgs, I built aura-privesc: an open-source scanner that automates Aura/Lightning privilege escalation discovery. It finds exposed objects, tests CRUD permissions, probes Apex controllers, and generates interactive HTML reports with ready-to-use proof-of-concept commands.
