Hack Stories: Hacking Hackers EP:1

Intro

Let’s rewind to EP:1, where I previously mentioned that embarking on your journey to land your first job as a Cybersecurity Consultant involves interacting with a diverse array of people and companies. In today’s narrative, Opinium and Tesla take center stage, revealing how I stumbled upon four Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities (two with root privileges), The last two discovered about 15 days ago, a zero-day exploit in one of their custom software, BFLA, Vertical PE, as well as Insecure Direct Object References (IDORs), and more.

Obviously Fake Names:

• Opinium: Just a staffing Agency
• Tesla: One of the two most important electricity companies in a Western European country, even though there are seven in total.
