Description

This course will introduce you to the concepts behind general penetration testing and then how fuzzing fits into the penetration testing context. We then dive further into fuzzing to look at the different types of fuzzing and introduce you to the Peach fuzzing framework. We then use that framework to understand the structure of several sample peach PIT files that are used to fuzz different environments. Finally we will take what we learned from the samples and look at more advanced fuzzing with Peach.


This course is available only for premium users.


18 CPE CREDITS
This course is self-paced and pre-recorded


You will learn:

You will learn the basics of fuzzing and then we will cover how to use the Peach framework in the Windows operating system environment.You will learn how to use the Peach fuzzing framework and sample Peach PIT files to fuzz various different common elements of interest. We’ll then dig deeper into the sample Peach PIT files to understand how they were constructed and understand how they can be the building blocks for more advanced fuzzing tasks. This will enable you to be comfortable enough build your own Peach PIT files from the samples and then complete more advanced fuzzing tasks.


You will need:

You will need a physical machine, or a VM, running 32 -bit Windows 7 with

  • 1.8 GHz or faster processor. Dual-core or better recommended
  • 2 GB of RAM; 4 GB of RAM recommended (2.5 GB minimum if running on a virtual machine)
  • Hard disk space: at least 500MB of free space, 1GB preferred depending on features installed è Hard disk space: at least 500MB of free space, 1GB preferred depending on features installed. (at least 14 GB space needed if you use the provided VM)
  • Video card that supports a minimum display resolution of 720p (1280 by 720)
  • An installed XML editor (Notepad++ recommended, free from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/)
  • An installed VMware Workstation Player (free from VM)

NOTE: The VM will be provided to you. We'll use Peach 3.0 Community Edition


You should know before you join:

You will need a basic knowledge of python, and xml. An understanding of the C programming language and C types will also be helpful as they are very similar to the types used by Peach.

    • Penetration Testing
  • The Components of Penetration testing (Pentesting)
  • Categories of Pentesting
  • Pentesting Options
  • The Test Plan
  • The Hack-A-Thon
  • Type of Pentesting
  • Pentesting Tools
  • Fuzzing Defined
    • What is Fuzzing?
    • Why do it?
  • Where Fuzzing Fits In Penetration Testing?
  • Fuzzing Terms
  • Fuzzing Advantages
  • Vulnerabilities Fuzzing Can Expose
  • Other Terms for testing Similar to Fuzzing

Module 4: Advanced Fuzzing Options with Peach

Module 4 description: In this module we will take what we learned in the previous module and dive deeper into additional Peach options. We will then create additional PIT files with logging and monitors to test additional advanced syntax and component functions of Peach.

Module 4 covered topics:

  • Agents
  • Monitors
  • Mutators
  • How to Capture an Easy Chat Server http registration with Wireshark
  • Create a PIT file to fuzz the Easy Chat Server http registration
  • How to open a file and have Peach parse it in the Data Model
  • Diving Deeper into Strings, Blocks and Choices
  • Using the Mutable flag to selectively mutate data at different levels
