    1. Help me ditch Chrome's password manager!

      I've been trying to reduce my reliance on all things Google, and one of the big ones is password management. I've tried several times to make the jump, but every time I start researching options I'm overwhelmed by the selection. There are a lot of popular options out there, and I really don't have the time/energy to endure a misstep. So without a clear idea of which manager will check all of my boxes, I end up bailing on the process and keep using chrome's built in option.

      So to start, here's what I like about Chrome:

      • Automatically offers to store passwords without extra clicks
      • Autofills automatically where it can, and gives me an easy choice when it can't
      • Works everywhere I need passwords. (basically everywhere I browse the internet since chrome works everywhere)
      • Minimal overhead. This is hard to beat since Chrome just includes it, so I'm fine with a little extra setup if necessary.

      I used to use keepass portable on a thumb drive (I want to say circa ~2009ish), but it became really inconvenient as my usage shifted more to mobile devices.

      I see this as a first step to also reducing my reliance on Chrome so I can start to consider other browsers. Right now I feel locked in to Google's ecosystem, but I know I can break it up if I don't get too bogged down by choice. Much appreciate any help. :)

      Hey everyone! Just wanted to share that Immersive Labs has rolled out their "Haunted Halloween" challenges for 2023. For those unfamiliar, Immersive Labs offers a platform for interactive, gamified learning in the realm of cybersecurity. They've been known to host challenges that test and enhance cyber skills.

      You can sign up for free using code HAUNTEDHOLLOW to try it out hubs.ly/Q026LTZV0.

      Now, I'm not posting this solely out of altruism. I could use some help on the 'Mirrored Mayhem' task.

      Spoiler Alert: Details about the challenge below I've managed to get the RCE. I've crafted a PNG and successfully executed remote code. However, I'm only able to find the 'webapp-token'. I'm at a loss when it comes to the 'user-token' or 'root-token'. The 'whats in the mirror?' file isn't giving me any leads either. I've also got a username/password from it but can't figure out where to use them.

      Would appreciate any pointers or hints from anyone who's tackled this challenge. Thanks in advance!
