eLearnSecurity Resources [Syllabus,Report Templates, Useful links]

eLearnSecurity (ELS) offers a lot of great certifications in the field of Cybersecurity. Last year, ELS was acquired by INE. In my opinion, after the acquisition, there are a lot of gaps. First of all, many the links in the training materials are broken. Also information regarding the certification or the training materials are limited on the internet. Though INE has a community forum, getting a clear cut answer or solution is based on your luck. I haven't seen a lot of activity on their community page. It seems like many of the students are not even aware of this new community website. When i was preparing for some of the ELS courses, i was having a hard time to get information on the certification exam, even for the exam syllabus. I have also noticed that many like me, posting queries on syllabus, report templates etc on other websites like reddit, twitter etc.

So, here are some of the useful links related to cybersecurity and its certifications, training and Syllabus.

PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-1675) PoC exploit Walkthrough

I am not an exploit developer but was interested to see how this vulnerability can be exploited. So i tried to replicate the infamous PrintNightmare vulnerability using the following PoCs ( https://github.com/cube0x0/CVE-2021-1675 ) and ( https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/15385 ) However i had trouble with the new metasploit module (auxiliary/admin/dcerpc/cve_2021_1675_printnightmare) and i couldn't able to exploit the machine successfully. So i tried the second PoC from cube0x0. This one has done the magic. I just followed the guidelines with couple of tweaks. First of all, i installed the impacket (cube0x0 version) which will install the required modules and files. After that i set up a samba share with an anonymous login. This is required for hosting the dll file. I edited the smb.conf with the following settings.
