Hi guys! It has been more than a month since I managed to get into Kioptrix Level 1. June was a bit hectic but here's what I found out with Kioptrix Level 2. The following are the things that you'll need: Kioptrix Level 2 (A vulnerable operating system) Kali Virtual Box / VMWare Spoiler alert!

  During college days, my group mates and I bought this IP camera for a final project before finishing our program. It was a pretty cheap deal from a Chinese site so we didn't hesitate on buying it. After learning how to install and use it, we successfully integrated it in our system, passed the project, got our diplomas, and had this IP camera thrown back to its box. Over the past few days, I decided to take it out again and did some installing at home but here came the problem, I forgot what the password was!

This led me to check out SMAC's website to test a few things and the results were as follow: After visiting a link, I got surprised when presented with information with
