💣 Fun Facts: Hacking & Red Team

• 🐚 The first computer worm, Morris Worm (1988), was written by a college student and accidentally took down ~10% of the internet.
• 💡 The term "zero-day" comes from software that has zero days between the discovery of the vulnerability and its exploitation.
• 🦇 Red Teaming is inspired by military tactics where a “Red” unit simulates attacks to test “Blue” defense readiness.
• 🐉 Tools like Metasploit, Sliver, and Empire give attackers post-exploitation powers like persistence and privilege escalation.
• 📟 The legendary hacker Kevin Mitnick once hacked into systems using social engineering and a payphone.
• 🔓 Hackers once took control of a Jeep remotely by exploiting the car's entertainment system via the cellular network.
• 🕷️ A “living off the land” attack uses tools already on the system — like PowerShell or bash — to stay under the radar.
• 🎯 Social engineering is still one of the most effective attack vectors — because humans are the real weakest link.
• 📡 Radio waves can be used to sniff keyboard strokes from over 100 meters away using special antennas!
• 🛠️ C2 (Command and Control) frameworks like Sliver and Mythic can be customized in Go, Python, and even JavaScript.
