Join us on an epic journey through the enchanting realms of Skyrim and the shadowy world of hacking in our first-ever technical blog turned talk. As passionate Skyrim players and modders, we stumbled upon an unexpected revelation – malicious Skyrim mods with the potential for real-world impact.
In this presentation, we explore the intersection of gaming and cybersecurity by demonstrating a malicious Skyrim mod. This mod, triggered by the seemingly innocuous in-game item "Meridia’s Beacon," unleashes a reverse shell to an attacker host. Our journey unfolds as we probe into the complexities of crafting this mod, touching on research, development, and testing.
Discover the unexpected dangers lurking in the world of gaming and gain insights into the fascinating realm of hacking studies. Prepare for a “Fus Ro Dah” of a time as we showcase not only the capture of a netcat reverse shell but the transformation of our payload into a full-blown Command and Control (C2) beacon.
