Using Google Colaboratory For Bug Hunting

Let’s Use Google Features!

Google Colaboratory is designed to make the data science and machine learning Projects Easy as Everyone cannot afford costly GPUs For Training Of Machine Learning Models. Most Important Benefit it gives, is root access on the docker container which is Jupyter Notebook.

Let’s Now Come to Point, I tried using os.system() commands on it. I was able to do everything! Then I came to know that we can use any bash command in the jupyter notebook just by adding a ! sign in front of it.

I have made a script we will be regularly updated, will provide a VPS Instance with all loaded bug hunting tools. It will Provide two choices:

  1. If You Use GPU Instance You will get 32 GB RAM and 70 GB Storage with combination of Nvidia Tesla K8 GPU (Hashcat will be Extremely Fast).
  2. A Normal Instance will provide 16 GB RAM and 100 GB of Storage.

Choice Depends Upon Need Choose what you want.
