And this is our last session. We are taking a break. If you're visiting with us today, we're taking a break from working verse by verse through First Timothy. The last couple of days we have had our cheap grace conference, and so we've been preaching from text and scripture related to this heresy that's been attacking a church for 2,000 years, and certainly not letting up in our day and age, but this issue of cheap grace. This morning we're going to look at a topic, cheap grace and the Lordship of Christ. And we're going to look at that from Titus chapter 2, verses 11 through 15. The cheap grace and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. At its very essence, cheap grace is an attack on the authority and power and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. And what I've hoped is that through this conference, a number of things would be true. One is that maybe through preaching this to our people and edifying the building up the saints here at Cornerstone Baptist Church, that it would inform your understanding, would build discernment in you on these various issues related to this cheap grace heresy, but also that it would inform your evangelism. That as we share the gospel with a lost world that is by and large, if they claim any association or any relation whatsoever to any type form of so-called Christianity that you'd be able to speak to them from the word of God against this heresy and it would inform your evangelism. But also I hope, and there are many who are deceived by this. Our brother was speaking about that this morning, just deceived by one or more aspects of this heresy that Satan has masterfully woven into the fabric of the so-called church today and maybe woven into the fabric of your own thinking with respect to this. And what I hope to do, what I hope this conference has meant to you maybe, is that you've got those folks who are deceived by this and they are lost. They're not in Christ because they've been deceived by this error of cheap grace and yet they're sitting on a stool and while they're sitting on that stool, they're propping up legs under them, you know, trying to justify themselves, trying to hold on to some notion that they might be able to get away with living in their sin and be saved and so they keep propping legs up under their stool. And this may be for you and maybe the last leg you've got propped up under your stool and I want to kick it out from under you. We hope that the word of God would take away any false assurance you have that you're saved because you've believed or been duped by some error of cheap grace. I grew up in that. My light, before the Lord saved me, deceived my whole life by this notion of cheap grace. Calling myself a Christian, living in my sin, being deceived by the gospel that was being preached in the churches that I attended, many times faithfully went to church, thought that I was faithfully serving the Lord and yet I was lost.  There are many out there that need to be woken up, need to be awakened from their deception and I hope this conference has been helpful in that. Cheap grace is an attack. It's an attack on the authority, the power, the lordship of Jesus Christ. Cheap grace is essentially a no lordship position. In the thought of many who are taught this heresy, it is accepting Jesus Christ, receiving him as Savior without making him, so to speak, Lord, without submitting to him as Lord. They claim for themselves a full forgiveness, a full forgiveness from sin. They claim for themselves an eternal security and I believe that often the no lordship position is an unbiblical attempt to explain how someone can get saved without their life changing.  At some point they go back to living just like they did before they were quote unquote saved. They might say, parents about their kids, listen, I know Johnny, little Johnny is saved because little Johnny went down front, he cried big crocodile tears, he said that prayer, he responded to the altar call, the invitation and little Johnny, I was there when it happened.  Or I know that little Sally got saved. I know that little Sally is an adulterer, a fornicator.  It is a cheapened form of the grace of God that leads to salvation in Christ. This faulty notion of lordship salvation or of cheap grace has given rise to what they call a crisis point theology. That someone comes to Christ, they believe themselves to be saved and yet their life hasn't changed. And so that later at some point there's this expectation maybe in their 30s, maybe in their 40s where all of a sudden now they get serious for Christ and they start serving him. It's created an unbiblical crisis point theology that tears down the biblical understanding that sanctification is progressive throughout the life of the Christian. And so what does that do? It breeds this wrong and unbiblical theology that, okay, I'm not living for Christ and so now I'm feeling convicted over my sin and so I'm going to rededicate my life. Listen, rededication, that's nowhere in Scripture. The Christian dedicates their life to Christ once by God's grace and never again because they persevere in the faith. The Lord preserves them in the faith. It's just a lot of unbiblical notions that arise out of this attack on the lordship of Jesus Christ and this perverse spread of cheap grace. All of this is due to a faulty understanding of God's grace and true biblical salvation. A proper view of the lordship of Jesus Christ is understood in the light of a proper view of the grace of God. This is from John MacArthur. I said this yesterday. It bears repeating. The question is not whether we're saved by grace but how grace operates in salvation. No lordship advocates love to portray themselves as champions of grace and grace to them is a blanket forgiveness and literally nothing else. It is inoperative in the life of the Christian. It's a one-time transaction. They love to portray themselves as champions grace but they characterize grace in an anemic way that misses the whole point. God's grace is a spiritual dynamic that works in the lives of the redeemed instructing us as we'll see today to deny ungodliness and worldly desires to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age. True grace is more than just a giant freebie opening the door to heaven in the sweet by and by but leaving us to wallow in sin in the bitter here and now. Grace, God's grace is God presently at work in our lives. You get that? The Lord's grace presently at work in the lives of those that are in him, those that are abiding in the vine. It's an active living, thriving, working, sanctifying, purifying, teaching grace. If you don't have that grace, you have no grace. By grace it says we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. By grace he gave himself for us that he might redeem us from every lawless deed. There's a purpose there. By grace he gave himself for us so that for the purpose that he might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for himself a people for his own possession zealous for good deeds. Ultimately those that would deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ deny the dynamic, working, thriving efficacy of God's grace in salvation. It's not a cheapened grace. It's not a watered down grace. It's not an ineffective grace. It's not a stagnant grace. It's not a one time grace. It's not a here and done grace. It's not a grace that saves you and then leaves you powerless against sin. It's not a grace that saves you and leaves you in sin. It's not a grace that leaves you unchanged. It's not a grace that saves and then leaves you with the old, stinking, hard heart you always had. It's a grace that transforms. It's a grace that works. It's a grace that's effective. It's a cheap grace on the cheap grace side. The cheap grace is a grace that doesn't work in the lives of the redeemed. It's not active. It's stagnant. It's inert. It's a cheap grace that isn't a dynamic or effective working grace. It's nothing more than a one time transaction and the rest is just up to you. And if you live the way you've always lived, then okay, so be it. It's a grace that is stripped of its life transforming power. It's life sanctifying power. You know, there's a trend in liberalism to deny the miracles in scripture. They deny the inerrancy, the infallibility of scripture. They deny the miracles in scripture. Well, cheapened grace, a watered down grace, a watered down gospel, an attack on the lordship of Jesus Christ is an attack on the miraculous power of God to convert a soul and then transform that person, to sanctify them, to conform them into the image of Christ. It takes the miracle out of salvation. It's just a strip down to a decision that you make. You know what? I think today, Lord's going to be lucky to have me today. I'm going to get saved. Cheap grace is a grace that flows to a supposed regeneration rather than flowing from regeneration. Flowing from regeneration means that you are born again by the Spirit of God, that you are made alive in Christ from being dead in your sin and only able to produce a continuously sinful life. You are made alive in Christ Jesus and then faith and the fruits of faith, submission to his lordship, repentance, all flow from the new birth. It's cheap grace that says it's a decision of man, the activity of man, the faith of man, the repentance of man, the decision of man, the will of man that leads to being born again. Again, it's a way of saying, listen, God, I'm not going to trust you to save me. I'm going to save myself. And when I save myself, you need to give me the grace that I need to, you know, it's man-centered. Cheap grace is a grace that produces by the millions people who think they are saved and are not. And it is so prevalent today. It is not an exaggeration to say that a vast, vast majority of churches teach this kind of cheapened grace, this no-lordship heresy. Often times, they will say, if you ask them, and I have many times, they'll say out of one side of their mouth, you can't have Jesus as savior without having him as lord. But it doesn't line up in their practice because if you look down the rows of their church, you look at the leadership of the church, they're in sin. There is doctrinal error. There is error in the life. There's fornication and adultery and cheating and lying and gossiping and that's among the deacons. It's not a grace that produces a transformed life. In effect, it's a cheap grace that represents in the Scripture the broad road to destruction. The road is wide. The gate is wide. It's easy to find. And there are many who are on it. There are those that say, Lord, Lord, who will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Who are those that say, Lord, Lord? They're saying, Lord, Lord, that means they're in the church. They're those at churches scattered around here that say, Lord, Lord, they profess Jesus Christ as Lord. Out of one side of their mouth, they say, Lord, out of the other side, they're living a hypocritical life. They're not submitted to his lordship. It's an attack on the lordship of Jesus Christ. They say, Lord, Lord, God says, I never knew you. I never knew you. God says, I've not transformed your heart. I've not filled you with my spirit. The death of my son wasn't efficacious for you because you've not repented and believed. Sometimes the denial of what has become understood as lordship salvation is a far-reaching overreaction. No lordship position is an attempt to protect the character of God, protect his attribute of grace. We know God to be gracious, to be loving, and many think of God as a grandfatherly old type that would turn a blind eye to your sin, would sweep it under the rug, give you a piece of candy anyway, just a grandfatherly type of a view of God. And cheap grace is an overreaction to try to somehow, in an unbiblical sense, to try to protect this view or this character of God as being loving and gracious. But God is excessively loving and gracious, and that's only understood in a biblical view, with a biblical view of biblical grace. But also it's an attempt, an overreach, to try to protect a salvation that is by grace alone, through faith alone, apart from works. This is where that issue of regeneration comes in. These works are not meritorious human works. The works that this grace produces, that God's grace produces, the works that are produced by faith in the life of the believer are not meritorious works. They don't earn you a place in heaven, but they are the fruit of God's work in you produced by His Spirit. They're the fruits of that grace, they're the fruits of that faith. This is not a salvation by works, it's a salvation that works. Often in churches it's far more insidious than either one of those denials. It is a demonic counterfeit used to deceive. You get as many people in as possible to pad the wallets of a false teacher. The Lord says among false teachers that a prominent reason for a false teacher, a prominent motivation for a false teacher is covetousness. From the least of them to the greatest of them, they're all given to covetousness. And we see that by and large all over the place today. In reality, the no-lordship position, saying that you can have Christ as Savior while not submitting to Him as Lord, has completely undermined the salvation by the grace of God alone through faith alone. They have thrown out the baby with the bathwater. Let's remove the veil, so to speak. Let's go behind the curtain and take a look at the reality of the no-lordship position. There are seven things that this no-lordship position denies. Let's take a look at these denials. One, on your notes here, the denial of Christ's lordship is a cloak for disobedience. It's a cloak for licentiousness, a cloak for hypocrisy. 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 24 says, Christ himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness. Because of what Christ has done, because He bore our sins in his body on the tree, we have died to sin. We've died to the penalty of sin, certainly, but we've also died, as Romans says, to the power of sin in our lives. You are free from sin in Christ to live a life that is pleasing to Him, to deny yourselves and live for righteousness. But cheap grace would say that that doesn't matter how you live. Live as you want. Sin it up. The example of three free sins is unbelievable that you can get away with that kind of contradiction of God's word. Titus 1 verse 16 says, they profess to know God. They say, I'm a Christian. They say, Lord, Lord, but in works they deny Him being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. It's an attempt. No Lordship position is an attempt to have your sin, to clutch your sin with one hand and to hold on to Christ with the other. You can't do it. You can't do it. Number two, the denial of Christ's Lordship is a cloak for impenitence. No Lordship position says that repentance is unnecessary for salvation. And if you try to say that repentance is necessary, you're adding works. Say that repentance is in no way related to saving faith. The Bible says, repent or perish. Repent. Salvation to the no Lordship position is nothing more than simple belief, simple belief. Number three, the denial of Christ's Lordship is a cloak for rebellion against authority. Rebellion against the authority and Lordship of Jesus Christ. It is a rebellion against Christ's right to reign over you. Luke chapter 9 verse 23, if anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up the instrument of his own execution daily, and follow me. Verse 24, for whoever desires to save his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life, listen, give it up, abandon it, forsake it, lose your life for Christ's sake. Whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he clings onto his sin, if he clings onto his own reign over his own life, if he clings onto his own self-will, self-indulgence? What profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and is himself destroyed or lost? Romans chapter 14 verse 7 says this, for none of us lives to himself and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lords. For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. And additionally, it's far more here, right, than just an authority or a Lordship issue.  You delight to be pleasing in His sight, to serve Him, to love Him, to evangelize with His gospel. It's a delight, and it is ridiculous, absurd to think that you can come to Christ apart from His right to reign in your life. At number four, the denial of Christ's Lordship is a cloak for a fruitless and heartless faith, a heartless external moralism, a heartless religion. 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 7, to you who believe he is what? Remember? Precious, precious. To you who believe he is precious. That's a changed heart, a fruit of a changed heart.  Once the Lord saves you, gives you a new heart and dwells you with His Spirit, Christ is precious. Is He precious to you? Is He your heart, just in thinking on Christ, thinking on His excellencies, and what He has done on behalf of you, a wicked sinner, a deplorable sinner.  It's just, is He precious to you? 1 Corinthians 16 verse 22, if anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Apart from genuine grace, we couldn't love Christ. Apart from the grace of God and in Christ Jesus, we had a heart that despised Him. At best, you were just indifferent. And that's hatred in the way the Bible would describe it. A believer may forsake the faith altogether, come to the point of not believing at all. There may be no growth, there may be no fruit, and they are eternally secure in the no-Lordship position, in the no-Lordship understanding of grace. You can claim Christ one day and be an atheist the next, and claim heaven and be eternally secure in the no-Lordship understanding of grace. Think about this, speaking of a fruitless and a heartless faith, in the no-Lordship position, it's enough simply to believe a set of facts. You know what? I believe Christ. But think about it this way, if you turn to someone that you know, turn to someone that you love, and you say I believe you, how is that different from I trust you? There's a difference, right? Expand that by a thousand, and you have faith in Christ, you have a depiction of what faith looks like. It's not just an I believe in a set of facts, it's different to say I believe you than it is to say I trust you. I trust you. In Christ, biblical saving faith is a trust of all we are, all we are to all that He is, all that He's done, all that He stands for, all that Christ is, to trusting Him with our very salvation, our eternal destiny. It is a trust, and that trust comes with commitment. And the denial of Christ-Lordship is a cloak for fruitless and heartless faith. Number five, the denial of Christ-Lordship is a cloak for spiritual midgets. It's a little cloak. It's a cloak for spiritual midgets. There may be absolutely no spiritual growth, no maturity, no sanctification. You can be saved, claim Christ, be eternally secure, and yet not be sanctified, not grow in the faith, not mature. First Thessalonians chapter four verse three says, for the will of God is this, your sanctification.  Number six, the denial of Christ-Lordship is a cloak for man-centered theology, man's sovereignty, man's decisions. It's a cloak for dethroning God. Man in the no-Lordship position is just worth it. You know how valuable you are, right?  You're the one who is precious. Look at everything that he did for man, they might say. Reminded of that, him like a rose trampled on the ground, he took the fall and thought of me above all. Listen, the Lord is zealous for his own glory. The Lord is zealous for his own glory. It's the Lord's glory that we live for. Philippians chapter two verse nine says this, Therefore, God also has highly exalted him and given him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those in heaven and of those on earth and of those under the earth and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. That the kingdom of heaven is like a great treasure that was hidden in the field and a man sold everything to acquire the field that he might have the treasure. The kingdom of heaven is like a pearl of great price that a man went out looking for it. He found this pearl, sold all that he had to acquire the pearl, to acquire the kingdom. In other words, you give up everything for who he is. It's not cheap. You give up all that you are. It's all about the glory of God. It's not going to be the Godhead in heaven worshiping you for all eternity. You're going to be in heaven worshiping God. Look quickly, very quickly at John chapter 17. Let me just give you an example of this. John chapter 17. This is hard. If you've grown up in these churches, it's a complete shift in your thought process to understand this. God loves. There's no question about it. And Christ paid the price for a redeemed humanity. He, we love him because he what? First love does. So God loves, but it's about the glory of God. Look at John chapter 17. Look at verse 1. John chapter 17 verse 1. Jesus spoke these words, lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. He is about to be crucified. The hour has come. Glorify your son, that your son also may glorify you. As you have given him authority over all flesh that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him. And this is eternal life that they may know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I have glorified you on the earth. I finished the work which you have given me to do. And now, oh Father, glorify me together with yourself, with the glory which I had with you before the world was. In redeeming a lost and sinful and rebellious and wicked humanity to worship Christ, to worship God, God glorifies himself. Jesus Christ glorifies himself. In God giving a redeemed humanity to the Lamb, God glorifies the Son. In the Son giving that humanity back, that love gift back to the Father. He glorifies the Father. We are the love gift. We are the redeemed humanity that worships him to see God high and lifted up, to see him glorified. Look at verse 24 in the same chapter, verse 24. Father, I desire that they also whom you gave me may be with me where I am.  Oh righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you. And these have known that you sent me and I have declared to them your name. And will declare it that the love with which you love me may be in them and I in them. You think about glorifying God. It's not that God, you can add anything to the glory of God. God is fully glorified in himself. He is perfect in his glory. When we say Lord I desire to glorify you, may my actions glorify you. Lord I want to glorify you in my prayer, glorify you in my obedience.  Reflect your glory in my thoughts and in my heart and in my prayer and in my obedience. You're reflecting the glory of God. We were created to reflect the glory of God and to worship him. It's about the glory of God. 7. The denial of Christ's lordship is a cloak for lost. It's a cloak for lost. It bears repeating, there are many who say, Lord, Lord, who do not do the will of the Father. For lack of time, we're familiar with Matthew chapter 7, verse 24, where those who hear these sayings of mine and do them are like a wise man who builds his house on the rock. When the storm of God's judgment comes against that house, it'll stand because it's founded and built on the rock of obedience to the commands of Christ. Here's those sayings and does them.  He listens to the commands of Christ. He listens to all that we are to be in Christ. He hears these sayings of mine and does not do them.  Lordship, this is the Lordship issue in a nutshell. The No Lordship, Sheep Grace Theology, describes the false convert that we're warned about repeatedly throughout Scripture. It describes that false convert. Sheep Grace, or No Lordship Theology, in that sense if you think about it, it's worse than purgatory. Purgatory, just a figment of some man's imagination. Just come up with the purgatory. At least purgatory attempts to deal with sin. Sheep Grace doesn't deal with sin at all. You're more than welcome in your sin and you can still be a child of God. This is so clear in Scripture, but Satan is all about boring lines causing confusion. And he's had 2,000 years to do it. There's no confusion with the word of God. Don't be deceived.  So here's what it looks like in practice to confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Acknowledging one, acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord, involves obedience to his commands. Luke chapter 6 verse 46. Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not do the things which I say? Two, acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord, involves surrendering your will to his Lordship.  Matthew chapter 10 verse 38 says, he who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Take up the instrument of your own execution and follow Christ. Three, acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord, involves walking in those works that he has prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10 says, for we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Those good works that we just got to wait to heaven before we do them? No, he's talking about good works here. You become a Christian, he saves you to walk in good works that's submitting to his Lordship. Acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord, involves persevering in him to the end, not turning away. Luke 9 verse 62 says, no one having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. It speaks to that perseverance. Mark was speaking of this morning. We are not severe in the faith, and we are preserved in the faith by God's grace. Lastly, acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord, involves a sovereign work of God alone in the heart of every believer. It is God's working. First Corinthians chapter 12 verse 3, therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the spirit of God calls Jesus a cursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Now, you can teach a parrot to say Jesus is Lord. No one can say Jesus is Lord and have a life that attests to that reality apart from the Holy Spirit in them. That's what that's saying. That's just a small representative list. Jesus Christ is Lord. And then understand that this is all encompassed. This is all encompassed. All of this is encompassed in the grace that comes to us from God in Christ Jesus. It's encompassed in the grace that works. These are not our works that somehow merit favor with God. They're not our works. They are the Holy Spirit enabled, Holy Spirit empowered. God wrought works. They are fruit, if you will, of the new birth. Cheap grace proponents often speak of making Christ Lord at some point after conversion. Now, go live this sinful life and at some point in my 30s and my 40s, I'll make Christ Lord of my life. I'll begin living for Him.  Christ is Lord. The New Testament acknowledges Jesus Christ is Lord 747 times in the New Testament alone. Acts chapter 2 verse 36 Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. That's our introduction. Let's turn to Titus chapter 2. Titus chapter 2. Let's look at this in Scripture, in practice. Titus chapter 2, beginning in verse 11, it instructs us what this grace of God looks like practically to the Christian who comes to Christ in repentance and faith. This is real-world application of this powerful, efficacious working grace of God. In Titus 2, beginning in verse 11, the Bible says, that brings salvation as a peer to all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people zealous for good works. Speak these things, exhort and rebuke with all authority, let no one despise you. He begins in verse 11, for the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared, has appeared to all men. That word for appeared there is where we get our English word epiphany from. It's an appearing. It brings to light something that was hidden or in the shadows, right? It's used elsewhere for the rising or the appearing of the sun. So this grace of God appears as the rising of the sun. It's a glorious thought, right? The picture, the grace of God appearing to all men as the rising of the sun. Which is brought to light then. That epiphany, that rising of the sun is the grace of God. And that one word encompasses everything. It encompasses the incarnation of Christ, the perfect life of Christ, the death of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, the ascension of Christ, the intercession of Christ. All of God's work in redemptive history is encompassed by that one word grace. The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It doesn't mean that all men are saved. The same intent is meant here as we saw in 1 Timothy 2.6 where Christ was said to give himself a ransom for all. Here it's appeared to all men in the sense that it is the only one. It's the only hope. There is salvation in none other. This salvation that has appeared is the only one. There's one God, one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time. However, what it brings is it brings salvation, salvation from God's wrath, salvation from the penalty and power of sin, and notice it's the grace of God that brings that salvation you don't call it down by your decision, by your human will. It's not the exercise of your faith that calls down the fire from heaven, so to speak. John 1.13 says, men are born again, not of blood, not on your own nature, nor of the will of the flesh you can decide all you want to. It's not going to be the will of your flesh, nor of the will of man, it says, but of God. Romans 9.16 says, it is not of him who wills. It is not of him who runs. You can exert all the effort that you want to exert. It is of God who shows mercy. Salvation is of the Lord. Verse 12, he goes on to say that this grace that has appeared to all men, it teaches us it teaches us that denying ungodliness and worldly lust we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age. Grace here personifies it takes on the role of teacher and instructor. Therefore that grace doesn't only deliver, it doesn't only rescue in a one moment in time transaction, it acts as a teacher, acts as a guide, it instructs by God's grace we come under the spirit of God, working through the word of God. The word there for teaching is present active meaning that it is ongoing. It's a continuous way of life, a continuous teaching to those who are under it. It also carries the sense that we're teaching there of discipline. There's a discipline or a chastisement that comes along with that training. And as important as it is that the salvation that we have in Christ is from the penalty of sin. The primary emphasis of this here from Paul is this is a salvation from the power of sin. That in grace teaching you and instructing you sometimes with discipline, right? Sometimes with chastisement. But in it's teaching of you and it's training, if you will, of you that training goes on in the life of the Christian. It is a removal of sin from you. It's a purifying of the believer. Not only just rescuing us from the penalty of sin, but also from the power of sin from the presence of sin in our life. This grace trains us two things. One, trains us to deny certain things, ungodliness and worldly lusts. But it also trains us to live in a certain way. That we should live soberly, righteously, and godly. Right? And this is already, you think about grace in this way just from verse 11 and 12. This is already way over the head of a cheap grace or no lordship position. If you believe that it's just the grace of God that shows up in a one-time moment of salvation this goes far beyond that in just these two verses alone. This is the grace of God that trains us, teaches us, instructs us, guides us, works in us to do into will according to his good pleasure. It's not just inoperative. It is operative. One here, it teaches us that we're to deny ourselves. We're to get rid of anything ungodly. Anything that stands opposed to God. Any worldly lusts, a good word for that is desires. Just worldly desires. You have a desire for worldly things. The grace of God teaches us to deny that. Anything that arises from within a person's flesh and it requires the training that we're guided under with this grace, it requires an act of your will. The grace of God trains you to deny ungodliness, so what do you do? You respond in an act of your will to deny yourself that worldly lust, that worldly pleasure. It's the grace of God, the power of God at work in us that teaches us to do that. Secondly, the grace here shows us how we are to live. There is a putting off of these worldly desires, a putting off of ungodliness, and there's a putting on of godliness, a putting on of sober thinking, sober acting, putting on of righteousness. There's a substitution that goes on in the cheap grace camp. You're no lordship. They don't think about anything of taking off. There's no necessity, no compulsion to free yourself from sin or to allow the grace of God to work in you to rescue you from the presence of sin in your life, and so there's nothing that can be added. You're in your filth, you're in your sin. You try to add righteousness to that.  All of it, the lot together. You put off that ungodliness. You put off those worldly desires, and you substitute those worldly desires from your old flesh, those worldly desires from the unconverted man, and you put on godliness. You put on righteousness. One goes out the door. If you don't fill that void, and that demon and seven of his buddies are going to come along, right? You got to fill that void. You put on godliness. You put on righteousness. There's a substitution that takes place.  You can't live the Christian life if you're not going to say no to certain things. And if you're a Christian, it is the grace of God in Christ that is at work in you to teach you how to say no, to train you to say no, to deny yourself. But it's not all denial. We're to pursue other things. We're to pursue sober living, righteous living, godly living, to get rid of ungodliness and put on godliness. All right. All of this, remember, as it says here, is going on in the present age. That's not going to happen in heaven. It happens now. The grace of God is at work. In other words, grace here is not something, just something that is bestowed on to provide a one-time event of salvation. Grace is operative. It's dynamic and it's working now if you're in Christ. Grace not only delivers us in Christ Jesus, but grace transforms us until we are fully and finally delivered. So having been declared righteous through our justification in Christ, now under this training grace, we practice righteousness as a part of our sanctification. Romans 521 says this, so that as sin reigned in death, even so, grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So is this done yourself? Do you do this yourself?   No. Grace is that which is operative. You are not. Grace is that which is active. The training under grace is a free gift, just like the free gift of salvation. This is a free gift of God's grace, and as a Christian you will be trained. It is God that works in you.   You walk in them, but it is in this power of the spirit. It's God's spirit. It's God that has the victory in your life when you are trained under this grace. Think about the way that grace has taught you since coming to Christ. You're claiming to be in Christ. Do you think about the grace that works in you facing a difficulty? You think about the grace that is at work in you by the spirit of God through the word of God the grace that is operative in you when you face opportunity to sin. Do you say no?  Is grace operative?  Is it grace that is teaching you to deny ungodliness and worldly lust? One commentator said this. He says the sovereign purpose of all exhortations to holy living in Scripture is to honor and glorify God through the righteous living of His people leading to the salvation of more sinners. You're to live righteously. You're to live soberly. Verse 13 says, looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God Jesus Christ. I'm grateful for Mark's expansion on that from Jude this morning. Just looking for Christ hopefully eagerly anticipating His return. Is grace training you to do that? Is it operative in your life for that? The grace of God. And again, that glorious appearing that word appearing, rising of the sun. It says in verse 14, Christ gave himself for us that He might redeem us from every lawless deed, purify us for Himself, His own special people. Verse 13, this is the culmination of our salvation, our eventual glorification. It's one of the strongest statements in Scripture regarding the deity of Jesus Christ. Do you look forward to the hope of His coming? Would you be found wanting if He came back now? For some, but only for some. This is a hopeful watching. Is it a hopeful watching for you? Verse 14, this salvation by this operative grace rescues us, it redeems us. That word there redeem means to secure rescue from penalty by the payment of a price. It purifies, purify there means to make clean, to cleanse. Redeem here is used of removing Christians from the control of sin. Removing Christians out from under the penalty of sin, out from under the power of sin. Redeemed, that price paid to remove Christians from the control of the power of sin. Purify here, purifying for Himself, His own special people, speaks of removing the defilement of sin from the life of the Christian. He purifies us in our sanctification, removing the defilement of sin from the life of the Christian, slowly, slowly, over time, conforming you into the image of Christ. This is all the redeemed of all time in Christ so that we are a special and personal possession of Christ. We're to be zealous for good works. That's a mark of conversion. Zealous for good works is a fruit of efficacious grace. Zealous for good works is a submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and zealous for good works. Zealous for good works as a fruit of this grace is the death knell of cheap grace. And we are in this preserved and persevere to the end, according to God's grace. So three things left to do, verse 15. You're to speak these things, you're to exhort, and you're to rebuke with all authority. We see in this one that grace is not a cheap, static, inert, powerless, toothless right grace. It's not an ineffective or a worthless grace. It's a working, living, healthy, vigorous, transforming, training grace, a grace in Christ that is truly precious and sought for in the Christian. Two, an outworking of grace is at work in the heart to submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. This is an outworking of grace. And there are implications for this in your life.  Fall but the Lord may lift you up.  Christ makes demands on your life. He demands your life. And given the gospel it's a reasonable demand, isn't it? It would be saved and serve him. Aspergent said this, and it's a warning. It is extremely rare that an ordinary sinner who makes a profession of being what he is not to ever be converted. Because with this lie from Satan of a cheapened grace an inoperative grace a worthless grace we inoculate ourselves to the truth of God. You convince yourself your heart is such a deceitful betrayer that any kind of way out, any kind of way of escape any kind of notion that you can live in your sin and claim Christ you're only too willing to grasp hold of that with everything that you've got and to cling to that instead of clinging to Christ.  That's why it's often said that in evangelism, man you gotta work hard to get them lost so that they can be saved. You're inoculated to the truth. What is impossible for man though is certainly possible for God and if you will pry, if you'll allow the Lord the spirit of God to pry your cold dead fingers off your own self-righteousness off your own self-justification John Bunyan made a comment and it stuck with me over the years that he wanted assurance of his salvation not because he readily and presumptuously picked it up himself but because the Lord God and his grace gave it to him and you think of that yourself you claim you wrap your fingers around your own self-righteousness, your own self-justification I'm saved because I believe and yet you're living in your sin you don't have a heart for the things of God you don't love the word of God you don't hunger and thirst for righteousness you don't have affection and love and zeal for Christ you're not a Christian and you need to allow the spirit of God to convict you of sin and of judgment and of righteousness you need to humble yourself you need to turn from this false notion that you can be saved and live in your sin and you just need to humble yourself and turn to Christ it is the humble that God exalts it's the proud, it's the haughty, it's the self-righteous that are cast down God be merciful to me a sinner needs to be your cry and the Lord will lift you up and tell you don't be deceived he who practices righteousness is righteous and that is the operative work of a thriving vibrant vital grace in your life it is the grace of God in the spirit of God through the word of God to turn his people from sin to purify you, don't be deceived practice righteousness, let's pray Father in heaven thank you for this instruction from your word God, I pray that you would blind eyes unplug stopped ears pry open stony hard hearts and save for your glory God teach us through your word pierce us with your word protect us God from this wicked deceptive lie of the devil and help us to see the truth in your word for what it is to not be deceived but to believe on Christ believe on you and to trust in Christ for this glorious grace God that works in the life of every believer we thank you for it God thank you for your grace in Christ to save us to rescue us God from the penalty of sin from the power of sin and to purify us, redeem us from the presence of sin from the work of your spirit and thank you Lord for your grace thank you for Christ thank you for the salvation that you've given us in him it's beautiful God and we hold it to be valuable and precious for your glory God in Jesus name Amen


On the same day that the River of Blood DLC comes out, Back 4 Blood is also releasing a new free game mode called Trial of the Worm. And today we're going to dive into that and show you around. So once you load into Trial of the Worm, you of course select your character and then your deck. And once you lock in your character in your deck, you run into one of the first pillars of Trial of the Worm, which is the Corruption Modifiers. Well now you might be wondering, Corruption Modifiers, well what am I modifying here? If you look at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen it says Show Modifiers. Let's select that. And you'll see that Trial of the Worm actually starts off at Recruit Difficulty. Now if I were to go and select one of these Corruption Modifiers here, you'll see something that's added to this right-hand column. Meaning that Ridden Now Deal, 5% more damage. I can do it again. And now Mutations have faster melee speed, so on and so forth, and we can keep making the game more difficult. And each one of these trees has their own set of modifiers that makes the game more difficult.  Well, you might have second thoughts after you're like oh god I don't know if I'm quite ready for all this. You can go right-click, bring it back down to an area that you might feel more comfortable with. And go ahead and mix and match this difficulty to however you want to play. You can make it as easy or as difficult as you like. But now why would I make it more difficult? If you take a look at the top left-hand corner of the screen that says Score and Bonus Multiplier. Well, if I go ahead and I click one of these Corruption Modifiers here you'll see that the Bonus Multiplier goes up. Indicating that the more difficult the game is the higher your score will be. So I'm going to go ahead and select a couple modifiers here, put it in a good spot for me and then we'll go into the next level. Gonna lock in and now we're into the map vote. Now to me this is one of the coolest parts of Trial of the Wyrm. As you'll see here we get three random maps and now this can be from Act 1 or Act 2 or even Act 6 or Act 5 or even the Ridden Hives. All of these maps here are available to you and they rotate in between each round of Trial of the Wyrm. If you look at the top right-hand corner of the screen it says Map 1 of 4. Indicating that you pick a map here, go through the map and then you move on to map 2 of 4. Do it again. Map 3 of 4. Do it again. Map 4 of 4. And each time you complete a map you go through another phase of how difficult do I want to make the game and then which map do I want to pick. So right now I'm taking a peek here, I'm not really sure what I want to pick. What are these things here? These bonus intel. There's a new thing in Trial of the Wyrm called Boons. And what these Boons do is they make it so they provide you with a little bit of a bonus to make the game a little bit easier because things can get pretty difficult in Trial of the Wyrm if you so choose. But if you're really paying attention here you'll see there's another thing here that looks a little unfamiliar. Let me click this plus 4 and what you'll see is we actually have a curse. Now there are Boons but there's also curses. Curses are basically the opposite of Boons. They make the map more difficult. What they also do is they increase the amount of score. You might be wondering well what goes into the score here on the left? The score is dictated by your multipliers, your map and then all the nasties we have going on here inside of the corruption cards. So I'm going to select a friend to need and load in. And you'll see our corruption cards here. We have some of the new ridden here. We have the sentinel class but then we also have our Boons. We have our curse here and a bunch of things that might be a little bit more familiar such as shredders, tallboys, volatile, charred, etc. Now something we should bring attention to here while we're in the burn card phase is that Trial of the Worm does not have any continues. We take a peek here. It says hell can wait, active limit reached. There is no continues in Trial of the Worm. If your team dies, that's it and you have to start a new run and compete for a new high score. And if we go into the menu here you'll also see Trial of the Worm 0 continues. And now while we're in this screen one thing that you might be thinking is oh gosh I don't remember all these things we just selected. How do I go back to look at them? Well if you select corruption modifiers here at the top of the screen and then show modifiers you'll get to see a big list of all the different things that you have selected so far. Now I'm going to match here by myself with bots but luckily they went ahead and gave me quite a bit of copper so I'm going to go ahead and take a look at the vendor here and see what I want to select and you'll actually see some of the corruption modifiers kicking in already. We have increased vendor prices here which came in from the player tree. I'm going to go ahead and spend some of my copper here and get my load out set and then we'll show you a few more things to know about Trial of the Worm. Now over on the left hand side of the screen you might notice it says silence is gold and plus six thousand. Now on the right hand side of Trial of the Worm you get bonus score for completing your secondary objectives so you need to play clean and play careful make sure all of your teammates make it to the end and then also make sure you're not setting off any hazards if you want to make sure you get the maximum amount of points that you can while you're progressing to Trial of the Worm. And now speaking of increasing your score there's actually one other part of Trial of the Worm that's very important to consider if you want to get a high score. These mementos. In Trial of the Worm we have fabulous mementos which are basically shiny mementos that increase the amount of score that you get at the end of the level. There's a minimum of five mementos on every map. You can get more mementos if you increase your player tree high enough to increase your score but there's a minimum of five mementos on each map. So make sure you thorough when you're going through your map here to try and make sure you pick up every memento to make sure you get the highest score and these mementos are affected by that multiplier that you selected in the corruption modifiers. So the harder the game is the more that those mementos are going to provide score for you. Same thing with your secondary objective. The harder the game is the more that secondary objective is going to increase your score. So we've about cleared the level here I'm going to get in here and get through the map and you'll get to see a score breakdown here. The top left hand corner says 20,000 and once we actually get through the completed screen here you'll see a little bit more of a breakdown here as to what went into that score. So you'll see the map completed was about 7,000 of our score. Cleaner survived is also a very big part of Trial of the Worm. The more people that are alive at the end of the level the more score you're going to get. Completing your secondary objective increases your score and then so did finding a couple of those mementos. And now that we've made it through the score breakdown we're actually back at increasing our difficulty. Now we can't decrease our difficulty anymore. You can only do that within the round but we can go ahead and increase it. So maybe we're ready to crank it up a notch or maybe we had a good chance to get ourselves situated with our loot and now we feel ready to take on a higher challenge. And we can go ahead and do that, increase our multipliers here and you'll see when we lock in that the scores that we have on our maps are actually going to look quite a bit higher because we went ahead and increased the difficulty of the game by a pretty significant degree there. And you go through this whole process until you've completed four maps. Now for my second map I selected cost accessible which is a written hive. Some things to know about the hives in Trial of the Worm. You're not going to find a hive just sitting on a map that you can enter in the middle of a map. The only way you get into a hive is if you select it during map select. Another thing to know about the hives is that the shop is fully featured. Inside of campaign you don't get to do all these different upgrades but in Trial of the Worm you can upgrade anything on any map. And the last thing you might notice here is that your secondary objective in hives is to go ahead and find all three skull totems. You're not going to complete your secondary objective and get your points unless you get all three of them. So I'm on my third map here and I upgraded everything all the way through. And you'll see the score can get really, really high and the game can look really, really scary. So there is a wide range of what you can do in Trial of the Worm. You can make it as easy as you like or absolutely bonkers. So speaking of things being bonkers, let's say we bit off a little bit more than we could chew in the round ends. Well then what happens? So since there's no continues in Trial of the Worm we reach our final score and we see how we did. So I'm going to go ahead and press skip here and bring us into our score and you'll see that in this instance of Trial of the Worm I had about 250,000 for my score here. I press continue and we have a leaderboard section here as well as actually my career high score right now. So I can go over to leaderboards here and take a peek in the regional area here. We can see a list of all the different high scores that people have accumulated so far. Now all these high scores here are from people testing the game. This is going to be very different when the full thing comes out on December 6th and perhaps you'll find yourself at the top of one of these leaderboards. And once you get out of Trial of the Worm in case you didn't already notice there's actually a new tent over here which is completely dedicated to the leaderboard. So we'll go ahead and check the leaderboard here and we can see all the high scores including my own personal best at the bottom of the screen. So this was a little bit more about Trial of the Worm here. I hope it helped teach you a few things about the game mode. I hope you understand it a little bit better now and I hope you enjoy it when it comes out on the 6th of December. Thank you guys. I appreciate you tuning into this video and then we'll see you guys in the next video that we do around here.


Today we'll be talking about terminal services Welcome everyone. I Hope you had a good evening yesterday. I did very maybe sit down a little bit later and Yeah, I will talk about exploring terminal services and I Will release today some tools that my friend party Carlson has written and some tools that I have written and And then I Think I just keep keep the talk to the fun stuff, you know, so I have some Some nice demonstration Then boring slides You will find the tools on the CD That you got but I think Patrick on his site secure.net is going to Really have a web page there for you. So what should I talk about today? Well, I Don't know if anyone heard my speech two years ago about C-tricks and terminal services Fun perfect. I would like continue from there So I will I will last time okay I'm going to talk say like this instead like C-tricks in terminal services Is is someone here who doesn't know how it works? We'll remove desktop things. Okay, and what I spoke about it was like breaking out from giving given environment and Then and I did also talk lots about about C-tricks and their published published applications But what happens if you have a shell on the C-tricks of terminal server? What should you do? What should the hacker do? What will he do more or less? So you're talking about very very briefly about exploring And then I will talk to you about more about uploading files, and I will talk even more about gaining system and The most fun part controlling the local Hard drives of the clients connecting to to the C-tricks or terminal servers that will be fun, I guess So exploring. Yeah, this is normal stuff, you know people Connecting to it to a terminal services C-tricks. They the first thing they do is doing a net stat If they are bad intended It's because they want to see what Servers can I reach and what's clients clients are connecting right now? You can do our to see in a little bit more IP addresses and Net user view and such session remember that you are sitting whom on your local client and You are connecting. I have a desktop on a removed Server on the different Network so if you're doing like net view, you will see the computers that surrounds the this terminal server or C-tricks server and that's Interesting I will I will I will also Talk you will not talk about it. It's normal stuff But you have to remember you can also do lots of these stuff to access To different accounts on your own machine You're you're you're in this session. They can start a C-tricks session in the session To to gain to password guess to other other accounts Maybe you're not allowed to log in from the internet from from from a C-tricks session or or you can't reach VNC from from internet, but on the terminal server and if you find the client You can start passing guessing on this on the same machine that you are and VBS. Yeah, oh God my friend Patrick. He's so amazing, you know, he wrote the Excel port scanner It is it's on the CD. It's it actually works so So if you have that like like you want to port scan a network and you write I have just Can you just run Excel there? and He also Experimenting with the user switching in other like the like the false user switching Yeah, I have actually got that working in Excel like you just write with session you want to Send your session to You will like exchange sessions But the problem is that you have to be administrator and you will send your administrator administrator into facing some other guy, but well Like there could be some some interesting things to do there, but we will not release it here Will we will look into it more deeply first? So the VBS thing it's you can use like Windows API calls Understand, so you have like unlimited access through Excel or Word or something If you're allowed to to run this DLL VBS sometimes The terminal server and Citrix servers are are really locked up You know, you can't run anything can't access CMD command.com FTP And you want some you want a good shelf to like start your programs from Like a run dot dot dot box People forget about Progman, you know, Progman the old Windows 3.1 desktop Yeah, yeah, and it's it's perfectly if you have this run thing there and So you can have this history of commands so you can do lots of commands and This computer management management thing people are forgetting about that too if you if you're going to lock down a computer a terminal server Citrix well You have to lock down so much, you know, it's very hard to use it with the computer But I think it's the only way I Will also say I really like terminal servers and Citrix is I think it that idea is very good But you have to think twice how you implement it and why you're using it That's just one thing and the run DLL. Have you have seen all the things you can do with a run DLL? Well, I tried to disable that If you you can do like starting in the network place wizard or Maybe tell net why not? So you can do a lot of things through run DLL too There there is a very very very big list of Things that you're shouldn't be allowed to on the terminal Citrix server through this run DLL. I'll not talk about it So uploading files Sooner or later the client or the hacker wants to upload his stuff. He wants to run his local exploits to gain system and He want to upload his exploits this is usually and easily done by Then the normal terminal server in Citrix local client map That I will explain it will be like that then the the local client connects to the server the terminal server and In this session this desktop remote desktop if you open Explorer who will see his local network drives there and it's very easy to just Double-click on it and run your your exploits from there, but very many people don't allow it so they disable it that feature and Maybe yeah, they disable it the other way Is of course if you if this terminal server Citrix server has internet connection, of course, it's very easy to use just download download the stuff But what happens if you are? Or it's a very locked up computer that the local client drying mappings is disabled and And and you have no internet connection from this session. There is a program I've found it somewhere and it you can find it also. It's called net send dot exe It it converts a binary file to a to a text file a readable text file and And it's so amazing. I like it a lot. It's it's So you can you can read the the file so What you do is it's your transform your binary that you will upload to text file and open it in notepad copy everything and then you open notepad on on on the terminal server in in the terminal server session and you do paste and You've got your program there and if it's larger than the 64k it you you encodes it and How should you decode it? Well, of course the guy who wrote net send also wrote the program called mode com and It's a huge encoder also readable So you just copy paste save and then it's just ready to execute. You don't have to do anything It's amazing But it all fails If copy and paste is also disabled, of course, you're you are able To type right you can type your username and password and stuff. Of course the last Thing you can do it's upload the file with a keyboard It takes a time, but I've written a tool that does it for you So it should be a little bit faster than doing by itself. I doing a demonstration later it's quite fun and This script can also Transform files to a debug script and I don't know if you you Is know the tool but ease. It's a it's a pearl script so that And that's it you Unicode Unicode bug in IIS No one Well, there is then a feature in that Unicode tool to upload Upload files as in the bug script I've written that script and I just modified it so I have no size limit and That's pretty hard in in in debug.exe. That's just kind of can handle 16 bits per program so and Gaining system so we have now uploaded our stuff on the on the terminal server So now I have to gain system to run these programs then normal thing of course is Is is replace system binaries the easiest way File write stuff, you know, it's just change the backup program to your your your Stuff and like new new fully qualified path. There's a problem in Windows like Unix have sold it in several years But but in Windows still is there like util man, you know the util man exploits right there Let's start experimenting with it. Just copying you util man to a local directory and and Then you put your your DLLs in that directory and starts util man, and it will try to read your DLLs instead and the thing I Will have also I've written a small program that the Skeleton program more or less I will make a demonstration that does this It's almost like shattered do anyone would went to the shutter speech the window shutter. Yeah, it was so cool I loved it. Oh God, and it's and they talked about that This is going to be a problem with all the all the terminal service and Citrix service so But that I've written is just a basic skeleton 1a stuff, but I will show you how it works and One of my friend told me why don't you just? installs a true-gen driver printer driver When I said, well, what are you talking about? Well, what you do They have actual code and working exploits for this. I will not release anything What you do is that you have your client Have that you you shares a printer a true-gen printer and when the When you're in the terminal session, you're allowed to add printers And you search for a printer and you just Pointed back to your true-gen printer and when it tries to install a true-gen printer It runs a command prompt And the installation will fail so you got a command prompt as with local system rights It's pretty neat and the most fun part of it. It's just like it failed and you want to retry So it if you close this that come that the window the command prompt you can just retry and it will get a new one perfect and Here's the weird part. I will not talk about the normal stuff Of course when I when I when a user Logs in to Terminus Citrix session There's runs login scripts and stuff and you can do stuff to to the the guy's hard drive there But I will talk about a Vulnerability in Citrix that has been patched right now Patrick found it and I've written a tool for it it it then steals or Gain you get access to to Citrix look locals hard drives of Citrix users and Yeah, I will Maybe talk about here what it does is like It If you're running win objects from sis internals, you will see that all Citrix sessions has these DOS devices For in this example In session one His local hard drive C is mapped in this Citrix session to X. Okay, and the other user Has the almost the same but he has seen since session two with one line of API and admin rights you can map the other guys Hard drive You just point. I will not have my session I want this guy's sessions and you get his His hard drive mapped to X instead You just change the one to two and you get his hard drive or three to the third person And he written a very easy nice tool for it to go. You so you can just click it and and and It's easy and easy to enumerate and so it's Yeah, you will see it work. I will make a demonstration of it. There is a patch available for this So my my friend Patrick thing, okay, they patched it but If I'm administrator on the terminal Citrix server, I have access to all of the processes, right and Becoming local system as administrators. This is far too easy just Install the program as a driver and run it run it as a driver and your local system So as a local system you have you can connect to all these processes what he does is he Locates a process of a user copy the credentials and Starts a reverse shell and With these credentials This means you get a shell with a credential of that that other user the Citrix or terminal server user And that means you can access His local hard drives. I will show you in the in the demonstration also It's a little bit hard to follow that demonstration because it's so many different things happening. They're like to to Citrix sessions and there are and there are this Reversal also sets its and local hard drives and stuff that's but I will try to speak very slow so if you have a connection to to If you are in the Citrix session, you can always map your local hard drives like this Or in terminal server you can always map your local hard drives like That the interesting thing is in terminal server you can also map the guys local Network drives you understand that he's on his client Lawn You can actually access so he's if he has administrator on his his his network connects to his TT terminal server that a Bad guy owns he can access all the the maps that he has access or has been his What he had mapped so Nice, so we'll now give you a demonstration. I'll break up from giving a my environment. Yeah Yeah, I Think your question was like you should have a good policies and and and I have a new execute Yeah Yeah, of course you you You should try to I will talk about protection later and and then what it says like you have to like Specify what a white list what you have what you have able to run the problem is running a white list. It's very hard It's it's some other guy. It's very hard to implement it. Have you done it? Did you succeed in I don't trust I don't believe it All the DLLs and stuff, you know the MSE and everything Five executables. Yeah, maybe maybe can be done No, it maybe can be done. I think it's very hard. I've never seen those one of those systems They're trying they will try because I will talk about them in honor of the protection stuff and Then I Will upload files gain system. I will run Citrix math T as inject and I will access Local hard drives. I will not using this over the network stuff. It will be too complicated so Now we'll we'll look at this right side. We have this is now the attacker This will later be the victim, but right now it is the attacker and Where I left off last time Is was it was breaking out from the given environment? So I will start there so I have this adobe thing and It's a published application. So yes starts it and it takes a while and it's anonymous Get access. I don't actually know what you should what are you what are you using the system for with just five executables? You probably should use the VPN to So so this is there's no desktop area. No, it's an adobe reader So what you do is of course to break out from given a my environment the easiest way is just choose open and then right-click on something and Choose explore Have you seen this before? Yeah, there was other speech about the running Explorer from from from a vulnerability The VNC stuff there are here's the desktop. It was just hidden. So So now I'm I'm anonymous I'm anonymous here. I will change the phone for you. I think this one will be alright You can see this so I'm the attacker It's this computer, but what you see here is a secret session so this is So this is the the terminal service a Citrix server is into right now and I will now Try to upload files are lots of different ways to do it, of course But I will just show them the copy with a keyboard program So you change to a directory That you are able to write in maybe quarantine director or something from an antivirus program or something and in this in this Window I start Something that could read my key strokes. So I copy Come to the bar or something. Okay? So this is this is the Key stroke listener right now. So we change This red thing here It's a tacker window now So on the local I'm The background is a Citrix session and the foreground is on the my computer here and I have it and I have So this program will take a file as input and It will Just type it for me, but you have to it's very hard to type binaries So you have to like convert it or something transform it. I have chosen a program here called Reg Edit 32.ex1 It's because the bug that will transform the script can't handle exe so It is the normal register Thing stuff here going on, but but I just renamed it and then I run Copy the keyboard choosing the file and I choose a delay of one and It's not Windows window. It's a dots window and I should transform it to a to a script the bug script What this program does now? It's an emirate all the windows with names And I'll have to now to choose which window I will start typing in and I choose window 52 for example 52 It brings up it up to the front and start typing for me It takes It's not that fast now, but it's no flu control You can try very small values, but It may be messed up and if you're sitting with a large program waiting for an hour, you don't want like one Something to be missed here. What it actually does is it's an Assembly it's just the problem with them with the debug dot exe. It can just can handle 64k programs So what I'm doing in is it's running a Thing that that moves the data segment pointer one and writes the next 16 bytes room over then jumps around So it's you can play with it at home. I will This will take about two or three minutes In the meantime, I will show you another script. I've written that Well, it's the easy the easiest most easiest easiest way to get Local system on the local server and I will do that on on on this side left side So I'm now running this this can move on for a bit and I will Here it is And the windows keys, you know, like you have to like doing stuff like this so I'm Logging as a loser and here at the at the server it's a windows 2003 server and then I Will I want to gain system rights here and I've written a small skeleton That just enumerates all the windows Even the hidden one and sends F1 to them. It's like the util man exploit for Yes, so much exploits right now, so So what it does it just Sends F1 you can change it to alt space or something if you like it's just a skeleton program So you can change it to alt space and have this Util man exploit for that instead and then just press enter and you just continue to something happens like a help or something from a Program that runs as a system starts. I will not do this. It takes too much time. It's too many windows But I have also a program that sends F1 directly to a window instead. Oh Peace anywhere. I know that one is vulnerable, but I will not use that actually I will Find another known vulnerability. Yeah, here's Broadcom Cystray windows application. I can't see it in the Cystray either, but yeah, the service is running I'm I'm at a demo So I will send F1 to this Window 55 Enter 55 Windows help you can't find the help point you want to find it yourself. Yeah, I know I remember It's called something like CM something There it is open whole and I Perfect Yeah, that's fun. Oh, I reinstall it now. Maybe I use and do it later So well, the file is now finished uploading here to the right and then I will control that it and Right Food of bar and it's and as you can see it's Eating something I think So This is a normal debug script file. It's named the file It has some assembly in it that just moves the data segment and stores it and Then it just starts uploading this data. It probably could you don't have to have like zero zero Yes, it needs one zero, but For demonstration purposes so How to get the The file again I have I Was uploading reg add One dot ex one so I run the bug Other direction and Foo dot bar and the bug runs this the bug script for me and I will now have the file here. I guess. Yeah, there it is, right and I now have now uploaded a binder with a keyboard Now to the fun stuff This is C-tricks Session still going on here. This is now the victim. This is now the victim nothing will happen over here at the The right side everything will happen over on this monitor But I will keep this running just to show you that this is the client and and try to understand that That the attackers here now and I will do a few steps ahead and I will Log in the disc this client is has logged now logged in with a C-tricks session To the C-tricks server and I will now the attacker now will also log in to the C-tricks server as administrator Usually you can't do this of course, but I will just for the demo for purposes Just show you that if you are an administrator on The terminal server you can do that stuff so We'll change this directly to hack tall C-tricks snap so this is a tall Patrick Patrick wrote. It's then shows Then the disc that's already mapped. I will remove them Just to be clear what's happening here So and I don't have any map locally mapped drives right now so I Click here and it Enumerates all the C-tricks client connected to the C-tricks server and I will choose victim and now it's enumerates all the hard drives this victim has and I choose one one here see and I map it Yeah, was the one one one API call so it's definitely not that hard and Then you can close this one and I can go to be Drive Understand this is the attacker running from this computer to a C-tricks server the same C-tricks server that's this loser is it's on and And I have like all the access I needed on this hard drive Exactly same hard drive as the victim So it's it's then it's very easily done. So If you're running and like an ASP or something You should be like be worried or or if you are like like using an ASP Maybe you should be worried to Yeah So that was fun So I don't have to exit that one So the last demonstration is More advanced stuff. I will log off here. I will Start a net cat listener. This is on this this this is still an attacker I'm starting a net cat listener. I want a wing we're waiting for a remote shell and then I start Terminal server or something please connect me and of course I'm cheating. I will log in as administrator directly and So this is a terminal server Session on the C-tricks server C-tricks and terminal servers is the same server that this session is on The best way to learn this stuff is play by playing With them with yourself, you know, like you have to run it to understand it if this goes too fast and everything So this program tears in yanked it it doesn't need to have be like terminal services, but Wait a second what you What you need is an process ID Because you will copy the the credentials from that that process ID So we will find them find a process ID here This is a very small font now. I know that I Sort it on sessions ID. It's just task manager. There's nothing fancy about it and Here is an on he's from session two I can start something here that you can see And come on prompt example. Oh, it was that example, but I'll take him So here's the the program come on prompt running on that. I Would Well, of course, I do reader. That was I started from beginning. So here's acrobat reader. It doesn't matter. Yes, sir show show you and this has process ID 3000 for okay, I have to remember that remember that So I'm running this TS in yanked and I want to copy three thousand four credentials. I will send it to To my client then the netcast listener on my client you can send it to to To the terminal server or whatever you want, you know Yes, Patrick just wanted to remove to back to our innocent And the port 666 so it will start start reversal with With the sessions with the credentials of the process and send it to this computer. Oh Please please please please Yeah, here it is Yeah And now I can use net use It's a secret session, so I will use client the star of course so Zed And yeah, yeah understand so it's a hard hard. Yeah It's hard to understand what's happening here because it's it's it's two sessions going on and then there's the Remove shell involved to the client, but just try it once and you will understand what's going on here It's so easy well Now we'll now talk about Talk about protection so If you disable 16-bit application support Perfect. It disables net send programs. It disables the bug dot exe It disables lots of Weird stuff that shouldn't be going on. You have to do Traffic filtering of course restrict access to executables and General read write execute writes and that means like where people are allowed to to Save stuff that shouldn't have execute Rights that is very very important and where they have execute rights. It shouldn't have be able to read Right, I mean and active directory stuff. You can do a lot with it Use it use it. You can make this signature on on like all the binaries that should be allowed to run it's perfect and this Secure exit program now called sanctuary They have a live demo on the internet you can try Like it a lot and then my friend My friends have this site se 46 that do stuff. I don't know but I was told to to have it in a presentation and It do something about Closing the environment and There's this fully qualified path problem. I don't know how to solve it You have to like write good binaries or something proofs as isolation Validate access to critical up a API and there is a tool from a guy called Jürgen He's the one and guys who runs tool crypt And he showed me this program API guard and it's so Cool and You have to check it out. It's a user land thing that Lots of lots of stuff can't be done when you're using this program on your system because you're not allowed to to call a call Something or jump to something that is not from the process I will not talk about this if you have any questions Just look at the tool and read about it API guard, but he has now working on a other more even more cool cooler stuff It's called Colonel Colonel guard and It will be released in this autumn in Finland and If you're interesting in protection, you should really have a good look at this program It will be open. I don't think it will open source, but it will be free at this the end is it It's oh god. It's so much. You know, it's it's just I know You find everything a time you look and I Write here still no buffer overflows well We may be see some patches in the future I have thanked my mom and my researcher Patrick calls them from secure is fabulous guy and The Keeper of the keepers it's a year again from tool crypt and Jonas Lindin who makes the demonstration possible and my friend a good man or him as the base defender and That's the speech. I hope you enjoyed it. Have a good time and see you


After the fourth inning, we will be heading to go put on the sausage costumes. We will be running in the sausage race. Trevor will be chorizo. It is a relay. It is a relay. There's going to be kids. We are passing it on to... Our fate will be in the kids' hands.  I'm banking on my kid. My kid is my anchor. We've heard a lot about strategy of running in these costumes and every employee that we've talked to has given us tips and tricks. I guess there's going to be a lot of wind resistance. That's why it's so top-heavy. I don't know. When the Brewers told us that we could run in the sausage race, they said, but it's a very serious thing. We run a competitive race and said, no Tom Foolery. We have to just run as straight and fast as we can. Trev, get in here. Here he is. Ladies and gentlemen. Soft trap. Oh. That's not good. It's family programming. Wow. Now we can't post it. Is he not coming in? He's gone. All right. BBD, are you excited for the sausage race? Oh. Hey, guys. We're inside the sausage costume. We're inside the sausage. Here, look. There's Jake. Let's go. There's Jake.  That's BBD. That's Jack. Trev. Trev is soft. And he's getting out. Watch. Here's the outside view.  What's up? What's up? Up the nose. Shot. I mean, this is for my country. This is for my people. I feel so comfortable. I can't tell you how comfortable I feel right now.  Feels like I've been living in this my whole life. And today's the first day of the rest of my life. I just don't want to come in a distant fourth or fifth. I just want to be part of the pack, Robbie. That's all. I get told this is the toughest one to win in. Trev so sucks, right?  I wish, like, I embraced that challenge, obviously. I'd take 50% chance to win. Genuine. Depends on my little kid. I'm hoping they're faster than Usain Bolt. I don't normally get religious, but...  Let's have a hell of a race. Yeah. Guys, I farted in my suit. All right, fans. Time now for the Johnsonville famous racing sausage race. Ten year mark. Get set. Go.   And at the wire, it's the mini hot dog. Congratulations to the Johnsonville hot dog winner of the Johnsonville Sausage Race.  I felt good. I felt real good. No. No. What a race. I'm not going to be able to walk for a while.  Did you guys not see how much I fell? Oh, I saw it. It was right next to me. I mean, I caught Trevor in the homestretch. Catch that. Show that.  Trev was gone. Trev was five steps before they said start. I'm taking a W. Good luck, little sausages. Trev, why do you cheat so bad? It's a bad cheat. I did not cheat. You're not going to like the replay. Five steps. Five steps. Oh, my God. So bad. My hamster hurts. You got ice. Woo. Congrats. Whoa, quick break we got to take before we go down the slide. Thanks for watching and thanks for sending us there. Manscaped. They got the lawnmower 4.0. It's so smooth and good. I shaved Jake's entire body yesterday. To get more speed down the slide completely shaved. And he liked it so much I did it again. So I've been shaving every day with Manscaped. Pure baby doll down there right now. As quick as I can be on the slide. Thank you, Manscaped. What's the code? Road trip. Road trip. One of your top 100 movies. Probably not. You don't think so? But someone that works for Manscaped loves the movie Road Trip. I have it 200. Top 200 for you. No doubt. Top 200 movie I might accept that. They are the best. Oh, the slide's getting bumpy. The slide's getting bumpy. My arms are getting tired. I'll turn. Whoa. Manscaped. Road trip. Thank you, Manscaped. Turned. Jamaican Bobsled team. We got to do this bucket list event because of them. So go get yours. Road trip. One more 4.0. Road trip. Manscaped. Climbing up the stairs. Get to the slide now. They say it's fast. That's kind of scary looking right there, Robbie. That view right there has to be pretty scary. The stairs got steeper, too. Not going to lie. I'm assuming they wouldn't let me do this if I was going to fall off the side of the slide. Yeah, I've been looking down. Look down. I'm looking down. Look down. I'm looking down. Oh. No, that's all right.  You signed away. You signed away. Damn it. I don't really like it. I don't like that at all. Oh. You guys okay with this? Kick the wall inside. This is like, this is sounding dangerous. You're going to slide into a wall. Turn your shoulder in for impact. Every time you go down, you'll be gross. We are up top in Milwaukee. We're at Bernie Brewer's house. Here we go. Airport. Airport. And just turn. Oh. Oh. Oh. Rolled out of it. We're down. We landed on the moon. It's rubbing on there. That's going to hurt. It's all up here.


Hi everyone, my name is Subib Bhart Roy, I am from Assam, Guwahati, so I actually work in Bangalore. So this incident took place last Saturday while I was cleaning my bikes chain, I was trying to loop the chain, which I generally do. So generally we do it in running condition, so there was a lot of dirt which I was trying to take it off through a brush, but I couldn't do it, so I used a cloth which got trapped in the rear chain sprocket, which caught my hand and imputed my fingers. So I was rushed to the nearby hospital, but the assurance was not enough, so we were recommended Manipal Hospital by a relative. Dr. Dinkar and Dr. Rashok attended us. Whenever we have this finger amputation, time is of essence, we need to put back these fingers as quickly as possible, so reaching a good hospital where these facilities are done is of paramount importance. Both the doctors assured that it can be fixed, it required OT operation to be done on the fingers. So we went for the operation and the operation lasted for around 9 hours. In this case the patient reached our hospital within half an hour of the injury and they brought the part in the plastic bag in an ice box, so which helped us to put back the part. As soon as the patient reached, we got him to be fit for anesthesia. In the meantime, the part was taken into the theatre and prepared for replantation. Each and every structure in the finger was repaired starting from the bone, the tendons, the nose and the arteries and the veins and finally the skin was put back. This is regarding the re-implantation for the crushed fingers, specially after the motorbike accidents. Half late we have been seeing lot of these freak accidents in which the chain sprocket injuries to the fingertips are very common. There are two aspects, one is the injured patient, the other one is the injured part. Normally what happens during these place of injury, the injured parts that means the amputated parts or even the crushed parts, maybe it would have fallen on the ground or it would have got severely contaminated with grease or even with mud etc. So all we have to do is we have to just gently swipe and clean it off all the dust particles visible contamination with a saline gauze and keep it in a clean plastic cover, seal it perfectly and then put the entire amputated parts into the ice box. We have seen almost five to six such injuries which happened where the patient's hand gets caught in the chain when he is trying to clean the chain and this can result in damaging the hand very badly. In some cases it can even cause total amputation of the fingers, maybe one, two, three, four or five digits also if since the blood circulation is stopped to those fingers unless we put it back in time, there is no hope of getting those fingers back. Ideal time for a finger to be re-implanted is within the first six hours of the injury. However, we can extend it a bit as long as there is something called as cold ischemia if the finger is well preserved we may extend it a bit. The sooner the patient is brought to the hospital we are able to take care of it better.


Various numbering systems use symbols to refer to a number of items. Our common decimal system uses 10 numeric symbols, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, sometimes called the base 10 system. We use this system to write numbers and perform mathematical operations. The position of a digit in the base 10 system determines its magnitude. This is referred to as place value. Moving from right to left, we multiply each preceding digit position by 10. Therefore, starting from the right, the first digit position is 1. The second digit position is 10 times the first or 10. The third digit position is 10 times the second or 100, and so on. The magnitude of the numbers 6, 9, and 4 is determined by the position of the digits. With the 6 in the third position, we would multiply 6 by 100 to derive its place value of 600, then add to it 9 times 10 or 90, and to that 4 times 1 to get 694. The binary system also uses place value to determine the magnitude of a number, but uses only 0 and 1 as numeric symbols. Thus, it is referred to as the base 2 system with each position incremented by a multiple of 2. Digital systems use the base 2 system for computational operations in many of its applications. Now, let's consider place value in the base 2 system. Starting at the right, we have 2 to the zero power, then 2 to the first power, then 2 to the second power, and so on. Thus, each multiplier to the left is 2 times the preceding number. Thus, starting with position 1, we have 2 to the zero power or 1, position 2 is 2 to the first power or 2, position 3 is 2 to the second power or 4, and so on. When you work with digital equipment, converting between the binary and decimal numbering systems is often required. Let's take the binary number 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, and convert it to a decimal number equivalent. We will add together all the decimal number place values converted from a binary string. Thus, moving from right to left, we encounter a 1. Multiply it by its binary place value of 1 to give 1. Considering the next position to the left, we have a zero. No decimal numbers are derived when zeros are encountered because zero times its multiplier is zero. The next binary number is 1. 1 times 4 is 4, so we include its place value of 4. We do this conversion for each place value of the binary number. Thus, adding up all the decimal numbers gives 53. Now, let's apply a process for converting a decimal number to its binary equivalent. This method involves repeated divisions by 2. Taking the base 10, number 37, and dividing by 2, we get a quotient of 18 with a remainder of 1. This remainder occupies the first position. Next, you'll divide 18 by 2 to get the next digit. It will be 9 with a remainder of 0, so 0 will occupy the second position. Moving along, the third position will be determined by dividing 9 by 2. This will give you 4 with a remainder of 1 to occupy the third position. Applying this divide by 2 process to each new calculated quotient derives the remainders that become the zeros or ones used to create the binary string. Continuing until the quotient is 0 and can no longer be divided by 2 completes the conversion process and you have your binary number.
