2022/09/23

Today we revisit a series we haven’t touched in a long time all about eating the security dog food. TLDL about this series is I often find myself preaching security best practices, but don’t always follow them as a consultancy. So today we talk about: How the internal 7MS infosec policy development is coming along Why I’m no longer going to be “product agnostic” going forward Some first impressions of a new tool I’m trying called ITGlue (not a sponsor) How to start building a critical asset list -

2022/09/16

Hey friends! Today we're giving you a first impressions episode all about Airlock Digital, an application allowlisting solution. They were kind enough to let us play with it in our lab with the intention of exploring its bells and whistles, so we're excited to report back our findings in podcast form. TLDL: we really like this solution! It is easy to deploy (see this YouTube video for a quick walkthrough). Once I had it going in the lab, I tried administering it without reading any of the

7MS #537: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 42

2022/09/09

In today's episode we share some tips we've picked up in the last few weeks of pentesting, with hopes it will save you from at least a few rounds of smashing your face into the keyboard. Tips include: If you find yourself with "owns" rights to a bajillion hosts in BloodHound, this query will give you a nice list of those systems, one system per line: cat export-from-bloodhound.json | jq '.nodes[].label' | tr -d '"' Then you can scan with nmap to find the "live" hosts: nmap -sn -iL targets.txt

7MS #535: Rage Against the Remediation

Today's episode covers three remediation-focused topics that kind of grind my gears and/or get me frustrated with myself. I'm curious for your thoughts on these, so reach out via Slack or Twitter and maybe we'll do a future live stream on this topic. How do you get clients to actually care when we explain the threats on their network that are a literal 10/10 on the CVSS scale? Password policies - they're not just as easy as "Have a password of X length with Y complexity." Fixing the various

Hey friends, wow...we're up to thirty-nine episodes of pwnage? Should we make a cake when we hit the big 4-0?! Anyway, today's TLDL is this: If you get a nagging suspicion about something you find during enumeration, make sure to either come back to it later, or exhaust the path right away so you don't miss something! Because I did :-/ A tip that's been helping me speed along my use of CrackMapExec and other tools is by using Kerberos authentication. You can grab a ticket for your test AD account by

2022/08/01

Today we're joined by some of our friends at Arctic Wolf - Eugene Grant and Christopher Fielder - to talk about compliance. Now hold on - don't leave yet! I know for many folks, compliance makes them want to bleach their eyeballs. But compliance is super important - especially because it is not the same as being secure. So we discuss the differences between security and compliance, and practical work we can do to actually be more compliant and secure, including: Knowing what you have (assets,

Hey friends, we have another fun tale of pwnage for you today. I loved this one because I got to learn some new tools I hadn't used before, such as: Get-InternalSubnets.ps1 - for getting internal subnets Adalanche for grabbing Active Directory info (similar to SharpHound) This tool worked well for me with this syntax: adalanche-windows-x64-v2022.5.19.exe collect activedirectory --domain victim.domain --port=389 --tlsmode=NoTLS Copernic Desktop Search for pillaging through shares with

2022/07/08

In today's episode, I try to get us thinking about our extended family's emergency/DR plan. Why? Because I recently had a close family member suffer a health scare, and it brought to light some questions we didn't have all the answers for: Do we have creds to log onto his computer? How about his email accounts? Do we have usernames/passwords for retirement accounts, bank accounts, etc.? For vehicles/ATVs/boats/etc. - do we have documentation about their service records? How about titles? Can we get

Today's another fun tale of pentest pwnage - specifically focused on cracking a hash type I'd never paid much attention to before: cached domain credentials. I also learned that you can at least partially protect against this type of hash being captured by checking out this article, which has you set the following setting in GPO: Under Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options set Interactive logon: Number of previous logons to

Well friends, it has been a while since we talked about Microsoft's awesome Local Administrator Password Solution - specifically, the last time was way back in 2017! Lately I've been training some companies on how to install it by giving them a live walkthrough in our Light Pentest LITE lab, so I thought it would be a good time to write up a refreshed, down and dirty install guide.
