7MS #514: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 34

7 Minute Security ·

2022/03/30

Welcome to another fun tale of pentest pwnage! This one isn't a telling of one single pentest, but a collection of helpful tips and tricks I've been using on a bunch of different tests lately. These tips include: I'm seeing nmap scans get flagged a bit more from managed SOC services. Maybe a "quieter" nmap scan will help get enough ports to do a WitnessMe run, but still fly under the logging/alerting radar? Something like: nmap -p80,443,8000,8080 subnet.i.wanna.scan/24 -oA outputfile

2022/03/17

Today I'm sharing some first impressions of the Rapid 7 InsightIDR as kind of a teaser for an eventual new chapter in our Desperately Seeking a Super SIEM for SMBs series. Disclaimer: remember these are first impressions. There may be some missed detections I talk about today that are a me problem and not the technology. I hope to get to the root of those unresolved issues by the time I talk more formally about InsightIDR in a future episode. Enjoy!

2022/02/18

Hey friends! We have another fun test of pentest pwnage to share with you today, which is kind of tossed in a blender with some first impressions of ShellcodePack. We were on a bunch of pentests recently where we needed to dump credentials out of memory. We usually skim this article and other dumping techniques, but this time nothing seemed to work. After some discussion with colleagues, we were pointed to nanodump, which I believe is intended for use with Cobalt Strike, but you can compile

2022/02/09

Today's featured interview is with Matthew Warner, CTO and co-founder of Blumira. We had a great chat about why out-of-the-box Windows logging isn't super awesome, "free" ways to get logging turned up to 11 (Microsoft's audit policy recommendations, sysmon, sysmon modular), as well as how to get better logging in hard-to-reach places like Kerberos. Be sure to also check out Blumira's resources on detecting Kerberoasting and simplifying Windows log collection and ongoing management with Poshim. And

Today's my favorite tale of pentest pwnage (again)! This time we're talking about sAMAccountName spoofing specifically. We also talk about my always-under-construction list of things I try early in a pentest for maximum pwnage: Run PingCastle Do the SharpHound/BloodHound dumps Run the DHCP poisoning module of Responder Check the ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota value in the domain - if its at the default (10), then any user can add machines to the domain.

7MS #503: First Impressions of Brute Ratel

2022/01/12

Today's episode is all about Brute Ratel, a command and control center that is super cool, quick to setup, and much easier to use (IMHO) than Cobalt Strike. I also talk specifically about some of my favorite command line features, how slick and simple lateral movement is, and the "killer feature" that makes me giggle like the bad guy from Sonic the Hedgehog. In the tangent department, Mrs. 7MS makes an appearance via phone and I bore you to tears about my continued iFly addiction.

It has been a fun and frustrating process, but my hope is that some of the tips in today's episode will save you some time/headaches/money should you setup a pentesting training camp in the cloud.
