7MS #723: CARTP - Cloud Red Team Tactics for...

7 Minute Security ·

2026/05/23

Hello friends! Today's a hybrid episode — some security content up top about a new certification I've kicked off, followed by an aggressively quick trip to Tangent Town. Feel free to bail after the security stuff if tangents aren't your thing! The security part: starting CARTP I've started the Certified Azure Red Team Professional course from Altered Security (enterprisesecurity.io). It's the Azure follow-up to CRTP, which I took a few years back. Quick notes: Why now: Active Directory and

7MS #722: I Turned My Phone Into a Brick

7 Minute Security ·

2026/05/15

Hey friends! Quasi-vacation week over here, so today's episode is lighter and more personal: just a story about how I turned my phone into a "brick" (kind of) and what that's done for my mental health over the past week. The product is called Brick (getbrick.com). Not sponsored, no discount code — just something I've genuinely been enjoying. It's a $50 NFC dongle + app that lets you "brick" your time-waster apps until you physically tap the brick again. Here's what stood out: The physical

Hello friends! Picking up the AI-automation series from a couple weeks back — here's another batch of scripts and integrations that have been giving me precious minutes (and sanity) back. Yes, I had to upgrade to Claude Max. No, I'm not trying to automate myself out of a job — just freeing up bandwidth for the more interesting parts of work/life. QuickBooks invoice automation: Got tired of the eight-factor login plus click-fest just to send a few invoices. Now I run a PowerShell menu — type the

7MS #720: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 84

2026/05/01

Hey friends! Today's another Tales of Pentest Pwnage! Quick tangent first on a couple side projects: I've got a music thing at quack.house (like the duck noise, not the drug) and a podcast with my dancer son Atticus at DadOfADancer.com. Speaking of Atticus — he just landed a spot in Master Ballet Academy's summer program in Phoenix, and I am a very proud dance dad over here. OK, on to the pentest: A weird runas quirk: If your AD test account password ends in a percent sign, runas seems to misbehave

7MS #719: Baby's First OpenClaw

2026/04/24

Hey friends! This week's episode is "Baby's First OpenClaw" – basically me shouting into the void hoping a smart listener will DM me and explain why this thing is supposed to be life-changing. Because right now? I'm a little underwhelmed. Here's the journey so far: The Mac mini quest: After seeing OpenClaw all over my feeds (people curing diseases! solving crimes!), I caved and impulse-bought a Mac mini. They were sold out everywhere, so I ended up paying twice what I wanted. Ick. Surprise

Hey friends! After last week's heavy episode about my wife's health scare in Punta Cana, today's is a lighter one. (Quick update: she's doing better – still recovering, but appetite's back and she's got some pep again. Thanks so much to everyone who sent kind messages.) Today I'm gushing about how AI has been making my IT and security life way more efficient: Firewall migration: Had AI walk me through a WatchGuard T15W → T25W migration (no clean config export path).

7MS #717: I Gave Up My Wife's PHI (And I'd Do It Again)

7 Minute Security ·

2026/04/10

Hello friends! Today's episode is a bit of a detour from our usual content — it's part vacation horror story, part security/privacy confession. My wife got seriously ill during our spring break trip to Punta Cana, and in the chaos of navigating a foreign hospital at 2 a.m. with zero sleep and a pile of Spanish medical documents, I threw every privacy best practice I've ever preached straight into the ocean. Here's what we cover: How a dream all-inclusive resort trip turned into an ambulance ride

Today is my favorite pentest pwnage tale of 2026 – and maybe ever! It centers around an ADCS abuse via an attack path I'd never seen before. Tips include: Use Netexec to pull Powershell history Trying to steal reg hives and the EDR is made?

Hola friends! Today's another fun tale of pentest pwnage. This time we started with no credentials and then set off on the bumpy journey from no-cred zero to domain admin hero! One specific reference in today's podcast that may be helpful to you is setting up ntlmrelayx to listen on port 3128.

2026/03/20

Hello friends! We're back with a fun tale of internal network pentest pwnage. This one highlights how AI can be used (with some guardrails!) to automate the boring stuff – and even help you pick part DLLs to find gold nuggets! P.S. – I do recommend you check out our last three episodes that are all about securing your community, and please check out this Rolling Stone article which will give you a full picture of what has been going on in Minnesota as it relates to the occupation of ICE

Hello friends, in today's edition of How to Secure Your Community, I give a brief recap of part 1 and part 2, and then dive into some cool phone shortcuts you can setup so that with a single tap, you can alert friends/family that you're having an encounter with law enforcement and may need an assist. Here's the things/links discussed: This great Rolling Stone article which features interviews and first-hand stories of ICE encounters here in Minnesota Fashlight.org page on security and privacy,

Hello friends. Today's episode piggybacks off of last week's discussion of Operation Metro Surge and how it has affected the state of Minnesota. I also highly encourage you to read this Rolling Stone article which features interviews and first-hand stories of ICE encounters. And for those of you asking for a good org to support here in Minnesota, please support Haven Watch. They give rides/food to people who are detained by ICE and then cut loose – often without their jackets or phones – into

2026/02/27

Hello friends, it's good to be back with you. I took a podcast hiatus in January to focus on helping communities affected by Operation Metro Surge. Today I share how my family and community has been affected by it. And then in future episodes of this series, I'll get more into some technical nuts and bolts on how to be a more secure community helper – such as tightening up security settings on apps you use, "hardening" your phone, increasing your personal security/privacy posture, and more.

2026/01/17

Hi friends, I'm going to be taking a break from producing podcast episodes, as well as content over at 7MinSec.club. It's a temporary break, so please don't unsubscribe, unfollow, etc. I need some extra time/energy to invest in helping our friends/family/neighbors/communities in the Twin Cities. Important note: our professional services are not impacted by this. If you have security projects going on with us now (or want to in the future), nothing has changed there. It's business as usual

2026/01/10

Hey friends, in episode #649 I gave you my first impressions of Twingate. It's been a minute, so I thought I'd revisit Twingate (specifically this awesome Twingate LXC) and talk about how we're using it to (almost) entirely replace remote access to our datacenter servers and pentest dropboxes. Also, don't forget: Our pentest class is coming up at the end of the month – more info here. We do a Tuesday TOOLSday video every Tuesday over at 7MinSec Club.

2026/01/02

After sharing a recent story about how a phishing campaign went south, I heard feedback from a lot of you. You either commiserated with my story, told me I wussed out, and/or had a difficult story of your own to share. So I thought I'd keep this momentum up and share another story of fail with you – this time about a Web app pentest that went south.

7MS #705: A Phishing Campaign Fail Tale

2025/12/12

This might be obvious, but security is not all domain admin dancing and maximum pwnage. Sometimes, despite my best efforts, a security project does a faceplant. Today's episode focuses on a phishing campaign that had plenty of "bites" but got immediately shut down – for reasons I still don't understand.

7MS #704: DIY Pentest Dropbox Tips – Part 12

2025/12/05

Hola friends! My week has very much been about trying to turnaround pentest dropboxes as quickly as possible. In that adventure, I came across two time-saving discoveries: Using a Proxmox LXC as a persistent remote access method Writing a Proxmox post-deployment script that installs Splashtop on the Windows VM, and resets the admin passwords on both VMs, all from the Proxmox SSH console without touching the console on either VM If you feel some of this is better seen than said, on this
