7 Minute Security ·

2022/02/23

Today we revisit our phishing series with a few important updates that help us run our campaigns more smoothly, such as creating a simple but effective fake O365 portal, and being aware that some email systems may "pre-click" malicious links before users ever actually do.

7MS #508: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 33

7 Minute Security ·

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

7MS #507: Interview with Matthew Warner of Blumira

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

2022/02/03

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. Why is the ability to add machines to the domain

7MS #503: First Impressions of Brute Ratel

7 Minute Security ·

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.

7MS #502: Building a Pentest Lab in Azure

2022/01/05

Happy new year friends! Today I share the good, bad, ugly, and BROKEN things I've come across while migrating our Light Pentest LITE training lab from on-prem VMware ESXi to Azure. 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. Things I like No longer relying on a single point of failure (Intel NUC, switch, ISP, etc.) You can schedule VMs to

2021/12/29

Today we're closing down 2021 with a tale of pentest pwnage - this time with a path to DA I had never had a chance to abuse before: Active Directory Certificate Services! For the full gory details on this attack path, see the Certified Pre-Owned paper from the SpecterOps crew. The TLDR/TLDL version of how I abused this path is as follows: Grab Certi Grab Certify Run Certify.exe find /vulnerable, and if you get some findings, review the Certified Pre-Owned paper and the Certify readme file for

Today we have some cool updates on this SIEM-focused series we've been doing for a while. Specifically, I want to share that one of these solutions can now detect three early (and important!) warning signs that bad things are happening in your environment: ASREPRoasting WDigest flag getting flipped (reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\WDigest /v UseLogonCredential /t REG_DWORD /d 1) Restricted admin mode getting enabled (reg add

Hey friends, today I'm giving you a peek behind the curtain of our Light Pentest LITE training to talk about the software/hardware we use to make it sing, the growing pains - and OMG(!) moments - that forced us to build in more infrastructure redundancy, and the cool (and expensive!) cloud options we're considering to offer a self-paced version of the course.

It's actually kind of three tales in one, focusing on pentesting wins using: Manual "open heart surgery" on the root of the Active Directory domain The new totally rad DHCP poisoning module of Responder An opportunity to abuse GPOs with SharpGPOAbuse (P.S. we talked about this tool about a year ago in episode 441)
