7MS #478: Password Cracking in the Cloud - Part 4

2021/07/29

Hey friends, today we're continuing our discussion of password cracking by sharing some methodology that has helped us get a high cred yield, and some tips on taking cracked passwords from multiple sources and Frankensteining them into a beautiful report for your customer. For some background, when 7MS started as a biz, we used to crack passwords in Paperspace but invested in an on-prem cracking rig a few years ago. That rig has been flipping sweet, but had some heating issues which prompted me to

Today we're talking about Cobalt Strike for newbs - including how to get it up and running, as well as some tools that will help you generate beacons while evading EDR at the same time! Some helpful things mentioned in today's episode: Wherever you spin up your CS instance, it's probably a good idea to lock down the firewall to only specific IPs. With Digital Ocean, I found this article helpful. When generating CS listeners, the C2Concealer from FortyNorth helped me get malleable C2 profiles

7MS #474: Password Cracking in the Cloud - Part 3

2021/06/30

Hey friends! Today we're dusting off an old mini-series about password cracking in the cloud (check out part 1 and part 2) and sharing some awesome info on building a monster of a cracking rig in AWS! One reason we haven't talked about password cracking in the cloud in a while is because back in winter of 2019 I built baby's first password cracking. Unfortunately, this week, Hashy (the name I gave to the rig) is overheating, and GPUs are impossible to find, so what's a pentester to do? Well, in

Gh0sthax) and I to talk about all things ransomware, including: How the Colonial Pipeline incident may have started from a weak VPN cred with no MFA. Silver lining (?) - they got some of the $ back.

Hey everybody, happy June! Our pal Joe is back to cover some great security stories with us, including: Peloton's leaky API Some Colonial Pipeline discussion (story 1, story 2) Amazon Sidewalk doesn't really share your Internet connection with neighbors/strangers. The Hacker News article doesn't do an awesome job of clearing that up either.

Today we're doing something new - a first impressions episode of Meraki networking gear. Note: this is not a sponsored episode, but rather a follow up to episode #460 where I talked about throwing all my UniFi gear into the ocean and replacing it with Meraki gear. At the end of that episode I asked if anybody was interested in a "first impressions" of the gear, and it turns out (at least 6) people are interested, so here we are!

Hey friends!

It also leverages the crowd power to generate a global IP reputation database to protect the user network." I came into this interview not knowing much at all about CrowdSec, so I peppered Philippe with questions such as: What is CrowdSec? What problem does it solve? Who are your

Hey everybody! I stayed in a hotel for the first time in over a year and boy oh boy...I hope I didn't get COVID from the bedsheets! Anyhow, on that journey I thought of some things that I think will help your business on the marketing/project management/sales side to be more successful and less annoying. DISCLAIMER: I have no formal training in these areas, but I've been on both sides of the table for a number of years, and I think I'm getting a better idea of what clients do and don't like during

Welp, I need another security certification like I needed a bunch to the retinas, but even after all the fun (and pain) of CRTP I couldn't help but sign up for the maiden voyage of Attacking and Defending Azure AD Cloud - a.k.a. CARTP. This cert comes to us from our friends over at Pentester Academy, and is all about pwning things in Azure AD which is mostly new ground for me.

In the last two episodes of this series (#449 and #450) we've been diving into how to not only speed up the process of spinning up a DIY pentest dropbox, but how to automate nearly the entire build process! In today's episode we talk specifically about how to streamline the Windows 10 build process.

2021/04/07

Today we talk through our first engagement using Hak5 Key Croc to steal and exfil data. In the past, my internal monologue when a new Hak5 toy is released sounds like this: "I certainly don't need another Hak5 doo-dad! The last one didn't ever work that great, and ended up in a drawer full of past Hak5 doo-dads that didn't work that great." "Whaaaaat? A new cool and hip video for the INSERT_CATCHY_HAK5_TOOL_NAME is out? Pffft. I don't need that." 5 seconds go by... "Well it's just $100,

2021/03/31

OK I probably say this every time, but I'm gonna say it again: this tale of pwnage is my one of my favs - and not because of the tools/tradecraft, but because of why the company needed our help in the first place. I think I'd file this under the category of "rescue and recovery mission" more than a pentest, but it was a total blast. I also cover a few tangents, including how COVID shot #2 gave me nightmares about leprechauns and indirectly caused me to de-pants in front of a large Webinar
