7MS #460: Why I'm Throwing My UniFi Gear Into the Ocean

7 Minute Security ·

2021/03/24

Hey friends! Warning: this is not a "typical" 7MS episode where we try hard to deliver some level of security value. Instead, today is a big, fat, crybaby, first-world problems whine-fest about how I used to love my UniFi gear for many years, but then a few weeks ago I hit unhealthy levels of rage while working with it...and subsequently completely ripped it all out of the wall and threw it in a plastic bin. Let me say it one more time: if you don't like rants of rage, skip this episode and we'll

Today we're super excited to share a featured interview with Tanya Janca of WeHackPurple! Tanya has been in software development from the moment she was of legal age to work in Canada - beginning by working with some huge companies (Nokia/Adobe) before falling in love with application security and eventually starting a company of her own.

Hi! This episode of pentest pwnage is a fun one because it was built for speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. Here's some of the things we're doing/running when time is of the essence: Get a cmd.exe spun up in the context of your AD user account: runas /netonly /user:samplecompany\billybob "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" Then get some important info in PowerView: Get-DomainUser -PreAuthNotRequired - find AD users with this flag set...then crack the hash for a (potentially) easy win!

2021/02/25

Hello friends! Today, Joe (Gh0sthax) and I complete our series on CRTP - Certified Red Team Professional - a really awesome pentesting training and exam based squarely on Microsoft tools and tradecraft. Specifically, Joe and I talk about: We don't think the training/exam is for beginners, despite how its advertised Both the lab PDF and PowerPoint have their own quirks - which may ultimately be teaching us not to be copy-and-paste jockeys, and instead build our own study guides and cheat sheets

Hey everybody! Sorry that we're late again with today's episode, but I got COVID shot #2 and it kicked my behind BIG TIME today. But I'm vertical today and back amongst the living and thrilled to be sharing with you another tale of pentest pwnage! Yeah! This might be my favorite tale yet because: I got to use some of my new CRTP skills! Make sure on your pentests that you're looking for "roastable" users.

Today's featured interview is with Marcello Salvati of Black Hills Information Security. Marcello is a.k.a. byt3bl33d3r, and known for his many contributions to the security community.

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a great week. Today Gh0sthax and I do a brain dump and recap of a cool (and mind-exploding) course we took last week called Enterprise Attacker Emulation and C2 Implant Development. In the tangent department, we also touch a bit on: The Fargo TV series Our upcoming interview with Marcello (a.k.a. byt3bl33d3r) from BHIS This Key and Peele sketch I just took my CRTP exam, which we've talked about a lot in the past 7MS is trying to up its pentest game by learning how

2021/01/22

Today we talk about a cool product called Deep Freeze, which, as its name implies, can "freeze" your computer in a known/good/frozen state. Then you can do whatever the flip you want to the machine (install icky things, tamper with C:\windows, pack your browser full of shady plugins, and more!), and then just reboot to restore! Note: this is not a sponsored episode, but will probably sound like one because I really dig this product and think you might too :-)

2020/12/30

Today, Gh0sthax and I talk about week 3/4 of the CRTP - Certified Red Team Professional training, and how it's kicking our butts a bit. Key points include: We agree this is not a certification for folks who are new to pentesting Don't expect to be following along "live" with the instructor during the training sessions You'll need to do a flippin' ton of studying and practicing on your own in between the live sessions As you follow along with the lab exercises, some things won't work - and
