7MS #261: Blind Network Security Assessments

7 Minute Security ·

2017/06/07

This week I had the fun opportunity to do a "blind" network security assessment - where basically we had to step into a network we'd never seen before and make some security posture recommendations. I've found that the following software/hardware is quite helpful for this type of assessment: The PwnPulse helps a ton in scanning wired and wireless networks...and even Bluetooth! I've covered the Pulse in past episodes - check out part 1 and part 2. Network Detective will do a ton of helpful Active

7MS #260: PwnPro 101 - Part 2

2017/06/02

I'm continuing to love the our PwnPro and had a chance to use it on a customer assessment this week. For the most part the setup/install was a breeze. Just had a few hiccups that the Pwnie support team straightened me out on right away. In the episode I mention some command line tools and syntax that helped me work with the Pulse. One was using fping to sweep large subnets and accurately find live hosts: fping -a -g 10.0.5.0/16 > blah.txt Then, to setup the reverse shell, I just forwarded port 22

7MS #259: OFF-TOPIC - Home Robbery Attribution

7 Minute Security ·

2017/05/25

Warning! Warning! This is an off-topic episode! I try really hard to create valuable weekly content about IT/security. However, sometimes a virtual grenade goes off in my life and prevents me from having the necessary time/resources to get my act together. This has been one of those weeks. :-) So today I'm going off-topic and talking about an alleged burglary of some electronics at my home. And once we identified the culprit, wow...nobody was more surprised than me.

7MS #258: Speaking at Secure360 - Part 2

2017/05/18

Intro I mentioned last week that I was speaking at the Secure360 conference here in the Twin Cities, and at that time I was preparing a talk called Pentesting 101: No Hoodie Required. I was so nervous that I've basically spent the last week breathing heavily into paper bags and wishing I was on sedatives. But I have good news to report in today's episode, friends! The talk was very well received and the attendees didn't get out torches and pitchforks! #winning! So today's episode (audio below) talks

7MS #256: AlienVault Certified System Engineer - Part 2

2017/05/04

So a few weeks ago I did an episode about the AlienVault Certified Security Engineer certification, and last Friday I took a stab at the test. I failed. It kicked my butt. Today I'm here to both rant about the unfairness of the test and offer you some study tips so you don't suffer a similar fate. P.S. - you should definitely check out this blog as it's one of the few valuable study guides I could find out there on the Interwebs.

7MS #255: PwnPro 101

2017/04/27

I'm kicking the tires on the PwnPro which is an all-in-one wired, wireless and Bluetooth assessment and pentesting tool. Upon getting plugged into a network, it peers with a cloud portal and lets you assess and pentest from the comfort of your jammies back at your house! Oh, and did I mention it runs Kali on the back end? Delicious. Today's episode dives into some of what I've been learning about the PwnPro as I run it through its paces at work and warm it up for our first customer assessment...

2017/04/20

I've been working with the Bash Bunny for the past few weeks in preparation for a presentation/demo I'm doing in a few weeks. Today I want to talk about what the Bunny is, the cool things it can do, and some of my favorite payloads. Also, I started thinking about what conversation topics spawn from a demo of the Bunny. Specifically, I want to know how people would defend against the Bunny using AD policies, peripheral controls, etc. Check out the Hak5 thread I started about this, as it has got some
