7MS #284: The Quest for Critical Security Controls

For a long time I've been electronically in love with the Critical Security Controls. Not familiar with 'em? The CIS site describes them as:

The CIS Controls are a prioritized set of actions that protect your critical systems and data from the most pervasive cyber attacks. They embody the critical first steps in securing the integrity, mission, and reputation of your organization.

Cool, right? Yeah. And here are the top (first) 5 that many organizations start to tackle:

  1. Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Devices
  2. Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Software
  3. Secure Configurations for Hardware and Software
  4. Continuous Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation
  5. Controlled Use of Administrative Privileges

Google searches will show you that you can definitely buy expensive hardware/software to help you map to the CSCs, but I'm passionate about helping small businesses (and even home networks!) be more secure, so I'm on a quest to find implementable (if that's a word?) ways to put these controls in place.

I'm focusing on control #1 to start, and I've heard great things about using Fingbox (not a sponsor) to get the job done, but I'm also exploring other free options, such as nmap + some scripting magic.

7MS #255: PwnPro 101

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...

7MS #254: Bash Bunny

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 great ideas.
