7MS #288: I'm BURPing a Lot

Sorry the podcast is late this week - but it's all for good reasons! I'm busy as a bee doing a ton of pentesting so I have a smattering of random security stuff to share with you:

Mac High Sierra root bug

Did you hear about this? Basically anybody could log in as user root on your system without a password because...there isn't a password! Read the Twitter thread where I originally read the news here, read about the root account madness here, and then read how the fix broke file sharing here.

BPATTY ROCKS!

I tried to wiki-fy my BPATTY project to make it a bit easier to read, so head to bpatty.rocks and let me know what you think!

I'm BURPing a lot

I can't tell you how fun it has been to get back in the pentesting saddle and hack some Web sites these past few weeks. Here are a few tips/tricks others taught me that have helped me get back in the swing of things:

  • In Burp, state files are being depreciated in favor of project files. Read more here

  • For BApp extensions, here are a few that help you get the job done:

    • retire.js looks for old/outdated/vulnerable Javascript libraries
    • Software vulnerability scanner helps you find vulnerable software, such as old versions of IIS
    • CO2 has a bunch of tricks up its sleeve - my favorite of which is helping you craft sqlmap commands with the right flags

More on today's show!

7MS #122: OFFTOPIC-An Apology to Elephants

7MS #122: OFFTOPIC-An Apology to Elephants

Preview76 wordsThis episode is about a documentary called An Apology to Elephants. It's all about the treatment (or mistreatment) of elephants, and the main message of the movie is, "Please don't go to the circus when it's in town, because you're supporting elephant abuse." Even if that message was a little heavy handed, I certainly will pass on tickets next time a circus act comes through town. You can subscribe to the 7 Minute Security podcast here.

7MS #121: Migrating from Tumblr to Ghost-Part 2

7MS #121: Migrating from Tumblr to Ghost-Part 2

Part 2 concludes my journey in moving 7ms.us from Tumblr to a Digital Ocean droplet running Ghost. Here are the key resources mentioned during the podcast: How to run multiple Ghost blogs on one DI VPS. The key takeaway here was that I had to upgrade to the $10 droplet (I did a "flexible" resize to add more proc/memory) and then the second instance of Ghost installed fine. Turning on CloudFlare SSL was easy. I chose flexible SSL since I wasn't using a "real" cert. I also wrote a rule to force HTTPs for all connections. And, just for grins, I turned on DNSSEC. Because...why not? :-) I picked a strong root password for my DI droplet, but I still don't like the idea of IPs banging on that connection all day and night. I followed this article on installing Fail2Ban to prevent my SSH login from being abused. There are a few IPs that I want to perma-ban, so I'm going to look throughthis article and this one which looks a tad easier. You can subscribe to the 7 Minute Security podcast here.

In this episode I talk about my adventures in moving my brianjohnson.tv Tumblr content over to a Digital Ocean hosted droplet running Ghost. I think you'll want to check this episode out, because in part 2 I talk about the challenges I faced in hosting multiple Ghost instances on one DI droplet. I will also be talking about how to enable CloudFlare SSL (for free!) as well as enabling Fail2Ban to keep annoying people/IPs from brute forcing your SSH root account!
