7MS #303: Evaluating Endpoint Protection Solutions

I'm working on a fun project right now where I'm evaluating endpoint protection solutions for a client. They're faced with a choice of either refreshing endpoints to the latest gen of their current product, or doing a rip and replace with something else.

I've spun up a standalone AD environment with ~5 Win 10 VMs and nothing on 'em except a current set of patches. The idea is I can assign each workstation VM an install of INSERT_NAME_OF_POPULAR_AV_VENDOR_HERE and have somewhat of a "bake off."

Now what I'm finding is there are great sites like [AV Test](AV Test) or AV-Comparatives do a nice job of breaking down what kind of performance, features, and management offerings a given vendor has. But what I haven't found is some structured testing for "act like a bad guy" actions. I'm thinking things like:

  • Mimikatz tomfoolery
  • Lateral attacks with Metasploit shells
  • Egress port scanning (to find an acceptable outbound port for C2 or data exfil)
  • Jacking around with various PowerShell scripts and commands

However, thanks to some awesome friends on Slack they pointed me to what looks to be a nice set of scripts/tests - many of which could be used to see what kind of behaviors the endpoint protection will catch. So coming up in part #2 of this series, I'll do a deeper dive into:

7MS #580: Hacking Tommy Callahan - Part 3

Today me and my pal Paul from Project7 did a live hacking session and finally got the Callahan Auto brake pad Web app back online! Hopefully you enjoyed this hacking series. The feedback has been great, so we may have to take a crack at Billy in the near future as well.

7MS #579: Hacking Tommy Callahan - Part 2

Hey friends, today we're continuing our series on pwning the Tommy Boy VM on VulnHub VM! P.S. did you miss part one? Check it out on YouTube. Joe "The Machine" Skeen and I had a blast poking and prodding at the VM in hopes to fix the broken Callahan Auto brake-ordering Web app. Some tips/tricks we cover: It's always a good idea to look at a site's robots.txt file crunch is awesome for making wordlists fcrackzip is rad for cracking encrypted zip files dirbuster works well for busting into hidden files and subfolders exiftool works well to pull metadata out of images

7MS #578: Interview with Mike Toole of Blumira

Today I'm excited to share a featured interview with our new friend Mike Toole of Blumira. We talk about all things EDR, including: How does it differ from something like Windows Defender? What things do I need to keep in mind if I'm in the market for an EDR purchase? Is Mac EDR any good? How do attackers bypass EDR? Will AI create industructible malware, take over the human race and then use our bodies for batteries?

7MS #577: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 48

Holy schnikes - this episode is actually 7 minutes long! What a concept! Anyway, today I give you a couple tips that have helped me pwn some internal networks the last few weeks, including: Getting a second (and third?) opinion on Active Directory Certificate Services vulnerabilities! Analyzing the root domain object in BloodHound to find some misconfigs that might equal instant domain admin access!

7MS #575: Annoying Attackers with ADHD - Part 2

7MS #575: Annoying Attackers with ADHD - Part 2

Hey friends! Today we're taking a second look at ADHD - Active Defense Harbinger Distribution - a cool VM full of tools designed to annoy/attribute/attack pesky attackers! The tools covered today include: PHP-HTTP-TARPIT A tool to confuse and waste bot/scanner/hacker time. Grab it here and check out our setup instructions: sudo git clone https://github.com/msigley/PHP-HTTP-Tarpit.git /opt/tarpit cd /opt/tarpit sudo mv la_brea.php /var/www/html/index.php cd /var/www/html/ # Delete the default HTMLM files that are there sudo rm DEFAULT .HTML FILES # Start/restart apache2 sudo service apache2 stop sudo service apache2 start # It's easier to see PHP-HTTP-TARPIT in action from command line: curl -i http://IP.RUNNING.THE.TARPIT Spidertrap This tool tangles Web visitors in a never-ending maze of pages with links! sudo git clone https://github.com/adhdproject/spidertrap.git /opt/spidertrap cd /opt/spidertrap # Open spidertrap.py and change listening port from 8080 to 80 sudo nano spidertrap.py # Run the trap sudo python3 spidertrap.py Weblabyrinth This tool presents visitors with a blurb of text from Alice in Wonderland. That text has links that takes them to...you guessed it...more Alice in Wonderland excerpts! I especially like that if you visit ANY folder or link inside Weblabyrinth, content is served (return code 200 for anything and everything). I had problems getting this running on a fresh Kali box so it's probably better to run right off the ADHD distro using their instructions.

Hey friends! Today we're looking at ADHD - Active Defense Harbinger Distribution - a cool VM full of tools designed to annoy/attribute/attack pesky attackers! ADHD gets you up and running with these tools quickly, but the distro hasn't been updated in a while, so I switched to a vanilla Kali system and setup a cowrie SSH honeypot as follows (see 7ms.us for full list of commands).
