7MS #462: Pentesting with the Hak5 Key Croc

Hey friends, we’ve got a short but sweet tale of pentest pwnage for you today. Key lessons learned: Definitely consider BallisKit for your EDR-evasion needs If you get local admin to a box, enumerate, enumerate, enumerate!  There might be a delicious task or service set to run as a domain admin that can quickly escalate your privileges!

Oooooo, giggidy! Today is (once again) my favorite tale of pentest pwnage. I learned about a feature of PowerUpSQL that helped me find a “hidden” SQL account, and that account ended up being the key to the entire pentest!  I wonder how many hidden SQL accounts I’ve missed on past pentests….SIGH! Check out the awesome BloodHound gang thread about this here. Also, can’t get Rubeus monitor mode to capture TGTs to the registry?  Try output to file instead: rubeus monitor /interval:5 /nowrap /runfor:60 /consoleoutfile:c:\users\public\some-innocent-looking-file.log In the tangent department, I talk about a personal music project I’m resurrecting to help my community.

Today we take a look at a zero-trust / ditch-your-VPN solution called Twingate (not a sponsor but we’d like them to be)!  It also doubles nicely as a primary or backup connection for your DIY pentest dropboxes which we’ve talked about quite a bit here.  In other news, we’ve moved from Teachable to Coursestack, so if you’ve bought training/ebooks with us before, you should’ve received some emails from us last Friday and can access our new training portal here.  (If you THINK you should’ve received enrollment emails from CourseStack and didn’t, drop us a line here.) In the tangent portion of our program, I give a health update on my mom and dad, and talk about some resources I’m exploring to reduce stress and anxiety after what has been a tough week for many of us.

Hey friends, today I’m sharing my first (and non-sponsored) impressions of Level.io, a cool tool for managing Windows, Mac and Linux endpoints. It fits a nice little niche in our pentest dropbox deployments, it has an attractive price point and their support is fantastic.

Today we’re talkin’ business – specifically how to make your report delivery meetings calm, cool and collect (both for you and the client!).

Hey friends, today I’m putting my blue hat on and dipping my toes in incident response by way of playing with Velociraptor, a very cool (and free!) tool to find evil in your environment.  Perhaps even better than the price tag, Velociraptor runs as a single binary you can deploy to spin up a server and then request endpoints to “phone home” to you by way of GPO scheduled task.  The things I talk about in this episode and show in the YouTube stream are all based off of this awesome presentation from Eric Capuano, who also was kind enough to publish a handout to accompany the presentation.  And on a personal note, I wanted to share that Velociraptor has got me interested in jumping face first into some tough APT labs provided by XINTRA.  More to come on XINTRA’s offering, but so far I’m very impressed!

Today I do a short travelogue about my trip to Washington, geek out about some cool training I did with Velociraptor, ponder drowning myself in blue team knowledge with XINTRA LABS, and share some thoughts about the conference talk I gave called 7 Ways to Panic a Pentester.

Hey!  I’m speaking in Wanatchee, Washington next week at the NCESD conference about 7 ways to panic a pentester!  Today’s tale of pentest pwnage is a great reminder to enumerate, enumerate, enumerate!  It also emphases that cracking NETLM/NETNTLMv1 isn’t super easy to remember the steps for (at least for me) but this crack.sh article makes it a bit easier!
