7MS #464: Interview with Christopher Fielder of Arctic Wolf

Today our friend Christopher Fielder of Arctic Wolf joins us on the show again (check out his first appearance in episode #444 - this time to talk about the security journey, and how to start out in your "security diapers" and mature towards a stronger infosec program. Specifically, we talk about:

  • When the company has one person in charge of IT/security, how can you start taking security seriously without burning this person out? First, it's probably a good idea to take note of what you have as far as people, tools and technology to help you meet your security goals.

  • Early in this process, you should inventory what you have (see CIS controls) so you know what you need to protect. A few tools to help you get started:

  • As you go about any phase of your security journey, don't ever think "I'm good, I'm secure!"

  • Quarterly/yearly vulnerability scans just won't cut it in today's threat landscape - especially your external network. Consider scanning it nightly to catch show-stoppers like Hafnium early)

  • Limiting administrative privileges is SUPER important - but don't take our word for it, check out this report from Beyond Trust for some important stats like "...enforcing least privilege and removing admin rights eliminates 56% of critical Microsoft vulnerabilities."

  • Install LAPS, because if an attacker gets local admin access everywhere, that's in many ways just as good as Domain Admin!

  • Train your users on relevant security topics. Then train them again. Then....again. And after that? Again.

  • There are many ways to conduct tabletop exercises. They don't have to be crazy technical. Start with the internal tech teams, practice some scenarios and get everybody loosened up. Then add the executives to those meetings so that everybody is more at ease.

  • How do you know when it's time to ask for help from an outside security resource?

  • Not sure what kind of shape your company's security posture is in? Check out Arctic Wolf's free security maturity assessment.

7MS #619: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 56

We did something crazy today and recorded an episode that was 7 minutes long!  Today we talk about some things that have helped us out in recent pentests: When using Farmer to create “trap” files that coerce authentication, I’ve found way better results using Windows Search Connectors (.searchConnector-ms) files This matrix of “can I relay this to that” has been super helpful, especially early in engagements

7MS #618: Writing Savage Pentest Reports with Sysreptor

7MS #618: Writing Savage Pentest Reports with Sysreptor

Today’s episode is all about writing reports in Sysreptor.  It’s awesome!  Main takeaways: The price is free (they have a paid version as well)! You can send findings and artifacts directly to the report server using the reptor Python module Warning: Sysreptor only exports to PDF (no Word version option!) Sysreptor has helped us write reports faster without sacrificing quality

7MS #617: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 55

Hey friends, today we’ve got a tale of pentest pwnage that covers: Passwords – make sure to look for patterns such as keyboard walks, as well as people who are picking passwords where the month the password changed is part of the password (say that five times fast)! Making sure you go after cached credentials Attacking SCCM – Misconfiguration Manager is an absolute gem to read, and The First Cred is the Deepest – Part 2 with Gabriel Prud’homme is an absolute gem to see.  Also, check out sccmhunter for all your SCCM pwnage needs.

7MS #616: Interview with Andrew Morris of GreyNoise

Hey friends, today we have a super fun interview with Andrew Morris of GreyNoise to share.  Andrew chatted with us about: Young Andrew’s early adventures in hacking his school’s infrastructure (note: don’t try this at home, kids!) Meeting a pentester for the first time, and getting his first pentesting job Spinning up a box on the internet, having it get popped instantly, and wondering…”Are all these people trying to hack me?” Battling through a pentester’s least favorite part of the job: THE REPORT! GreyNoise’s origin story How to build a better honeypot/honeynet

7MS #615: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 54

Hey friends, sorry I’m so late with this (er, last) week’s episode but I’m back!  Today is more of a prep for tales of pentest pwnage, but topics covered include: Make sure when you’re snafflin‘ that you check for encrypted/obfuscated logins and login strings – it might not be too tough to decrypt them! On the defensive side, I’ve found myself getting *blocked* doing things like SharpHound runs, Snaffler, PowerHuntShares, etc.  Look through the readme files for these tools and try cranking down the intensity/threads of these tools and you might fly under the radar.

7MS #612: Pentestatonix - Part 2

Hello friends, we’re still deep in the podcast trenches this quarter and wanted to share some nuggets of cool stuff we’ve been learning along the way: Snaffler – pairs nicely with PowerHuntShares to find juicy tidbits within file/folder shares Group3r – helps you find interesting and potentially abusable Group Policy Object configurations Farmer – totally awesome toolkit for dropping tricky files on shares that will do things like fire up the Webclient service for any system browsing the share (doesn’t require admin rights!) or coaxing a system into authenticating with you via HTTP or SMB
