7MS #506: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 32

Hey friends, today I share my experience working with ChatGPT, Ollama.ai, PentestGPT and privateGPT to help me pentest Active Directory, as well as a machine called Pilgrimage from HackTheBox. Will AI replace pentesters as we know them today? In my humble opinion: not quite yet. Check out today's episode to hear more, and please join me on Wednesday, December 6 for my Webinar on this topic with Netwrix called Hack the Hackers: Exploring ChatGPT and PentestGPT in Penetration Testing!

Hey friends, today my Paul and I kept trying to hack the VulnHub machine based on the movie Billy Madison (see part 1 and 2). In our journey we learned some good stuff: Port knocking is awesome using utilities like knock: /opt/knock/knock 10.0.7.124 1466 67 1469 1514 1981 1986 Sending emails via command line is made (fairly) easy with swaks: swaks --to eric@madisonhotels.com --from vvaughn@polyfector.edu --server 192.168.110.105:2525 --body "My kid will be a soccer player" --header "Subject: My kid will be a soccer player" You could also use telnet and do this command by command - see this article from Black Hills Information Security for more info. Hyda works good for spraying FTP creds: hydra -l user -P passlist.txt ftp://192.168.0.1 Check out my quick cheat sheet about bettercap (see episode #522) for some syntax on extracting WPA handshake data from cap files: # ...it looks like the new standard hash type might be m22000 per this article (https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-10253.html). In that case, here's what I did on the pcap itself to get it ready for hashcat: sudo /usr/bin/hcxpcapngtool -o readytocrack.hc22000 wifi-handshakes.pcap # Then crack with hashcat! sudo /path/to/hashcat -m22000 readytocrack.hc2000 wordlist.txt
