7MS #297: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Crying

Intro

Here's some of the "juice" that has helped 7MS have a successful start:

Support system

Ok so I think if you're going to have a successful business, you need an awesome support system. Mine consists of some of these things:

  • Faith - I'm a Christian and pray about this business constantly. In fact I learned really quickly how easy it is to brag about your rock-solid faith when everything is going fine. And then when suddenly the rug is pulled out from under you, you find what your faith is really made of!

  • My wife - she's my biggest supporter and cheerleader.

  • Financial advisor - we have a great "money guy" who helped us plan for moments like these, where income might be slower as I drum up business.

  • Trusted advisors - I'm blessed to have a partner called InteProIQ that has been a sounding board for a zillion and one questions. Everything from helping me quote projects and set hourly rates to marketing plans and connecting me with other business owners and contacts.

General "get your business started" stuff
  • Form your LLC - I just Googled how to do it, and found a bunch of articles with good info. Basically I found my state's Web site hierarchy and within that was a place to register the LLC and grab an EIN for tax purposes.

  • Bank accounts - I visited my local banker and setup work checking/savings/etc.

Tech tools to help you get the job done
  • Quickbooks - I use this to keep track of expenses, send out quotes, reconcile invoices, etc.

  • Expensify - I use it to track receipts and mileage. They even give you an email address where you can forward receipts to and it'll work it's awesome OCR magic to automatically extract the vendor, charge and date. Awesome!

  • Toggl - a free Web interface (and app) to track time for projects (if the client doesn't already have something they want me to use)

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.

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?"

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

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

7MS #611: Pentestatonix

Hey friends, sorry for the late episode but I've been deep in the trenches of pentest adventures.  I'll do a more formal tale of pentest pwnage when I come up for air, but for now I wanted to share some tips I've picked up from recent engagements: GraphRunner - awesome PowerShell toolkit for interacting with Microsoft Graph API.  From a pentesting perspective, it may help you bridge the "gap" between LAN-side AD and Azure and find some goodies - like files with and XSLX extension containing the word password. PowerUpSQL -I typically use this to make SQL servers cough me up a hash via SMB using stored procedures, but I learned this week that I'll deeeefffffinitely use the Invoke-SQLAudit -Verbose functionality going forward.
