7MS #381: DIY $500 Pentesting Lab Deployment Tips

For Windows VMs

  • Take a snapshot right after the OS is installed, as (I believe) the countdown timer for Windows evaluation mode starts upon first "real" boot.
  • Want to quickly run Windows updates on a fresh Win VM? Try this (here's the source):
powershell Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force powershell Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate -force powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass powershell Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate powershell Get-WindowsUpdate powershell Install-WindowsUpdates -AcceptAll -AutoReboot
  • To turn on remote desktop:
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0
  • To set the firewall to allow RDP:
Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Desktop"
  • To stop the freakin' Windows hosts from going to sleep:
powercfg.exe -change -standby-timeout-ac 0
  • To automate the install of VMWare tools, grab the package from VMWare's site, decompress it, then:
setup64.exe /s /v "/qn reboot=r"
  • To set the time zone via command line, run tzutil /l and then you can set your desired zone with something like tzutil /s "Central Standard Time"

For Linux VMs

  • Get SSH keys regenerated and install/run openssh server:
apt install openssh-server -y mkdir /etc/ssh/default_keys mv /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* /etc/ssh/default_keys/ dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server systemctl enable ssh.service systemctl start ssh.service

Next user group meeting September 30!

7MS #54: Traveling with a Red Giant (audio)

If you’re concerned about your credit/debit card security, you might want to give Red Giant a try. It’s a service that provides a debit card you can unlock *only* when buying something. It’s cool. Oh, and Red Giant is NOT sponsoring this episode. If I ever get sponsors, I’ll disclose them clearly. :-) 7MS #54:…
