7MS #436: Cleaning Up Your Cloud Clutter

7MS #436: Cleaning Up Your Cloud Clutter

Hey, hope you're having a great week! The last few weeks have had somewhat of a homecoming and home cleaning theme. To continue that train of thought, over the last few days I've gotten heavy into cleaning up my cloud clutter - cloud services, email, file sharing, etc. - in an effort to be more secure and have a reduced digital footprint. Today's tips include:

  • Double-check that any device you have that supports full-disk encryption has it enabled

  • On all your machines, clean up old straggler artifacts in C:, desktop folder, downloads folder, etc. Use the nifty built in tools for Windows 10 to free up even more disk space (I just learned about this one recently - Windirstat and Treesizefree were my go-tos for years)

  • Got old PCs sitting around you're not using? Nuke 'em with DBAN.

  • Go into your password vault and clean out creds for services you don't use anymore (especially for old client projects!)

  • Purge your file share services (Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. on a regular basis), and/or bring older archives over to cold (on-site) encrypted storage

  • Review your "bottleneck" accounts (key email accounts, for example) and review the devices/services linked to them - clean up and purge regularly

  • Handling password hashes? Here's one way to setup an encrypted partition for them

  • You can clean old email from Gmail quickly using some simple searches. You can also use Google Takeout to download offline copies of mail and then browse them later with Thunderbird

7MS #651: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 66

7MS #651: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 66

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!

7MS #650: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 65

7MS #650: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 65

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.

7MS #649: First Impressions of Twingate

7MS #649: First Impressions of Twingate

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.

7MS #648: First Impressions of Level.io

7MS #648: First Impressions of Level.io

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.

7MS #646: Baby’s First Incident Response with Velociraptor

7MS #646: Baby’s First Incident Response with Velociraptor

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!
