7MS #369: Cracking Hashes with NPK

Today's episode is brought to you by my friends at safepass.me. Safepass.me is the most efficient and cost-effective solution to prevent Active Directory users from setting a weak or compromised password.

Today I'm having a blast with cracking hashes quickly and cost-effectively using NPK.

For 1+ years I've loved my Paperspace config, but lately I've had some reservations about it:

  • People are telling me they're having problems installing the drivers
  • My methodology for building wordlists with HateCrack doesn't seem to work anymore
  • I often pay a lot of $ for idle time since you pay ~$5/month just for the VM itself, and then a buck and change per hour the box is running - even when it's not cracking anything.

This week on a pentest I wasn't capturing many hashes, and when I finally did it was a really valuable one. So I wanted to throw more "oomph" at the hash but don't have a ton of days to spare.

Enter NPK which lets you submit a hash, decide how much horsepower to throw at it, and even set a max amount of $ to spend on the effort. Super cool! I'm loving it so far!

Note: I did have a heck of a time with the install (I'm sure it was a me thing) so I wrote up this gist to help others who might hit the same issue:

Happy crackin'!

7MS #662: Pentesting Potatoes - Part 2

7MS #662: Pentesting Potatoes - Part 2

Hi friends, today we're talking about pentesting potatoes (not really, but this episode is sort of a homage to episode 333 where I went to Boise to do a controls assessment and ended up doing an impromptu physical pentest and social engineer exercise).  I talk about what a blast I'm having hunting APTs in XINTRA LABS, and two cool tools I'm building with the help of Cursor: A wrapper for Netexec that quickly finds roastable users, machines without SMB signing, clients running Webclient and more. A sifter of Snaffler-captured files to zero in even closer on interesting things such as usernames and passwords in clear text.

7MS #661: Baby’s First Hetzner and Ludus – Part 2

Today we continue our journey from last week where we spun up a Hetzner cloud server and Ludus.cloud SCCM pentesting range!  Topics include: Building a Proxmox Backup Server (this YouTube video was super helpful) Bridging a second WAN IP to the Hetzner/Ludus server Wrestling with the Hetzner (10-rule limit!) software firewall When attacking SCCM – you can get a version of pxethief that runs in Linux!

7MS #660: Baby's First Hetzner and Ludus

7MS #660: Baby's First Hetzner and Ludus

I had an absolute ball this week spinning up my first Hetzner server, though it was not without some drama (firewall config frustrations and failing hard drives).  Once I got past that, though, I got my first taste of the amazing world of Ludus.cloud, where I spun up a vulnerable Microsoft SCCM lab and have started to pwn it.  Can’t say enough good things about Ludus.cloud, but I certainly tried in this episode!

7MS #657: Writing Rad Security Documentation with Retype

7MS #657: Writing Rad Security Documentation with Retype

Hello friends!  Today we’re talking about a neat and quick-to-setup documentation service called Retype.  In a nutshell, you can get Retype installed on GitHub pages in about 5 minutes and be writing beautiful markdown pages (with built-in search) immediately.  I still absolutely love Docusaurus, but I think Retype definitely gives it a run for its money.
