7MS #430: Interview with Dan DeCloss

7MS #430: Interview with Dan DeCloss

Today we're thrilled to have our friend and PlexTrac CEO Dan DeCloss back to the program! (P.S. PlexTrac is launching runbooks as a feature - and you should definitely check out PlexTrac's upcoming Webinar about runbooks on September 9!). We also did a PlexTrac 101 Webinar with them recently!

You may remember Dan from such podcasts as this one when we first talked to him in 2019. Dan and I have a lot in common in that we both started security companies about the same time, so I had a lot of questions for Dan around how business has been going since we last talked on the podcast. Today our topics/questions include:

  • What are the (good) warning signs that a passion project you have could be a viable business?

  • Why "having all the jobs there has ever been" is a great way to figure out it's time to start your own business :-)

  • At what point does a side project have to become what you do for your day job?

  • How do you safely prepare to quit a comfortable corporate life to life as a small biz owner? Do you go 100% on faith? Do you save your $ for a year so you can "float" your business for a while? Some combination of the two?

  • How important is it to have the support of your friends/family when starting a new biz?

  • Once you start a biz what are the best/worst things about wearing all the hats (engineering, sales, marketing, accounting, HR, etc.)?

  • When is it time to hire additional resources or raise additional money to support your growing business?

  • What marketing efforts are fruitful for a new security biz to spend time/money on?

  • How do you decide what bells/whistles to add to PlexTrac? Follow your own roadmap? Let the customers drive your direction? Some combo of both?

  • What new bells and whistles are coming to PlexTrac in the Webinar on September 9?! (Spoiler alert: RUNBOOKS!)

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

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!

7MS #645: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Crying - Part 18

Today I do a short travelogue about my trip to Washington, geek out about some cool training I did with Velociraptor, ponder drowning myself in blue team knowledge with XINTRA LABS, and share some thoughts about the conference talk I gave called 7 Ways to Panic a Pentester.
