7MS #544: Interview with Nato Riley of Blumira
Today's episode is brought to us by Blumira, which provides easy to use, automated detection and response that can be setup in…well…about 7 minutes! Detect and resolve security threats faster and prevent breaches. Try it free today at blumira.com/7ms! Today we have a really fun interview with Nato Riley of Blumira. He cut his IT/security teeth working for a cell phone company, exorcising malware demons out of workstations, and even building an email-based SIEM. He has had a very cool career path that involves embracing newbness, pushing aside imposter syndrome, and even begging for jobs! I think this interview can best be summed up by a direct quote from Nato: "Things absolutely go wrong, and I think that's what deters people from trying. But just because something goes wrong, doesn't mean you're necessarily going to die from it. So why not try?"

There are lots of tools/services to help with this, but we had a blast playing with MailStore (not a sponsor but we'd like them to be:-).

7MS #540: Tales of Blue Team Bliss
Today we're excited to kick off a new series all about blue team bliss - in other words, we're talking about pentest stories where the blue team controls kicked our butt a little bit! Topics include: The ms-ds-machineaccount-quota value is not an "all or nothing" option! Check out Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Add workstations to domain. We installed LAPS on Twitch last week and it went pretty well! We'll do it again in an upcoming livestream. Defensive security tools that can interrupt the SharpHound collection! EDRs are pretty awesome at catching bad stuff - and going into full "shields up" mode when they're irritated!

7MS #539: Eating the Security Dog Food - Part 4
Today we revisit a series we haven't touched in a long time all about eating the security dog food. TLDL about this series is I often find myself preaching security best practices, but don't always follow them as a consultancy. So today we talk about: How the internal 7MS infosec policy development is coming along Why I'm no longer going to be "product agnostic" going forward Some first impressions of a new tool I'm trying called ITGlue (not a sponsor) How to start building a critical asset list - and how it shouldn't overlook things like domain names and LetsEncrypt certs Also, don't forget we are doing weekly livestreams on security topics!

7MS #538: First Impressions of Airlock Digital
Hey friends! Today we're giving you a first impressions episode all about Airlock Digital, an application allowlisting solution. They were kind enough to let us play with it in our lab with the intention of exploring its bells and whistles, so we're excited to report back our findings in podcast form. TLDL: we really like this solution! It is easy to deploy (see this YouTube video for a quick walkthrough). Once I had it going in the lab, I tried administering it without reading any of the documentation, and figured out most of the workflows with ease. I just ran into a couple questions that the Airlock folks were great about answering quickly. I want to better understand the "Microsoft way" to do application allowlisting - using their standard offering or something like AaronLocker. But several colleagues have told me they had "OMG moments" where a C-level staff member suddenly needed to run something like ringcentral.exe and they weren't able to because of app blocklisting. It then becomes difficult to quickly allow that .exe to run without pushing GPO updates or having someone log in as local admin or something like that. But Airlock has a cool, killer feature to address this need...take a listen to today's program to learn more!

7MS #537: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 42
In today's episode we share some tips we've picked up in the last few weeks of pentesting, with hopes it will save you from at least a few rounds of smashing your face into the keyboard. Tips include: If you find yourself with "owns" rights to a bajillion hosts in BloodHound, this query will give you a nice list of those systems, one system per line: cat export-from-bloodhound.json | jq '.nodes[].label' | tr -d '"' Then you can scan with nmap to find the "live" hosts: nmap -sn -iL targets.txt For resource based constrained delegation attacks, check out this episode of pwnage for some step-by-step instructions. If you have RBCD admin access to victim systems, don't forget that CrackMapExec support Kerberos! So you can do stuff like: cme smb VICTIM-SYSTEM -k --sam or cme smb VICTIM-SYSTEM -k -M wdigest -M ACTION=enable Take the time to search SMB shares with something like PowerHuntShares. If you have write access in places, drop an SCF file to capture/pass hashes! Looking to privilege escalate while RDP'd into a system? You owe it to yourself to check out KrbRelayUp! Ever find yourself with cracked hashcat passwords that look something like '$HEX[xxxx]'? Check this tweet from mpgn for a great cracking tip!
