7MS #449: DIY Pentest Dropbox Tips - Part 3

Happy new year! This episode continues our series on DIY pentest dropboxes with a focus on automation - specifically as it relates to automating the build of Windows 10, Windows Server 2019, Kali and Ubuntu VMs. Here's the resources I talk about in more detail on today's episode that helps make the automagic happen:

Windows VMs
This article from Windowscentral.com does a great job of walking you through building a Windows 10 unattended install. A key piece of the automation is the autounattend.xml file, which you can somewhat automatically build here, but I think you'll want to install the Windows System Image Manager to really get in the tech weeds and fully tweak that answer file. The handy AnyBurn utility will help you make ISOs out of your Windows 10 / Server 2019 customized builds.

Ubuntu VMs
I set out to build a Ubuntu 18.x box because Splashtop only supports a few Linux builds. I found a freakin' sweet project called Linux unattended installation that helps you build the preseed.cfg file (kind of like the Windows equivalent of an answer file). The area of preseed.cfg I've been spending hours dorking around with is:

d-i preseed/late_command string \

Under this section you can customize things to your heart's content. For example, you could automatically pull down and install all OS packages/updates and a bunch of third party utils you want:

in-target sh -c 'apt-get update'; \ in-target sh -c 'apt-get upgrade -y'; \ in-target sh -c 'apt-get install curl dnsrecon git net-tools nmap openssh-server open-vm-tools-desktop python3.8 python3-pip python-libpcap ubuntu-gnome-desktop unzip wget xsltproc -y'; \

Finally, the project provides a slick script that will wrap up your Ubuntu build plus an SSH key into a ready-to-go ISO:

build-iso.sh ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ~/Desktop/My-kool-kustomized-Ubuntu.iso

Awesome!

Kali VMs
There is some decent documentation on building a preseed.cfg file for Kali. But the best resource I found with some excellent prebuilt config file is this kali-preseed project.

Once your seed file is built, it's super easy to simply host it on a machine in your network and let Kali pull it during install. For example, if you've got a Linux box with Python on the network at 192.168.0.7, just make a temporary folder with the preseed.cfg file in it and then run:

sudo python3 -m http.server 80

Then, in your virtual environment, create a new VM and boot it to a Kali NetInstaller image. At the splash screen, hit Tab and it'll display a command line you can edit. Remove the line that says something like preseed/file=/cdrom/simple-cdd/default.preseed, add auto=true and then the URL path to your preseed file, such as url=http://192.168.0.7/preseed.cfg. The Kali will ask for a few questions, such as a username and hostname to configure, and then if you're watching your machine hosting preseed.cfg, you'll see your Kali machine grab the config file and take care of the rest from there!

Got a better/cooler/funner/faster/awesomer way to do this type of automation? Let us know!

7MS #595: Choosing the Right XDR Strategy with Matt Warner of Blumira

Today we're joined by Matt Warner of Blumira (remember him from episodes #551 and #529 and #507?) to talk about choosing the right XDR strategy! There's a lot to unpack here. Are EDR, MDR and XDR related? Can you get them all from one vendor - and should you? Do you run them on-prem, in the cloud, or both? Join us as Matt answers these questions and more!

7MS #593: Hacking Billy Madison - Part 3

Hey friends, today my Paul and I kept trying to hack the VulnHub machine based on the movie Billy Madison (see part 1 and 2). In our journey we learned some good stuff: Port knocking is awesome using utilities like knock: /opt/knock/knock 10.0.7.124 1466 67 1469 1514 1981 1986 Sending emails via command line is made (fairly) easy with swaks: swaks --to eric@madisonhotels.com --from vvaughn@polyfector.edu --server 192.168.110.105:2525 --body "My kid will be a soccer player" --header "Subject: My kid will be a soccer player" You could also use telnet and do this command by command - see this article from Black Hills Information Security for more info. Hyda works good for spraying FTP creds: hydra -l user -P passlist.txt ftp://192.168.0.1 Check out my quick cheat sheet about bettercap (see episode #522) for some syntax on extracting WPA handshake data from cap files: # ...it looks like the new standard hash type might be m22000 per this article (https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-10253.html). In that case, here's what I did on the pcap itself to get it ready for hashcat: sudo /usr/bin/hcxpcapngtool -o readytocrack.hc22000 wifi-handshakes.pcap # Then crack with hashcat! sudo /path/to/hashcat -m22000 readytocrack.hc2000 wordlist.txt

7MS #592: 7 Steps to Recover Your Hacked Facebook Account

Today we're talking about 7 steps you can take to (hopefully) reclaim a hacked Facebook account. The key steps are: Ask Facebook for help (good luck with that) Put out an SOS on your socials Flag down the FBI Call the cops! Grumble to your attorney general Have patience Lock it down (once you get the account back)! Also, I have to say that this article was a fantastic resource in helping me create the outline above.

7MS #591: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 52

Today we talk about an awesome path to internal network pentest pwnage using downgraded authentication from a domain controller, a tool called ntlmv1-multi, and a boatload of cloud-cracking power on the cheap from vast.ai. Here's my chicken scratch notes for how to take the downgraded authentication hash capture (using Responder.py -I eth0 --lm) and eventually tweeze out the NTLM hash of the domain controller (see https://7ms.us for full show notes).

7MS #590: Hacking Billy Madison - Part 2

Today my Paul and I continued hacking Billy Madison (see part one here) and learned some interesting things: You can fuzz a URL with a specific file type using a format like this: wfuzz -c -z file,/root/Desktop/wordlist.txt --hc 404 http://x.x.x.x/FUZZ.cap To rip .cap files apart and make them "pretty" you can use tpick: tcpick -C -yP -r tcp_dump.pcap Or tcpflow: apt install tcpflow tcpflow -r To do port knocking, you can use the knock utility: sudo git clone https://github.com/grongor/knock /opt/knock knock 1.2.3.4 21 23 25 69 444 7777777

7MS #589: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 51

In today's tale of pentest pwnage we talk about: The importance of local admin and how access to even one server might mean instant, full control over their backup or virtualization infrastructure Copying files via WinRM when copying over SMB is blocked: $sess = New-PSSession -Computername SERVER-I-HAVE-LOCAL-ADMIN-ACCESS-ON -Credential * ...then provide your creds...and then: copy-item c:\superimportantfile.doc -destination c:\my-local-hard-drive\superimportantfile.doc -fromsession $sess If you come across PowerShell code that crafts a secure string credential, you may able to decrypt the password variable with: [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($MyVarIWantToDecryptGoesHere))
