7MS #482: Creating Kick-Butt Credential-Capturing Phishing Campaigns - Part 3

Today we’re talking about tips to deal with stress and anxiety: It sounds basic, but take breaks – and take them in a different place (don’t just stay in the office and do more screen/doom-scrolling) I’ve never gotten to a place in my workload where I go “Ahhh, all caught up!” so I should stop striving to hit that invisible goal. Chiropractic and back massages have done wonders for the tightness in my neck and shoulders For me, video games where you punch and kick things relieves stress as well (including a specific game that’s definitely not for kids!)

We did something crazy today and recorded an episode that was 7 minutes long!  Today we talk about some things that have helped us out in recent pentests: When using Farmer to create “trap” files that coerce authentication, I’ve found way better results using Windows Search Connectors (.searchConnector-ms) files This matrix of “can I relay this to that” has been super helpful, especially early in engagements

Today’s episode is all about writing reports in Sysreptor.  It’s awesome!  Main takeaways: The price is free (they have a paid version as well)! You can send findings and artifacts directly to the report server using the reptor Python module Warning: Sysreptor only exports to PDF (no Word version option!) Sysreptor has helped us write reports faster without sacrificing quality

Hey friends, today we’ve got a tale of pentest pwnage that covers: Passwords – make sure to look for patterns such as keyboard walks, as well as people who are picking passwords where the month the password changed is part of the password (say that five times fast)! Making sure you go after cached credentials Attacking SCCM – Misconfiguration Manager is an absolute gem to read, and The First Cred is the Deepest – Part 2 with Gabriel Prud’homme is an absolute gem to see.  Also, check out sccmhunter for all your SCCM pwnage needs.

Hey friends, today we have a super fun interview with Andrew Morris of GreyNoise to share.  Andrew chatted with us about: Young Andrew’s early adventures in hacking his school’s infrastructure (note: don’t try this at home, kids!) Meeting a pentester for the first time, and getting his first pentesting job Spinning up a box on the internet, having it get popped instantly, and wondering…”Are all these people trying to hack me?” Battling through a pentester’s least favorite part of the job: THE REPORT! GreyNoise’s origin story How to build a better honeypot/honeynet

Hey friends, sorry I’m so late with this (er, last) week’s episode but I’m back!  Today is more of a prep for tales of pentest pwnage, but topics covered include: Make sure when you’re snafflin‘ that you check for encrypted/obfuscated logins and login strings – it might not be too tough to decrypt them! On the defensive side, I’ve found myself getting *blocked* doing things like SharpHound runs, Snaffler, PowerHuntShares, etc.  Look through the readme files for these tools and try cranking down the intensity/threads of these tools and you might fly under the radar.
