7MS #261: Blind Network Security Assessments

This week I had the fun opportunity to do a "blind" network security assessment - where basically we had to step into a network we'd never seen before and make some security posture recommendations. I've found that the following software/hardware is quite helpful for this type of assessment:

  • The PwnPulse helps a ton in scanning wired and wireless networks...and even Bluetooth! I've covered the Pulse in past episodes - check out part 1 and part 2.

  • Network Detective will do a ton of helpful Active Directory enumeration and point out potential red flags, such as:

    • Accounts that haven't been logged into for a long time
    • Accounts with passwords that haven't been refreshed in a long time
    • Privileged groups that need review (Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, etc.)
  • AD policy issues (*warning: by default Network Detective only pulls back a few policies by default. Check out scripts such as my Environment Check to grab a dump of all GPOs.

  • Thycotic Privileged Account Discovery is a free tool that can crawl AD workstations and enumerate the local administrator accounts on each machine. It makes a good case for implementing LAPS.

Hey, you should log the stuff going on in your network. This episode talks about that (again). And I reference some AD-related settings that may not be enabled in your environment…stuff you might want to turn on. Check out that information via this PDF here. 7MS #47: Logging and Alerting Reloaded (audio)

So you want to be a hacker? Cool. In this episode I toss myself under the bus and share why I used to have a really dumb perspective on what that meant, and how my view of hackers – and hacking – has changed (and hopefully matured). 7MS #46: So You Want to be a…

7MS #42: Vulnerability Scans vs. Pentests (audio)

I think everybody throws around the terms “vulnerability scans” and “pentests” and they mean completely different things from one person to the next. In this episode I try to clarify the differences and distinctions (in my mind, anyways). 7MS #42: Vulnerability Scans vs. Pentests (audio)
