7MS #437: Homecoming and Home ioT Security - Part 3

Hi friends, I'm going to be taking a break from producing podcast episodes, as well as content over at 7MinSec.club.  It's a temporary break, so please don't unsubscribe, unfollow, etc.  I need some extra time/energy to invest in helping our friends/family/neighbors/communities in the Twin Cities. Important note: our professional services are not impacted by this.  If you have security projects going on with us now (or want to in the future), nothing has changed there.  It's business as usual. Looking forward to reconnecting with you and providing more updates as soon as possible.

Hey friends, in episode #649 I gave you my first impressions of Twingate.  It's been a minute, so I thought I'd revisit Twingate (specifically this awesome Twingate LXC) and talk about how we're using it to (almost) entirely replace remote access to our datacenter servers and pentest dropboxes.  Also, don't forget: Our pentest class is coming up at the end of the month – more info here. We do a Tuesday TOOLSday video every Tuesday over at 7MinSec Club.

After sharing a recent story about how a phishing campaign went south, I heard feedback from a lot of you.  You either commiserated with my story, told me I wussed out, and/or had a difficult story of your own to share.  So I thought I'd keep this momentum up and share another story of fail with you – this time about a Web app pentest that went south.

I'm so excited to share today's tale of pentest pwnage, because it brings back to life a coercion technique I thought wouldn't work against Windows 11! Spoiler alert: check out rpc2efs, as well as the 7MinSec Club episode we did on the topic this week. Also, our January Light Pentest LITE:GOAD class is open for registration here!

This might be obvious, but security is not all domain admin dancing and maximum pwnage. Sometimes, despite my best efforts, a security project does a faceplant. Today's episode focuses on a phishing campaign that had plenty of "bites" but got immediately shut down – for reasons I still don't understand.

Hola friends!  My week has very much been about trying to turnaround pentest dropboxes as quickly as possible.  In that adventure, I came across two time-saving discoveries: Using a Proxmox LXC as a persistent remote access method Writing a Proxmox post-deployment script that installs Splashtop on the Windows VM, and resets the admin passwords on both VMs, all from the Proxmox SSH console without touching the console on either VM If you feel some of this is better seen than said, on this week's 7MinSec.club Tuesday TOOLSday broadcast we show this in more detail.

Happy Thanksgiving week friends! Today we're celebrating a turkey and pie overload by sharing another fun tale of pentest pwnage! It involves using pygpoabuse to hijack a GPO and turn it into our pentesting puppet!  Muahahahahaah!!!!  Also: This week over at 7MinSec.club we looked at how to defend against some common SQL attacks We're very close to offering our brand new LPLITE:GOAD 3-day pentest course (likely in mid-January). It will get announced on 7MinSec.club first, so please make sure you're subscribed there (it's free!) Did you miss our talk called Should You Hire AI Run Your Next Pentest?  Check it out on YouTube!
