7MS #358: 4 Ways to Write a Better Pentest Report

7MS #358: 4 Ways to Write a Better Pentest Report

This week we're talking about everybody's favorite topic: REPORT WRITING! Yay! The peasants rejoice! In the last few months I've seen a lot of reports from other companies, and here are a few key problems I see with them:

  1. Too long - overall these things are waaAAaAaaAayyyYYYYYYyyy too long. I see reports where the analyst has copied and pasted an entire Nessus report into the main report. Yikes. That makes these things weigh in at hundreds(!) of pages.
  2. Too techie - these reports look like their written from one techie to another. Nothing wrong with that, really, however in many cases the key person that needs to "get it" is a manager or C-level position who needs to understand the risks in plain English.
  3. No narrative - the reports are just a long laundry list of vulnerabilities without any context of how the pentest was conducted or which vulns should be fixed first.
  4. Weak remediation - most of the findings are accompanied by whatever remediation instructions are provided by the vuln-scanner or other tool. We can do better than this!

How? Listen to today's episode :-).

Oh, and don't forget to come to the next 7MS User Group meeting on Monday, April 22! Details here!

7MS #662: Pentesting Potatoes - Part 2

7MS #662: Pentesting Potatoes - Part 2

Hi friends, today we're talking about pentesting potatoes (not really, but this episode is sort of a homage to episode 333 where I went to Boise to do a controls assessment and ended up doing an impromptu physical pentest and social engineer exercise).  I talk about what a blast I'm having hunting APTs in XINTRA LABS, and two cool tools I'm building with the help of Cursor: A wrapper for Netexec that quickly finds roastable users, machines without SMB signing, clients running Webclient and more. A sifter of Snaffler-captured files to zero in even closer on interesting things such as usernames and passwords in clear text.

7MS #661: Baby’s First Hetzner and Ludus – Part 2

Today we continue our journey from last week where we spun up a Hetzner cloud server and Ludus.cloud SCCM pentesting range!  Topics include: Building a Proxmox Backup Server (this YouTube video was super helpful) Bridging a second WAN IP to the Hetzner/Ludus server Wrestling with the Hetzner (10-rule limit!) software firewall When attacking SCCM – you can get a version of pxethief that runs in Linux!

7MS #660: Baby's First Hetzner and Ludus

7MS #660: Baby's First Hetzner and Ludus

I had an absolute ball this week spinning up my first Hetzner server, though it was not without some drama (firewall config frustrations and failing hard drives).  Once I got past that, though, I got my first taste of the amazing world of Ludus.cloud, where I spun up a vulnerable Microsoft SCCM lab and have started to pwn it.  Can’t say enough good things about Ludus.cloud, but I certainly tried in this episode!

7MS #657: Writing Rad Security Documentation with Retype

7MS #657: Writing Rad Security Documentation with Retype

Hello friends!  Today we’re talking about a neat and quick-to-setup documentation service called Retype.  In a nutshell, you can get Retype installed on GitHub pages in about 5 minutes and be writing beautiful markdown pages (with built-in search) immediately.  I still absolutely love Docusaurus, but I think Retype definitely gives it a run for its money.
