7MS #277: Patching Solutions Bake-Off - Part 3

7MS #277: Patching Solutions Bake-Off - Part 3

ManageEngine Desktop Central

Overall, I have to bluntly say that I really enjoyed playing with ManageEngine's solution. It's got a crap-ton of features built into it - above and beyond patching - that I think IT/security folks will really appreciate.

Pros
  • Agent or agentless management of systems

  • MDM (didn't play with it but it certainly looks feature-rich)

  • Application white/blacklisting

  • Ability to push out configurations for things you'd normally use GPOs for - i.e. setting a login banner, enforcing screen locks, setting IE homepage and search engine, etc.

  • Patch management is full-featured - it's easy to setup a simple "scan systems, download and deploy missing patches." Or just a "scan to identify missing patches" kind of thing. It's easy to run a variety of reports to find out which systems are most vulnerable, which patches are missing across the enterprise, etc.

  • Software deployment engine - there's a big package library where you can easily search and deploy things like Dropbox, Adobe Reader, etc. It also includes a self-service portal where users can simply select certain packages and have them installed automagically!

  • Inventory - ability to have detailed hardware/software level details on each machine. Ability to block software by path and/or hash. You can also give people a warning saying "We're gonna nuke dropbox in 2 days if you keep it on here!"

  • Agent-based install gives you ability to chat with users, remote control systems, send announcements, drop to a command line at a target machine, etc.

  • Reports - you can create a report for just about anything under the sun like AD group changes, user logon reports, users that are disabled/expired, and on and on...

  • Email alerts - I think you can trigger an email alert for just about ANYTHING that happens in the environment.

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.

7MS #650: Tales of Pentest Pwnage - Part 65

Oooooo, giggidy! Today is (once again) my favorite tale of pentest pwnage. I learned about a feature of PowerUpSQL that helped me find a "hidden" SQL account, and that account ended up being the key to the entire pentest! I wonder how many hidden SQL accounts I've missed on past pentests….SIGH! Check out the awesome BloodHound gang thread about this here. Also, can't get Rubeus monitor mode to capture TGTs to the registry? Try output to file instead: rubeus monitor /interval:5 /nowrap /runfor:60 /consoleoutfile:c:\users\public\some-innocent-looking-file.log In the tangent department, I talk about a personal music project I'm resurrecting to help my community.
