7MS #334: IT Security Horrors That Keep You Up at Night

Hey friends, today's episode is hosted by an AI from Murf.ai because I suffered a throat injury over the holidays and spent Christmas morning in the emergency room! TLDL: I'm fine, but if you want the (sort of) gory details and an update on my condition after my ENT appointment, check out today's episode. Otherwise, we'll see you next week when our regularly scheduled security content continues in 2023. Merry belated Christmas, happy holidays and happiest of new year to you and yours!

Copernic Desktop Search Running Responder as Responder.py -I eth0 -A will analyze traffic but not poison it I like to run mitm6 in one window with mitm6.py -i eth0 -d mydomain.com --no-ra --ignore-nofqdn and then in another window I do ntlmrelayx.py -6 -wh doesntexist -t ldaps://ip.of.the.dc -smb2support --delegate-access > relaysRphun.log - that way I always have a log of everything happening during the mitm6 attack Vast.ai looks to be a cost-effective way to crack hashes in the cloud (haven't tested it myself yet)

Today we welcome our pal Matthew Warner (CTO and co-founder of Blumira) back to the show for a third time (his first appearance was #507 and second was #529). I complained to Matt about how so many SIEM/SOC solutions don't catch early warning signs of evil things lurking in customer networks. Specifically, I whined about 7 specific, oft-missed attacks like port scanning, Kerberoasting, ASREPRoasting, password spraying and more. (Shameless self-promotion opportunity: I will be discussing these attacks on an upcoming livestream on December 29). Matt dives into each of these attacks and shares some fantastic insights into what they look like from a defensive perspective, and also offers practical strategies and tools for detecting them! Note: during the discussion, Matt points out a lot of important Active Directory groups to keep an eye on from a membership point of view. Those groups include: ASAAdmins Account Operators Administrators Administrators Backup Operators Cert Publishers Certificate Service DCOM DHCP Administrators Debugger Users DnsAdmins Domain Admins Enterprise Admins Enterprise Admins Event Log Readers ExchangeAdmins Group Policy Creator Owners Hyper-V Administrators IIS_IUSRS IT Compliance and Security Admins Incoming Forest Trust Builders MacAdmins Network Configuration Operators Schema Admins Server Operators ServerAdmins SourceFireAdmins WinRMRemoteWMIUsers WorkstationAdmins vCenterAdmins

Will we do it again? Who knows. But anyway, we had a fun time talking about things that have gone not so well during pentesting lately, specifically: Things we keep getting caught doing (and some potential ways to not get caught!

This is not a brag or a flex, but this episode covers a coveted achievement I haven't achieved in my whole life...until now: TDAD: Triple Domain Admin Dance!!!!1111!!!1!1!!!! We talk about the fun attack path that led to the TDAD (hint: always check Active Directory user description fields!), as well as a couple quick, non-spoilery reviews of a few movies: V for Vendetta and The Black Phone.

TLDL: get into a printer interface, adjust the LDAP lookup IP to be your Kali box, run nc -lvp 389 on your Kali box, and then "test" the credentials via the printer interface in order to (potentially) capture an Active Directory cred! Today we also define an achievement that's fun to unlock called DDAD: Double Domain Admin Dance.
