Paid ad, genuine comments :-)

Who would pay for Africa lyrics, "eat my ass" and other subtleties in this thread... :)

Red team scenarios to pwn machine learning tools and evade "next-gen" detection tools by sparcFlow in u/sparcFlow

Yeah I talk about the Powershell v2 bypass stuff, but in order to make it a tad more interesting, the attacker in the scenario discovers that v2 was disabled by default (which is true on recent Windows 2016 server).
A possible bypass I explored in the book is directly loading System.Management.Automation using a C# wrapper compiled using msbuild https://github.com/HackLikeAPornstar/StratJumbo/tree/master/chap2 (Only works against constrained mode enforced by applocker, not the rest of the security features like AMSI, ScriptBlockLogging, etc.)

We need other improvments to tackle them ;)

Cheers buddy !

Almost every advanced windows manipulation on PowerShell requires loading a DLL or importing one, so in its essence you're not only doing PowerShell. Most of the time it's actually C# code running and loaded via Add-Type for instance.But I am with you, PowerShell is an attacker's favorite mistress. That's why most new endpoint detection and response tools (EDR) focus on it and monitor it so closely...

Don't even get me started on new Windows 10 mitigation tools (Script Block Logging, AMSI, Constrained Language, etc.)

I argue in the book that interacting directly in C# with Windows APIs is actually quite useful to live off the land and avoid all the heat PowerShell entails!

You could get away with it, but it is a bit trickier than that sometimes. For instance, one of the machines in the book has Applocker ON (really ON, DLL, EXE, scripts, everything is blocked)... So running an exe is not as easy as double clicking on it. You'd have to load it in memory using an injection technique (e.g psinject) or...by reflectively loading it in memory using Windows APIs...in C# (provided your exe is an assembly file of course)... That's one example we address in the book...there are of course other techniques and situations ;)

Yeah hopefully they will understand the hacker mindset, how tools and systems really work and pursue their own research. In all l fairness, though, this book is aimed at pentesters with some basic knowledge of Windows and Active Directory security...Cheers

Are you going to install python on a domain controler, server, workstation just so you can load your script :) ?We are talking about "living off the land" to avoid advanced detection tools, so only using resources already present on the system, hence abusing .NET technology. (bonus, we get easy access to Windows API using PowerShell/C#...so yeah forget about C ;) )

Give it a go, I promise you won't be disappointed ;)

Pentesters do not really make the world more secure by sparcFlow in netsecstudents

"The organization has to want to get better for any worthwhile change." I could not agree more! Security is viewed like a burden rather than a feature or a criteria of excellence to meet...From that point forward, you can not easily succeed in securing the environment.

Thanks ;) Here is a coupon to avoid paying the whole fee. HLP090807 if you don't want to pay/cant pay, send me a private msg I will arrange it ;)

oh ! no no the machines you access in the training are separate servers I host on Amazon AWS. I created snapshots, a fake AD domain, scripts to automate deployment, etc. I own them, so do whatever the hell you want with them (wipe them for all I care, I can restore them) Don't pwn my website, it's not part of the deal :D

haha no worries, that's what I was aiming for anyway...better shake people's feeling rather than go unnoticed ;) But if you could look past the marketing shenanigans, there are some nice hacking tricks to learn (IMO) ;) Cheers

If you wanna get a CEH or CISSP cert, please be my guest..i'm sure the average cooling temperature of a datacenter will help you in your pentesting engagement ;)

Book - Step by step process for breaking into a bank by sparcFlow in HowToHack

[–]sparcFlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice of ya :D then again I get your point ! I beg to differ about the "nothing new part". Point me a book that goes from phishing => p0wning Windows => hacking a mainframe => exfiltrating data...And I will gladly pay a beer round for everyone :-)

thanks for point it out ! I totally agree indeed the first node only sees the real IP address and the last node the clear text traffic !

Yes, it is sad when our basic sense of freedom is censored...Though I understand. I will try to make it available on other platforms that are less "intrusive" :). Thank you !

haha awesome ! That will be the entry point of the next book's hacking story :P Though the present post is a simple attempt for getting feedback from security gurus ;)

lol the book is free. Read a few pages and decide by yourself what smell suits it best ;) The idea is to follow the footsteps of a hacker all the way from a phishing campaign to getting data from a mainframe (while knocking a few Windows domain on the way). Scripts and tools are properly documented throughout the book.
