So for a while now I’ve wanted a way to better use Nmap with proxychains and essentially I’ve resulted in a fairly simple one-liner that has worked for me for a while now on basic port scanning. It’s a trivial concept but really does speed up the process with no negative affect from what I… Continue reading Speeding up Proxychains with Nmap / Xargs

Quick blog, in response to a conversation I had. Where I was informed that this would be a cool thing to share. Recently, I was doing a simulated attack, playing the part of an individual who had gained access to a customer’s facilities. This customer had the usual stuff such as LLMNR spoofing etc which… Continue reading Clear Text Proxy Auth = Passwords

Ok, so there is good reason why Lync should not be accessible over the Internet similarly to any single factor system. BRUTE-FORCE will usually prevail!!!! I installed burp’s certificate on my Windows host and attempted to login from Lync (From this I was an HTTP NTLM Login request to https://lyncwebact.customer.com/WebTicket/WebTicketService.svc). NTLM like many other services is… Continue reading Brute-forcing Microsoft Lync via NTLM

On every internal pentest I perform I always find myself searching through lots of Nessus findings to actually get the output I want, so I wrote a script. This script is piggy backed of a cool python class called dotnessus_v2 parser (http://code.google.com/p/pynessus/). Basically my script takes a Nessus file as the input and parses the RMI… Continue reading Parsing Nessus to find Java Remote Class Loading

When attempting social engineering or red teaming engagements I often choose to embed various HTTP/UNC paths inside an attachment, e.g. Word/Excel/PDF. The best thing about embedding this malicious URL is that it does not warn the user of any external content loading. You can also do this directly inside an email but the user will… Continue reading Malicious UNC Paths (SMB) / Bad Egress / No-Split VPN
