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.

Happy new year friends! Today we talk about business/personal resolutions, including:

• New year’s resolution on the 7MinSec biz side to have a better work/life balance
• New training offering in the works
• Considering Substack as a communications platform
• A mental health booster that I came across mostly by accident

Today we’re doing a milkshake of several topics: wireless pentest pwnage, automating the boring pentest stuff with cursor.ai, and some closing business thoughts at 7MinSec celebrates its 7th year as a security consultancy.  Links discussed today:

• AWUS036ACH wifi card (not my favorite anymore)
• Panda PAU09 N600 (love this one!)
• The very important Github issue that helped me better understand BPFs and WPA3 attacks
• TrustedSec article on WPA3 downgrade attacks

Today we’ve got some super cool stuff to cover today!  First up, BPATTY v1.4 is out and has a slug of cool things:

• A whole new section on old-school wifi tools like airmon-ng, aireplay-ng and airodump-ng
• Syntax on using two different tools to parse creds from Dehashed
• An updated tutorial on using Gophish for phishing campaigns

The cocoa-flavored cherry on top is a tale of pentest pwnage that includes:

• Abusing SCCM
• Finding gold in SQL configuration/security audits

Hey friends, today we’re talking about tips to effectively present your technical assessment to a variety of audiences – from lovely IT and security nerds to C-levels, the board and beyond!

Today’s episode talks about some things that helped me get through a stressful and hospital-visit-filled Thanksgiving week, including:

• Journaling
• Meditation
• (An activity I’m ashamed of but has actually done wonders for my mental health)

Hey friends, we’ve got a short but sweet tale of pentest pwnage for you today. Key lessons learned:

• Definitely consider BallisKit for your EDR-evasion needs
• If you get local admin to a box, enumerate, enumerate, enumerate!  There might be a delicious task or service set to run as a domain admin that can quickly escalate your privileges!

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.

Today we take a look at a zero-trust / ditch-your-VPN solution called Twingate (not a sponsor but we’d like them to be)!  It also doubles nicely as a primary or backup connection for your DIY pentest dropboxes which we’ve talked about quite a bit here.  In other news, we’ve moved from Teachable to Coursestack, so if you’ve bought training/ebooks with us before, you should’ve received some emails from us last Friday and can access our new training portal here.  (If you THINK you should’ve received enrollment emails from CourseStack and didn’t, drop us a line here.)

In the tangent portion of our program, I give a health update on my mom and dad, and talk about some resources I’m exploring to reduce stress and anxiety after what has been a tough week for many of us.

Hey friends, today I’m sharing my first (and non-sponsored) impressions of Level.io, a cool tool for managing Windows, Mac and Linux endpoints. It fits a nice little niche in our pentest dropbox deployments, it has an attractive price point and their support is fantastic.
