Recently on engagements I started experiencing two reoccurring patterns, the first being that certipy and certify would both show me that a endpoint is not vulnerable to the ESC8 attack even though it is.

AWS Pentesting Cheatsheet This cheatsheet was written after a long winded engagement in which I took all my personal notes, some notes from the internet and fed them into AI to make sense of all the things I had compiled over a month and a half It could be

Having improved/built on impacket internally at my work place, I wanted to take the next step in contributing to the library by way of new modules.

This cheatsheet hopes to serve as a practical, copy-paste field reference for Titanis, which is a library made by TrustedSec and is cross-platform C# / .NET 8 protocol library and toolset for Windows / Active Directory.

The Problem If you are like me, you have found yourself digging through Microsoft specifications and RFC documentation trying to wrangle with a new exploit or tooling to get DA faster than your peers.

The recent leak as well as it being brought to my attention by Ian from Packetlabs, made me super interested in the malware Ive been hearing so much about.

Repository Used: https://github.com/PedroTortoriello/Shai-Hulud-Open-Source Last known commit: da10861 — "Shai-Hulud: A Gift From TeamPCP" The analysis of the repository shared by TeamPCP was mainly done statically as well as some other elements from here…

A few months ago I started what I thought was fairly straight forward piece of work: rewrite/fork Impacket internally for use at my current company.

Introduction: The Day My Toolbox Failed Me Picture this: You’re deep into an engagement, credentials in hand, ready to unleash your best, brightest ideas And then… nothing.

I was doing an internal engagement some time ago for a client and noticed that the CA was configured for constrained delegation with a system that looked like a Web Server.

During a recent penetration test I did against a critical infrastructure operator, I had achieved Domain Administrator through two independent routes; ADCS ESC4, and by combining an LMCompatibility value of 2 with LDAP signing disabled.

Quick Intro As an electrical engineer with a passion for electronics, I have recently been reverse engineering and researching commonly deployed edge and IoT devices found in critical use environments.

While the core concepts aren’t new, I believe the use of ADCS for domain computer takeover through Virtual Account abuse is previously undocumented/unexplored route to achieving your goals.

We all know the classic RID 500 administrator account, the one who’s able to use NTLM authentication even with “Protected user” membership and is your go to during delegation attacks but there’s a kink in this lateral movement free for all; The Domain Con…
