PenTest Aliases and Setup

I like to setup a few things when I’m building an image for a pentest.  They’re helpers that keep me honest, because without them I’d likely forget something or miss some detail, and by establishing consistent patterns I reduce that risk.  To start with, I make a consistent directory structure.  For the sake of this article, let’s call it:

/engagement

Next up, I generate some subfolders which are critical to my process:

Protocol Deep Dive: ARP

Overview

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) allows for conversion from a network layer address to a hardware layer address (e.g. from the IP address to the MAC address).  It is defined by RFC 826, and is a layer 2 protocol in the OSI model.  For simplicity, this article will refer to IP address resolutions in examples.

Prerequisites

    • Two systems that each know their own IP address and MAC address
    • A usable network layer path between the two systems
    • The sending system must know the IP address of the destination system

Identifying JTAG

This is a quick-hit post because as I’ve been working on some hardware hacking efforts I realized that while there are a lot of good resources on identifying JTAG interfaces and standards, there wasn’t really a good single page view of them.  With that in mind, I lifted the following images from the excellent resource at http://www.jtagtest.com/pinouts/ and put them into a single page view.  Full credit to JTAGtest… I just wanted something I could quickly reference.

RFI PHP Webshell Injector

Sometimes you just need a quick PHP webshell to complement your RFI vulnerability you’ve uncovered.  There are plenty of “fancy” ones with lots of features, but I prefer simple, effective, command-line equivalent access any day.  If you’re of that persuasion as well, just use this as the target of your RFI to give yourself Hermit’s Stupidly Simple WebShell (HSSWS).  Enjoy!

Search Engines

Sometimes you just need a search engine to find some data… and since every one does things differently, here’s a giant list of them:

And due credit to Wikipedia, which helped me discover many of these.  Here you’ll find everything from the usual Googles and Bings to price searches, local search engines, scientific data respositories, and more.  You just have to play with each one to figure out what it does. 🙂

All systems below were active as of 2017-05-23.

OSINT: Google and LinkedIn

This is the quick-hit version of the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) training I gave on using data from Google and LinkedIn to profile an individual or organization.  As with all of the formal training, you can use the below for a quick reference, or view the full presentation here: OSINT – Social Media (Google and LinkedIn) (basic_0x08)

Google

Note: Do not use spaces between an operator (e.g. “-”) and the thing it operates on.  For example:

bob -dylan      # No Bob Dylan results
bob - dylan     # Bob Dylan shows up in results
