Things Have Changed Since the 90s
![Page 6: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Overview
Goal: Break the mindset of “Scan then Exploit”
Cover 5 ways we commonly break into a network:
1. Phishing
2. Web Application Vulnerabilities
3. Multicast Name Resolution Poisoning
4. SMB Relay Attacks
5. Account Compromise
![Page 7: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

![Page 8: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How to Go Beyond a Scan
1. Mindset: Fail 1000s of times and Continue Trying
2. Recon + Mapping: Find Systems + Content Others Have Missed
3. Automated Testing: Run the appropriate tool for the job
4. Manual Testing:
Identify, Understand, and Fuzz all Areas of Input
Research all Version Specific Vulnerabilities
Combine Findings, Remove False Positives, and Abuse Features
5. Reporting: Highlight Business Impact
![Page 9: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Phishing
[surprise] Phishing actually works. [/surprise]
Here is the process we generally follow:
1. Planning: Goals, ROE, what happens when the user clicks?
2. Determine Scenario: Ransomware, Targeted, etc.
3. Determine Phishing Domains
4. Find Vulnerabilities: Email Spoofing
5. Execute the Engagement

![Page 10: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Phishing: Planning
Work with the customer to understand their needs for the Phishing
campaign (Compliance, Part of a larger engagement, etc.)
We prefer to send email via Python (smtp module)
We generally perform these three types of engagements:
1. Click Analysis: Determine how many users clicked a link
2. Credential Gathering: Prompt for Credentials
3. Execute Code: PowerShell, Office Macros, HTAs, etc.
![Page 11: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CEOs Reaction to Opening to Phishing Email
![Page 12: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Phishing: Scenario
2 Main Types of Scenarios: Common Malware, and Targeted Attacker
UPS Tracking Ransomware: Cloned Site + Password Prompt:
![Page 13: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. Phishing: Phishing Domains
The scenario will determine what domains we leverage
If our goal is to perform a more targeted attack we will attempt use a
similar domain to the target organization and clone login portals:
breakpoint-labs.com vs. breakpoint-lab.com
If our goal is more common threat we will emulate those TTPs:
ups-pkgtracker.com
Its important to submit domains to web content filters/proxies
![Page 14: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1. Phishing: Finding Vulnerabilities
![Page 15: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1. Phishing: Finding Vulnerabilities
Outlook client – Email below is sent from a Gmail account:
![Page 16: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1. Phishing: Possible Scenarios
Click Analysis: We generally use Python to send email + create a unique
link per email to targets
Credential Grabbing: We generally use PHP to prompt for credentials
Execute Code: Usually leverage Empire (Office Macro, HTA method)
![Page 17: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Is your input being presented on the screen? -> XSS
Is your input calling on stored data? -> SQLi
Does input generate an action to an external service? -> SSRF
Does your input call on a local or remote file? -> File Inclusion
Does your input end up on the file system? -> File Upload
Does your input cause another page to load? -> Redirect Vulns
Can we enumerate technology and versions? -> Lots of Vulns
2. Web Application Vulnerabilities
![Page 18: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Web App Vulns: File Inclusion
File Inclusion vulns can lead to code execution “php include()”
Sometimes they are limited to just file inclusion “php echo()”
LFIs normally require you to get your input on disk then include
the affected resource (log poisoning)
RFIs are normally easier to exploit as you can point them to an
external resource containing your code
![Page 19: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2. Web App Vulns: Step 1
Unlinked resource “debug.php”- HTTP 200 OK and blank screen
![Page 20: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2. Web App Vulns: Step 2
Unlinked resource “debug.php”- HTTP 200 OK and blank screen
![Page 21: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Web App Vulns: Step 2
Never underestimate the power of a good lunch!
![Page 22: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2. Web App Vulns: Step 3
Parameters are fuzzed to enumerate inputs. "page=test" gives back a different
response "Failed opening 'test' for inclusion”
![Page 23: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. Web App Vulns: Step 4
Attempt to execute code: 1.php = <?php system(‘id’);?>
![Page 24: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2. Web App Vulns: Step 5
IN REAL LIFE: The web service was running as SYSTEM!
![Page 25: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3. Multicast Name Resolution Poisoning
A majority of the time internal networks will have name resolution traffic
enabled with the following protocols:
Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR)
Netbios Name (NBT-NS) services.
Multicast DNS (mDNS)
By listening, intercepting and manipulating name resolution traffic an attacker
can redirect authentication traffic and perform Man in the Middle (MITM)
attacks.
![Page 26: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Responder!
![Page 27: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. Enter Responder.py
Responder is a Python script that aids in:
Multicast Protocol Poisoning (LLMNR, NBT-NS, mDNS)
WPAD Spoofing (Web Proxy Auto Discovery) using a non authorized server as a
proxy server for all HTTP requests to the Internet.
MITM Attacks (Intercepting credential exchanges between hosts leading to
password cracking, pass the hash, SMB relay attacks, etc.)
Rouge Server Services (SMTP, IMAP, POP3, SMB, Kerberos, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS,
DNS, LDAP, SQL, etc.)
![Page 28: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
3. Responder.py - Use Case 1 Rouge Services
Syntax: ~$ responder -I eth0 -f
![Page 29: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3. Responder.py - Use Case 2 WPAD
Syntax: ~$ responder -I eth0 -bw
![Page 30: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
3. Responder.py - Use Case 3 Analyze
Syntax: ~$ responder -I eth0 -A
![Page 31: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
3. Prevent Multicast Name Communication Attacks
Preventing multicast communication attacks through:
Disable Broadcast Protocols: LLMNR (Link Local Multicast Name Resolution) and
NBNS (NetBios Name Resolution)
Prevent WPAD Poisoning w/ WPAD file entries in DNS
Segment the local networks with VLANS to prevent impact
Ensure that only NTLMv2 is in use rather than LM and NTLM
![Page 32: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
4. SMB Relay Attacks
SMB relay attacks occur once an attacker inserts themselves in
between the NTLM Challenge/Response protocol exchange.
The attacker needs the victim to initiate an HTTP or SMB connection.
This initiation can occur often from either:
LLMNR/NBNS spoofing
Automated processes attempting to authenticate to systems
(ex. patch management, antivirus updates, vulnerability scanners,
custom admin scripts, etc.)

![Page 40: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
5. Account Compromise
![Page 41: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
5. Account Compromise
Combines several vulnerabilities to demonstrate risk:
- Username enumeration (Low) +- Lack of Automation Controls (Low) +- Lack of Password Complexity Reqs (Low) =- Account Compromise (Critical)
![Page 42: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
5. Acct Comp: Username Enumeration
Password Reset Feature “Email address not found” Login Error Message “Invalid Username”’ Contact Us Features “Which Admin do you want to contact?” Timing for login Attempts: Valid = 0.4 secs Invalid = 15 secs User Registration “Username already exists” Various error messages, and HTML source Google Hacking and OSINT Sometimes the application tells you
![Page 43: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
5. Acct Comp: Automation Controls
Pull the auth request up in Burp’s Repeater and try it a few times No sign of automation controls? -> Burp Intruder
- No account lockout- Non-existent or Weak CAPTCHA- Main login is strong, but others? (Mobile Interface, API, etc.)
![Page 44: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
5. Acct Comp: Weak Passwords
We as humans are bad at passwords…here are some tricks:- Password the same as username- Variations of “password”: “p@ssw0rd”…- Month+Year, Season+Year: winter2015…- Company Name + year- Keyboard Walks – PW Generator: “!QAZ2wsx”
Lots of wordlists out there, consider making a targeted wordlist
Research the targeted user’s interests and build lists around those interests
![Page 45: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
5. Acct Comp: Default and Shared
Attempt to brute force across all the things
Brute Force Tools: Burp Suite’s Intruder, Hydra, CrackMapExec, MSF SMB
modules, Nmap, etc.
Always try default creds for any given technology
We commonly see shared Linux root creds, and shared Windows local admin
creds across the entire enterprise
![Page 46: BSides Philly Finding a Company's BreakPoint](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/588075171a28ab64028b5f2f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Final Thoughts and Tips
Use Shodan and Censys.io for external reconnaissance
Make sure you investigate shares (enum4linux)
Unlinked Content enumeration on web applications is key
Passwords written down on sticky notes? Yea usually
Can you reset a PW via the Help Desk?
Put a focus on feature abuse: What does the technology let you do? How can
you abuse that functionality?
Once you get valid credentials try them across all the things
