    Booby Trapping IBM i
    Post-exploitation is a crucial element of any attack aiming for realistic objectives, so it is no surprise that the topic is extensively researched, resulting in a trove of information that defenders can rely on to design and implement countermeasures. Unfortunately, owners of IBM i systems do not have the luxury of access to such information right now. This was one of the main ideas we discussed with Ben Williams of Chilli IT, who was kind enough to introduce us to IBM’s Brunch and Learn webcast last week, where we discussed our penetration testing experiences from “the POWER island”.  ( 4 min )

    Read NTFS permissions: View read, write, and deny access information with AccessEnum
    Reading NTFS permissions for files and folders on a Windows device to find misconfiguration can be a cumbersome and time-consuming task. Basically, there are two options for accomplishing the task. Either you can read NTFS permissions for every scanned object and analyze the results, or you can find misconfigured permissions and list only the differences. Let me show you how to do the latter with the help of AccessEnum, a GUI tool from the Sysinternals Suite.

    Attacking Visual Studio for Initial Access
    In this blog post we will demonstrate how compiling, reverse engineering or even just viewing source code can lead to compromise of a developer’s workstation. This research is especially relevant in the context of attacks on security researchers using backdoored Visual Studio projects allegedly by North Korean actors, as exposed by Google. We will show that these in-the-wild attacks are only the tip of the iceberg and that backdoors can be hidden via much stealthier vectors in Visual Studio projects. This post will be a journey into COM, type libraries and the inner workings of Visual Studio. In particular, it serves the following goals: Exploring Visual Studio’s attack surface for initial access attacks from a red teamer’s perspective.

    The Case For Improving Crypto Wallet Security
    Anatomy Of A Modern Day Crypto Scam A large number of today’s crypto scams involve some sort of phishing attack, where the user is tricked into visiting a shady/malicious web site and connecting their wallet to it. The main goal is to trick the user into signing a transaction which will ultimately give the attacker control over the user’s tokens. Usually, it all starts with a tweet or a post on some Telegram group or Slack channel, where a link is sent advertising either a new yield farming protocol boasting large APYs, or a new NFT project which just started minting. In order to interact with the web site, the user would need to connect their wallet and perform some confirmation or authorization steps. Let’s take a look at the common NFT approve scam.

    20 years of Software Security: threats and defense strategies evolution
    Software security has come a long way in the past two decades. With the advent of new technologies and a rapidly evolving threat landscape, defending against cyber attacks has become more challenging than ever before. We recently presented on the evolution of software security threats and defense strategies at the Security Summit in Milan on 15th March 2023. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the key takeaways from the presentation. In the early 1990s, the Internet was still in its infancy, and most people accessed it through their workstations or personal computers. Security threats were relatively simple, and malware and viruses were typically spread through floppy disks or infected email attachments. As the Internet became more ubiquitous, so did the security threats. In the early…  ( 13 min )

    Can’t uninstall app: Delete or change Windows apps that have been flagged as non-removable
    If you can't uninstall a Windows app, the ARPNOREMOVE property might be the reason. When installing software on Windows devices, common deployment mechanisms such as Configuration Manager can set a custom property to prevent users from deleting the package. Setting the ARPNOREMOVE property results in the RegisterProduct action blocking the program's uninstall string from being written to the Registry.

    SSRF Cross Protocol Redirect Bypass
    Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is a fairly known vulnerability with established prevention methods. So imagine my surprise when I bypassed an SSRF mitigation during a routine retest. Even worse, I have bypassed a filter that we have recommended ourselves! I couldn’t let it slip and had to get to the bottom of the issue. Introduction Server Side Request Forgery is a vulnerability in which a malicious actor exploits a victim server to perform HTTP(S) requests on the attacker’s behalf. Since the server usually has access to the internal network, this attack is useful to bypass firewalls and IP whitelists to access hosts otherwise inaccessible to the attacker. Request Library Vulnerability SSRF attacks can be prevented with address filtering, assuming there are no filter bypasses. One of t…  ( 4 min )
