NTLM relaying is a popular attack strategy during a penetration test and is really trivial to perform. Just roll up at the client site, plug your laptop into the LAN, fire up responder and ntlmrelayx, and away you go. The majority of opportunistic relays come when a user or a machine tries to access an

In Part 1, we reviewed the very simple VirtualAllocEx/WriteProcessMemory/CreateRemoteThread injection pattern. The two major OPSEC concern(s) that it had was both an RX memory region and an executing thread that were not backed by a module on disk. In this part, we’ll fix the “thread” issue by replacing the use of CreateRemoteThread with QueueUserAPC. The

If you’ve any experience with building infrastructure designed to support a red team or adversary simulation exercise, you’ll have likely come across the Red Team Infrastructure Wiki. If not, it’s a curated collection of resources for creating secure and resilient infrastructure – covering everything from high-level design considerations to step-by-step setup instructions. Just a cursory

Cobalt Strike 4.2 introduced a new set of “spawn and tunnel” commands called spunnel and spunnel_local. Shortly after release, Raphael Mudge published a blog post entitled Core Impact and Cobalt Strike Interoperability, in which he details how these can be used to tunnel Core Impact’s agent through Beacon. The CS manual also says the commands

This is the first in a short series of posts designed to explore common (remote) process injection techniques and their OPSEC considerations. Each part will introduce a different technique that will address one or more “weaknesses” previously identified. This post will analyse the most classical method of injection – the VirtualAllocEx/WriteProcessMemory/CreateRemoteThread pattern; and assumes the

In the Memory Patching AMSI Bypass post, I discussed how to patch the AmsiScanBuffer function to prevent it from returning a positive result when scanning content. That process involved: Finding the location of AmsiScanBuffer in memory. Changing the memory permissions to RWX. Copying the patched bytes across. Restoring the memory region back to RX. After

This post is a replacement for my previous 4-part series. What is AMSI? The Antimalware Scan Interface is a set of Windows APIs that allows any application to integrate with an antivirus product (assuming that product acts as an AMSI provider). Windows Defender, naturally, acts as an AMSI provider as do many third-party AV solutions.
