Attack All the Layers: What's Working during Pentests (OWASP NYC)
The document discusses various strategies and techniques used in penetration testing, highlighting the importance of such tests for compliance, risk evaluation, and breach prevention. It covers attacking protocols, password vulnerabilities, application flaws, and methods for bypassing endpoint protection, emphasizing common mitigating controls. The findings suggest that most networks, protocols, and applications need improvements to enhance security.

- 2. Introductions • Scott Sutherland ‒Principal Security Consultant @ NetSPI ‒ Twitter: @_nullbind • Karl Fosaaen ‒ Senior Security Consultant @ NetSPI ‒ Twitter: @kfosaaen We specialize in both things and stuff!
- 3. Overview • Why doCompanies Pen Test? • Attacking Protocols • Attacking Passwords • Attacking Applications • Bypassing End Point Protection • Windows Escalation • Conclusions
- 4. Why do companiespen test? • Compliance requirements • Evaluate risks associated with an acquisition or partnership • Validate preventative controls • Validate detective controls • Prioritize internal security initiatives • Proactively prevent breaches
- 5. Overview • Attacking Protocols •Attacking Passwords • Attacking Applications • Bypassing End Point Protection • Windows Escalation
- 6. Attacking protocols • ARP:Address Resolution Protocol • NBNS: NetBIOS Name Service • SMB: Server Message Block • PXE: Preboot Execution Environment • DTP: Dynamic Trunking Protocol
- 7.
- 8. Attacking protocols: ARP •General ‒MAC to IP association ‒Layer 2 • Conditions ‒Independent of user action ‒Broadcast network • Attacks ‒MITM Monitoring ‒MITM Injection ‒DOS
- 9.
- 10. Attacking protocols: ARP •Common mitigating controls: ‒ Dynamic ARP Inspection ‒ Port Security ‒ Static Routes (not recommended)
- 11. Attacking protocols: NBNS/ LLMNR NetBIOS Name Service
- 12. Attacking protocols: NBNS •General ‒ IP to hostname association ‒ Layer 5 / 7 • Constraints ‒ Dependent on user action ‒ Broadcast Network ‒ Windows Only • Attacks ‒ MITM Monitoring ‒ MITM Injection ‒ DOS
- 13.
- 14.
- 15.
- 16. Attacking protocols: NBNS •Common mitigating controls: ‒ Create a WPAD (Web Proxy Auto-Discovery) server entry in DNS ‒ Disable NBNS (recommended) • Might cause issues with legacy apps ‒ Disable insecure authentication to help • limit impact of exposed hashes ‒ Enable packet signing to help prevent • SMB Relay attacks
- 17.
- 18. Attacking protocols: SMB •General ‒ SMB is the come back kid! ‒ Layer 7 • Constraints ‒ Dependent on user action ‒ Any routable network ‒ No connecting back to originating host • Attacks ‒ Command execution ‒ Shells..aaand shells
- 19.
- 20. Attacking protocols: SMB •Historically, SMB Relay has been used to: ‒ Execute arbitrary commands ‒ Obtain shells • Lately the community has been developing tools for doing things like: ‒ LDAP queries ‒ SQL queries ‒ Exchange services ‒ Mounting file systems
- 21. Attacking protocols: SMB •Common mitigating controls: ‒ Enable packet signing to help prevent SMB Relay attacks ‒ Apply really old patches like if you missed out on the last decade…
- 22.
- 23. Attacking protocols: PXE •General ‒ DHCP • Constraints ‒ Broadcast domain • Attacks ‒ Command execution ‒ Access to file system/images
- 24. Attacking protocols: PXE •Common mitigating controls: ‒ Isolate networks ‒ Add device validation
- 25.
- 26. Attacking protocols: DTP •General ‒ 802.1Q encapsulation is in use ‒ Layer 2 • Constraints ‒ Independent of user action ‒ Trunking is set to enabled • or auto on switch port • Attacks ‒ Monitor network traffic for all VLANs, because all VLANs are • allowed on a trunk by default • *Full VLAN hopping
- 27.
- 28.
- 29.
- 30.
- 31. Attacking protocols: DTP •Common mitigating controls: ‒ Use dedicated VLAN ID for all trunking ports ‒ Disable all unused ports and place them on a non-routable VLAN ‒ Configure all user ports as access ports to prevent trunk negotiation ‒ Configure frames with two 802.1Q headers ‒ Configure strong VACLs
