So you all know, or i hope you do, that Core Technologies sponsors webcasts featuring infosec icons like Ed Skoudis. I got a chance to attend a semi-recently drafted one called Secrets of America's Top Pentester's at SANS Las Vegas (also given at CDI).
The purpose? Give back to the pentesting community, help it grow, and to point out that pentesting isnt about 0-days at all.
This ppt goes through some advanced tips on:
1. Social networking and using it to make password lists
2. Pivoting via netcat and other advanced netcat foo
3. A comparison of john and rainbow tables attacks, how they work, and why we should do both
4. Pass the hash attacks
