Offensive Security recently posted a 20 minute video at their blog in which they reconstructed a pentest they performed. It's an excellent video IMHO. Muts has again done a fantastic job and tried to explain every single step he took.

Penetration Testing in the real world. If you are tired of “Hacking with Netcat” webcasts or “Penetration Testing with RPC DCOM”, then this movie is for you. It’s a quick reconstruction of a Security Audit we preformed over a year ago, replicated in our labs. The video is under 20 minutes long, and highly edited – attacks rarely go as quickly and smoothly as this !

Check the video here:-

I think EHNet members can post similar videos constructing scenarios from their actual pentests. That would be an awesome resource as almost everyone has his own little tricks and we can learn from each other. Even writing articles explaining how they approached a pentest would be very useful.

Excellent demo and explanation for how they did it and the mindset they used to work into the environment. Some great work and clever thinking.

What I take from it, from the defense side, is that some simple, good practices would have stopped the attack in its tracks.

As an example, if the servers weren't allow outbound access to any locations, the tunneling would have failed. Simple controlled egress filters would have successful "saved" the target from being exploited in this way.

The OffSec folks built a replica lab environment of the actual pen test.   You can't really include the results of a live pentest in a training video.   Most clients wouldn't go for that.   I am wondering how many hours were spent on recreating the environment and creating the video.

I dunno, but based on the detail that I've heard they have in the OSCP lab (I signed up, today, for the 60-day OSCP v3,) I'd bet they did it pretty quickly.  After all, if you KNOW what you exploited, it shouldn't be too hard to recreate, right?  Wink

I showed this video to my developers.  I used it to interest them in the actual threats posed by "minor holes." It was an attempt to help them understand how a bad guy leverages various holes to gain control of the entire network.

I also showed a sanitized screenshot of sqlmap dumping a HR DB through a simple website.  This was an effort to show them the danger of reusing accounts repeatedly.

I think that the combination worked well.  I immediately received email questions and comments. 

Anyone else try this?

Thanks for sharing! downloading now and i will check it later. If it is a DCOM exploit it should be that hard to build it in a replica environment?

Hey,

@mtgarden: I have showed the video to the developers, managers and even a director where I work. I paused the video every  minute or so and explained in simple words what he was doing. It was very, very well received!!!

I will probably start demos and presentations during lunch time on topics such as "How to secure a wireless router", "SQL Injection", "How to code securely", etc...

Even if it wasn't my goal at all, it kind of put me on the map!  Grin

I encourage you guys to do the same.
