Is Cybersecurity an Unsolvable Problem?
@slashdot

"Cybersecurity is not a primarily technological problem that requires a primarily engineering solution," Shapiro writes. "It is a human problem that requires an understanding of human behavior." That's his mantra throughout the book: "Hacking is about humans." And it portends, for Shapiro, "the death of 'solutionism."

Hacker 101 - Null Shares

Found yourself on a corporate network? Wanna see what you can hack into?

Going to post some simple and easy hacks that get me a lot of wins. I'll hashtag it #Hacker101 .

Null Shares

Null shares are network folders that don't require a password.

Shared folders used to be a way to copy and paste files for corporate teams. Nowadays, folks use Sharepoint, Dropbox, MS Teams, etc.

That just means theres a bunch of old network folders and shares that everyone has forgotten about and you can hack into!

Methodology

Scan for TCP port 445 (SMB) on your network
Enumerate shares looking for ones that let you log into with the username "guest" and no password
Log in and steal files (look for config files, password text files, or custom executables with hardcoded passwords inside of them)
Pop reverse shells if the null share has READ / WRITE access

How To / Usage Examples

Lots of tools scan for null shares. I use nmap.

Two Nmap scripts (NSE) that I like to use are "smb-enum-shares" and "smb-ls".

smb-enum-shares will tell you the share name and how much access you have.

smb-ls will actually list out all of the files available. This means you validate the vulnerability by exploiting it AND you get a nice directory listing of everything you can see. Good to search through and look for interesting files without maintaining an active connection to a single host.

Usage Example:
nmap --script smb-enum-shares,smb-ls -p 445

Pop a shell on shares with WRITE access with psexec (metasploit has a good module for this) with the username "guest" and no password.

Want to connect to the share and download the file? You can use a windows host and just mount the share in Windows Explorer.

I use Linux with smbclient.

Usage Example:
smbclient //<IP Address/Share -U guest%

and then GET any file you want.

Also... ignore IPC$ shares. I won't get into it here...

Alright.... y'all have fun.

The perverse thing is that the high risk people like dissidents & journalists that need to get safer from Predator not only won't be.helped, but real advice is getting drowned out.

So, I'm watching the Lawful Masses video about the Destiny 2 cheat developer lawsuit (Bungie v Elite Boss Tech), and they called for civil RICO on the cheat developers, but also CFAA on them, for *DOWNLOADING DESTINY 2* to create their cheat program.

So, the court case, was ended in default judgment due to the defendants not appearing, after being served. But I really hope this does not get argued in court, it would be really bad if you can be hit with CFAA for lawfully downloading a program, which you then find ways to change the data in it, that's.... that's bad yo.

The only good argument in the claim Bungie made, was contract violation, due to repeatedly violating the EULA/TOS/ect, by circumventing bans by creating new accounts.

The move comes after Motherboard used an AI-powered system to clone a reporter’s voice, and then used that to fool a bank’s voice authentication security system. That investigation showed that just a few minutes of a target’s voice audio was enough to generate a clone that was convincing enough to break into a bank account, potentially putting the public at risk of such attacks, and especially those with a public presence such as politicians, journalists, podcast hosts, streamers, and more."

If you get a sales call about your information security stack, you really don't have to answer their questions about what you are using today.

I bet if I cold-called 100 companies I would have solid information about to attack 75% of them by just pretending to sell them a fake product and asking them what they are using currently and why.

#USA #Cybersecurity #DoJ #Hacking #SolarWinds: "WIRED can now confirm that the operation was actually discovered by the DOJ six months earlier, in late May 2020—but the scale and significance of the breach wasn’t immediately apparent. Suspicions were triggered when the department detected unusual traffic emanating from one of its servers that was running a trial version of the Orion software suite made by SolarWinds, according to sources familiar with the incident. The software, used by system administrators to manage and configure networks, was communicating externally with an unfamiliar system on the internet. The DOJ asked the security firm Mandiant to help determine whether the server had been hacked. It also engaged Microsoft, though it’s not clear why the software maker was also brought onto the investigation."
