Intro into a Compass Splunk App, which can be used to perform a first triage and high level analysis of Volatility results coming from multiple hosts.
This part will discuss a grey-box approach in defeating malware detection. It will discuss the relevant features used and how they are fed into a malware detection model to classify an input file. After a short theory part, we try to find out which features are especially important for malware analysis and how to modify them. Finally, we will change some of the features of our ransomware to evade our model. But before all this, it is advisable to get familiar with the file format used by our malware.
Writing good reports is key in penetration tests / security assessments, since this is the final result delivered to the customer. Vulnerabilities should be described in a way so that the customer can understand and also reproduce the issue. For web application pentests, the best way is often to show the HTTP requests and responses to explain an issue. This Burp Suite extension “Copy Request & Response” can assist you while the report.
Modern anti-malware products such as Windows Defender increasingly rely on the use of machine learning algorithms to detect and classify harmful malware. In this two-part series, we are going to investigate the robustness of a static machine learning malware detection model trained with the EMBER dataset. For this purpose we will working with the Jigsaw ransomware.
The article discusses the very basics to keep systems ready for analysis of lateral movement. We present some guidelines in form of a cheat sheet and a tool (Readinizer) that you can run, to ensure that everything is set up as in the guidelines provided.

Since a few years, we – as pentesters – (and probably bad guys as well) make use of NTLM relaying a lot for privilege escalation in Windows networks.
In this article, we propose adding support for the RPC protocol to the already great ntlmrelayx from impacket and explore the new ways of compromise that it offers.
