Demonstrating ClickJacking with Jack
Jack is a tool I created to help build Clickjacking PoC’s. It uses basic HTML and Javascript and can be found on github, https://github.com/sensepost/Jack
To use Jack, load Jack’s HTML,CSS and JS files using the method of your choice and navigate to Jack’s index.html.
Jack comes with three additional pages; sandbox.html, targetLogin.html and targetRead.html. targetRead.html can be used to demonstrate Clickjacking that reads values from a page and sandbox.html is used to display the Clickjacking demonstration. Jack by default loads the “Read” html page with default CSS and Styles.
DefCon 22 – Practical Aerial Hacking & Surveillance
Hello from Las Vegas! Yesterday (ed: uh, last week, my bad) I gave a talk at DefCon 22 entitled ‘Practical Aerial Hacking & Surveillance‘. If you missed the talk the slides are available here. Also, I’m releasing a paper I wrote as part of the talk entitled ‘Digital Terrestrial Tracking: The Future of Surveillance‘, click here to download it.
Whiskey shot!
The Snoopy code is available on our GitHub account, and you can join the mailing list here. Also, congratulations to @AmandersLPD for winning our #SnoopySensor competition! You can see the output of our *amazing* PRNG in action below: I’ll update this post to point to the DefCon video once they’re released. In the meantime, the specifications of my custom quadcopter I had on stage are below:
SensePost partners with Paterva to offer improved security intelligence
We’ve been big fans of Maltego and the team at Paterva for a very long time now, and we frequently use this powerful tool for all kinds of fun and interesting stuff, like
Using Maltego to explore threat & vulnerability data; Snoopy: A distributed tracking and profiling framework, ‘Scraping’ time servers; Using Maltego to Data Mine Twitter; and even an analyse on the Use of Social Media by ISIS. We go way back with Andrew and Roelof, who was in fact a founder of SensePost, so today we’re super excited to be able to announce a new, strengthened partnership with them under which we have been accredited as an Approved Maltego Solutions Provider. Basically this means the that with Paterva’s help we plan to use the powerful Maltego toolset to become better at our job – that is to provide information and information systems to our customer with which they can make sound security decisions. Here’s the official news:
The SensePost Academy: Wrecking Balls
There is a serious skills shortage in our industry. There are just not enough skilled hackers out there to fill all the open positions. In November of last year, I proposed a new approach for us at SensePost to address these concerns. I looked at what we could do as a company to ensure the next generation of hackers were being educated correctly (no, it’s not about how you use a tool) and moulded into what we, at SensePost, perceive to be good penetration testers.
SensePost Challenge – Winners and Walkthrough
We recently ran our Black Hat challenge where the ultimate prize was a seat on one of our training courses at Black Hat this year. This would allow the winner to attend any one of the following:
BlackOps – Our intermediate pentesting course Infrastructure Bootcamp – Introduction to pwning over the Internet Mobile Bootcamp – Introduction to mobile hacking Web Application Bootcamp – Introduction to web app hacking The challenge was extremely well received and we received 6 successful entries and numerous other attempts. All the solutions were really awesome and we saw unique attacks, with the first three entrants all solving the challenge in a different way.
Hacking Challenge: Drive a tank through it
At SensePost we get to enjoy some challenging assessments and do pretty epic things. Some days it feels like the only thing that could make it better would be driving tanks while doing it. The best hacks normally make their way into our training courses as practical exercises where students get to replicate (and improve on) these hacks. However, we know that there isn’t always room for all the epicness and unfortunately not everyone can attend the training. So we put some into a challenge for you. We’ve taken a few recent hacks and rolled them into one challenge, can you crack it?
Release the hounds! Snoopy 2.0
Friday the 13th seemed like as good a date as any to release Snoopy 2.0 (aka snoopy-ng). For those in a rush, you can download the source from GitHub, follow the README.md file, and ask for help on this mailing list. For those who want a bit more information, keep reading.
What is Snoopy? Snoopy is a distributed, sensor, data collection, interception, analysis, and visualization framework. It is written in a modular format, allowing for the collection of arbitrary signals from various devices via Python plugins.
Using Maltego to explore threat & vulnerability data
This blog post is about the process we went through trying to better interpret the masses of scan results that automated vulnerability scanners and centralised logging systems produce. A good example of the value in getting actionable items out of this data is the recent Target compromise. Their scanning solutions detected the threat that lead to their compromise, but no humans intervened. It’s suspected that too many security alerts were being generated on a regular basis to act upon.
Associating an identity with HTTP requests – a Burp extension
This is a tool that I have wanted to build for at least 5 years. Checking my archives, the earliest reference I can find is almost exactly 5 years ago, and I’ve been thinking about it for longer, I’m sure.
Finally it has made it out of my head, and into the real world!
Be free! Be free!
So, what does it do, and how does it do it?
The core idea for this tool comes from the realisation that, when reviewing how web applications work, it would help immensely to be able to know which user was actually making specific requests, rather than trying to just keep track of that information in your head (or not at all). Once you have an identity associated with a request, that enables more powerful analysis of the requests which have been made.
BootCamp Reloaded Infrastructure
Why Infrastructure Hacking Isn’t Dead
If you work in IT Security you may have heard people utter the phrase,
“Infrastructure hacking is dead!”
We hear this all the time but in all honesty, our everyday experience of working in the industry tells a completely different story.
With this in mind we’ve decided to factor out our “infrastructure related h@x0ry” from our Bootcamp Course and create a brand spanking new one, completely dedicated to all things ‘infrastructure’.
