BHIS Podcast: Weaponizing Corporate Intel: This Time, It’s Personal!

May 10, 2019

Lately, it seems like recon is just not getting as much love as it should. Well, time to change that. In this podcast, we discuss some new tips and tricks... And!!!! We released a new tool -- FireProx

Strategically targeting a corporation requires deep knowledge of their technologies and employees. Successfully compromising an organization can depend on the quality of reconnaissance a tester performs up front. Often times testers only resort to using publicly available tools which can overlook critical assets.

In this one-hour BHIS podcast, we begin by examining some commonly overlooked methods to discover external resources. Next, we show how to discover employees of a target organization and quickly locate their social media accounts. Finally, we strategically identify and weaponize personal information about the employees to target the organization directly using new attack techniques.

Listeners will learn an external defense evasion method, a new process to gain credentialed access, and we'll give a demo on a newly released tool — FireProx!

While the approach is designed to assist offensive security professionals, the webcast will be informative for technical and non-technical audiences; demonstrating the importance of security-awareness for everyone
