I’ve not slept well for the last week and my brain is hurting, so I thought I would see if I can take our lovely new SKYNET overload AI “CHATGPT” and make it do all my work for me!
A common vulnerability in systems like Active Directory is where a system administrator writes a password in the description field. So the easy answer to this is DO NOT DO THIS. However during penetration testing we want to check. There’s tons of ways to do this but I thought I’d ask our AI roboto to help, so let’s see!

Some friends and I did some testing this evening with TOX clients. We wanted to take a look at PERSEC/OPSEC considerations for using TOX. I also had a sneaky suspicion that it might out of the box leak more than people would appreciate (just a hunch and you don’t know until you test right!).
So, we setup a test. In the test we had:

Whilst the common person will largely link the words “hacker/hackers” to criminal the reality is hackers are scientists/artists/creators/ComputerOperators and the choice of being a criminal or not is down to actions and consequences. So the debate about if you identify as “hacker” does that make you a criminal, well it’s nonsense isn’t it. I could call myself a pony but it won’t make me one, much like I could call myself a criminal and I could be entirely law abiding.

Do you ever get the feeing you are being watched? What about listening to it? Do you ever talk about a subject and then see it appear in adverts despite never using a computer to search for it?
Well don’t worry there’s lots of reasons as to why this can occur, and whilst you might want to think someone is spying on you, the truth is they probably aren’t looking for you, but they might be harvesting your data.

I was pottering about (not like a wizard, more like a cold infected zombie!) and an email hit my mailbox with the “Head of Cyber Architecture” at BA. I have no intention of applying but I thought.. I wonder if this is a good exercise to show people how I would go about the exercise? Well to even begin this I need to write down some notes. So I guess here we go… how far I get into this “fantast football” style scenario who knows, but hopefully it will show some people how I might do things! First up let’s look at the raw requirement:

The loss of availability Ransomware causes is enough to make your day/week/s bad, the loss of data, bad month/quarter or longer.
Lockbit posted “Royal Mail need new negotiator.” Followed by “ALL AVAILABLE DATA PUBLISHED !”
What we actually found is that they published the chat history:

There are major questions that must be answered here!
Clearly this is for penetration testing, not for evil! So if you have to pentest Office 365 you might want to be attacking the authentication services. This will be aligned to the tenant you are testing, as always make sure you have authorisation.
Deploy to your favourite LINUX instance or WSL etc.

Most organisations have hundreds to thousands of vulnerabilities. They range across the spectrum from:
The challenge comes in trying to determine how to prioritise. Which ways could we go?
Where do we start?
