: day 24d: Today was research day. Attended a webinar on web hacking with some good links to resources. This one gave me a lot of good threads: github.com/dafthack/CloudPente Which is good, I've got some scope to nail down the next week or so, so this should help.

: day 23d : Confirmed pktmon was not going to be in-play for my objective tooling. Wireshark is in the software catalog, so explored ways to use sccm at the command line. Still have a ways to go. Was able to enumerate part of the software catalog, but a lot of it wasn't visible. Including wireshark--I think tshark is installed with it, so that's my goal.

: day 22d : Figured out my goof on 4800/4801. It's Lock/Unlock. Played around with schedtask to get a valid task on unlock. Took some experimentation, but got there. Got a good example exported as xml, so the next trick is writing a script to establish persistence after initial access. Concurrently I need to write the info gathering script(s).

: day 21d : Tinkered with schedtask and eventviewer. Exported a task set to go off of 4801 (Previous post said 4800, because another Windows 10 used this. So, gonna have to unpack that weirdness...) I imported it on another box, but no joy. Perms issue. Redid it in the context of the schedtask app and import worked, but stuck it in an unexpected location. Tried to run as system instead of my defined user... ...so, that's interesting. ...?

: day 20d : Worked on Jet fortress. Got another flag. More php tricks.

: day 19d : Worked on new release, investigation and managed to get user and root. I used to be strong in perl... ...it was in the last century, though! LOL.

: day 18d : Looked at MITRE ATT&CK technique T1547.001 (attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1) for more scoop on scheduled tasks and run keys. Poked at schedtsk and powershell commands for tasks. Not seeing how to use cli to set up a task triggering off of eventid 4800. I found this article, cyber.wtf/2022/06/01/windows-r, which suggests doing it manually on a lab box, export it, and then import via cli on the target. So, this will be something to lab up.

: day 17d : Poking around some more at . Scheduled Tasks is fun. Out of the box, users can do this. Should they in a business environment? Extra fun, via Scheduled Tasks or via Event Viewer, a task can be set up to trigger of Event IDs. Like event id 4800, which is when a user unlocks their workstation... Me likey.

: day 16d : Looked at establishing w/via registry run and runonce and via Startup. Only the beginning, really. are you watching those keys and folders?

: day 13d : Took a crack at Fortress lab Jet. I'm about a third of the way through. I keep breaking the box trying to get the next flag. Reckon that's a hint what I'm doing is the wrong path for this one.

: day 12d : Banged around on release arena's stocker box. It's rated easy, but the foothold was new territory for me, so not too easy. Learned some new stuff, so that's good.

: day11d : More . Watched a couple of videos on artifact kit. Weird how Mudge said in one of the videos to not use or stay in rundll32 or svchost, but that's exactly how artifact kit rolls. I've got some more to figure out with that one. Also watched a couple of viddys on beacon object files--I suspect *that* is going to be something to explore more of.

: day 10d : Banged around with some more today. Put my wrapper testing for userid and hostname around a call to get a payload and those bits worked--after disabling the protections on the target box. Need to troubleshoot my flags on pktmon to get that working right. Downloaded the arsenal scripts and next action will be to take that apart to understand. Must. Figure. Out. Obfuscation.

: day 9d : Little thin today. Threat modelling galore. Some time at an meetup talking to a peer re: and . Good to have a sounding board!

: Day 8d : Watched more of Red Team Operations with from Raphael Mudge. Finished Initial Access and watched Post Exploitation. Likely going to need to watch that last one again. Some of the info is beyond what I've had to work with before. Malleable C2 profiles may take some time to get good at.

: Day 7d : Kept chipping away at new release broscience. Good challenge for testing. Recognized an top 10 vulnerability, but I needed a nudge on how to get ZAP to help me exploit it--Replacer, ftw. Still have some enumeration to do to figure out initial access. Incremental progress is still progress...

: Day 6d: Continued working on new release bioscience. Went down some enumeration rabbit holes. Found some usernames. Still need to figure out initial access.

: Day 5d : Worked on new release broscience. (Went to a basketball game today, which took a lot of time. M-I-Z!)

: Day 4d : Today's efforts on this were thin. Took a stab at using to write a draft of my script and it's going to be a good place to start.
