TokenSmith – Bypassing Intune Compliant Device Conditional Access

Conditional Access Policies (CAPs) are the core of Entra ID’s perimeter defense for the vast majority of Enterprise Microsoft 365 (M365) and Azure environments. The core ideas of conditional access are: Require specific auth strength in scenarios where you wish to grant access Block access in undesirable scenarios If a scenario are neither covered by a or b, then the minimal auth strength (password) would be sufficient A special condition for CAP requirements is that authentication can be...

Weaponize Your Word – Malicious Template Injection

by Max Clarke | Oct 30, 2024 | Detection, Initial Access, Red Teaming, Research, Windows

Weaponize Your Word - Malicious Template Injection Historically, files sent via email have been a common initial access technique employed by threat actors. Personally, I have seen emails containing malware prove effective, and in the case of an IR (Incident Response) involving a malware infection, it would be one of the first places I would look to identify the source of compromise. There are many techniques for bypassing an email solution to deploy malware on an endpoint, however an old...

Adversary at the Door – Initial Access and what’s currently on the menu

by Patryk Zajdel | Aug 20, 2024 | Initial Access, Red Teaming

Based on the data from the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2024, phishing with malicious links or malware remains the most common initial access vector, followed by impersonation. The challenge with impersonation attacks is that current technology often struggles to accurately determine the purpose of a website. Although checks on domain maturity, reputation, categorization, and certificates are performed, a skilled adversary can still create sophisticated phishing infrastructure that hosts...

SSH Tunnelling to Punch Through Corporate Firewalls – Updated take on one of the oldest LOLBINs

by Sunny Chau | Aug 13, 2024 | Adversary Infrastructure, Initial Access, Red Teaming

In my formative days of learning network hacking, SSH tunnelling was amongst the first tunnelling techniques that I learnt. I still remember trying to repeatedly decode my notes and diagrams on the rather cumbersome syntax of single port forwarding with the -L and -R flags, which at the time was taught as “the way to do it”. If your foothold is (luckily) a Linux server, then you’re blessed with the -D flag to spin up a SOCKS proxy on the foothold itself to access the network via proxychains....

How Cloud Migration is Affecting AppSec – A Red Teamer’s Perspective

by Max Corbridge | Jul 4, 2024 | Application Security, Azure Cloud, Azure DevOps, Cloud Red Team, Initial Access, Jumpsec, Red Teaming

Introduction I’ve recently spoken at several conferences about the changes that are underway within red teaming as a result of cloud migration. My team and I have been delivering majority cloud red team work over the last year and the differences are becoming more apparent by the day. One point I’ve mentioned as ‘controversial’ at several of these events is that cloud migration has actually made AppSec more important than ever. I went some way to trying to explain why I think this is during my...

WASM Smuggling for Initial Access and W.A.L.K. Tool Release

by Francesco Iulio | May 31, 2024 | Initial Access, Red Teaming

TL;DR This blog post introduces Web Assembly (WASM) as a powerful alternative to traditional web technologies, highlighting its appeal to cybersecurity professionals for evading security measures for initial access. WASM has been observed being leveraged in the wild as a new payload delivery avenue which can land payloads in a hardened email inbox or instant messaging chats. A new tool, W.A.L.K. (Web Assembly Lure Krafter), is released alongside this blogpost to automate the generation of...

Why sneak when you can walk through the front door – A Love letter to Password Spraying against M365 in Red Team Engagements

by Sunny Chau | May 2, 2024 | Azure Cloud, Cloud Red Team, Initial Access

In 2023 through 2024, JUMPSEC's red team gained access to Microsft 365 (M365) environments of sophisticated clients during adversarial engagements with an approach that breathes life into the decades-old technique of password spraying. With threat actors increasingly using similar approaches in the wild, being able to compromise the even likes of Microsoft themselves, it is my opinion that red teams might benefit from incorporating some of these techniques into their initial access arsenal, or...
