Obfuscating Launchers to Limit Detection
Last time, I provided a method for encrypting macro payloads (https://warroom.rsmus.com/encrypt-macros-bypass-sandboxes/) to prevent them from executing correctly in the event they were analyzed in a sandbox. On a somewhat-related note, in this post, I will discuss another method which can help ensure your payload makes it successfully to your target: obfuscation. First, ... READ MORE
Reconnaissance with Recon-ng
Intro to Recon-ng Reconnaissance is the first and arguably the most critical phase of any penetration test. It is the first step of the Attacker’s Methodology, and depending on how it is done will define how the test proceeds. This information gathering phase can be done countless different ways, but if it is not done correctly, you end up with very limited information and ... READ MORE
