7MS #702: Should You Hire AI to Run Your Next Pentest?
Hello friends, in today's episode I give an audio summary of a talk I gave this week at the MN GOVIT Symposium called "Should You Hire AI to Run Your Next Pentest?" It's not a pro-AI celebration, nor is it an anti-AI bashing. Rather, the talk focuses on my experiences using both free and paid AI services to guide me through an Active Directory penetration test.

7MS #700: Pretender
Today is episode 700 of the 7MinSec podcast! Oh my gosh. My mom didn't think we could do it, but we did. Instead of a big blowout with huge news, giveaways and special guests, today is a pretty standard issue episode with a (nearly) 7-minute run time! The topic of today's episode is Pretender (which you can download here and read a lot more about here). The tool authors explain the motivation behind the tool: "We designed pretender with the single purpose to obtain machine-in-the-middle positions combining the techniques of mitm6 and only the name resolution spoofing portion of Responder." On a recent pentest, I used Pretender's "dry run" mode to find a hostname (that didn't exist) that a ton of machines were querying for, and poisoned requests just for that host. This type of targeted poisoning snagged me some helpful hashes that I was able to crack/relay, all while minimizing the risk of broader network disruption!
