Apollo 2.0 is now out! 7 months and ~450,000 lines of code led to: - Dynamic Command Loading - P2P over SMB/TCP - SOCKS5 Proxying (tested w/RDP/impacket/FireFox) - "Safe" In-process Assembly Execution - User-compiled PE execution - Reduced size (~450kb) github.com/MythicAgents/Apol…
Mythic 2.3.7 is finally out! This includes an entirely new interface, tab-completable and conditional command parameters, LaTeX reporting, updated ATT&CK mappings, updated agents, and more! Check out the blog at posts.specterops.io/mythic-2… and the change log docs.mythic-c2.net/common-qa…

Ever been on an SCCM site server and *this* close to a DA pw that you couldn't decrypt for some reason? Check out my new blog looking at encryption in use within SCCM sites configured for High Availability and accompanying tooling to recover passwords: ibm.com/think/x-force/decryp…

I'm releasing a backend for multi-agent AI systems that need to model complex non-linear problems. Kafka handles async agent communication, with ingestion plugins that route data to Neo4j, Qdrant, and MinIO. Check it out on the IBM X-Force GitHub! github.com/xforcered/Agent-D…

To trigger local SYSTEM authentication for relaying to ADCS or LDAP for LPE you would usually need the printer service or EFS service to be enabled (printerbug/petitpotam). Here is an alternative without this requirement 🤠 github.com/rtecCyberSec/RAIT…

Azure Arc is Microsoft's solution for managing on-premises systems in hybrid environments. My new blog covers how it can it be identified in an enterprise and misconfigurations that could allow it to be used for out-of-band execution and persistence. ibm.com/think/x-force/identi…

Today we unveil BadSuccessor - a new no-fix Active Directory privilege escalation technique. We will explore the recently introduced dMSA feature, and show how it enables turning a very common, seemingly benign permission, into a full domain take over. akamai.com/blog/security-res…

Me and the homies are dropping browser exploits on the red team engagement 😎. Find out how to bypass WDAC + execute native shellcode using this one weird trick -- exploiting the V8 engine of a vulnerable trusted application. ibm.com/think/x-force/operat…

RemoteMonologue - A Windows credential harvesting attack that leverages the Interactive User RunAs key and coerces NTLM authentications via DCOM. Remotely compromise users without moving laterally or touching LSASS. Hope you enjoy the blog & tool drop 🤟 ibm.com/think/x-force/remote…

So I wanted to collate a bunch of different attacks you can perform via ServiceNow that we've used pretty regularly, but for which there doesn't seem to be much out there publicly.
Stumbled on ServiceNow during a red team? If not you might want to check our latest post on Red Teaming with ServiceNow by @__invictus_ mdsec.co.uk/2025/03/red-team…

New blog from me on using CLR customizations to improve the OPSEC of your .NET execution harness. This includes a novel AMSI bypass that I identified in 2023. By taking control of CLR assembly loads, we can load assemblies from memory with no AMSI scan. securityintelligence.com/x-f…

But you know what's even better? KrbRelay also works from a low privileged users perspective! 🔥🔥🔥
Finally I was finally able to reproduce RemotePotat0 from @splinter_code and @decoder_it which still works perfectly fine when relaying against SMB and choosing the correct CLSID :-) Only LDAP relaying it patched and not possible anymore. Super late but ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯🤪

If you haven't done this yet, please do! It only takes a few minutes and makes it easier for me to help you make your lives easier :)
It's that time of year again everybody! I want to know YOUR thoughts on Mythic! What did you like? What could be improved? What would you like to see next? Why do you or don't you use it? If you could change something, what would it be? surveymonkey.com/r/MythicPla… I'm all ears :)

Dopped a spicy 25-min read exploring adversarial ML 🤠 It's a mix of in-depth & light peppering of the broader field. So much I couldn’t fit (extraction, inversion, poisoning), but I hope it sparks curiosity. Made for learners no fancy background ❤️ boschko.ca/adversarial-ml/
