Meterpreter with Categorized Domains & Trusted Certs - Tradecraft Security Weekly #4

Tradecraft Security Weekly (Audio)

It is common for organizations to proxy web traffic so they can place restrictions on what websites can be visited by employees. To make the management of allowing or denying access to a large number of sites easier many web proxies utilize categorization engines to group sites into various subjects. Uncategorized sites are generally blocked. In this episode I show how it's easy to locate recently expired domains that have been categorized already, and can be utilized to get past web proxy filters. Additionally, I show how easy it is to set up a trusted certificate on the payload handler to encrypt the session using a custom cert.
