Using a Mythic agent to optimize penetration testing
- Researchers are using post-exploitation frameworks like Mythic to enhance penetration testing practices to stay ahead of threat actors.
- A proactive approach in learning new technologies and techniques employed by threat actors is crucial for security professionals.
- Kaspersky emphasizes detecting tools and techniques used by threat actors in real-world attacks for enhanced security.
- Behavioral analysis, exploit prevention, and fileless threats protection are integral in countering sophisticated attacks.
- Layered security solutions like EDR, NDR, and XDR are essential for quick detection and response to potential threats.
- Pentesters face challenges due to the detectability of popular tools by security solutions.
- Open-source pentesting frameworks like Sliver and Havoc have limitations in payload size and stability.
- Balancing in-house solutions and open-source tools is crucial for effective pentesting.
- Pentesting payloads are divided into modules to manage execution and maintain covert communications.
- The Stage 1 module of the pentesting payload requires dynamic functionality, minimal system traces, and compliance with OPSEC principles.
