I don't mind having them put warnings when I try access a supposed "dangerous" link, but now they don't even present the option to advance anyway. This makes me worry about the future where you can't access something because someone of a higher power said No, not because it is dangerous, but because they don't want people to access.

Cool, but is it not more easier to turn it of the SmartScreen ? Maybe by registry or in edge itself? Or is it to avoid the message pops up you turn off SmartScreen ?

One possible thing MS and/or Google could do is that if it can't reach the destination of the safe browsing/smart screen DNS, it flashes an error on the screen warning about this nefarious behaviour of your local network, before it lets you to interact with any page. If you didn't do this, you might want to investigate.

Thank you for this😃 i leant something new today

Thank you, i have just built a Defender hunting query to notify us if the hosts file is modified and or if a request to a Microsoft or google domains returns an IP that's not publically routable (as its then been hijacked or sinkholes), many thanks.

Very interesting, great video bro 👍

nice work john

very interesting analysis..loved the video

Am I correct in thinking that this could be a risk in public networks as well?

I always had a weird feeling AVs blocking Bloodhound and even maybe mimikatz. I always thought about AVs that protect me from being compromised but in those cases it limits my usage of the machine. Yea, they can be used to compromise OTHER accounts and machines but it's weird that they limit me doing it even in a non AD joined machine. I want AVs to protect me from compromise and then not to moralize about what I want to do with my life!

@ThatBlueFalcon

Ай бұрын

It's within a security tool's interest to block downloads of attacker tools, including Bloodhound and Mimikatz. If an attacker gained user priveleges on a host and Microsoft allowed users to freely download hacking tools from Github, that'd be a very convenient loophole to onboard tools. It's much better to download and use those tools using a sandbox environment without Defender/security features enabled, or even better just stick to a Kali distro where this wouldn't be an issue

Thanks for more formation ⚡🐦‍🔥❤️‍🔥

can you call the download in terminal to avoid the download via browser? or does it still flag it?

John just in case if you don't have admin rights on a laptop like your office laptop in that case that Joe solution is more scalable than that of yours. But, still you are the King.

great Video

It's def a neat trick to stick in the tool belt and also as a mental exercise to possible defeat other security look up based measures. I think a good question here is why doesn't Microsoft and other big tech companies bypass DNS for these type of things?

Great john

I'm curious about the CRDOWNLOAD file. While it is a temp file, I am guessing to check there is enough space to complete the download, in this instance, does it download the whole file? Or does it check with google/microsoft before completing the download and then flag it? If it does, can the extension be changed to give the original file?

@mollthecoder

Ай бұрын

It's the browser temporarily saving info about the file, which can be used to start off where you left off if, for example, you lose internet for a moment. It can also be used for pausing/unpausing file downloads. That's what I know about CRDOWNLOAD, although I must admit I don't know a ton about it.

Hi John, are you planning to do a live demo about the most recent Palo Alto CVE related to Globalprotect RCE?

If you would know the licensing costs to Palo Alto you would not be asking this. It's pretty much among the lines if you need to ask how much it is you can't afford it. When I was in Uni that does co-operation with their development team we had discounted licensing to PA-220 and even price for that was eye watering.

Thanks for the video! But is there a way to bypass the verification of phishing site that was made, for example, by security team of a company to educate the personnel? It is possible of course to distribute those changes to hosts file to all assets, but this can be dangerous, since no verification will be made for real malicious sites.

@mollthecoder

Ай бұрын

If the company makes the phishing site for personnel only then it really shouldn't end up on a SmartScreen or Safe Browsing list.

You can also block the call to their connection test server and you device will have internet access but the Network Icon will change to "No internet access"

Interesting.

I wish to see what data browser sends to these addresses

If I need to download blocked files, I simply wget, or curl them.

Microsoft traditionally says that local administrator access being required for anything nullifies any merit to it as a vulnerability.

Isn't the hosts file a bad option nowadays, because Windows regularly reset hosts files?

you think the browser would notify you "hey some wierd stuff is going on with your dns settings we cant access smartscreen/url screening but your connected.. 🤔 it could just check another dns name for internet check and use those domains its checking as a sanity check for tampering

@ToniMorton

Ай бұрын

i think a solution would be a notification explaining your dns settings may have been altered or something just in the case of malware but i guess av is kinda the limit here? hmmm i feel like the browser could totally help notify the user of tampering here tho

This is exactly how I get all my streaming and other things to work on ✈️ Internet. Try it out next time you're flying

Did they really contact Microsoft? 😂it's really a basic attack. I also wouldn't call it a security bug. What do you want them to do? Prevent you from downloading any file until you fix your network? Yeah, doesn't make sense.

doesn't need to go and investigate every url just sinkhole the whole smartscreen and its subdomains with wildcard thats just saves time, unless someone wants fine grain control

This is a little bit of an issue, and good to know, but it takes a lot more in a real world scenario, and if you can do this, you can probably do something much more meaningful.

Classic host file trick

It does render the feature totally useless but it would require an attacker to have access in the first place. Even then, what would be the point of modifying a victim's host file if you already got access to the victim and smart screen doesn't even check for example, file transfers over ALL TCP sessions. I can't really see a hacker root a victim and change their host file so that the victim can download "malware" freely. It wouldn't serve the hacker any real purpose unless they are terribly bad and try to use browsers for downloading their files. It's a cool thing to break features in browsers but nothing more than that in my opinion. Good find though!

Just disable it in Edge settings.

You won't see it up here as a KZread tutorial, because Cloudflare is way more serious. If you're able to bypass Cloudflare, then they would likely pay a good amount of money for you to tell them how. Or it might get sold to a government for even more money than Cloudflare would pay, in which case it would be even better kept under wraps.

I could see a scammer using this. If they get the local user to run a script or command to modify the host file, they can then have them download malicious files.

If they get the user to run a malicious script with administrator privileges then there's no need to convince the user to download more files from their browser - the script itself could download any necessary files.
