Given its functionality as a multifaceted toolset, there are some features of Core Impact that users may not have taken advantage of. In this post, we’ll talk about SOCKS tunneling.

Core Impact Exploit Library Additions 

Core Impact Updates NTMLrelayx MultiRelay and Keep-Relaying Support The latest update to Impacket 0.12 introduces the MultiRelay and keep-relaying modes, allowing users to run relays for extended periods and analyze captured connections for each target. The NTLMrelayx module will continuously relay new incoming connections until manually stopped.

According to NordPass, the average user maintains an average of 168 logins for personal purposes, and no less than 87 for the workplace. This is an extraordinary amount to keep safe, and threat actors realize that it’s only a matter of time before users make a wrong move and enter those credentials somewhere they’re not supposed to. And this is why, inevitably, they manage to swipe them and sneak into an undisclosed network.  

Core Impact Exploit Library AdditionsOne of Core Impact’s most valuable features is its certified exploit library. Fortra’s Core Security has a team of expert exploit writers that conduct research, evaluating and prioritizing the most relevant vulnerabilities in order to update the library with critical and useful exploits.

Most ransomware prevention advice focuses on antivirus software and other defenses, such as having good detection and response (DR) mechanisms. All of these are important. But with the advanced level of ransomware today, you also need to take measures that test your defenses and DR strategies to ensure the measures you have in place will hold up to a real-life advanced attack.

Core Impact 21.6 is now available. This release sees the introduction of the Connection Store, new reporting features, a newer UI for the entities Quick Information panel, a series of quality-of-life changes and more.

Your organization might have many cybersecurity defenses in place, but defenses alone are not enough to protect you from today’s multi-faceted cyberattacks.  Proactively adding a layer of offensive security assessment and testing helps you pinpoint your system weaknesses before they are exploited.  Proactive security measures help you stay ahead of attackers by:

Do you know the difference between internal pen tests, external pen tests, and wireless pen tests? It matters.

Core Impact UpdatesNew UI and Usability Improvements for Reports The Core Impact Reports have been modernized, with data reviewed to improve its actionability and user friendliness.

Cybersecurity budgets are beginning to get cut across the country, and organizations are faced with tough choices about what should stay and what should go. As security budgets face extra scrutiny and potential cuts, it’s critical to evaluate the cost and benefits of each security practice. It can be difficult to define the value of proactive security solutions like pen testing, as a precise ROI is hard to determine. After all, how does one quantify attacks that were prevented?

Core Impact UpdatesSMB NTLM Information Dumper This module improves the reconnaissance step for Active Directory testing, specifically gathering NTLM information using SMB/RPC protocols to prepare NTLMrelayx Man-in-the-middle attacks. Among other information, it retrieves: 

A common tactic of attackers trying to breach an environment is to use an exploit against a known vulnerability in an application or device present in a targeted infrastructure. Exploiting a vulnerability can provide an attacker with privileges or capabilities they would not normally be granted.

We sat down with John Stahmann, CISSP and Director of Sales Engineering for Offensive Security and Infrastructure Protection at Fortra, and asked him what he had learned after more than 20 years in the industry about the pitfalls, hacks, and little-known facts of offensive security.

Core Impact UpdatesDuring the month of February, updates have been made to Core Impact to enhance its functionality. New modules have been added to perform Active Directory attacks taking advantage of new features from the latest version of Impacket.

NTLM (NT Lan Manager) relay attacks are still a significant threat to the security of Windows based networks. Though it is a well-known attack method that has been around for many years, it is no less dangerous than when it first emerged. In fact, it has been an attack method that is currently popular with “aggressive” hacking groups, including the Russian APT28. These groups have successfully used relay attacks to target multiple high-value targets worldwide.

When hashing out your offensive security strategy, it’s not all about winning – especially when you’re role-playing as the hacker.  

One of Core Impact’s most valuable features is its certified exploit library. Fortra’s Core Security has a team of expert exploit writers that conduct research, evaluating and prioritizing the most relevant vulnerabilities in order to update the library with critical and useful exploits.  Additionally, the QA team creates its own clean environment to validate each exploit before its release to ensure our standards and validate that it is safe and ready to use.

How the justice system deals with cybercrime is still relatively new and finding its footing. How cybercriminals are leveraging the legal system is relatively new, too.
