StealthCraft: Unveiling the Path to Total Domain Domination

Posted by Alexis Diediker on Apr 2, 2025 12:05:55 PM

With EDR (Extended Detection and Response) becoming more necessary and common, it begs the question of what tactics and techniques are evading these protections. ProCircular recently conducted a penetration test involving evasion methods that did just that by successfully bypassing EDR protections by leveraging lay-of-the-land tools and incident response techniques. Our objective was to achieve full domain compromise within the targeted network, demonstrating the vulnerabilities and potential weaknesses that need to be addressed for robust cybersecurity. A walkthrough of the attack can be examined below.

KAPE: The Weaponization of DFIR Tools

Posted by Alexis Diediker on Apr 1, 2025 9:43:16 AM

As businesses evolve to achieve higher security maturity, threat actors and penetration testers must also rise to the challenge. Modern third-party security applications such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Windows Defender products, and application allowlists have made offensive tools obsolete. Gone are the days when all a penetration tester needed was a remote shell or desktop connection to extract user data and credentials from local machines and domain controllers. Instead of fighting against signature-based and obfuscation methods, attackers are turning to digital forensics incident response (DFIR) tools, like KAPE, to get the dirty work done for them. After all, you never have to sneak into the party if the bouncer thinks you’re already on the list.

Staying Vigilant Against Cyber Threats in Healthcare

Posted by ProCircular Team on Aug 2, 2024 12:12:52 PM

Recently, the American Hospital Association warned that Black Basta, a known ransomware group, would be accelerating attacks within the healthcare sector. The group gained notoriety for their sophisticated attack methods and high-profile targets and typically operates by infiltrating a network, exfiltrating sensitive data, and then encrypting the victim's files.

Healthcare organizations can stay vigilant against threat actors by adopting a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that incorporates regular testing and 24/7 monitoring. ProCircular also recommends the following:
