Today’s soap box is an absolute cracker. We’re talking to Andy Robbins, the principal product architect at SpecterOps and one of the three original creators of the original open source version of Bloodhound. If you don’t know what Bloodhound is, it’s a tool that grabs Active Directory information and turns it into a navigable graph. So if you’re an attacker you land on a network, enumerate directory information, and then map out a path to domain admin. Bloodhound has been extremely popular with red teamers for years – to the point that it’s just a standard tool in the red team toolkit. But the team behind Bloodhound is now turning their attention to making Bloodhound a defensive tool as well as an offensive tool.

In this interview we’re chatting with the founder of Greynoise Intelligence, Andrew Morris. Greynoise operates a global network of sensors that collect data on things like mass scanning, exploitation and reconnaissance. The idea is if your SOC gets an alert from a particular IP you can see if it’s associated with mass scanning or exploitation, or if it’s something that’s just targeting you. And as you’ll hear, there are other use cases also, but we’re talking about a few things with Andrew today. He talks about being able to selectively port forward attacks targeting his sensor network to a data centre running the services being targeted, about the ESXiArgs ransomware attack and more. Enjoy!
