Webcast: How to Build a Phishing Engagement - Coding TTP's
Building a phishing engagement is hard. While the concept is straightforward, real-world execution is tricky. Being successful takes enormous amounts of up-front setup and knowledge in quickly evolving phishing tactics. While there is always a need to craft a custom email, the most considerable amount of work is setting up an infrastructure to make it all work.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a playbook of how to set everything up to save time and prevent mistakes?
What if we coded this playbook so we could share this with others and modify our tactics when things change?
In this Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcast, we’re going to do just that. We will take a top-down look at how a phishing engagement is designed. Then we will work through coding this design, so we don’t have to keep building a phish. Lastly, we will touch on how to fly under the radar and how coding TTP’s help save time and guarantee accuracy.

Webcast: Getting Started in Pentesting The Cloud: Azure
In this Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcast, you will learn tools and techniques for performing penetration tests against Microsoft Azure environments.
Increasingly, more organizations are migrating resources to being hosted in the cloud. With this comes a greater potential for misconfiguration if there isn’t a solid understanding of the attack surface. While there are many similarities between traditional on-premises pentesting and cloud-based pentesting, the latter is an animal of its own. This webcast attempts to clear up some of the fogginess around cloud-based pentesting, specific to Microsoft Azure environments, including Microsoft 365.
In order to adequately determine the attack surface, the appropriate coverage areas are highlighted. Differences between Azure resources and Microsoft 365 can oftentimes be confusing but knowing these differences is key to helping you pivot and escalate privileges. Conditional access policies are great for defining different scenarios for how users can authenticate securely but can also be misconfigured. There are security protections for stopping certain password attacks but some of these can be bypassed. Ultimately, a methodology for testing Azure environments along with tools and techniques are presented in this talk.
36:31 – Webcast officially starts
