[21:47:11] <Brian-AKA-Zuul> what up

[21:47:14] <halr9000> Brian-AKA-Zuul we were talking about you

[21:47:14] <Brian-AKA-Zuul> you were?

[21:47:34] <halr9000> haha we were totally not mocking you that bad

[21:51:58] <Josh_Atwell> Mike looks at sql tables and sees blondes, brunettes, redheads :)

[22:07:20] <StartAutomating> I like it. You should go for a "Sam Spade" themed look

[22:07:42] <halr9000> The only look that I can do is "Blue Steel"

[22:16:33] <ToENuFF> ## Correction to my question - Can you move the master, model, msdb mdf and ldf to specific drives and directories with your tool?

[22:12:29] <StartAutomating> ## what sort of styles of automation did you have do to (screen scrape / command line drive / data files/ existing scripts?)

[22:12:48] <cmill19> ##how is hard/easy is it to add/remove tasks to SQLSPADE

[22:15:37] <StartAutomating> ## Is it XML ? Does it store data securely?

hr> can you kick off remote installs?

[22:17:36] <cmill19> #Have your tried server core

[22:17:37] <StartAutomating> ## Can you make that order customizable ? How much of the tech is specific to SQL server and how much is general automation?

hr> HTML log? Why?

[22:21:49] <cmill19> ##how does the html log work on server core

[21:51:04] <Vern_Anderson> ## How does he get around the execution policy remotely?

[21:51:32] <LeeHolmes> "Post Exploitation" - an important point is that PowerShell is a glorious language to do what he could have already done in other ways

[21:52:04] <LeeHolmes> Excel macros can also do all the stuff Syringe does

[21:54:47] <LeeHolmes> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722487.aspx

[21:54:53] <LeeHolmes> "Ten immutable laws of security"

[21:55:04] <LeeHolmes> #1: If a bad guy can persuade you to run his program on your computer, it's not your computer anymore

[22:00:28] <pcgeek86> halr9000: Did Matt discover any WMI vulns during pen testing?

[22:00:32] <LeeHolmes> VBA (excel) macro to do what he just did:

[22:00:33] <LeeHolmes> Declare Function CreateRemoteThread Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hProcess As Long, lpThreadAttributes As Long, ByVal dwStackSize As Long, ByVal lpStartAddress As Long, ByVal lpParameter As Long, ByVal dwCreationFlags As Long, lpThreadId As Long) As Long

[22:01:51] <LeeHolmes> Does he consider PowerShell a vulnerability, or does it just make it easier to do what he could otherwise have done?

[22:03:22] <pcgeek86> ## Did Matt discover any WMI vulnerabilities during his testing?

The Question

Super Power: Omnipotence!
