How to access malicious link in an enterprise environment

I am writing the techniques based on my experience. In this globe right now below mentioned two techniques used to block the advance malicious links.

SSL INSPECTION
DNS sinkhole
Use UDP connection

SSL INSPECTION

SSL inspection is a technique to decrypt all SSL/TLS connections in the perimeter device (Firewall, Web Security Device) and matching the inside web content like HTTP headers, HTML codes with the existing malware database.

How to check environment using SSL INSPCTION ?

load https://google.com, then click the lock icon at the top left side of the URL bar.

2. In the SSL Certificate the organization name mentioned as “ISSUED BY”, you can ensure that SSL Inspection enabled in Firewall/WebSecurity devices.

If not, you are free to use an HTTPS connection with your Malicious link. you would not get the block.

DNS sinkhole

Still the malicious link is blocking by firewall check the system DNS .

If system DNS using local IP address/ In house DNS server, replace with Global DNS servers like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.

once changed the DNS setting flush the DNS of the system by the below mention commends on CMD.

Type “ipconfig /flushdns” and press Enter.

Mostly the Malware does not contain newly registered domain details. you use newly registered domains for exploitation purposes.

Use UDP connection

Host UDP connection /UDP tunnel service from Control and command servers to bypass the old or not upgraded security devices.

A reverse TCP connection is recommended to host a control server inside the organization.

Most of the Social Engineering tools using this technique to escape from security checks.

My Life as Information security engineer Chapter 1: Tools

Hi folks, here I am going to share the tools list that I am using in my daily life cycle. NMAP Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is a free and open-source (license) utility for network discovery and security auditing. Basically, I will use it to discover the open ports and closed ports where I did Port Mapping in firewalls. We can use this in the local network as well as in the WAN network. Also with help of the NSE script, we do multiple things like vulnerability check, exploitation, etc., Ref: http://www.piratesshield.com/2017/11/nmap-network-mapper-securtiy-scanner.html CURL and WGET curl is a tool to transfer data from or to a server, using one of the supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, DICT, TELNET, LDAP or FILE). Normally using this tool to analyze the website headers when my web security device blocking some dynamic content websites and to create the Application signature in IPS. Wget using to download files directly instead of opening and surfing the brow
