Today we’re talking about tips to deal with stress and anxiety:

• It sounds basic, but take breaks – and take them in a different place (don’t just stay in the office and do more screen/doom-scrolling)
• I’ve never gotten to a place in my workload where I go “Ahhh, all caught up!” so I should stop striving to hit that invisible goal.
• Chiropractic and back massages have done wonders for the tightness in my neck and shoulders
• For me, video games where you punch and kick things relieves stress as well (including a specific game that’s definitely not for kids!)

We did something crazy today and recorded an episode that was 7 minutes long! Today we talk about some things that have helped us out in recent pentests:

• When using Farmer to create “trap” files that coerce authentication, I’ve found way better results using Windows Search Connectors (.searchConnector-ms) files
• This matrix of “can I relay this to that” has been super helpful, especially early in engagements

Today’s episode is all about writing reports in Sysreptor. It’s awesome! Main takeaways:

• The price is free (they have a paid version as well)!
• You can send findings and artifacts directly to the report server using the reptor Python module
• Warning: Sysreptor only exports to PDF (no Word version option!)
• Sysreptor has helped us write reports faster without sacrificing quality
