Breaking Through Single Sign On (SSO)

During my internship with Praetorian, I was able to create a new tool—Okta Watering Hole—that was used on some of the red team engagements. I created this tool because our team ran into the issue of not being able to get past two factor authentication on various web portals—so this is how we got around that. Okta Watering Hole sets up a carbon copy of a target Okta site and begins to capture credentials and sessions of visitors. This can be used to check how a company’s procedures and policies stand up to the “next generation” phishing attacks we are beginning to see. This new tool supports traditional phishing attacks as well as targeting two factor authentication devices—meaning perimeter security has to work double time.
