Tricks

Paperify

When dealing with an engagement where there's no internet access available on the adversary's box, one can use paperify to send data to her teammates (hashes to brute force, for example).

Zip the hashes with best compression, base64 the archive and create a QR code:

$ 7z a -t7z -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=on archive.7z tgsrep.in
$ base64 -w0 archive.7z > 7z
$ ./paperify.sh 7z

Translate the QR code with your favorite mobile app and send the contents via a secure channel (e. g., a messenger). Now your teammates can reverse the process to get the initial zip file:

PS > .\b64decode.ps1 .\b64.txt out.7z

b64decode.ps1

$IN = $args[0]
$OUT = $args[1]
$data = [IO.File]::ReadAllText("$pwd\$IN")
[IO.File]::WriteAllBytes("$pwd\$OUT", [Convert]::FromBase64String($data))
