Preparation
Preparing an Ansible playbook for: online patching Preparing an Ansible playbook for: installing SIEM/HIDS agents Preparing an Ansible playbook for: installing 3PP antivirus (avast free?) Prepare rules for SIEM alerts. Preparing on how we retrieve, store and send malware files for malware analysis Prepare an ansible playbook for: audit local + domain users on system + removal of unneeded users Prepare ansible playbook for: enumerating programs/processes so we can audit and remove unneeded ones (needs to include SMB) Prepare the MAC hardening Preparing IIS hardening (automated) + permissions IIS user Preparing an ansible playbook for: installing + configuring 3PP firewall Prepare offline patching as a patching 'plan B' Preparing an ansible playbook for: create special Administrator user + placing different password per host. Prepare scan to recognize rogue hosts Prepare strategy for logging changes to files (which ones, how to enable logging, make ansible playbook for it) Prepare ansible playbook for running windows Openscap (and collect results somewhere) Come up with a 'trolling' strategy.. how can we make life for red-teamers harder? aliases for certain commands? what does cobalt strike do so we know what commands Prepare CIS hardening script
Day 0 Enable powershell/winRM everywhere. Change administrator password on all hosts. Run windows updates Audit accounts + remove unneeded ones Audit programs/processes + remove unneeded ones Install FW and AV with Ansible Install IDS/TI agents Run scans Document findings Add our trolling stuff (if we want to go that route) Run CIS hardening scripts
