After we achieved our mission, we left the site at 2AM. Fortunately for our client, the head of IT didn't "put strychnine in the guacamole". This is why I still keep a USB to RS232 in my IR go bag to this day.

Luckily, the IT admin left me an open session on the RS232 port. So I didn't actually have to "hack" it. After adding another admin user and an interface to a device implant I brought with me to "phone home".

After finding the device in question, which took a bit due the spider web of cables, we found the admin interface, RS232. I connected my laptop and fired up my favorite serial terminal program.

There was one device that didn't have an exposed admin interface. I just happened to have experience on this network device. So at 10 pm on a Friday, we come to the client site, dressed as the cleaning crew.

Hold on for a wild story. I had a client who had sufficient cause to worry that the head of IT was going to "put strychnine in the guacamole" and take down the whole organization. My team worked with our red team to establish persistence in the network.

Many threat actors leave the Windows firewall disabled. And services like Shodan, Censys, Binary Edge, et.c are able to pull back that data. Very useful for tracking threat actors and for doing IR investigations.

Where it is sufficiently unique:

SSL metadata
JARM/JA4 data
SSH Keys
Unique services running on weird ports
Banner/content hashes
Windows "bleedthrough" hostname (Windows VMs exposed on some virtual host)

There's probably more that I missed.

If you want to change just the display of one (or many if your network allows broadcast) you can use a script similar to gist.github.com/skreuzer/b29...
and make them all say "PC LOAD LETTER"
