It gives me immense joy to finally reveal what I've secretly been working on for the past months. I must admit it has been difficult to keep this to myself as I was progressing through the design and development of this new product. After many successful pentests using the Skunk gigabit switch as a way to bypass NAC (by spoofing the MAC address of a legitimate device and duplicating its traffic), I came to realize the value of this technique, which I started referring to as "ghosting". I started to understand I needed to design a device which would accomplish...

Are you growing tired of the "classic" look of the Skunk's basic enclosure? Do you wish there was a funkier alternative? I wanted to experiment with other designs for this case. After some playing around, I came up with two alternatives which, at least to me, provide some nice change of outfit for the Skunk. Please note: only the standard green case is shipped with the Skunk for now. The cases presented here are simply experiments that I encourage anyone with a 3D printer to try out for themselves. The bottom part of the case has not actually changed -...

After reading many of your messages about the Skunk and its features, I was able to get a better understanding of what most users needed. I took some time the past few days to work on implementing the features that seemed to warrant the highest attention. So here it is (finally): version 1.2.0 of the Skunk firmware. In in this article I will try to present the changes brought along by this new update. A better command-line interface One of the key advantages of the Skunk is the simplicity with which it can be configured, simply by plugging in a...

I got tired of carrying a bunch of USB Ethernet dongles for my pentests. Whenever I need to connect to multiple networks, my laptop ends up looking like a degenerate squid monster. It was time to do something about this. Meet the Manifold The Manifold features three individual 10/100 Ethernet interfaces, each with its own MAC address. Connect to all the networks without turning your computer into a spaghetti creature! These are shipped with MAC addresses from the Ringtail Security prefix - read more about it here. Customizable by default As always, the STL files for the plastic case are...

The time has finally come! With the development of new products (in particular those revolving around Ethernet), the need is growing for Ringtail Security to be able to create MAC addresses. I must admit this is something I've been dreaming about for the past 15 years. The IEEE SA In case you are not familiar, MAC addresses are created by manufacturers within specific ranges allocated by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE SA) Registration Authority. To be able to create such MAC addresses, manufacturers use a MAC prefix assigned by the IEEE SA. Ringtail Security's first block...
