Hey Microsoft… Is the AD Delegation for Computer Objects Broken?

by @ Friday, March 17th, 2023. Filed under tech

Is https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5020276-netjoin-domain-join-hardening-changes-2b65a0f3-1f4c-42ef-ac0f-1caaf421baf8 an admission that AD Delegation for computer objects is broken? The whole fix and the previous versions of the fixes were to override who can re-use an existing computer account. Theoretically, if your AD security is properly delegated and you turned off that silly anyone can join a computer if they have joined […]

Once Again, Joeware Doesn’t Have Viruses if Downloaded From the Joeware.net site.

by @ Wednesday, February 22nd, 2023. Filed under general

I am getting masses of emails about people having issues downloading from the site. Primarily AdFind is the one people are having issues with but Chrome has been blocking ALL downloads from the site. I have been trying to work with Google to get Chrome sorted out but they seem to be really confused over […]

So now Chrome/Brave is being stupid…

by @ Friday, January 27th, 2023. Filed under general

So I was alerted that Chrome is blocking downloads of AdFind but then also heard it is other tools as well. I am digging into it to see what can be done, I registered the site with google and told it to give me a security report and it showed me: I responded with Note […]

TLS 1.3 for LDAPS on Windows Server 2022

by @ Saturday, July 9th, 2022. Filed under general

You may recall I previously ranted on twitter (https://twitter.com/joewaredotnet/status/1432548671527264258?s=20&t=LMw3UZ9dddXhxVPs8dKa7A) that MSFT added TLS 1.3 for HTTPS for Windows Server 2022 but neglected to add it for AD. Well someone listened. You are welcome.   [Sat 07/09/2022 20:54:17.43] C:\temp>adfind -h k22-ese.k22-ese-dom.test.loc -sslinfo AdFind V01.59.00cppBETA Joe Richards (support@joeware.net) June 2022 dn:CN=Certificate Info,CN=k22-ese.k22-ese-dom.test.loc > ciEncodingType: X509_ASN_ENCODING (0x01) > […]

New Releases of AdFind/AdMod Available For Download

by @ Sunday, November 21st, 2021. Filed under general

I have uploaded the new versions of AdFind and AdMod to www.joeware.net for download. Note that I know that a lot of anti-malware has been reporting AdFind.exe as malware now, usually some form of LOLBIN or PUA. The reason for this is because the hacker collectives are using the tool for scanning Active Directory environments […]

Binary Format Security Descriptor Export/Import

by @ Saturday, October 23rd, 2021. Filed under general

I was about to add some code to AdFind to export Security Descriptors in binary export/import format and found out I already had written that code. I apparently used a bad switch name for it though because I didn’t intuitively know what it was and find it by accident. That or my brain was in […]

AdFind Enemy #1 for AV Tools

by @ Monday, May 31st, 2021. Filed under tech

Ok not really enemy #1, but they are getting stupid about it. Once again the AV Tool companies have their panties in a bunch over a joeware tool. Now it is AdFind. The digests on the website are accurate, I also uploaded it to virustotal before anyone but me had touched it so their digests […]
