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 […]

New Versions of AdFind and AdMod Posted

by @ Wednesday, April 28th, 2021. Filed under tech, updates

I have released new versions of AdFind and AdMod. Yeah I know I just said that I had released the last versions of both. I know. Trust me I know. I had packed the code away. Then I had a single week where I was alerted to one absolutely horrible bug in AD (https://blog.joeware.net/2021/04/19/6068/) which […]

Do NOT Use msds-memberTransitive and msds-memberOfTransitive

by @ Monday, April 19th, 2021. Filed under general, tech

Ok, let me pull that title back a teeny tiny bit… Do NOT Use msds-memberTransitive and msds-memberOfTransitive UNLESS you are absolutely positive that the number of values returned is guaranteed to be less than 4501 values. What are you talking about joe and why are you railing about an attribute that has been around since […]

AdFind / AdMod *Back* in the Garage.

by @ Tuesday, April 13th, 2021. Filed under general

I know I said I was putting them away, and I did. I locked down the code and started looking into other things. However, three separate bugs in Windows, well two bugs in the OS and one in a Windows tool (my opinion on the bugs, not an admission from MSFT) that I couldn’t stand […]

OpenLiveWriter and HTTP 409 Conflict Errors

by @ Sunday, April 11th, 2021. Filed under general

My blogging ability has been hampered for a while because OpenLiveWriter wasn’t working for me and throwing 409 Conflict errors when trying to talk to my blog. My last couple of posts were done through the web interface and anyone who knows me knows I don’t much like web interfaces, including the WordPress editor interface. […]

New Versions of AdFind and… GASP…. AdMod Released

by @ Wednesday, March 17th, 2021. Filed under tech, updates

I have released AdFind V01.55.00 and AdMod V01.22.00. 🙂   AdFind There are quite a few fixes and additions since the pre-Pandemic release. You can find a breakdown at http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/adfind/ AdMod Surprise, it only took nine years to have a version of this I was comfortable enough to publicly release. Unlike AdFind, AdMod is exceptionally […]
