As I find myself digging through the AdMod source code adding functionality and fixing small bugs here and there I realize that someone much smarter than I wrote the original version. And paradoxically I am the only one who has ever seen, let alone touch, this source code… Back when writing a lot of this […]

…AdMod just compiled start to finish under Visual Studio 2017… Only 3 evenings of fixing compiler errors and linker errors! I mean the code base is a lot smaller than AdFind (I like it smaller because it is doing more critical things, naming changing stuff in AD), but still I expected at least a full […]
Started the port of AdMod from C++ Builder to Visual Studio 2017… This will be much more difficult and involved than AdFind, no room for mistakes in AdMod since it actually changes things. I need to get this done though, using DSACLS to update security descriptors in AD pisses me off every single time I […]
I have released AdFind V01.51.00. This release has a group of bug fixes and memory leaks that I found over the last couple of months related to the port/conversion to Visual Studio C++. In addition I have added quite a few attributes to the list of decoded attributes including wellKnownObjects, dSASignature, several Exchange attributes, and […]

Visual Leak Detector is very cool. Great open source project. It is on CodePlex (https://vld.codeplex.com/) but since that is shutting down it appears to have moved to GIT (https://github.com/developkits/VisualLeakDetector). The latest version (2.5.1) didn’t originally work fully with Visual Studio. BY default it only listed offsets versus full function names and line numbers. Luckily I […]
DO NOT DO IT! JUST STOP! DON’T!!! NO!!! It is such a bad idea and it isn’t security. You want security, clean up access rights so the wrong people can’t modify the groups in the first place. If you don’t trust your admins, you need to fire them and get admins you do trust. Here […]
