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 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 […]

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.

The reason for this is because the hacker collectives are using the tool for scanning Active Directory environments […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
