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. […]

9 out of 10 hackers prefer AdFind for AD Recon…

by @ Saturday, October 10th, 2020. Filed under general

https://thedfirreport.com/2020/10/08/ryuks-return/ This isn’t the first I have read about AdFind being used by bad actors, it won’t be the last. I first started hearing about AdFind being used in exploits and recon work roughly 2.5 or so years ago when IR teams and Security Researchers started emailing me about it and asking for hashes of […]

Windows Server 2003 Support for AdFind??

by @ Sunday, February 9th, 2020. Filed under general, tech

Out of curiosity how many people need to run my tools on pre-Windows Server 2008 machines? I.E. Windows 2000, XP, 2003, etc? I was just alerted this last week by a random Russian user that AdFind doesn’t run ON Windows Server 2003 X64. I did some testing and that is correct, in fact it won’t […]

WHOA!

by @ Saturday, January 4th, 2020. Filed under general

Looks like wordpress updated something… Everything has gone cuckoo! Edit: For some reason the color schemes and some of the displayed stuff is different for a logged in user versus a guest. Trying to sort it out. 🙂 Edit2: This should be all sorted out now, if things look weird, comment here. Rating 4.33 out […]

Complexity

by @ Thursday, August 15th, 2019. Filed under general, quotes, tech

After, more than <cough>two decades<cough> in a professional role of some sort of ops, engineer, architect, dev ops person in IT or Information Security in very large multinational Fortune 1-50 sized companies I have grown to dislike complexity in a way that some people without my experience may think is unnatural if not completely unhealthy.

Immortalizing AJ Plichta :)

by @ Tuesday, June 4th, 2019. Filed under general

I have a friend at work named AJ, AJ Plichta, if you must know. Yes, THAT AJ. AJ likes to type AdFind commands without specifying –f before the filter. Now for most, this isn’t a huge deal, but when you consider our main work forest has around 2.5 million users this can be a rather […]
