Have 4 articles I've been working on here and there for a while now, yet I complete the one I started yesterday... go figure. Idea popped into my head so wrote it out in one go. attackthesoc.com/posts/detect... - Using KQL to Detect Gaps in your Conditional Access Strategy

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

If you work with Application owners you know how fun initializing groups for new SSO apps is. Bulk group member upload makes it easy but app owners tend to only ever provide a big list of emails. Bulk requires UPN or OID so here's a script I always turn to github.com/AttacktheSOC...

On Device Code phishing: Some folks were confused about this so wanted to share here. A generated device code is not tied to a single user. If a shared mailbox or mailbox with other accounts with view rights is hit with a spearphish, investigate all accounts.

CISA is one of the most important agencies you may not have heard of, partly due to its relative youth, and partly due to the fact that when it does its job—which it has done admirably—it generally does not make headlines. And now Trump is gutting it.

NEW: CISA has frozen all of its election security work; the agency is also reviewing everything it’s done to help state and local officials secure their elections for the past eight years. www.wired.com/story/cisa-e...

As @ericazelic.bsky.social mentioned all the energy around Device Code abuse is long overdue. To get more info about how it’s done, these articles are relevant 2020 & 2022 respectively @drazuread.bsky.social aadinternals.com/post/phishing/ @inversecos www.inversecos.com/2022/12/how-...

Had this saved in the WIP folder forever KQL for anti-forensics activities github.com/AttacktheSOC... So much can be added to this. Think 3rd party tools to aid anti-forensics, browser forensics... too much to name OMG, look at this😶updates to come! github.com/MikeHorn-git...

Was asked by a colleague for some help with a Remediation Script and remembered this little number: reg2ps.azurewebsites.net from @roger_zander Thank you! Bookmark it If using it for Intune, modify the Check Script output. Replace any $false with a 1. and $true with 0

Very cool course by the folks at Kopidion LLC on how to look at things from the adversary's perspective. Thank you for the training!

I wrote a very timely introduction to digital security for journalists for @gijn.org last fall. This guidance may also apply to activists, lawyers, and anyone else doing at-risk work these days. gijn.org/resource/int...

Introduction to Investigative Journalism: Digital Security

Digital security may seem a little daunting at first, but increased security will help investigative journalists build trust with — and protect — current and future sources.

Well... that was an experience, I thought I prepared for everything, just not Teams failing. Dug out an old laptop. Very big thanks to @cyb3rmik3.bsky.social for inviting me on and to anyone able to stick around and listen, thank you for your patience. I hope you were able to learn something new.

Very excited to do my first my talk ever tomorrow. Me and public speaking aren’t close friends. Nervous as hell lol but ready and excited

How's everyone's Winter Arc going? What's that flashback scene going to look like?

Been playing more with the rpi and arduino. This time using OpenCV for facial detection and sending the id to rpi to the arduino display. Next, seeing if the kids want to help hook up some servos, craft a viable hand and get a waving robot hand. Articulation after that

Final product: 1) Sideways smiley face (clear skies) : ) 2) Cold ass nights 3) kids thinking they’re funny asking for a real raspberry 🥧

We took over the table to learn a bit about programming today. Raspberry Pi hits the OpenWeatherAPI to get the weather forecast and feeds it to the micro LCD, top line reads datetime Bottom line summarizes the weather. Max7219 displays a emoji face resultant of the weather

Bought my daughter a Procreate license an hour ago… she’s so damn awesome. So proud and excited to see what she makes next . No books or tutorials, just craftin some stuff up

And just like that, all our #windows devices suddenly got dual enrollment aka LinkedEnrollment. This groundbreaking step toward Declarative Device Management enrollment was triggered by Device Inventory. This new feature also makes use of the MMP-C infra alongside EPM #msintune #intune

Sometimes to get back to my NJ Italian-American roots I call sausage, sawseege. Mozzarella, motz or motzahrell. Vaffanculo, fongool
