How to properly restore (objects in) the 2003 AD database
Windows 2000 /Active Directory has been around for more than 7 years now. I’ve been using AD for almost 7 years, and due to its stability, I never had to recover a deleted object in AD. (Knock on wood). So it’s not a real surprise to find out that a lot of admins don’t even […]
Delegating AD Admin tasks to non-Admin accounts
Designing a distributed/international Active Directory is certainly the most important piece of a successful AD implementation. One of the issues that should be dealt with is whether you want to allow other people to be Enterprise/Domain Admin or not. If you ask me : it’s not a good idea. You should restrict those rights to […]
AD 2003 DC Restore Technique using VMWare (without having to grant local DC/Domain Admin rights)
In certain distributed AD scenario’s, Domain Admins group membership or local DC admin privileges are restricted to certain people only. This is a good thing to do, but it requires you to think about certain issues before they happen. One of these issues is backup and restore. Yes, you can schedule a system state backup […]
Bind network interfaces on Linux for redundancy, load balancing and performance
If you have multiple network interfaces in your linux machine (and ideally they have the same speed & duplex), you may want to ‘bind’ the adapters together to increase bandwidth and create some redundancy. Before going into the details on how to set this up under Fedora/Openfiler/other… linux flavors, I’d like to give some info […]
Restoring 2003 AD Objects using Windows 2008 Server
Anyone managing an Active Directory knows about the administrative troubles and work that can be caused when an object (such as a user) gets deleted. The admin needs to either restore the object, and then manually fill out the attributes (such as password, group membership and so on), or restore a backup of the ntds.dit […]
EncFSGui – GUI Wrapper around encfs for OSX
Introduction 3 weeks ago, I posted a rant about my frustration/concern related with crypto tools, more specifically the lack of tools to implement crypto-based protection for files on OSX, in a point-&-click user-friendly way. I listed my personal functional and technical criteria for such tools and came to the conclusion that the industry seem to […]
Crypto in the box, stone age edition
Introduction First of all, Happy New Year to everyone! I hope 2016 will be a fantastic and healthy year, filled with fun, joy, energy, and lots of pleasant surprises. I remember when all of my data would fit on a single floppy disk. 10 times. The first laptops looked like (and felt like) mainframes on […]
How to become a pentester
Intro I receive a lot of emails. (Please don’t make it worse, thanks!) Unfortunately I don’t have as much spare time as I used to, or would like to, so I often have no other choice than to redirect questions to our forums or our IRC channel (#corelan on freenode), hoping that other members […]
Analyzing heap objects with mona.py
Introduction Hi all, While preparing for my Advanced exploit dev course at Derbycon, I’ve been playing with heap allocation primitives in IE. One of the things that causes some frustration (or, at least, tends to slow me down during the research) is the ability to quickly identify objects that may be useful. After all, I’m […]
CSO : Common Sense Operator/Operations
As the CSO/CISO/person responsible for Information Security, your job is to… well … do you even know? Does upper management know? “Our crappy CSO …” and “Our stupid CSO …” are statements commonly used by various (techie) people, throwing their hands up in despair, attempting to prove that their CSO doesn’t understand technology and has […]
