Got sidetracked by a fun little Terraform + Ansible project which I dubbed 'CloudLabs AD'. It provisions a small AD lab in the cloud that has some dummy data to play with and is enrolled in Elastic Endpoint Security.
Just open sourced it here 👉 github.com/chvancooten/Cloud…
Honestly not sure why but thanks, y'all 🥰
Haven't been sharing much lately, been working on some side projects and stuff for coming conference season. If you have any ideas for blogs/tools/whatever please do let me know! 🙏
That's a close one! I expected specialism to come first tbh. Some great insights in the comments. Personally I like being a generalist too, as you can ride that wave of learning the ropes of a new skill every time 🏄
I do have some "focus areas" (Nim malware for example), but it's never something I consider myself to be an expert in specifically. And that's totally fine!
The first blog post is here. This one covers the technical details of CVE-2022-26923 (Active Directory Domain Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability).
The vulnerability was patched as part of the May 2022 Security Updates from Microsoft.

Some good news to start the week - I have been accepted to speak at @x33fcon 2022! I have also been accepted to present my workshop on 'malware development for dummies' at @hackinparis 2022. So hyped for both of these cons! Who's gonna be around?
Had a blast at the first physical (!) @hackthebox_nl meetup, meeting @egre55, @RoadRunnerHacks, and a bunch of other cool folks IRL 😁. Looking forward to the next one!
Something about Crowdstrike being a pain in the behind about people testing with their product combined with their engineers freely snooping on dev machines of their clients doesn't sit right with me 🤔
I'm all for transparency but it isn't a one-way street
Spent some time last week on something entirely different - frontend development! Created a new interface for Nimplant from scratch to teach myself the ropes of Next.JS and Typescript. Not gonna lie, pretty proud of what I achieved in a week (GIF below 👇)
I love GoMapEnum by @nodauf. Scrape a list of emails from LinkedIn, verify via MS Teams, get a list of hundreds of verified users in minutes :)

I quite like the offsec courses that I did but it's sad to see they're going the SANS route in terms of pricing. Knowledge should be accessible, not paywalled 🥲
As a reminder, the 30- and 60-day options for all standalone courses will no longer be available as of today at 11:59 p.m HST.
We aim to simplify our product offerings as we develop new courses and features for our students: offs.ec/3tNVOZo
Not sure what's more shocking, the "DomAdmins-LastPass.xlsx" file or that the attackers used BING to look up privilege escalation tools on a compromised machine 😅
New documents for the Okta breach: I have obtained copies of the Mandiant report detailing the embarrassing Sitel/SYKES breach timeline and the methodology of the LAPSUS$ group. 1/N

Playing with Elastic Security a bit and it's pretty dope. A lot of nice rules to play with out of the box 🤤
Would love to provision it in my labs with Ansible but automating the installation in a headless fashion is gonna be a pain lol
