TLDL: get into a printer interface, adjust the LDAP lookup IP to be your Kali box, run nc -lvp 389 on your Kali box, and then "test" the credentials via the printer interface in order to (potentially) capture an Active Directory cred! Today we also define an achievement that's fun to unlock called DDAD: Double Domain Admin Dance.

Detect and resolve security threats faster and prevent breaches. Try it free today at blumira.com/7ms! Today we have a really fun interview with Nato Riley of Blumira. He cut his IT/security teeth working for a cell phone company, exorcising malware demons out of workstations, and even building an email-based SIEM. He has had a very cool career path that involves embracing newbness, pushing aside imposter syndrome, and even begging for jobs! I think this interview can best be summed up by a direct quote from Nato: "Things absolutely go wrong, and I think that's what deters people from trying. But just because something goes wrong, doesn't mean you're necessarily going to die from it. So why not try?"

Specifically, we focus on keeping that bloated email inbox a little more lean and mean. There are lots of tools/services to help with this, but we had a blast playing with MailStore (not a sponsor but we'd like them to be:-).

Today we're excited to kick off a new series all about blue team bliss - in other words, we're talking about pentest stories where the blue team controls kicked our butt a little bit! Topics include: The ms-ds-machineaccount-quota value is not an "all or nothing" option! Check out Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Add workstations to domain. We installed LAPS on Twitch last week and it went pretty well! We'll do it again in an upcoming livestream. Defensive security tools that can interrupt the SharpHound collection! EDRs are pretty awesome at catching bad stuff - and going into full "shields up" mode when they're irritated!
