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?"
