Thanks! I’d love to hear your thoughts once you’ve watched it.
Thanks! I’m glad to hear others are finding it useful.
If I understand correctly, the signatures generated by PuTTY aren’t perfectly random, so if someone got a hold of a bunch of keys from a server, they could figure out the pattern. It takes about 60 keys. This affects not just PuTTY, but also FileZilla, WinSCP, TortoiseGit, and TortoiseSVN.
In other words if you have NIST P-521 keys, or any others using 521-bit ECDSA, you should revoke them and generate new key pairs. After you update your software.
For some reason their API would not return anything for assembly. I was curious to see where it would rank too,
Apparently it due to an issue with Kotlin - https://github.com/code-golf/code-golf/issues/151#issuecomment-1126266250
Biggest things I’m seeing is CVE-2023-21709 for Exchange requires a PowerShell script to be run after patching. Also, CVE-2023-29328/29330 for Teams affect all devices (Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android).
The book I wrote. When I first talked with the publisher he asked, “what skills would you look for in someone who wants to do your job?” And that’s the premise I stuck with writing it.
I feel down a rabbit hole, a few years ago wonder the same thing about C#. Here is what I found.
Interesting. As someone who mainly deals in PowerShell, this is very similar to the Where-Object clause and could save me some headaches when I need to work in Python.
That’s pretty similar with what happened with me and the train. Kept getting random drops from a plant. I went out to investigate and everything tested perfect and the network was staying up. That was until a freight train rolled by. Turns out AT&T had run the line by shoving a piece of PVC through the gravel between two cross-ties, then running the cable through it.
I’ve actually had an excavator take out my network. I’ve also had networks taken out by forklift, train, and a semi-truck towing three other semi-trucks.
Basically every Windows sysadmin is indebted to Mark Russinovich and SysInternals. Fortunetly, PowerToys has come a long way because I’m pretty sure sysinternals haven’t been updated since Windows XP.
Nice write up, and a great primer for someone coming from the Linux/Bash world.
