Anthropic - AI can do cyber without much human. Me - AI can you help me with this research:

I’ve been finding the #Entra Usage & Insights report useless lately when it comes to #passkey reporting. Why? It’s broken. It’s concerning that this seems to be an ongoing issue that isn’t tenant specific and Microsoft hasn’t caught it. #EntraID ericonidentity.com/2025/09/02/e...

I have a new post out on the @netspi.bsky.social blog today. This one is on extracting sensitive information from the Azure Load Testing service. www.netspi.com/blog/technic...

Quote of the day: “MSFT has architected themselves into this corner” #fwdcloudsec25 @ericonidentity.com

Going right from @wearetroopers.bsky.social in Heidelberg to @fwdcloudsec.org in Denver ✈️ - from one excellent conference to another! I’m looking forward to speaking Monday @ 2:00pm in track 1 on the dangers of #nOAuth, with some new and tweaked slides and talking points! #Entra #EntraID

nOAuth revisited by @ericonidentity.com at @wearetroopers.bsky.social

At @wearetroopers.bsky.social I dropped new research on #nOAuth, an abuse of #EntraID that allows you to spoof users in vulnerable SaaS applications. The attack is still alive and well. You can read all about it here: #Entra #M365 #infosec www.semperis.com/blog/noauth-...

On the way to #TROOPERS25. The short flight is down… just waiting for the long one to Frankfurt. Looking forward to talking about #nOAuth with #Entra… sadly it’s still a thing 😑 #EntraID #infosec @wearetroopers.bsky.social

Did you know you can send LAPS passwords to Entra on Server OS? Neither did @adamgrosstx.bsky.social or I until yesterday! Just need to hybrid join the server(s) and set the GPO to backup to "AAD"! Neat!

The last two months have been a chaotic whirlwind of emotions and activity. I needed to talk about it, so I did: jakehildreth.github.io/blog/2025/03...

Yesterday morning, I woke up to an email from Microsoft with the subject "Congratulations on your Microsoft MVP award". I immediately thought it was a phish, but I dug a bit further. It's real! 🤯 I was selected as an MVP in "PowerShell" and "Identity & Access"!

📢 To all attendees, sponsors, and speakers of MC2MC Connect! 📸 We have uploaded all the event photos to the Gallery page on the MC2MC Connect website, so you can look back and relive the day! 🔗 connect.mc2mc.be/gallery/ #MC2MC #ConnectMC2MC #MC2MCConnect

If you work in, around, near, adjacent, or so on, to #identity, including #infosec and #Entra, you should fill out the #IDPro skills survey. It takes five minutes and really helps in understanding the industry landscape. www.surveymonkey.com/r/L9QB6T2

I received an interesting #M365 subscription email the other week, that turned out to be a scam. I figured I'd pick it apart, and found it curious enough to share the details. #entra #infosec #m365security #azure ericonidentity.com/2025/02/20/a...

We’re pleased to announce the next speaker for MC2MC Connect: @ericonidentity.com 🚀 In this session, Eric will dive deep into the most common questions about app registrations, enterprise apps, and service principals. 🔍🛡️ 🔗 tinyurl.com/5dxvnsn4 #MC2MC #ConnectMC2MC

Zuckerberg "loved" an AI slop image on a spam page that also posts AI images of children with amputations, elderly people, fake images of graves, links offsite to ad-loaded pages, etc. Exciting stuff for me www.404media.co/zuckerberg-l...

If you consume multi-tenant apps in #EntraID, and they’ve been granted consent to do things in your tenant, you can spy on the auth choices your vendor makes - secrets or certs - in the logs available in your #Entra tenant. #infosec #m365 #azure ericonidentity.com/2025/01/13/s...

With all the speaking I burnt and crashed a bit towards the end of 2024. I plan on writing about the speaking experience… but first hoping to get back into writing more as I research stuff. Hope to have both a personal blog and Semperis blog article out this week 🤞.

Looking forward to when I can talk about the more interesting case 👀 #MSRC #Entra

Great advice; received a variant of this last week that had an old password I used to use in it 😅

Want to run roadrecon, but a device compliance policy is getting in your way? You can use the Intune Company Portal client ID, which is a hardcoded and undocumented exclusion in CA for device compliance. It has user_impersonation rights on the AAD Graph 😃

Oh by the way

The Moynihan Train Hall Starbucks is an absolute machine of efficiency.

🦋 Introducing bluesky.ms 👏 = A crowdsourced database of anyone and everyone in the Microsoft community on Bluesky. 👉 Add yourself and anyone you know today 👈 🫂 All are welcome. This is my v1, I'll add options to directly follow from the site itself but first 👇 LET'S FILL IT UP! 🙏

It is the biggest con in cyber security, hands down. There is *no data* that it changes cyber security *outcomes.* I theorize that most people intuitively know this, but because "improving click rate" is easy to track (and game), many performatively champion it as a "good metric" for security.

Which do I pick for SSO?!? #EntraID vs #AzureAD

Looking forward to that fresh MSRC case smell…

Celebrating 4 years of the "#MicrosoftEntra Attack & Defense Playbook" 🔐 ☁️ community project! Last week, @samilamppu.bsky.social and I took the opportunity to record a video about the journey of this project, from research to writing process. #MVPBuzz #TechCommunity www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBD1...

If you use SimpleSAMLphp get ready to patch or update on 1st or 2nd December

Device-bound #passkeys in #EntraID are finally GA https://aka.ms/Ignite2024/entra #AiTM #Security #FIDO2

When you’re cleaning up your lab and trying to recall what the server you named trashcan was for… 🧐

I created a starter pack for those just joining Bluesky to follow some great people talking #microsoft #identity and #security to get you started! Follow and Share! #msignite go.bsky.app/FkPKwkK

For those that *really* miss the old AAD portal: rc-aad.portal.azure.com#view/Microso... #Entra #EntraID

Still hard to not laugh when you see Microsoft apps having to resort to these naming conventions in your #Entra tenant 😅

Haven’t been around these parts in a while. En route to #HIPConf24, where I’ll be presenting on #UnOauthorized tomorrow, as well as joining a panel with Thomas Naunheim on workload identities, and having some good hallway conversations. Looking forward to seeing folks! #Entra #EntraID #infosec

I've been quiet on here for a while, but wanted to share the blog that details much of UnOAuthorized from my #bhusa talk yesterday. #blackhat #blackhat2024 #EntraID #azure #microsoft365 #microsoft #infosec www.semperis.com/blog/unoauth...

The obligatory starting my journey to the MVP Summit picture 😜😎 #mvpbuzz

When you spend a lot of personal time and effort to speak at a conference in a vendor-neutral spot that you had to really put the work in to earn, the conference management team should in turn exclude you from the list of attendees that they give to sponsors. #infosec #cybersecurity #conferences

Just published a new post: How to Securely Connect to Azure VMs and Use RDP Bastion, Virtual Network Gateway, VPN, Azure Cloud PowerShell and more #CyberSecurity github.com/HotCakeX/Har...

Reminder to anyone who has purchased a new #iPhone and uses #passwordless or the #microsoft authenticator app for #mfa for corporate #office365 or #EntraID iPhone backups/transfers will not rehydrate the app. Make sure you have a backup strong auth method. #m365 #azuread #azure #aad #infosec

Worst idea I've seen all day #okta #infosec #activedirectory #identity

The #Google #chrome response to #Microsoft #edge in the war to make the shittiest browser with the recent ad privacy changes...

If you've been living under the impression that 100% of all configuration changes in Entra ID are audited, or audited with value, you'd be wrong. A dive into a recent analysis of what's not there in #EntraID. #aad #mvpbuzz #entra #azuread #infosec #m365 ericonidentity.com/2023/08/29/d...

If you’re at #BlueTeamCon and want to understand why #passkeys / #FIDO2 are #phishing resistant, and why most other forms of #MFA are not, come by the unconference room Sunday on lunch at 12:20pm. Will include a live demo of #evilginx in action. #BlueTeamCon2023 #mvpbuzz #infosec

If you're in the #NYC area come see me and a bunch of other fabulous folks speak about #identity #security August 23-24 at HIP Global 2023 I'll have a session on #phishing and strong #authentication with #EntraID. #AAD #infosec #MVPBuzz #azuread #m365 #microsoft #hipconf accelevents.com

Have you ever wanted to query Azure AD (Entra ID) join information in PowerShell without calling dsregcmd.exe /status and parsing the output? I've got you covered with this code snippet that calls the Win32 APIs directly: https://gist.github.com/awakecoding/d20c863014ff689a8f4b490c40269164
