Have 4 articles I've been working on here and there for a while now, yet I complete the one I started yesterday... go figure. Idea popped into my head so wrote it out in one go. attackthesoc.com/posts/detect... - Using KQL to Detect Gaps in your Conditional Access Strategy

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

If you work with Application owners you know how fun initializing groups for new SSO apps is. Bulk group member upload makes it easy but app owners tend to only ever provide a big list of emails. Bulk requires UPN or OID so here's a script I always turn to github.com/AttacktheSOC...

On Device Code phishing: Some folks were confused about this so wanted to share here. A generated device code is not tied to a single user. If a shared mailbox or mailbox with other accounts with view rights is hit with a spearphish, investigate all accounts.

CISA is one of the most important agencies you may not have heard of, partly due to its relative youth, and partly due to the fact that when it does its job—which it has done admirably—it generally does not make headlines. And now Trump is gutting it.

As @ericazelic.bsky.social mentioned all the energy around Device Code abuse is long overdue. To get more info about how it’s done, these articles are relevant 2020 & 2022 respectively @drazuread.bsky.social aadinternals.com/post/phishing/ @inversecos www.inversecos.com/2022/12/how-...

Had this saved in the WIP folder forever KQL for anti-forensics activities github.com/AttacktheSOC... So much can be added to this. Think 3rd party tools to aid anti-forensics, browser forensics... too much to name OMG, look at this😶updates to come! github.com/MikeHorn-git...

Was asked by a colleague for some help with a Remediation Script and remembered this little number: reg2ps.azurewebsites.net from @roger_zander Thank you! Bookmark it If using it for Intune, modify the Check Script output. Replace any $false with a 1. and $true with 0

Just posted a new entry to my blog! Trying to hunt for couple of anomalies using MDE. A lot of problems arised, as usually. #threathunting #mde #defender threathunt.blog/registry-hun...

Looking at some of the Aggregated Reporting of the different tables for the past few days (23-28) for a single device. #XDR #Defender

Took a trip inside to get a break from the bleak winter weather

Defender Resource Hub Update - Winter 2025 defenderresourcehub.info #Security #Learn #StayUptodate #Defenders #MicrosoftSecurity

Very cool course by the folks at Kopidion LLC on how to look at things from the adversary's perspective. Thank you for the training!

I wrote a very timely introduction to digital security for journalists for @gijn.org last fall. This guidance may also apply to activists, lawyers, and anyone else doing at-risk work these days. gijn.org/resource/int...

Well... that was an experience, I thought I prepared for everything, just not Teams failing. Dug out an old laptop. Very big thanks to @cyb3rmik3.bsky.social for inviting me on and to anyone able to stick around and listen, thank you for your patience. I hope you were able to learn something new.

Very excited to do my first my talk ever tomorrow. Me and public speaking aren’t close friends. Nervous as hell lol but ready and excited

📢 Don't miss @attackthesoc.com tomorrow talking about deception with MDE! The Greek Microsoft Security Community is thrilled to host its 3rd meetup tomorrow, featuring an exciting discussion with Dylan. ℹ️ More info on how to join ⤵️ www.meetup.com/greek-micros...

I’m honored and excited to have the opportunity to speak about the powerful deception rules feature in the MDE platform with the Greek Microsoft Security Community. Join us as we explore how to leverage this feature to enhance your detection strategy. Thank you, @cyb3rmik3.bsky.social !

How's everyone's Winter Arc going? What's that flashback scene going to look like?

Been playing more with the rpi and arduino. This time using OpenCV for facial detection and sending the id to rpi to the arduino display. Next, seeing if the kids want to help hook up some servos, craft a viable hand and get a waving robot hand. Articulation after that

Final product: 1) Sideways smiley face (clear skies) : ) 2) Cold ass nights 3) kids thinking they’re funny asking for a real raspberry 🥧

We took over the table to learn a bit about programming today. Raspberry Pi hits the OpenWeatherAPI to get the weather forecast and feeds it to the micro LCD, top line reads datetime Bottom line summarizes the weather. Max7219 displays a emoji face resultant of the weather

Bought my daughter a Procreate license an hour ago… she’s so damn awesome. So proud and excited to see what she makes next . No books or tutorials, just craftin some stuff up

And just like that, all our #windows devices suddenly got dual enrollment aka LinkedEnrollment. This groundbreaking step toward Declarative Device Management enrollment was triggered by Device Inventory. This new feature also makes use of the MMP-C infra alongside EPM #msintune #intune

Sometimes to get back to my NJ Italian-American roots I call sausage, sawseege. Mozzarella, motz or motzahrell. Vaffanculo, fongool

tired as hell.. think i wrote the last few paragraphs cross-eyed... gonna watch Harakiri again and pass out before opening credits

Finally, another blog post.. this one is a bit different focusing on cleaning up the SOC instead of adding things to it. Optimizing what you already have for more efficiency. attackthesoc.com/posts/ms-xdr...

This is the 8th drone sighting notification I received in the last hour from just one little area of Jersey neighbors.ring.com/n/V99QgXYFoV

My wife is terrible with surprises so I got some gifts early lmfao Also a pic of the axe, multi-effects processor and amp… was eyeing the katana unless y’all got some recommendations for a noob? Put some new patches together on the Zoom, sounds aight still learning the ropes

Yo Jersey, you good with that drone issue??

Are you using Deception tech in your detection stack? (i.e. honeypots, canary tokens, lures, etc.) If not, what's stopping you?

Hot chocolate for the kids to end the snow day right … whipped cream when it cools a bit

First snow day of the year. Noice. As a WFH, it's awesome to walk off a call to grab coffee or something and see the little ones all day. Would not trade this for anything

Anyone else in the Microsoft TechCommunity portal not able to open their inbox? Also get an internal server error every once in a while on random pages. Tried from Chrome on Desktop and mobile, Safari on mobile

lol, this one is on you @campbell.scot And it’s only 7 streams because I ended getting the album

Cool, haven't seen this but the MS docs were updated back in March so I might be late to the party. You can create a custom export an incident in Defender to a pdf. Nothing crazy but if you need to provide the quick details on an incident for reporting or w/e its got the info that would be needed

Farmer Walks with this setup is janky but gets the job done after a couple laps around the dungeon… does wonders for grip strength with vertical grip

Finally found time to start practicing guitar 🎸 again and been working on the Tenacious D cover of Wicked Games… I might actually feel confident enough to post a video of it lmao, it’ll be the first (hopefully of many)

That damn "-All" flag always catching me slipping in Graph PS..

If you're setting up SAML apps in Entra you may want/need to update the SAML certificate expiration notification email address: github.com/AttacktheSOC...

Been working through a few Microsoft Learn modules (chasing a number of self-paced certs: AZ-104 > AZ-305 & AZ-500+SC-200 > SC-100) and there's just so much going on. Too easy to miss tools and features that will make your life so much easier.

The man, the myth, the legend.. is here

We bout to get into this #mushroom puzzle

KQL best practices: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/kusto/... MS is always updating their docs, don't forget to check-in every now and then Boost your query performance but don't strain yourself trying to follow guidelines like this to a 'T'. Sometimes you need to do the quick and dirty and that's fine!

Just got home with the fam from cutting down our own tree. Absolutely the best way to get a tree. If there’s a well reviewed place in your area, do it Here’s a pic from last year of the cats enjoying the tree as well.. and yes of course he cried for help once he was done having his fun

My wife was testing a dairy-free recipe for Pumpkin pie and handed me the test pie and said the words “Here, let me know how it is. This one’s yours, do with it what you will” Folks. I have no shame and the only regret that I do have is on a purely digestive system level

Always a good time when you end up blocking yourself from work because tools were config'd properly Tried deploying an Arc extension Failed.. Ok, ah extensions.allowlist. Done. Failed.. Hmm, permissions perhaps? Temp eligibility. PIM accepted Denied.. Looks closer. Carve out a custom policy Success.

Oofa! Was completely wrong. Thanks to @fabian.bader.cloud for pointing out that it can be found in the UAL (as seen here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purvie...) which can be turned on by following (this: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defend...) You can see if it was done via GUI or API, commands and all

In light of @nathanmcnulty.com post on the O365 Mgmt API, I was playing around with the WindowsDefenderATP api and saw hitting the Live Response endpoints this way doesn't show up in the Action Center history or anywhere? Am I missing something? Perhaps with Graph Logs, but that's a damn firehose...
