@IAMERICAbooted With tiered admin model you need that Group policy that blocks interactive login with T1/T0 admin accounts on desktops. Bugs me that Microsoft never published detailed docs and scripts to set this up.

@reprise_99 I once bricked VMware vCentre by calling my VM hostname a Banana 🍌

@JackRhysider Loved the episode about sophos firewall and how telemetry helps. Sent it to my SRE. Then his system graphana gets their source code taken (has creds into many of our systems). So good to understand "so what, what's the worst that could happen". Keep up the show. Big house my fav.

@JackRhysider Non tech, saw this vid by Jason from A producing an album. Id dismissed this band as a boy band but the album rocks!

Hey folks, some personal news.

I’m leaving Microsoft.

It’s been a privilege to work here, and I’m incredibly grateful for the people I’ve worked with, the customers I’ve learned from, and the support so many of you have shown me along the way.

I’m now starting out on my own and chasing a dream I’ve had for a long time: building software that makes security more practical, accessible, and useful for the people doing the work every day.

Why now?
With all the change happening around us, I feel like new possibilities are opening up. I want to spend this next chapter building things I care deeply about, solving problems that matter, and doing work that brings me joy.

I’m excited. Nervous. Grateful.

My newsletters, podcast, Maester and other tools will all be part of this next chapter, and I’ll share more in the coming weeks.

Thank you for being part of the journey so far. I’m looking forward to building this next chapter with your support.

@merill @jarwidmark Best of luck with your next step.

@unusual_cars I'd drive this for a day, then go back in time and do it again

@AbedOmary @RidgelineCyber Wow, someone still rocking a Palm Pilot PDA?

[Alex Mags @AlexMags]

@JackRhysider DnD is really accessible. Jack frequently puts these breaks in an interview/story to recap and bring the listener up to speed. I really appreciate that.

@SecurityCollins @TheHackersNews In m365 you have data sensitivity labels on files. You can configure certain labels to be "off limits" to AI. A bug missed this restriction. IF a company was relying on a sensitively label to screen off certain files from AI this wouldn't have worked.

@domchell Everyone uses Crest certificated pentesters?

@UK_Daniel_Card @PyroTek3 Very nice. How about number of machines in computers container (should be zero). Manual added to AD and not getting the right group policy config there.

My feed is split into two right now:

Cyber: WTF are you all doing?

[Alex Mags @AlexMags]

@paulsanders87 Ha ha so true.

[Alex Mags @AlexMags]

@horizon_secured Yes this is the way. Here's some code to do the OU permissions.
Next, extending the model to Entra!

@IAMERICAbooted Drives me nuts too. It's like calling mixing up GSuite and GCP.

[Alex Mags @AlexMags]

@IAMERICAbooted Yep
