  3. Made a usable login screen today: email/password fields, inline error display, and account name/display name on the side. Not a game yet, but after registration and localization work we can polish UX. Tinkering with localization keys and fallback text will be probaply a small headache. Preview: login UI gif. What auth details should I prioritize next?

  4. VIDEO – The Palm-Sized NAS You Didn’t Know You Needed

    I would like to set up a NAS on my network which could host my Plex server as well as provide Nextcloud and Immich services. The idea of a NAS which would use NVMe SSD drives is also very appealing.

  7. Windows Weekly – Edge Game Assist is an IT Headache!

    Working at a managed service provider (MSP), I deal with Microsoft on a regular basis. This is mainly because Microsoft causes more problems than they solve on a regular basis. I definitely have a career because of Microsoft, so I both thank and curse Microsoft every day as a result.

    On this subject, I am definitely cursing Microsoft.

    Microsoft recently introduced Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser version of the Microsoft Edge browser which is supposed to allow gamers the […]

  8. Proton Authenticator

    As more and more of our important personal data is stored online and more and more hacks of corporate databases make that data available to the worst people, the need for added security on our online accounts has grown considerably. It’s no longer enough to have a secure, hard to crack password. We now need to enable two-factor/multi-factor authentication (2FA/MFA). These services allow you to use something you have, such as your smartphone, along with something you know, in this case your […]

  10. Declaring Metapendence – Threads

    Last week, I wrote about alternatives to Meta’s WhatsApp. While WhatsApp offers end-to-end encryption, the many privacy issues with both Meta in general and WhatsApp in particular provide many reasons to stay away or move away from WhatsApp. I, myself, have never used WhatsApp, but I want to be as thorough as possible in providing solutions for the Meta problem.

    This week, we take a look at Threads, the micro blogging service which Meta released in 2023 to take advantage of the mass exodus […]

    This #Lemmy post programming.dev/post/22672085 links to the recording of the talk I gave earlier in the year, about how #dotNet #dotNetMAUI and other #programmers #developers can get the most out of #Mastodon and the #Fediverse in general. Show to people you want to come here, or watch yourself if you feel like you could learn more about it.

    ICYMI did you know that you can use your #mouse #ScrollWheel to #scroll horizontally? All you have to do is hold down the shift-key at the same time. I saw (and boosted) a post about this recently, and it's life-changing - so much easier than trying to grab the thin and almost invisible scroll-bar! (thanks Microsoft for making everything harder to use due to your never-ending commitment to giving us changes we didn't want)

  17. The worst case has happened: Hackers have managed to breach your network and elevate their privileges to their ultimate goal: Domain Admin.

    Today, we will take a look at one of the attacks that this absolute nightmare scenario makes possible for attackers: Golden Tickets (MITRE T1558.001)

    But let’s start at the beginning: Kerberos authentication. When a user logs in, a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) is issued to the user. Put very simply, the ticket contains, among other things, the username to identify the user. To prevent users from simply modifying a ticket and impersonating other users, the ticket is encrypted.

    The encryption key that secures the ticket is essentially the password hash of a user called krbtgt. This makes the krbtgt user one of the most sensitive, if not the most sensitive, user in an Active Directory domain. If this user's password is weak or the password (hash) is compromised, the entire domain is compromised.

    This is because attackers can use this password hash to forge their own tickets and impersonate any user they want. They simply create a ticket with the username they want and encrypt it with the password hash. They now have an authentication ticket that, if done correctly, is virtually indistinguishable from a real ticket.

    And that's what’s called a “Golden Ticket”. And there are many tools available to attackers, the most prominent of which are: Mimikatz, Rubeus and Impacket.

    The fact that it abuses legitimate functionality, makes it difficult to detect a Golden Ticket attack. However, there are a few things that you can look out for:

    * Are there TGS requests (Event 4769) without the original TGT being issued by the KDC (Event 4768)?
    * Is RC4 encryption being used?
    * Strange TGT parameters (e.g. very long lifetimes)?
    * Are there logins from sensitive accounts that aren’t normally used (e.g. the default domain administrator account)?

    Additionally, you can also look for signs of Pass the Ticket attacks (MITRE T1550.003).

    To mitigate this attack, the krbtgt password should be changed whenever a highly privileged user leaves the organization and additionally on a fixed schedule (and, of course, if you suspect a compromise). Make sure that the password is very, very strong.

    But changing the password once is not enough. It has to be changed twice because of the password history. However, be careful not to do this in quick succession. The change must be replicated to other domain controllers first. Otherwise, you risk severe authentication problems.
