This is part two in our series that takes a look at Active Director reconnoissance with a free tool called AD Explorer, and is interesting because we can do so having only obtained basic user credentials for any user account on the AD domain we’re targeting. If you missed part one, go back and have…

Not a lot of people may know this, but even someone with only “Domain User” credentials can read a whole lot of information about Microsoft Active Directory from their personal machine without any sort of administrative credentials. The machine doesn’t have to belong to the domain in order to do this – all that’s needed…

Showing Only IPs of Active Hosts / Output to File There may be a need to output only the IP addresses of the active hosts on a subnet. We can strip out all of the nmap standard output except the IP address of each active host with the following command: nmap -n -sn 192.168.56.0/24 -oG…
After having using Tenable Nessus years ago, I decided to give OpenVAS a spin. Open VAS, like Nessus, is a vulnerability scanner. Unlike Nessus, OpenVAS is open source and free to download and use. I was surprised when I saw that it wasn’t included with the base installation image of Kali Linux, although after performing…

It’s used to discover hosts on a network, provide information about what types of services might be running on those hosts and even what version of service software is running, provide operating system fingerprinting capabilities, and many other useful features. The primary features can…

After recently seeing a couple of YouTube reviews for DOS games that looked really fun, and that I’ve never played, I decided to look for the best way to play them on modern hardware. Upon doing some quick research, I found 3 potential options, each of which seemed very viable. Virtualization via an application like…
3D printing is something that I didn’t think I’d ever get in to. To be honest, I’m still not really “in to it,” but I do find it frustratingly enjoyable for reasons I can’t explain. About a month ago I picked up a used Anet E10 3D printer from someone local that had it advertised…
