About to set myself up with a new work desktop! Dell Precision 3630 mid size. 512gb NVMe, 1TB spinner, i7-9700, 32 RAMs. Oh, also 4x mini-DP outs for super multi display.

Why so much storage?

That's the way the boss ordered 10 new machines. The dev team needs the storage more than I do, but I'm grabbing one for me while they are still available. And I will likely swap the 1TB for a 500gb SSD. I tend to hoard ISOs and other installers.

They need 1 TB+ of local storage? So I assume then that their machines are being backed up? or they have an insane need for temporary storage, but not fast temporary storage?

You host them from your PC? not a server or NAS? uh... OK.

More storage is on the way. And our devs hoard multiple copies of customer databases for development, testing, production, etc. And we have some huge customer DBs, many 300gb +.

Well laissez les bons temps rouler! My girlfriend is making a king cake later.
I think I'm going to make fastnacht tonight for my girls. I need to pick up some frying oil though.
Those are good, never seen them here.

I thought there was a "store password with reversable hash" option in AD? Granted, you should never user it.
The password is never stored. Simply the hash is easily reversible into the password.
So to dumb this down for me, when I type my password in, what I type gets hashed and if the stored hash matches my recently typed in hash, then I get access.
So it's the hash algorithm that is the important part and not the password. Is that correct?

@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Correct. The local machine sends a hash to the AD server to see if the hashes match. If the hashes match, it knows that you are who you say that you are.

@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

And additionally, the hash is normally not reversible. That bit of this was simply in response to what @Dashrender posted.

Right. All of the actual work and security is done on the client. All the AD DC does is say "yup, that is the hash that I have on record" or "nope, that doesn't match what I have."

This is how all good applications function with passwords. The only thing ever stored is a hash.

Right, nothing unique or special here. Really just working in the obvious way. Passing passwords around the network would be a security disaster for sure.

So how does that work with cached credentials?

thanks for the info guys, it's little bits and pieces like this that get forgotten or never learnt that help fill in gaps here and there.

Cached never get sent on. It's the same as a local password check.

https://www.thespruceeats.com/fastnacht-doughnut-recipe-427747That's pretty much the recipe my great-grandmother left us, what little German we could translate....
The end result....I made way to many.
