How'd it go?

@WrCombs Something to look forward to
Me to my "new" boss: "we should make this change to allow for better security, require everyone to MFA at least x amount"
Answer I'm expecting: We'll have to research it and pass it up the chain (that would have been my old job)
Answer I got: "You're the security officer, make it so"

Me: When did I become the security officer?
New Boss: Just now!

<insert Dragon Quest / Dragon Warrior level up music>
Courage and with hath served the well. You have been promoted to Security Officer.

Health+5
Int+10

If you're having trouble with the Exchange Admin stuff on O365, you can use the classic view:

day for admin issues I guess - our EMR is also having admin level issues.

Fun stuff. I wonder if that's why my powershell scripts to o365 are running so slowly too.

Slurping coffee #2
Still uncertain if it's Monday today or something else.

It's shaping up to be a Monday, unfortunately. Drink coffee until you can see in triplicate and then go forth and conquer.

Played some Nancy Drew the other night.

Having read most of them from when I was a kid, I wonder how fun the games are, lol. I still remember a lot of them.

Yeah. I'm still in the beginning of the story. Just got to the church with the guy in tow, lol.

Have you already played Morrowind or Skyrim? Or are you just starting your Elder Scrolls journey?

I've played Skyrim -- it was a lot of fun. I somehow wound up with the Steam VR version too. It's a lot of fun to play on a VR headset.

And yeah RIGHT at the beginning of Oblivion, lol.

Yeah. I'm still in the beginning of the story. Just got to the church with the guy in tow, lol.

I have Steam Keys available for Elder Scrolls Morrowind

and Dark Eye: Memoria if anybody wants them.

I've been playing a lot of Morrowind multiplayer recently (TES3MP)

I've got Oblivion and have been playing that off and on.

It's a great game. And a time suck. I put 350 hours into that. Beat "everything." It's got some great moments, for sure.

lol. I'm all about the Story & lore in games... I just have to remember to not get into a rush to finish the game some times.

@WrCombs said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Letter of resignation has been submitted.

Sweet! Congratz on the new job! When do you start it?

Some of us want details from the fallout, lol.

You look like one of the duck commander folks in that picture.

@Florida_man said in Experience with NDR Solutions:

Build your solutions with zero trust and this really isn't much of an issue anymore. The main reason people do this shit is for compliance purposes to check boxes. If they really cared about security, they'd design the infrastructure in a way where this type of shit isn't even necessary.

The problem with doing that is what if there's a vulnerability in the application/website itself? Something that allows unauthenticated attackers to do 'Bad Things'.

I think you are right in that a lot of the tools will block some legit traffic, but that's also why you spend some time with the tools you use to learn them and figure out where and how to fine tune what is allowed / blocked and what it sends you alerts on.

If you want to stick in that vein, I'm familiar with two of them. Snort and Suricata.

I've run both in IPS mode (where they actively block attacks). Suricata is the more performant option from my experience.

It's been a while since I've run either of them on live traffic though.

@scottalanmiller said in Experience with NDR Solutions:

What experience do y'all have with NDR (Network Detection and Response) solutions? Any that you've used, like, don't like? Anything open source out there? Thanks.

Are you talking along the lines of Intrusion Detection or something more sophisticated?

We all know who's doing the fishing around here!
