Write About Everything

For both tandem and side-by-side flags in synchronized flapping, the phase difference depends nearly monotonically on separation distance. His rather nice garden flags two sided have prompted my sudden enthusiasm for my own Banner work, having had a bit of a turn (which necessitated an ambulance ride) recently I have had to give painting a bit of a miss, my hands and eyes don’t seem to work on the same plane, dimension “what have you” and general Tom Foolery on the computer has been keeping me active and sane so why not sit down and work out flaggery. For TLS encapsulated protocols, channel binding prevents the authentication being relayed as I didn’t find any way of spoofing the TLS certificate at the same time. The true believer does not consider that the alternative is just as plausible – that all (uncomplicated) throat infections get better with time. At the same time I’ll note some interesting quirks in the implementation which you might find useful.

While it might be possible to perform the same attacks through DNS spoofing attacks, these are likely to be much less reliable than local DNS spoofing attacks. As my research focused entirely on the network protocols themselves and not the ways of inducing authentication, they will all be covered under the same Moderate severity. This was because Microsoft determined it to be a Moderate severity issue (see this for the explanation of the severities). I recently discovered a configuration issue with the Windows Firewall which allowed the restrictions to be bypassed and allowed an AppContainer process to access the network. As the mechanism that the Windows Firewall uses to restrict access to the network from an AppContainer isn’t officially documented as far as I know, I’ll provide the details on how the restrictions are implemented. The 2042 specialists have access to all of their modern tech, while the 1942 soldiers are lumped with the classic class system and gear from the past. Enabling this one will speed things up, but only when websites have been optimized for it. A list of ‘must see’ things in the village and a map showing the whereabouts of the Holy Well, the 16th century pottery kiln and the roman road.

As we made our way down Landscape Road, the first things we noticed were the flags. One way to address this would be to simply prohibit the emigration of skilled New Zealand workers. Finally, blocking untrusted devices on the network such as through 802.1X or requiring authenticated IPsec/IKEv2 for all network communications to high value services would go some way to limiting the impact of all authentication relay attacks. Being able to bypass network restrictions in AppContainer sandboxes is interesting as it expands the attack surface available to the application, such as being able to access services on localhost, as well as granting access to intranet resources in an Enterprise. Requiring signing or sealing on the protocol if possible is sufficient to prevent the majority of attack vectors, especially on important network services such as LDAP. While DNS is a common thread and is the root cause of the majority of these protocol issues, it’s still possible to spoof SPNs using other protocols such as AuthIP and MSRPC without needing to play DNS tricks. After doing more research into other network protocols I decided to use the AuthIP issue as a bellwether on Microsoft’s views on whether relaying Kerberos authentication and spoofing SPNs would cross a security boundary.

However, any network facing service which can be used to induce authentication where the attacker does not have existing network authentication credentials is considered an Important severity spoofing issue and will be fixed. MDNS spoofing attack such as the venerable Python Responder. Disabling LLMNR and MDNS should always be best practice, and this just highlights the dangers of leaving them enabled. While I wrote my own tooling to perform the LLMNR attack there are various public tools which can mount an LLMNR. Although of course, an attacker could still compromise a trusted host and use that to mount the attack. How you can use some of my tooling to inspect the current firewall configuration. Instead you’d use a firewall product which exposes a user interface, and then configures WFP to do the actual firewalling. For example, some HTTP user agents support disabling automatic Windows authentication entirely, while others such as Firefox don’t enable it by default. For example the HTTP Negotiate RFC states how to build the SPN for Kerberos, but then each implementation does it slightly differently and not to the RFC specification. For example an authenticated user could register a DNS entry for the local domain using this value.
