If I can offer an observation, 20+ years into my software career: Long term, your kindness and helpfulness are vastly more impactful than your technical skills. People will remember how you made them feel. They're much less likely to remember that awesome function you wrote.

While the ideal is to see a story of ongoing improvement and progress, the reality is that careers can be messy. This is especially true for those who lack privilege. People sometimes take a job because they need access to health insurance for a sick loved one.

Let us not forget Paunch buying zero-days on the open market to further Black Hole back in the early 2010s…

It took a while, but the English version of the macOS Forensics Hands-on Workshop materials are now available. Have fun! jsac.jpcert.or.jp/archive/20… jsac.jpcert.or.jp/archive/20… #DFIR #JSAC2022

Certainly eliminates Exchange as the initial breach, but it will be a juicy target after they get in with stolen VPN credentials

Even if you still have to maintain local Exchange in a hybrid environment, those machines can be completely isolated from the Internet and most of your infrastructure.

Definitely avoids a raft of problems, and keeps a large cache of user creds away from your home network. Pay extra for higher levels of M365 auditing to help you troubleshoot cloud issues.

The most common indicator we’re seeing is w3wp.exe spawning csc.exe. Look for webshells under …\Exchange Server\*\FrontEnd\HttpProxy\{owa,ecp}\*

Because there is no integrated calendaring solution.

Recent experience is teaching me that it’s impossible to securely run Exchange on prem. It’s been the initial point of entry for numerous compromises.

Notes from the IR front lines — if you have on-prem Exchange, assume compromise. Also start a plan to migrate to Microsoft 365… yesterday.
