In this example we’ll show you how to configure storage reports in Windows Server 2016, however the steps are very similar to older versions of the Windows operating system.

The BSides Canberra 2017 conference just wrapped up along with the capture the flag event and I wanted to document my solution to one of the two memory analysis challenges from the forensic category titled “Rekt Exfil”.
I was keen to try this challenge as I’m pretty interested in memory analysis. The first time I ever attempted a memory challenge was actually during the BSides Canberra 2016 CTF, so it’s been a full year since my first time.

We can configure file screens with File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) in Windows Server 2016 to restrict users from saving defined file types to the file share. For example, we can configure file screening to deny users from saving large video files on the file server.
In this example we’ll show you how to configure file screens in Windows Server 2016, however the steps are very similar to older versions of the Windows operating system.

How can we find where the default configuration files for the httpd package in CentOS are located?
By using the RPM command we can query a package to find all of its associated configuration files. Failing that we can use the find command to search the file system for these files, as we will see here.

In this example we’ll show you how to configure quotas in Windows Server 2016, however the steps are very similar to older versions of the Windows operating system.

Credential Guard is a new feature available in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 that uses virtualization based security to store NTLM and Kerberos secrets in an isolated process.
Without Credential Guard, these secrets are stored in the memory of user accessible processes, making them available to tools such as mimikatz with administrative privileges.
Credential Guard helps protect against this, we’ll be discussing the requirements for setting up Credential Guard here.
