Die Indtanz ist kaputt, Zugang nur über Apps und Drittfrontends. Schon länger. Ich hab die letzten Tage nicht bewusst Posts von slrpnk gesehen, aber weiß, dass die regelmäßig in meinem All-Feed waren. Daher würde ich eher auf technische Probleme denn einen Block tippen. Wenn wir nicht ins Frontend kommen, kann das der Admin auch nicht.

anything with a CPU in it

If we count microcontroller as CPUs, that would include basically anything that runs with electricity. But I like that thought even more that way

You're right, but this basically implies that you get all access to documentation. Remember the good old days, when a manual included even circuit diagrams, procedure for test points, etc?

Yeah, not everything needs to have a microprocessor in it, but only few items of those do really have none

Not necessarily. You could have a sensor that detects when the water reservoir is emptied that doesn't need logic - e.g.

• a floater with a magnet. If it reaches the bottom, a magnet sensor detects that the water now emptied (or in the coffee pot) or
• a temperature dependent resistor. If there's no more water, the temperature in the heater rises and the voltage rises on a wire. If the voltage (=temperature) is above a certain level you get a signal

You can then use those signals to do something like switch off the heater, change a light,... all without using a microcontroller. There's no programming needed for that. You might see things like transistors and some basic digital circuitry here but it's all very basic and still far from a microcontroller.

Peace was never an option

elvith OP , vor 2 Monaten

Grundsätzlich ja, aber eine Bahn mit Betrunkenen zu teilen ist je nach Anzahl und deren Verhalten auch nicht gerade schön...

Pluspunkt ist da tatsächlich, dass diejenigen gerade nicht am Steuer sitzen.

Also please pre-install the sysinternals suite, thanks

Never thought about that, but since these tools just work, when you copy them to your PC.... how does psexec do that? It'd either need you to be an administrator (and then it's not really a privilege escalation as you could have registered any program into the task scheduler or as a service to run as SYSTEM) or it'd need a delegate service, that should only be available when you use an installer - which again wasn't was has been done when just copying the tool.

I found a blog post outlining exactly that. If you use it locally, it will install and start a service temporarily. That service runs as SYSTEM and invokes your command. To succeed, you need to be a local administrator.

If you try the same remote, it tries to access \\remote-server-ip\$admin and installs the service with that. To succeed your current account on your local machine must exist on the remote machine and must be an administrator there.

So in short: It only works, if you've already the privilege to do so and the tool itself is not (ab)using a privilege escalation or something like that. Any hacker and virus may do the very same and doesn't need psexec - it's just easier for them to use that tool.

Das Vierte merkste nicht mal, die anderen drei erziehen es ja für dich
