David ShipleyHOST
The culprit here is a security feature called machine identity isolation.
David ShipleyHOST
The September updates cause Windows to start honoring any existing policy that enables enforcement, but that feature only works in environments running Windows Server twenty twenty five domain controllers.
David ShipleyHOST
Everywhere else, it breaks authentication.
David ShipleyHOST
The workaround requires admins to disable the feature the same way it was enabled through Intune group policy or registry, then restart and repair the secure channel.
Ryan LucasHOST
Yeah.
Ryan LucasHOST
So Windows Server 2025 on AKS is finally generally available.
Ryan LucasHOST
In the year 2026, we get Windows 2025.
Ryan LucasHOST
Giving a path forward as older Windows Server versions approach the end of life support.
Ryan LucasHOST
Key improvements include stable ABI updates
Jonathan BakerHOST
Is
Ryan LucasHOST
that ABI? Is that real or is that a typo? Generation 2 VM is the default container 2.0 runtime and a FIPS compliance enabled by default for regulator workloads.
Ryan LucasHOST
This targets enterprise running Windows-based containerized workloads, you poor suckers.
Michael SouleGUEST
Yeah, and it's around NTLM and...
Michael SouleGUEST
If you've ever gone through trying to remove an authentication protocol like NTLM out of your environment, it's a lot of work, but they're literally adding new capabilities to the Windows Server operating systems now to give you better visibility and troubleshooting.
Michael SouleGUEST
And even talking with Steve, he's like, yeah, these are the things that I would have to fight with and correlate myself when he was troubleshooting that he's like, this should just be a log.
Michael SouleGUEST
We shouldn't make you have to replay events to get the right telemetry.
17 MINS LATER
Michael SouleGUEST
So that is definitely an area that needs more improvement.
Michael SouleGUEST
And then the tiering itself, getting some codified logic of trying to do discovery of what is a tier zero group and where are those access control entries applied.
Sam ErdeGUEST
So now people might be wondering, you said infrastructure and workloads a bunch of times in the past five minutes, Windows server environments.
Sam ErdeGUEST
And so there's things beyond Active Directory itself, like the DNS server role.
David ShipleyHOST
The first, the ShieldCrash zero-day proved one of those patches could be bypassed outright, and now this proves that even the patches that work can break the systems that they're meant to protect.
David ShipleyHOST
The fix list covers Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2019 through 2025.
David ShipleyHOST
The server updates are available only through the Microsoft Update Catalog.
David ShipleyHOST
Before the permanent fix landed, some administrators simply uninstalled the September updates to get Remote Desktop back, which restored functionality, but it also removed security fixes.
Dave BittnerHOST
Affected systems experienced RDP connection and sign-in failures, unresponsive servers, and problems with related Windows tools.
Dave BittnerHOST
The updates also fix some Hyper-V shared folder problems and USB multi-channel audio failures across several Windows and Windows Server versions.
Dave BittnerHOST
The cryptocurrency industry faces a critical test in the Senate today as lawmakers consider advancing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or Clarity Act.
Dave BittnerHOST
The legislation would establish a federal regulatory framework for digital assets and divide oversight between the SEC and CFTC, with the CFTC taking a larger role.
Ernie PrescottHOST
It is an absolute heavyweight.
Ernie PrescottHOST
Connect Sync requires a full Windows server deployment physically sitting on-premises or in your private cloud, usually backed by a full SQL database.
JoséeHOST
Wow, that's heavy.
Ernie PrescottHOST
It is the sync engine you're forced to use when you have massive, highly complex, deeply entrenched environments.
Ernie PrescottHOST
Only Connect Sync supports the deep multi-directional attribute flow required to keep an exchange hybrid environment from collapsing in on itself.
JoséeHOST
But the operational tax of running the freight train is brutal.
JoséeHOST
I mean, you have to patch the underlying Windows Server operating system.
JoséeHOST
You have to back up the SQL database.
AkankshaHOST
Understanding their psychological manipulation techniques is paramount for both attackers seeking entry points and defenders aiming to build a resilient human firewall.
AkankshaHOST
So to illustrate these concept, we'll be using Kali Linux, uh, and the Windows Server virtual machine.
AkankshaHOST
So again, we'll have to power on these both machines, and then once that's powered on, we'll start the, number one, the first part, which will be installing and configuring the FatRat tool on the Kali Linux machine.
AkankshaHOST
So open your Kali Linux and open the terminal.
AkankshaHOST
Then go back to your Kali where your Metasploit is running and see the meterpreter session has been created, confirming successful exploitation of PM.
AkankshaHOST
Once the meterpreter session established, you exploit the victim's machine by executing post-exploitation activity.
AkankshaHOST
So in your meterpreter session on Kali, use the command sysinfo to gather basic system information about the compromised Windows server.
AkankshaHOST
Then use the command dir to list files and directories of the target system.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Affected systems, experienced failed connections and sign-ins, unresponsive servers, and problems in related tools including Microsoft Management Console and File Explorer.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Microsoft issued out-of-band updates on September 14 for affected Windows and Windows Server versions.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The emergency releases also address some Hyper-V and USB multi-channel audio problems, although they don't fix every remaining USB audio issue.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Some administrators restored remote desktop access by uninstalling the September security updates, but that also removed the security fixes included with them.
speaker_6HOST
Exactly.
speaker_6HOST
An API call or like a registry path that works perfectly on Windows 11 might throw a fatal exception on an unpatched Windows Server 2016 box.
speaker_5HOST
Oh, wow.
speaker_5HOST
So the RS version literally dictates the operational branch the code takes next.
Steve O'BrienHOST
Windows desktop is designed for telemetry, and that's it.
Steve O'BrienHOST
And server is... still trying to be solid and stable and functional, and it's done.
Steve O'BrienHOST
I mean, Windows servers have gone a long way in the past 35 years since the first, I mean, when Windows servers came on online back in the 90s what 90 NT 4.0 server came in around 96 97 and it could damn it could almost it could stay up for almost a month sometimes And people were like, what the hell? And so now a server is better.
Steve O'BrienHOST
I don't know how long.
Steve O'BrienHOST
Do you reboot your machine, your 22 server often, or does it stay up for days and months on end?
