So, you need the private key for a certificate on Windows, for some innocent snooping around with Wireshark, but someone marked it as not exportable. Now what? Cue Gentil Kiwi and his tool Mimikatz. For future reference for myself, I’ve archived a copy of the source here, and the binaries here. The following commands will […]

I have to admit this is cargo cult SQL to me, but here’s how to find running queries, sorted by their total elapsed time: SELECT [sqltext].[TEXT], [req].[session_id], [req].[status], [req].[command], [req].[cpu_time], [req].[total_elapsed_time] FROM [sys].[dm_exec_requests] [req] CROSS APPLY [sys].[dm_exec_sql_text](sql_handle) AS sqltext ORDER BY [req].[total_elapsed_time] DESC To kill a given query, use: kill <session_id> ..without the brackets <>, […]

Next step: Autostart, and adding the tun […]

On a box I just upgraded, we run a script that’s supposed to add a new scheduled task. After the upgrade, attempting to create a new trigger would return this beauty: PS C:\Users\User> New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtStartup New-ScheduledTaskTrigger : Method “NewTriggerByStartup” not found + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (PS_ScheduledTask:Root/Microsoft/…S_ScheduledTask) [New-ScheduledTaskTrigger], CimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80041002,New-ScheduledTaskTrigger The solution […]
I recently had a need to do this at work, and was told by various forum posts and ##pfsense on freenode that it wasn’t a good idea and wasn’t possible. Well, we needed it anyway, so time to do some hacking 😀 Here’s the script I came up with. It employs tcpdump and tcpreplay to […]
I got this error message on the internal.server.host when forwarding an URL from an extrernal HTTP server to an internal HTTPS server: AH02032: Hostname internal.server.host provided via SNI and hostname external.server.host provided via HTTP are different The problem turned out to be that the internal server was trusting the external one’s X-Forwarded- headers, a feature […]
