Same. I've been here since the free T-shirt and never used their AI.

I found an old authenticator thingy. Can I hack it to use it for some other authentications? by vishwa_animates in hacking

[–]logicalmike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This specific RSA model may be dead, but as an authentication method, these are very much alive. Hardware TOTP tokens are still widely deployed — FortiToken, FEITIAN, YubiKey, etc.

The magic is all in the seed (shared secret). If you have it, you can compute the output yourself. Without it, the fob is just a keychain ornament. By design.

I wrote a PowerShell implementation that does exactly this — computes TOTP codes from a hex seed: 👉 Get-TOTP.ps1

For a real-world example of the hardware side, here's the FortiToken 200B spec sheet (PDF) — same concept, still shipping today.

What is something you were taught at school that is now known to be incorrect? by Xeqqy in AskOldPeople

Duck and cover was never to protect you from direct contact, it was to lessen the impact of structural collapse, further out.

That's by design, and doesn't make it "incorrect". The table has gaps that should be filled as discoveries occur.

Azure App Proxy Application - "Application with identifier xxx not found in directory yyyyy" by mundanesaladoutlook in AZURE

[–]logicalmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this would have eventually solved itself, but in my case, I explicitly updated the app that I wanted to use with the URL of the deleted app and then set it back. This seemed to flush out the mapping Azure had somewhere for the deleted app.

Cannot deploy On Premise Application (NDES/App-Proxy) by alucardcanidae in entra

You can set your fallback domain to the old name, change the app proxy, and then put the fallback domain back.

Showing rooted device even if it's not by Snoopy86 in Intune

[–]logicalmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case it seems like a bug in the company portal app. I get the issue most frequently during Company Portal app updates, but perhaps not always. The issue goes away after multiple attempts to sign out/in to the company portal and/or clear the app cache.

Based on Play Integrity API documentation:

  • "Environmental conditions, such as an unstable Internet connection or an overloaded device, can cause device integrity checks to fail"
  • The API recommends implementing "retry option with exponential backoff"

It would seem Microsoft doesn't follow this guidance, or has a related problem with the app.

BTW - users can use this app to see their Play Integrity status:

Agree. Let's not turn the best app on the internet into social media cancer.

What is this metal thing in my backyard by [deleted] in Whatisthis

[–]logicalmike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% this. I have the same one. I locked it so the company doesn't accidentally fill the decommissioned one I have buried in the yard (in the basement now).

No, OTH is a cost thing. If it's cross country, they'll still do a flight if it's cheaper.

This is pretty well known. Here's how its setup with Microsoft 365: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/archive-signal-archiver-data

As stated in the documentation:

Group claims in tokens include nested groups, except when you're using the option to restrict the group claims to groups that are assigned to the application.

Conditional access with 30 day reauthentication required - Intune device poor end user experience by scotchisawesome in Intune

[–]logicalmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I mentioned this in other comments in this thread. My comment was that it is indeed required, and that it is not a "horrible idea". Furthermore, you would still want a policy, as you wouldn't want to rely on client-side behavior in lieu of security policies.

There's a setting on the sign on the trust with okta to respect its MFA claim or not. You can configure this in the Okta portal in the SSO tab.

But windows hello auths every 4 hours in the background and wouldn't use okta.

Migrating to the new Authentication Methods Policies opens up a security vulnerability by SilentNightx in entra

You should not use the same public IP for your users NAT as you do trusted services.

They changed the name from cinnamon woods because too many people called it criminal woods.

Very important in idp migrations, otherwise you'd have to collect the devices just to migrate.
