Microsoft Research Releases Anti-Recon Security Tool

Microsoft Research Releases Anti-Recon Security Tool

Security researchers at Microsoft have released a PowerShell script that aims at stopping attackers from pulling off reconnaissance in a compromised network.

The tool, Net Case, was released late last week and modifies Net Session Enumeration (NetSessionEnum) default permissions so that if an attacker enters a network from a specific end point, they won’t be able to jump to a new target in that same network to gather intel. If unprotected, those who have breached a network can gather personal information, including name of specific PCs and IP addresses, session active and idle information, and names of those who have opened a specific session through the NetSessionEnum. Net Case looks to block the access points to the information that could easily be accessible through the use of tools like the widely available NetSess tool.

Update in Asp.Net

An Update on ASP.NET Core and .NET Core

Microsoft decided to rename ASP.NET 5 to ASP.NET Core 1.0.  So ASP.NET 5 would be now ASP.NET Core 1.0, .NET Core 5 is now .NET Core 1.0 and Entity Framework 7 is now Entity Framework Core 1.0

Microsoft have been working towards “One ASP.NET” now for years and we’re there. ASP.NET Core is versioned as 1.0 as it’s a near complete rewrite of ASP.NET with many new features and capabilities.

ASP.NET Core 1.0 is not a continuation of ASP.NET 4.6. It is a whole new framework, a side-by-side project which happily lives alongside everything else we know. It is an actual re-write of the current ASP.NET 4.6 framework, but much smaller and a lot more modular.
