​Welcome to episode 277 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Ryan, and Matthew are your hosts this week for a news packed show. This week we dive into the latest in cloud computing with announcements from Google’s new AI search tools, Meta’s open-sourced AI models, and Microsoft Copilot’s expanded capabilities. We've also got Oracle releases, and some non-liquid Java on the agenda (but also the liquid kind, too) and Class E IP addresses. Plus, be sure to stay tuned for the aftershow!  Titles we almost went with this week: Which cloud provider does not have llama 3.2 Vmware says we will happily help you support your old Microsoft OS's for $$$$ Class E is the best kind of IP Space Microsoft says trust AI, and so does Skynet 3.2 Llama's walked into an AI bar…  Google gets cranky about MS Licensing, join the club Write Your Prompts, Optimize them with Vertex Prompts Analyzer, rinse repeat into a        vortex of optimization Oracle releases Java 23, Cloud Pod Uses Amazon Corretto 23 instead Oracle releases Java 23, Cloud Pod still says run! MK  A big thanks to this week's sponsor: Archera There are a lot of cloud cost management tools out there. But only Archera provides cloud commitment insurance. It sounds fancy but it’s really simple. Archera gives you the cost savings of a 1 or 3 year AWS Savings Plan with a commitment as short as 30 days. If you don’t use all the cloud resources you’ve committed to, they will literally put money back in your bank account to cover the difference. Other cost management tools may say they offer “commitment insurance”, but remember to ask: will you actually give me my money back? Archera will.

Mira Murati spent 6.5 years at the company, and was named CEO temporarily when the board ousted co-founder Sam Altman.   “It’s hard to overstate how much Mira has meant to OpenAI, our mission, and to us all personally,” Altman wrote. “I feel tremendous gratitude towards her for what she has helped us build and accomplish, but most of all, I feel personal gratitude towards her for her support and love during all the hard times. I am excited for what she’ll do next.” Mira oversaw the development of ChatGPT and image generator Dall-E. She was also a pretty public face for the company, appearing in its videos and interviewing journalists. The other two departures were Barret Zoph, who was the company’s Vice President of Research and Chief Research officer Bob McGrew

Microsoft had confusion in the Windows 2000 marketing and disappointment with Millennium Edition, which was built on a kernel that had run its course. It was time to phase out the older 95, 98, and Millennium code. So in 2001, Microsoft introduced Windows NT 5.1, known as Windows XP (eXperience). XP came in a Home or Professional edition.  Microsoft built a new interface they called Whistler for XP. It was sleeker and took more use of the graphics processors of the day. Jim Allchin was the Vice President in charge of the software group by then and helped spearhead development. XP had even more security options, which were simplified in the home edition. They did a lot of work to improve the compatibility between hardware and software and added the option for fast user switching so users didn't have to log off completely and close all of their applications when someone else needed to use the computer. They also improved on the digital media experience and added new libraries to incorporate DirectX for various games.  Professional edition also added options that were more business focused. This included the ability to join a network and Remote Desktop without the need of a third party product to take control of the keyboard, video, and mouse of a remote computer. Users could use their XP Home Edition computer to log into work, if the network administrator could forward the port necessary. XP Professional also came with the ability to support multiple processors, send faxes, an encrypted file system, more granular control of files and other objects (including GPOs), roaming profiles (centrally managed through Active Directory using those GPOs), multiple language support, IntelliMirror (an oft forgotten centralized management solution that included RIS and sysprep for mass deployments), an option to do an Automated System Recovery, or ASR restore of a computer. Professional also came with the ability to act as a web server, not that anyone should run one on a home operating system. XP Professional was also 64-bit given the right processor. XP Home Edition could be upgraded to from Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Millineum, and XP Professional could be upgraded to from any operating system since Windows 98 was released., including NT 4 and Windows 2000 Professional. And users could upgrade from Home to Professional for an additional $100.   Microsoft also fixed a few features. One that had plagued users was that they had to gracefully unmount a drive before removing it; Microsoft got in front of this when they removed the warning that a drive was disconnected improperly and had the software take care of that preemptively. They removed some features users didn't really use like NetMeeting and Phone Dialer and removed some of the themes options. The 3D Maze was also sadly removed. Other options just cleaned up the interface or merged technologies that had become similar, like Deluxe CD player and DVD player were removed in lieu of just using Windows Media Player. And chatty network protocols that caused problems like NetBEUI and AppleTalk were removed from the defaults, as was the legacy Microsoft OS/2 subsystem. In general, Microsoft moved from two operating system code bases to one. Although with the introduction of Windows CE, they arguably had no net-savings. However, to the consumer and enterprise buyer, it was a simpler licensing scheme. Those enterprise buyers were more and more important to Microsoft. Larger and larger fleets gave them buying power and the line items with resellers showed it with an explosion in the number of options for licensing packs and tiers. But feature-wise Microsoft had spent the Microsoft NT and Windows 2000-era training thousands of engineers on how to manage large fleets of Windows machines as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSE) and other credentials. Deployments grew and by the time XP was released, Microsoft had the lions' share of the market for desktop operating systems and productivity apps. XP would only cement that lead and create a generation of systems administrators equipped to manage the platform, who never knew a way other than the Microsoft way. One step along the path to the MCSE was through servers. For the first couple of years, XP connected to Windows 2000 Servers. Windows Server 2003, which was built on the Windows NT 5.2 kernel, was then released in 2003. Here, we saw Active Directory cement a lead created in 2000 over servers from Novell and other vendors. Server 2003 became the de facto platform for centralized file, print, web, ftp, software  time, DHCP, DNS, event, messeging, and terminal services (or shared Remote Desktop services through Terminal Server). Server 2003 could also be purchased with Exchange 2003. Given the integration with Microsoft Outlook and a number of desktop services, Microsoft Exchange.  The groupware market in 2003 and the years that followed were dominated by Lotus Notes, Novell's GroupWise, and Exchange. Microsoft was aggressive. They were aggressive on pricing. They released tools to migrate from Notes to Exchange the week before IBM's conference. We saw some of the same tactics and some of the same faces that were involved in Microsoft's Internet Explorer anti-trust suit from the 1990s. The competition to Change never recovered and while Microsoft gained ground in the groupware space through the Exchange Server 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016 eras, by Exchange 2019 over half the mailboxes formerly hosted by on premises Exchange servers had moved to the cloud and predominantly Microsoft's Office 365 cloud service. Some still used legacy Unix mail services like sendmail or those hosted by third party providers like GoDaddy with their domain or website - but many of those ran on Exchange as well. The only company to put up true competition in the space has been Google. Other companies had released tools to manage Windows devices en masse. Companies like Altiris sprang out of needs for companies who did third party software testing to manage the state of Windows computers. Microsoft had a product called Systems Management Server but Altiris built a better product, so Microsoft built an even more robust solution called System Center Configuration Management server, or SCCM for short, and within a few years Altiris lost so much business they were acquired by Symantec. Other similar stories played out across other areas where each product competed with other vendors and sometimes market segments - and usually won. To a large degree this was because of the tight hold Windows had on the market. Microsoft had taken the desktop metaphor and seemed to own the entire stack by the end of the Windows XP era. However, the technology we used was a couple of years after the product management and product development teams started to build it. And by the end of the XP era, Bill Gates had been gone long enough, and many of the early stars that almost by pure will pushed products through development cycles were as well. Microsoft continued to release new versions of the operating systems but XP became one of the biggest competitors to later operating systems rather than other companies. This reluctance to move to Vista and other technologies was the main reason extended support for XP through to 2012, around 11 years after it was released. 

In another massive gaming acquisition, Microsoft has announced its plans to buy Activision Blizzard. We look at various angles of this news, including the prospects of exclusivity and revival of older franchises. In addition to other weekly news, Dan and Zac take time to analyze the Microsoft OS that wasn't meant to be: Andromeda.

In Part 2 of this OS migration discussion, Georgia and Tim continue to discuss a common concern we hear regarding the lack of internal IT resources, and overcoming outdated concerns regarding Android security issues and compatibility with legacy Windows business critical applications.

In this brief 5-min podcast, Georgia speaks with Tim Martin, a veteran within the mobile computing space who has helped customers like Backcountry.com, Merit Medical, and Intermountain Healthcare navigate the Microsoft Windows Mobile/CE operating system migration.

Seems like every business I meet with needs some sort of help in the patching department. Maybe they've got the Microsoft OS side of the house under control, but the third-party stuff is lacking. Or vice-versa. Either way, the team I work with is excited to kick the tires of some popular patching solutions over the next few weeks, and we'll audibly barf up what we learn into this mini-series! Solutions we'll poke around with include: Ninite ManageEngine PDQ Deploy PS: None of these solutions are sponsoring 7MS. They're just popular patching solutions we're trying out to learn more about 'em and give you the pros/cons we discover! In today's episode I dive a bit into... Ninite Pros Cheap Does one thing, and does it well Been around for a long time Cloud-based - doesn't rely on LAN-side server Cons Only cloud-based...no LAN-side option Requires an agent Agent's only purpose is patching - no extra bells/whistles like remote control or inventorying capability

These regions are great hiding places and more; e.g. Using PTE shellcode from ring3 to induce code into ring0. Hiding rootkits with encoded and decoded page table entries. Additional ranges/vectors, Kernel Shim Engine, ACPI/AML, boot-up resources & artifacts will also be shown to be useful for code gadgets. Understanding the state of affairs with the changes between Win7/8 and what exposures were closed and which may remain. APT threats abuse many of these areas to avoid inspection. By the end of this session will also show you how to walk a page table, why Windows8 makes life easier, what to look for and how to obtain a comprehensive understanding of what possible code is hiding/running on your computer. Final thoughts on using a VM memory snapshot to fully describe/understand any possible code running on a Windows system. Shane “K2” Macaulay last DEF CON presentation was an offensive tool ADMmutate during DEF CON 9 but has more recently been focused on defensive techniques and helped develop an APT detection service (http://blockwatch.ioactive.com) used to protect Microsoft OS platforms. Shane has spent time finding ways to fully understand the state of system code to understand “What is actually running on your computer?” to aid in forensic analysis, incident response and enterprise protection capacities. Shane is currently employed by IOActive as Directory of Cloud Security and has presented at many previous security conferences/venues.
