IT Pros: some big SMB protocol news today. Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25951 now supports:

1. SMB NTLM blocking
2. SMB server and client dialect mgmt

A short thread about what this means /1 aka.ms/wip25951
aka.ms/SmbNtlmBlock
aka.ms/SmbDialectMana…
Group policy showing NTLM blocking SMB NTLM blocking means an admin can prevent any use of NTLM in the SMB client, effectively restricting users & apps to Kerberos. No NTLM challenge response/"hash" will go on the wire, meaning no phishing, relaying, or cracking of NTLM /2

CVE-2022-26809 has nothing to do with SMB, it's an RPC vuln where a variety of transports can be used, like TCP/135, SMB/445, etc.

But I want to use this opportunity to talk about good techniques to stop an attacker from abusing SMB & the future of SMB security 🧵 /1 The SMB-related CVEs from this month are relying on a user's client being tricked into talking to an evil server via remote file system. That means "block inbound at your edge firewall" likely doesn't help. The attacker doesn't need your network & risks detection using it /2

76 years ago this month, the 614th Tank Destroyer battalion engaged the Nazis in combat. This all-Black unit would be the 1st awarded the Presidential Unit Citation & one of its officers, Lt Charles Thomas - eventually - awarded 1 of just 7 Medals of Honor in WW2. /Thread The 614th formed at Camp Carson, CO then moved to Camp Hood, TX for training. They became a towed tank destroyer unit, manning the M5 3" gun. Crews served this gun with little protection & would take significantly higher casualties in the war than self-propelled units. /2
