Episode description

Who doesn't love a new tool? In this episode of Security Noise, Geoff and Skyler talk to Senior Research Analyst Alex Ball about his new open-source tool DIT Explorer. DIT Explorer opens a .dit file of your choosing (NTDS.dit is the file housing the data for Windows Active Directory), loads the directory schema, and presents the objects as a tree. Alex takes us through the tool's functions, why and how he created it, and upcoming updates.
