Friday Fun Facts by Chad (January 28th, 2022)

With me, as always, is Garth..Happy Friday, y’all! I’ll be brief here, because I’m busy trying to celebrate both of these occasions simultaneously! Fun Fact: today is both National Have Fun at Work Day and National Kazoo Day! There’s no way that’s a coincidence. As annoying as it will be, I think you’re required to play a kazoo in the office today, assuming you’re in an office of some sort. So here’s my problem...like a lot of you, all of us AX’ers work from home/remotely. So, how can I have fun at work when I work from home? No, I’m actually asking. Please help. Anyways...speaking of fun and kazoo’s, here’s one of my favorite kazoo songs ever recorded for your Friday enjoyment.

Vulnerability Sync Updates

Hey everyone! If you haven’t already seen it, we’ve made updates to the vulnerability sync experience in the console Now there are more options for what CVE report type can be uploaded to the Automox console. We’ve added Qualys to our list of supported reports! Of course, you can continue to use CrowdStrike, Rapid7, and Tenable reports, or select “Generic Report” in other scenarios.Additionally, our Tenable support has been updated so you no longer need to manually modify it to be compatible with Automox - the report format is now supported out-of-the-box. We hope this expedites your workflow even more, so that you can fix vulnerabilities quickly with these integrations! We now also use case insensitive lookups, which should make searching by hostname or FQDN much smoother than before. Which CVE report type does your organization use? Drop a comment below! ‘Til Next Time,Jessica Starkey | Technical Marketing Engineer

QUESTION: How do you find out about the most relevant security news?

Politely, though!Hi, y’all - Chad here. We thought we’d take a minute today to throw out a question. Every week, we post our Security News Wrap-Up from sources we know and trust, but there’s a lot going on in the CyberWorld and we no doubt could miss stories here and there. While we rely on a few tried and true various publications, the more sources we can well, source, the better! Let us know - unless the “source” you trust is just your friend Shawn down in Florida who “works on computers” - let’s keep this sophisticated. So we’d like to ask: where do you get your security news?

VULNERABILITY UPDATE: Linux PwnKitNews

Hi, y’all - quick update for all you #Linux admins. The Linux PwnKit vulnerability is a nasty one, giving an attacker full root access on most major Linux distros. Over on the Automox Blog, our very own @Peter-Automox has written a piece that includes a worklet for quick remediation.Note: the evaluation script simply passes to remediation, which will disable pkexec's ability to operate as intended. Again, please thoroughly test before applying to systems in production. Check out Peter’s blog for the complete worklet: Linux PwnKit Vulnerability Gives Full Root Access on Most Major Distributions

Automox Q&A

Which new AX features are highest on your 2022 wishlist?

So what’cha want?Happy 2022, y’all! Even though we’ve barely stumbled into the start of 2020: Part III, I think we’re probably all ready for a cup of tea and a nap. But first, I have a question: What AX features are highest on your wishlist for 2022? Here, I’ll get us started: as an Admin, I’d like to see some remote device management in the AX console. (Sorry, but none of you can use that one now! )_______________________________________________________________________________ While we look to 2022, let’s also look back at 2021 - the features AX released last year came fast and furious at times, so we’ll do a quick recap. Give me just a second..so many new things..Recapping…..Okay, done! Here’s a quick, non-chronological rundown (organized by functionality), with some links to additional resources. If you have any questions about any of them, let us know in the comments. Automation Flexible Device & Package Targeting Gives admins the ability to target specific devices and/o

Having issues connecting PowerBI to Automox API

I am trying to get powerBi to pull data from: https://console.automox.com/api/servers I have been going over all the api documentation and reviewing powerbi support forums and I cannot get powerbi to pull the JSON I get the following error: A web API key can only be specified when a web API key name is provided I have tried using the API key as a username, doesn’t appear to work there either. Has anyone gotten PowerBi to successfully pull data from the Automox web api, and how did you do it?

Evaluation Code To check if a folder exist or not

Hi guys, I want to use a worklet to install the SCCM client, how would be the evalution code?, when is possible that the machine already has the client installed but pointing to an old sccm server.This worklet is intended to be used most over remote machines that connect to system center over VPN.So the evaluation code should check if “C:\Windows\ccmcache” exist or not, and run the remediation code exist or not the folder.I already has the remediation code ready and tested, just need the evaluation code that allow both conditions, exist or not the ccmcache folder. i know this code check if the folder exist, but not sure if also will run the remediation code if the folder not exist: if( Test-Path -Path "C:\Windows\ccmcache" ) {exit 1 }i Just need that worklet works exist or not the ccmcache folder Apprecciate any help.regards.

Security Wrap-Up (January 25th, 2022)News

Happy Tuesday, y’all! While we’ve all been busy this week debating the merit of single-possession overtime in organized ball sports (the correct answer is: “it’s stupid; fix it”), quite a few interesting things have been going on in the security world. I guess that’s becoming standard, but there were reports of some pretty newsworthy stories that I didn’t see on either the 7am, 10am, Noon, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, or 10pm news - and as a middle-aged white dude, I watch them all!So here are a few stories that seemed worthy of mention this week, at least by me:Google Drive now warns you of suspicious phishing, malware docsToday in “Lol, it’s about time”-news...Google has announced that Drive will finally start showing warnings about malicious files that are shared with your account. From the article: "Google will automatically evaluate any files that are shared with you from outside of your organization for phishing or malware. If detected, Google will block your access to the file in order to pro

Feedback on the Automox Reports (or my wishlist)

It would be really nice if I could have the option to go to the reports page and click on a date range and see what items are scheduled to patch (if it’s in the future), or what did patch (if it’s in the past).

Just curious, anyone else using ConnectWise Control and have you had any issues?

With Covid we have more and more remote users and I’ve been having to rely on more and more remote tools and automation. Just curious if anyone has used ConnectWise and had any problems and/or did you use Automox to roll it out?

Bulk Ignore Software / Patches

Would it be possible to bulk ignore patches? Microsoft released a couple of seriously broken patches, and at the moment I have to manually ignore them as per: It would be useful to have a tick box like we have under a device here; to bulk ignore patchesCheers.

Worklet - Crowdstrike Containment, Disable Cache Logon, Clear Kerberose, Logon Banners

This worklet Accomplishes a few tasksONE > Network contain device using CrowdStrike API TWO > Disable Cached Credential Logon and logoff current user THREE> Clear all Kerberos tickets FOUR > Set Logon Banners The biggest challenge with this Worklet is that once the host is network contained, there will be NO response for Automox to receive in the Activity Log because the system will at this point ONLY communicate with CrowdStrike. Highly recommend validating in CrowdStrike post this worklet. STEP ONE > Network contain device using CrowdStrike API1. Log into https://falcon.crowdstrike.com/support/api-clients-and-keys and generate a Client ID and Token scoped with both read and write for Hosts2. Use steps from the following article linked below to create three files with these names:id.key - is the Client ID created when following step 1 pass.key - is the Secret created when following step 1 which only is visible when creating the API token. This can be re-generated in Cro

Automox Q&A

Make one common change to 100+ policies - best method?

I have a couple hundred policies in Automox for patching. If I want to make a change to all of them, there are multiple ways to do it via API. I’m wondering what the most efficient method for doing it is. For example, if I just want to change the patch severity on all of them from, say “high” to “low” - what’s the recommended method for doing that on 100+ policies?
