Cisco - How to backup Cisco switches using TFTP

There are several ways on how backup Cisco switches (or other vendors name) can be done.

One of them is downloading TFTP client server

https://tftp.en.uptodown.com/windows

Launching it and deciding where saving configuration files.

Be aware taking note about client IP.

Later you need to connect to switches using any SSH clients (I warmly suggest using these clients:

  1. Solar-PuTTY Connect to any server or device in your network with Solar-PuTTY for Windows. This is an interesting Putty or PuttyCM alternative.

https://www.alessandromazzanti.com/2018/11/freeware-solarwinds-software-free-tools.html

and execute below commands on switches:

Router#copy running-config tftp: 

Address or name of remote host []? 64.104.207.171

Destination filename [ce_2-confg]? backup_cfg_for_my_router

!!

1030 bytes copied in 2.489 secs (395 bytes/sec)

CE_2#

Where:

  • 64.104.207.171 must be substituted by your client ip address where tftp is under execution.

  • backup_cfg_for_my_router is backup file name that will be created on client where tftp is under execution.
You can configure automatic backups, you simple need to read all article below indicated.

Veeam 11 - CDP (RPO= 0) and immutable storage backup against ransomware

 Veeam 11 released new features, here they are two that, imo, are very interesting:


  1. Continuous Data Protection (CDP) with RPO equal to zero:

    https://community.veeam.com/blogs-and-podcasts-57/veeam-v11-continuous-data-protection-cdp-configuration-265

    Using vSphere APIs for IO Filtering (VAIO)

  2. Immutable primary backup storage with a hardware-agnostic touch: enables you to store your short-term retention backups locally onsite for fast recovery with the protection of immutability. In addition, you can now tier those backups into an immutable object storage offering offsite, giving you additional protection against unforeseen malicious activity or accidental deletion. (protecting you against ransomware and malicious acts)

    The new hardened repositories are compliant with the SEC 17a-4(f), FINRA 4511(c), and CFTC 1.31(c)-(d) regulations. They can effectively prevent ransomware encryption or accidental/malicious deletions. The great thing about the new feature is it is based on "bring your own" Linux, so there is no vendor hardware lock-in.

    The new hardened Linux-based repositories with immutable backups will take ransomware protection to the next level for on-premises backup storage. Businesses can ensure business-critical backups are protected for the time specified for the immutable backup repository.

DNS - Security

Some services can also block access to phishing or infected sites, and a few offer content filtering to keep your kids away from the worst of the web.

OpenDNS


Primary, secondary DNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

With filtering or pre-configured protection, you can safeguard your family against adult content and more. It’s the easiest way to add parental and content filtering controls to every device in your home.

Cloudflare


Primary, secondary DNS servers: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

Privacy is another major highlight. Cloudflare doesn't just promise that it won't use your browsing data to serve ads; it commits that it will never write the querying IP address (yours) to disk. Any logs that do exist will be deleted within 24 hours. And these claims aren't just reassuring words on a website. Cloudflare has retained KPMG to audit its practices annually and produce a public report to confirm the company is delivering on its promises

Google Public DNS
Primary, secondary DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Microsoft 365 - Apps activation on shared computer

About environments accessed by multiple users you can keep in mind below Microsoft article.

Be aware that shared computer activation is required for scenarios where multiple users share the same computer and the users are logging in with their own account. 

Infact, normally, users can install and activate Microsoft 365 Apps only on a limited number of devices, such as 5 PCs.

To enable Shared computer activation you should have Office 365 E3, E5 or business premium.

If you want to enable shared computer activation during the initial installation of Microsoft 365 Apps, you can instruct the Office Deployment Tool to do so during installation.

In case you already installed Miscrosoft 365 Apps there are 3 method to change activation ways (GPO, Register modify or download Microsoft Support and Recovery assistant)

more details can be found here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/overview-shared-computer-activation

In case you want to verify type of Microsoft 365 Apps activation are in plase you can review below article:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/troubleshoot-shared-computer-activation#Enabled

Licensing token renewal The licensing token that is stored on the shared computer is valid only for 30 days. As the expiration date for the licensing token nears, Microsoft 365 Apps automatically attempts to renew the licensing token when the user is logged on to the computer and using Microsoft 365 Apps.

Activation limits Normally, users can install and activate Microsoft 365 Apps only on a limited number of devices, such as 5 PCs. Using Microsoft 365 Apps with shared computer activation enabled doesn't count against that limit.

Licensing token roaming Starting with Version 1704 of Microsoft 365 Apps, you can configure the licensing token to roam with the user's profile or be located on a shared folder on the network. Previously, the licensing token was always saved to a specific folder on the local computer and was associated with that specific computer. In those cases, if the user signed in to a different computer, the user would be prompted to activate Microsoft 365 Apps on that computer in order to get a new licensing token. The ability to roam the licensing token is especially helpful for non-persistent VDI scenarios.




Security - Exchange Zero Date Vulnerability #CVE-2021-26855

These vulnerabilities permits to access, without any authentication, to all Exchange mailboxes contents.

This is possible on all Exchange servers that are published, on internet, through OWA (attacker need onlty to know user account name)

Afterward attackers created several backdoors, through aspx webshell, creating AD credentials dump. (having horizontal attacks possibility)

There are two scenarios:

  1. Standalone: require single user (SID) (more difficult)
  2. Cluster (DAG) only end user email name is required.

Attack is possibile only if you know server FQDN (but this is easy to be knwon sending an http post call to Exchange Web Services)

Server - Active Directory Time syncronization problems

During these years I faced, on server and clients, several authentication problems due to wrong time and date.

Here they are some commands and tips useful for this troubleshottoing purpose:

1. Command useful on DC to see any time differences in place and relative (offset)

w32tm /monitor 

2. Run the following command on the PDC emulator:  

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:timeserver /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

Once done, restart W32Time service.

net stop w32time | net start w32time 

3. Run the following command on all other DCs (that are not PDC):  

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

Once done, restart W32Time service:

net stop w32time | net start w32time 

I have often, in recent years, to solve problems of e-mail or authentication domain generated from misconfigurations time servers. 

4. To check the source time server: 

w32tm /query /status

5. 
You can check registry entries if the domain controller is using NTP (should be on PDC) or NT5DS (on non-PDC):
Find the value of Type under 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters

reg query 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters

6. re-sync the w32time service using the following command:

w32tm /resync /rediscover

<---------->
7. Execute the following command to actually perform a time synchronization with the external source

w32tm.exe /config /update

Cisco - AnyConnect Domain Password change

Using Cisco Any Connect with AD users you may face that you account password is expired and you are unable to connect. To override problem you need to configure Cisco ASA to authenticate, to DC, indeed with normal LDAP standards (over 389 TCP port) using LDAPS (636 TCP port).

Your AD server must be able to authenticate via LDAPS (normally is not configured)

Here it is an article that explain how to do that

https://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0001273

About LDAPS you can give a look to below article to have a major idea:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sql-server/step-by-step-guide-to-setup-ldaps-on-windows-server/ba-p/385362

https://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000962


P.S. 1 for LDAP(s) testing purposes you can use ldp.exe DC utility Open utility:

C:\> ldp.exe

From Connection, select Connect.

Enter name of target domain controller.

Enter 636 as port number (this is the LDAPS port).

Click OK to confirm the connection works.

You're all done!


P.S. 2 consider that Citrix Netscaler requires LDAPs to permit users to change password when it is expired (otherwise user is blocked)
