Now that there’s a blog, it’s time for the first real post!
I started with a topic I regularly need myself:
capturing network traffic on Windows — fast, and install-free.
No Wireshark deep dive, just Windows built-in stuff

#NetworkCapture
This is my personal place to preserve and share what I learn — from real-world problems and my experience.
I don’t claim absolute truth; it’s simply my two cents.
Feedback, discussion, and different perspectives are always welcome.👋
Over the years, I’ve learned that some of the most valuable IT knowledge gets lost too quickly.
To make a statement against this, I decided to launch my own blog.

Hopefully, it helps other IT professionals along the way.

#DevDirManager is a small side project of mine
and actually my first “real-world” project where I tried to use AI end-to-end in a meaningful way.

😊 Cool moment today:
I noticed that Andy Svintsitsky discovered my DevDirManager #PowerShell module and rated it by his stats.psfundamentals.com/search?query...
Always a great motivation to feel hashtag#community recognition.
That way you may quickly check if there is urgent work to do.
#PowerShell #Security #CVE #Automation
If you want to quickly identify affected scripts in your codebase, run:
Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -Recurse -Include "*.ps1","*.psm1" |
Select-String "Invoke-WebRequest|iwr|curl" |
Select-Object Path, LineNumber, Line | Format-Table -AutoSize -Wrap
Did you hear about #KB5074596 ? #Microsoft has released a new security update for #PowerShell 5.1 addressing a behavior change in Invoke-WebRequest to mitigate CVE-2025-54100.
Scripts using web requests may now pause due to a new security prompt. This may break your automation!
So the project is doing #MultiLanguageLocalization and a quite verbose documentation within the about-file and the #PowerShell functions itself.
I'd love to hear any kind of feedback...
The impressing part to me was the possibility to make neat and elaborative things, that I always refused to do because of their time consuming manner. I am talking about those "yeah, I do that maybe later" things some of you may know.
In some short ways the intention of the module is to have an easy possibility to port a local "dev"-folder with a couple of git repos in it easily from on machine to another. Or to keep the number of git repos in it in sync between various machines.
Inspired by the talks from various community heros like @robsewell.com, @funbucket.dev and finally
@thorsten.butz.io with his #OTP project, I decided to get a bit deeper into this.
The project maybe has some kind of niche-usage, but I can utilize it for real world challenges.
The project it self can be found here: github.com/AndiBellsted...
Maybe "DevDirManager" is not that much of a self-explaining and marketing-effective name... but that was one of the parts not choose by Copilot. 🙃
Officially, I am into vibe coding now. 🙈
Against all scepticism, I decided to stress my GitHub Copilot a bit and I have to admit, the results are somewhere between "interesting" & impressive...
The outcome is a little #PowerShell module project.
I've call is "DevDirManager".
When the POC for an exploit exploited itself
Heads up for patching!
And be careful with Github... Do not automatically trust everything just because it is public on Github.

Time to patch all those servers, that doesn't exists anymore, because everything is in the cloud 😉🤪

New NTLM vulnerability in all versions of Windows.

There is a lot of truth in this one
Community rocks!
Happy to be at #PowerShellSaturday in Karlsruhe.

Against any previous guesses...
A new #ActiveDirectory schema version is coming:
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...
Mainly security and performance changes but in fact,
there are changes in AD for the future.
Even John is looking interested to the topic 😉
Released version 1.2.4.0 of my little #PowerShell module #PackageUpdateInfo to the PSGallery. There was a issue on version matching.
So, if you are using the module, it'll show you an available update soon
Community rocks! I've just received a pull request with some code optimization for my #MSGraph #PowerShell module from @hcritter.bsky.social after my presentation on #PSSat in Hannover.
Thank you for taken that time 👍🏻
Thank you @thorstenbutz.bsky.social for taking some picture on my presentation at #PSSaturday
I'd actually figured it out to turn my screen profile to light mode on #vscode 😉
Thanks @PSUGH for having me. It was a lot of fun.

Back at home from #pssaturday ... If anybody is interested, the content from my presentation "Deep dive into a comfortable implementation of MSGraph" is available on my Github
