Using the ChangeNTLM and SetNTLM commands in Mimikatz, attackers can manipulate user passwords and escalate their privileges in Active Directory. Let’s take a look at these commands and what they do.

Even the most precise and regimented DevOps teams can be plagued by numerous post-deployment security issues, causing potentially damaging production delays and engineering rework. Building on Snyk’s successful acceleration of DevSecOps, Snyk IaC empowers developers to treat Terraform like any other form of code and proactively test IaC early as well as continuously monitor infrastructure post-deployment.

Starting October 12th, 2022 we’ll be rolling out some exciting new user interface changes for the Snyk application, at app.snyk.io. These changes make use of the Snyk design system by incorporating standardized UI components, an updated color palette, and other elements to help you get even more from Snyk. In this blog post, we’ll walk through the most important changes.
