Microsoft Patch Tuesday! Are your servers patched?
It’s my most favorite time of the month – Patch Tuesday! Ok, I might be slightly exaggerating there. Let’s face it. It’s a pain in the neck. I have to go around to every server in my development environment and ensure that all the critical patches have been taken care of. Usually, this means a trip to Windows Update, or checking the logs of the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server. Today, I woke up and decided Splunk was going to assist with this.

Learn More about PowerShell and Modular Inputs
For over five years, I have been working with co-host Jonathan Walz on the PowerScripting Podcast, a weekly Internet radio show. The primary topic of the show is the Windows PowerShell scripting language. We like to talk about news, tips, and resources related to the PowerShell community, but the biggest part of most shows is the interview. We’ve had a wide variety of guests on the show, ranging from prolific scripters who enjoy sharing their work, to PM’s, architects, and engineers from largest software and hardware vendors in the world, including Microsoft, IBM, Intel, NetApp, and more.

Are all my Microsoft Servers being Splunked?
I recently got asked a question – how can I tell if all my Microsoft servers are being Splunked? Interesting question and one that takes a little bit of effort. But we have all the bits, so let’s take a look at what it would take to answer that question. First off, let’s assume that by “Is a Server being Splunked?”, we mean that the server in question has a universal forwarder on it, is hooked into a deployment server, and is sending events to an indexer. All these bits need to have the events land within the same environment.

Using Splunk for Computer Forensics
I was talking to one of our Sales Engineers, Bert Hayes, the other day about using Splunk for computer forensics. Bert formerly was a Splunk customer at a large university in the southern U.S. where he used Splunk for security….he really knows his stuff in this area. Anyhow, Bert mentioned to me how he used to use Splunk for computer forensics and pointed me to a great blog that he found helpful on the topic. I found the blog post to be a great read and wanted to share it.

Splunk with PowerShell? Yes, Please
Do you manage Windows servers? If the answer is yes, then the likelihood is that you utilize PowerShell in your daily operations. As many know, PowerShell is an extraordinarily powerful shell command language that Microsoft invented to manage their most complex server applications. Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, SQL Server and Active Directory can all be managed through PowerShell; and that’s just the start. The Splunk App for Exchange and the Splunk App for Active Directory both use this facility to get inventory and usage information from the depths of the systems

Seeing the Future of Cybersecurity in Action
On March 14th I presented an overview of Splunk to contestant finalists at the CyberPatriot V National Finals Competition at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland to approximately 125 – 130 students. Created by the Air Force Association (AFA), the Cyber Patriot competition was created as a response to the critical need for cyber professionals in the workforce by enhancing high school students’ knowledge of careers in cyber security, technology, engineering, and math disciplines. Splunk was a Diamond level sponsor of the event. This meant that for the first time in the history of the competition a proprietary piece of software allowed as part of the competition and was loaded onto the laptops provided to the finalists. Participants in this year’s competition were from national Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs as well as Junior Reserve Officer Training (JROTC) programs
