Win-Fu Training Newsletter #38
Hello dear apprentices!
I have to start by apologizing the long break in writing or creating any content really. I'm a blunt honest Finnish guy so I will give you the full uncensored story. This is for sure the most difficult year in my life so far. I first lost my grandfather, then became single again after being married for 7 years, and finally in May lost my father - the one who I am thankful for basically all knowledge I later got to share with you. It took and will take some time to get my life back together but I thank you all for hanging there with me although I haven't lately been able to fulfill all my SLA's. This job and all my followers are the reason why I want to continue and get even better at what I'm doing! Cheers for that to all of you!
I just finished an awesome course with Jeff Hicks on my Dojo about Securing PowerShell usage so those of you who have access already go and enjoy - Those that don't, just go and subscribe to win-fu.com/dojo/, it's the cheapest way to get the best available training out there. I've just started producing the last three courses on Sysinternals for PluralSight as well so before the end of the year (or end of January 2019) the whole series should be done.
In a few weeks I will join many of you at Ignite! I have one session to share all my Life Hacks on the Windows OS, and one session to show I build sessions. I'm super-proud to get the chance to do the latter one as many speakers aren't allowed to do Soft Skills. All sessions are live broadcasted as well so be sure not to miss them. The last one also has a lot of technical tips and some demos that have never been tried on earth before, not even near ;) So don't miss either! Honestly the second one is gonna be so freaking fun I just can't wait to get on stage :) :) :) There might be free giveaways as well on the sessions ;)
On December 2-7 I will host (as a conference chair) the TechMentor conference in Orlando! It is part of a bigger Live360! conference so you get a ticket to not 1 but 5 conferences at the price of one!! This is the Best conference ever! Now with the Best speakers from all over the world (like Johan and Mikael from Sweden for the first time).
Also just added a few of my classes in Finland/ONLINE. They are in English and sure to run! More info at: https://win-fu.com/ilt/
Tips&Tricks etc:
-
Don't know if you've seen it but Microsoft just added a protection to Defender that blocks one of the most used troubleshooting tricks. Since some weeks a go Microsoft blocked using the "Image File Execution Options" key to hack the logon screen to show a Command Prompt with full SYSTEM access. This creates a "ACCESSIBILITY VIOLATION" so that got me thinking that not all Logon Screen processes are for "ACCESSIBILITY".... So don't tell anyone so they won't block this...SSSHHH!! I really mean it. BUT YOU CAN use DisplaySwitch.exe in place of sethc.exe, and then on the Logon Screen just hit WINDOWS+P, and you get ROOT access again ;) (I'll post a video to my Dojo soon as well!)
Training Classes Live!
I've added some classes for my trainings in Finland. Some SOON in 2018 and some in 2019. Sauna certification can be achieved while at it! These courses always run, are reasonably priced and are offered both ONSITE and ONLINE. This includes the new Securing Windows 10 and Server 2019 class as well.

I've also been asked SOOOO many times to teach end users some Security stuff with my known entertaining style, So if you need to teach your end users how to be more secure (in Finnish or in English) just send me an email and we can discuss it further. I've taught the best security guys in the world but also nurses and librarians for many years :)
Wax On, Wax Off – Happy troubleshooting!
