Machine Learning. Wenige Begriffe haben so viel Hype-Potential. Gleichzeitig verstehen wir so wenig von den zugrunde liegenden Forschungsergebnissen.

Ich spreche mit dem Data Scientist Dr. Uwe Stoll über die Technologie hinter den Buzzwords; wir ergründen Schlüsselelemente seines Wissenschaftsbereichs. Wir sprechen über das semantische Web, über günstige Compute-Ressourcen in Form von Grafikkarten und Cloudspeicher, über die Herausforderung GO und das Flottenmanagement der Zukunft.

Das Interview wurde am 23. August 2018 in München aufgezeichnet.

One quote to rule them all: “The renaissance of the command line”

Jeffrey Snover is not only the “father” of PowerShell, he became the iconic advocat of Microsoft’s data center focussed transformation. He is the poster child of many Microsoft focussed IT pros and enthusiasts, celebrating the improvements in command line administration as an accelerator of their own businnesses and carreers. In brief, I’d personally name him “Redmonds Godfather of Automation”.

We talk about his almost 20 years journey to establish the fundamentals of a modern datacenter and automation toolchain from his early days in Redmond, the lessons learned from wmic.exe and his vision of an OS agnostic automation framework around PowerShell (Core).

This interview was recorded during the PowerShell Conference Europe 2018 in Hannover on April 19, 2018.

Das Active Directory ist die Basistechnologie in Microsoft-Netzwerken schlechthin. Eingeführt mit Windows 2000 erfuhr es über die Jahre vergleichsweise wenige Änderungen, weißt aber bis auf den heutigen Tag zahlreiche Merkwürdigkeiten auf, die vielen Anwendern/AdministratorInnen unbekannt sind.

Ich spreche mit Nils Kaczenski, der als Autor/Trainer/Consultant die Technologie von Beginn an begleitet, über weitsichtige Designkonzepte und Irrwege, über Vergangenes und Zukünftiges.

Dieses Interview wurde am 9. September 2017 in Lingen aufgezeichnet.

Every day more than 300.000 vulnerabilites are found in our modern operating systems. From iOS/MacOS, Android/Linux to Windows – reactive security approaches will obviously not save us from future attacks. I invited Sami Laiho in another ENGLISH episode of the Sliding Windows to explain how to turn the tables on this issue.

We focus on Window 10, starting from the choice of the proper edition, the importance of Bitlocker, Applocker (and Software Restriction Policies), Group Policies and the prerequisite of using limited user accounts, ending at project Barcelona (aka “Windows Defender Application Guard”) and the future architecture of enterprise grade OS.

This interview was recorded during the MCT Summit 2017 in Thessaloniki on June 11, 2017.

It’s nothing less than a complete change of mind: Microsoft publishes OSS (Open Source Software) on Github, delivers PowerShell to Linux, MacOS and Windows, creates platform agnostic tools – simply re-inventing itself.

I invited Joey Aiello and Bartek Bielawski to talk about this transformative change in another ENGLISH episode of the “Sliding Windows”. Joey (on the left hand side) is a program manager on Microsoft’s PowerShell team and OSS (Open Source Software) enthusiast. Bartek Bielawski, well known scripting guru, book author and systems engineer for Optiver already covered InterOp topics when it was neither mainstream nor fun.

We talk about the demand for technologies such as PowerShell, standards based remoting technologies, a tool chain spanning different OS and the love for OSS in general. Wrapping up, we focus on an OS agnostic IT, driven by APIs and layers of software beyond our traditional perception of computers and operating systems.

This interview was recorded during the PowerShell Conference EU on May 5, 2017 in Hannover.

In der sechsten Episode der Sliding Windows war ich zu Gast im Sendezentrum des 33. Chaos Communications Congress, 33C3, in Hamburg. Von dieser Stelle noch mal ein herzliches Dankeschön an das Team des Sendezentrums. Zu Gast in der “Live”-gestreamten Sendung waren Daniel Fett und Guido Schmitz, die beim 33C3 einen Vortrag namens “On the Security and Privacy of Modern Single Sign-On in the Web” gehalten haben, der als Ausgangspunkt für das knapp 50-minütige Gespräch diente.

Daniel und Guido arbeiten als Sicherheitsforscher an der Uni Trier (zukünftig an der Uni Stuttgart) und forschen zu den Bereichen Sicherheit und Datenschutz im Web. Wir sprechen über Single-Sign-On-Verfahren, der Evolution von LAN zu WAN-Technologien und den verwirrenden Unterschieden im Kontext von Authentifizierung, Authorisierung und Privatheit in oAuth 1.0 und 2.0, OpenID, OpenID Connect, BrowserID (aka Mozilla Persona) und dem aus Ihrer Forschung hervorgegangenen Spresso.

Das Gespräch wurde am am 29. Dezember 2016 in Hamburg aufgezeichnet.
