Microsoft made public a lot of their proprietary protocol and file format specifications. About time! :clap:

And how long will it take for some-one to come up with a way to missuse them...... :(

I bet there will be a new compromise to Active Directory/ MSCHAP v2/ etc. very shortly.
The problem is inherently MSoft's inability or unwillingness to correct blatant security
flaws in their application & protocol design.

Better check your Microsoft firewalls ladies and gents......oooops......wait....erm.... yes, that's right
it does'nt block anything anyway - especially not Microsoft proprietary protocols! :toothy
