AADInternals published!

AADInternals published!

For the last couple months I’ve used most of my free time on studying and hacking Azure AD admin APIs. As a result, I’m finally publishing the first (beta) version of the AADInternals PowerShell module.

So what is the AADInternals? For short, it is a PowerShell module, where I’ve put all my knowledge about hacking and managing Azure AD. I’ve studied a lot how Microsoft’s admin tools are communicating with Azure AD and found some quite interesting stuff..

To start, install the module from PowerShell:

Install-Module AADInternals

And now you’re ready to use the module! For instance, you can now easily check where your Office 365 services are really located:

# Get the access token and save it to cache

Get-AADIntAccessTokenForAADGraph -Credentials (Get-Credential)
# Get service location information of the tenant

Get-AADIntServiceLocations | Format-Table

As the example above shows services for this tenant are provided from UK, US, Ireland, and the Netherlands. The IR country code actually means Iran, but I suppose guys at Microsoft just had a typo (IE=Ireland) :joy:. Anyways, especially those who are worried about GDPR compliancy, can see what services are located in EU/ETA countries and which are not. To see all the functions visit AADInternals page.

I’ll post new blogs on how to use the module in due course - so keep visiting my blog!

For the next month or so, I’ll be finalising my sessions for Techmentor Orlando. For those attending the Live!360 / Techmentor, here is a promise: If there are more than 500 dowloads of AADInternals by Nov 25th, I’ll be wearing my doctoral robe :point_down: during my The Weakest Link of Office 365 Security -session on Dec 6th. So spread the word and see you in Orlando!
