spending my saturday building a password reset portal

bullshit programming

Nobody

using a powershell web framework
https://github.com/Badgerati/Pode

pretty cool thing
i hate that this is my life though

Pode is a Cross-Platform PowerShell web framework for creating REST APIs, Web Sites, and TCP/SMTP servers

I can’t imagine I would ever need to write an SMTP server in PowerShell but it’s nice to know that I could.

Trying too hard

i remember talking w/ you about this
it’s nuts but i respect it. i used to make telnet servers with mIRC script so i can appreciate the weirdness

yeah it’s definitely a weird thing lol. i would never use it for anything public facing but for internal tools i think it’s pretty useful, since i can use it to leverage infrastructure that powershell is built for super easily (like active directory in this case)

we have 2 different domains so i first had to populate the SMTP addresses from one into the other so that i could authenticate people but other than that the trickiest part is standing up the actual front end (which was pretty straightforward)

idk how i became a powershell nerd but it has somehow become the thing i write most of all

that guy also built Moncle which has been a pretty useful tool for testing, lately: https://github.com/Badgerati/Monocle

the use case for all of this stuff is pretty narrow, but for our purposes it’s great bc we are like 100% in the microsoft ecosystem for some stupid ass reason (apps built in .NET core, living on IIS and Azure) so i can pretty much do everything i need to do with powershell, except for some of my monitoring scripts that i had to write in node.js, but was still able to make the API call to deploy everything in powershell >:)
