16[2012-11-08 22:09:16] <1mwjcomputing> i think applocker will help the second (fall back) but not the powershell attack





16[2012-11-08 22:09:26] <1mwjcomputing> but i might try that tonight





16[2012-11-08 22:09:58] <1mwjcomputing> pivoting FTW





16[2012-11-08 22:10:19] <4kobeckman> well, it sounds like if you don't have Java, the initial attack fails and then falls back to an executable if I understand correctly





16[2012-11-08 22:10:34] <4ReL1K> yea applocker would stop second attack not first
