“A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘PassThru'” – likely your powershell version is too old

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/09/07

If you get [WayBack] “A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘PassThru'” as PowerShell error, then likely the PowerShell version is too old to support -PassThru, which likely means you have are running pre-Windows 10 version.

PowerShell 3 (introduced in 2012) added the -PassThru parameter that allowed to chain multiple commands from one list pipe.

Another reason for the error might be that the command you use does not support the -PassThru parameter.

To check which commandlets support -PassThru, use the below command (the output is from a Windows 8.1 machine running PowerShell 4.0).

After bumping into yet another occasion where a tool did not properly save after saving: [WayBack] checkdigits on Twitter : “CTRL+S is the new carriage return. Type line of code, CTRL+S to save, start new line of code. #NotParanoid 😬…”

in a response to [WayBack] Dare Obasanjo on Twitter: “No one I know who works on software for a living trusts it to do anything important. That people assume software can be trusted for important things like voting or driving cars when I can’t even trust my follower count is correct is the biggest trick we’ve played as an industry.… “

Tricks used by software developers to https://127.0.0.1

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/09/07

Long interesting thread at [WayBack] Thread by @sleevi_: “@SwiftOnSecurity So, some history: It used to be folks would get certs for “localhost”, just like they would from “webmail”, despite no CA e […]”

In 2019, applications were still using tricks (including shipping private keys!) to “securely” access https://127.0.0.1 on some port.

This should have stopped in 2015, but hadn’t. I wonder how bad it still is today.

[WayBack] SwiftOnSecurity on Twitter: “Me: Threat-hunting rare DNS lookups in a corporate network. Confluence: … “

[WayBack] Tavis Ormandy on Twitter: “This turned out to be a real vulnerability! 😮 The certificate was issued by @digicert, who are now required to revoke it. It was issued before mandatory CT, so didn’t show up in …. See … for context.…”
[WayBack] Ryan Sleevi on Twitter: “So, some history: It used to be folks would get certs for “localhost”, just like they would from “webmail”, despite no CA ever having validated the name. They just relied on pinky promises to be good. Luckily, browsers forbid that … “
[WayBack] Ryan Sleevi on Twitter: “Look at the dates on those. Yes, it’s a things CAs used to do, and they had to be dragged kicking and screaming into not doing it (and even then, *many* ignored/“oopsied” the requirement to revoke). I regret to inform you it didn’t stop until 2015/2016 – … “
