Enable LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) for Microsoft Active Directory servers

By default Microsoft active directory servers will offer LDAP connections over unencrypted connections (boo!).

The steps below will create a new self signed certificate appropriate for use with and thus enabling LDAPS for an AD server. Of course the "self-signed" portion of this guide can be swapped out with a real vendor purchased certificate if required.

Steps have been tested successfully with Windows Server 2012R2, but should work with Windows Server 2008 without modification. Will require both a system with OpenSSL (ideally Linux/OSX) and (obviously) a Windows Active Directory server.

• Create root certificate
• Import root certificate into trusted store of domain controller
• Create client certificate

Unmuting Twitch VODs

As you know, Twitch has made a weird decision to mute VODs if it finds copyrighted content in videos.

Here's how to enjoy VODs without this annoying mute feature.

• Install Fiddler (tested on 4.4.9.2 on Windows).
• Enable HTTPS decryption. If you are using Firefox, you will need to do this.
• Rules -> Customize Rules...
• Paste the following code in the OnBeforeResponse method:

#!/bin/bash
for f in *.html;
   do
   title=$( awk 'BEGIN{IGNORECASE=1;FS="<title>|</title>";RS=EOF} {print $2}' "$f" )
   mv -i "$f" "${title//[^a-zA-Z0-9\._\- ]}".html
done
