New: SAML cert eye — SAML X.509 certificate analyzer
I've launched a small web service to extract and examine X.509 certificates embedded in SAML metadata. It displays signing and encryption certificate details and lets you download certificates as Base64 or binary files.

Launching NtraBoost - Microsoft Entra Extension
For the past few weeks, I've been working on an extension designed to simplify and speed up many actions in the Microsoft Entra ID portal.
🔔 Want to be notified when it launches? I've just set up ntraboost.com so you can get an alert as soon as Ntra Boost goes live (no typo here - I preferred not to call it "Entra Boost" since "Entra" is a Microsoft trademark).

📢 New Summer Series: The PowerShell Summer Workbook
📚 Inspired by traditional summer revision workbooks, this series is designed to help you deepen and master the subtleties of the PowerShell scripting language.
👨💻 At a time when anyone can generate a PowerShell script with a single prompt to their favorite AI, I think it's important to revisit certain points that transform a simple 3-hour script into a (relatively) fast and robust script.
🔺 For the past few months, I've seen an explosion of PowerShell projects (which is great). Everyone can be a beginner or not know best practices: that's normal, but it's important to learn and apply them.
🔺 Like all my other summer workbooks, this is not a course starting from scratch on PowerShell. However, even if you're a PowerShell beginner, there will definitely be things that will be useful to you.
🔺 The goal of PowerShell can be seen as automation and standardization of work, we also talk about industrialization.
🔺 Publication twice a week: Monday and Thursday.
🧠 So, ready to level up your PowerShell skills?
