@nprofile…d2rl Normally I would say post it there, but I think with everything else going on, you shouldn't, just to keep another log off the already huge amount of stuff you are dealing with.

@nprofile…r0kn lucky. Can't get a ticket for when they come up here.
Enjoy it

@nprofile…d2rl sometimes the financial situation is tough. Costs on therapy can be awful even with insurance.
I hope people do choose options you posted.

@nprofile…r0kn It better look different because it got better, way better than it is today. Either that or everyone gets whacked with a sledgehammer for not learning lessons from the past.

@nprofile…d2rl Well, so much for the Trans-Continental railroad.

China, inside the telecom systems like Verizon, ATT, TMobile etc... laughing their ass off over the TikTok ban.

@nprofile…d2rl The world of Shadowrun or Cyberpunk is upon us. It is an unfortunate case but one that those of us who have played those games, should recognize all too well.
Brush up on your running skillz chummer.

@nprofile…d2rl ok, I get it now. Totally missed that. I blame my brain for being in a weird place today.
Thanks for indulging my missing the obvious.

@nprofile…d2rl *hug* people get caught up in their inability to admit being wrong to the detriment of society as a whole. That you and others are leaving is a huge blow to many of us and the field as a whole.
If there was more I was able to do I would. I voted, I push on others when I can, but as much as I try to help educate others i to and in our field, I am not you or others. I do what I can and will continue to do so, but I know it is not enough.

One of the better news RSS feeds for the #infosec community I found is from Taggart and his site Taggart Institute. Follow him on social media for even more stuff at:

This looks promising for a place to share verifiable hunts. Has anyone else looked at this?

@npub1vcl…k6t3 Printers cost as much as the ink if you get branded ink. If you go third party ink, you have a crap shoot going on if it works and how well it will work.

@npub1vcl…k6t3 Even then, you can get to a point where you make yourself blind. Sometimes Detections cannot be set up as alerts, and must be run manually on a regular basis.

2024-08-29 16:44:07

Detection writing is not simple. Tuning is even more difficult. You can easily tune a detection to the point where you are blinding yourself to something you shouldn't be.

@npub1vcl…k6t3 Yeah, I thought about that, but figured I would let people decide on their own about going straight to a PDF. Plus the blog does a nice little summary.

Microsoft's has released a nice little "Guide" (Multipage Cheat Sheet) to Windows artifacts that you can/should collect during IR.

@npub178r…qekt Being a Nerd is a badge of honor for many. Being a hypersensitve nerd must mean they are linux zealots also.

Wife: Hey have you been reading the updates from our Pediatric group (Kids Doctor)
Me: Not really, I leave that to you usually.
Wife: The MyChart software is down, they need to do things by e-mail/Fax/Phone for the time being
Me: *looks at app* F$#@
Wife: ?
Me: They are connected to Luries Children Hospital, which is having what I and most of the people I know in my field believe is a Ransomware attack.
Wife: Great...
Me: <string of bad words>
Yeah the scope goes beyond what it might seem like.

Doesn't mean crap if they don't agree with bugs/vulns found. Also doesn't mean crap if they don't come up with proper fixes in a timely fashion.

Just a friendly reminder that the cybersecurity community/family is small compared to the actual number of people in cybersecurity. The majority will not go to conferences, or see your posts. The go about their day just like any other office type worker. This does not make them bad at what they do, it just means that we are different. That difference is something we need to use to help more people that want to be in our field, get into it. Even if it is just a welcome, small talk and pointing in the right directions. Always try to support others, even if you weren't when you broke in. Be that which you needed/wanted.
