Some of my best jokes just go to waste.
Also - these ones.
#Beyonce #Infosec101

Is this a parody?
I don’t do #InfoSec or other cons so I don’t have a strong sense of whether the “Open Space” concept is brilliant or uproariously absurd. I lean towards the latter because it just seems to me like a recipe for people standing around.

#Infosec2025: Good Cybersecurity Enabled Ukraine’s Surprise Attack on Russia, Says NCSC
Effective cybersecurity played a key role Ukraine drone attack on Russian strategic bombers, a leading government security expert has claimed

One #infosec example of the very many NSF funding awards being revoked:
"Hudson County Community College (HCCC) was awarded a $599,811 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for its program, “Nurturing Resilience: Empowering the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Professionals with a Focus on Women.” The program goals are to recruit and retain more women in the HCCC Cybersecurity Prog…

Hudson County Community College Receives $600,000 National Science Foundation Grant to Expand Its Nationally Acclaimed Cybersecurity Program
The explosive demand for Cybersecurity is outpacing the supply of computer science professionals who assess threats and prevent attacks. Educational institutions, healthcare organizations, government, businesses, and individuals are increasingly vulnerable to evolving hazards including phishing, spoofing, malware, ransomware, and viruses.

Not so much, really.
This is yet another case of an academic setting up a very special circumstance that doesn’t match the real world to create a “vulnerability” that is never going to be used in the real world.
Ever been in a proper data center? Was it quiet?

#InfoSec

I have a trick for getting into a box that’s being clobbered by a crawler DDoS: set the ITerm2 profile to auto-restart and open a half-dozen duplicate sessions. Basically: put a bunch of my SYNs in the queues to compete with the bots.
Ugly as sin, but it ultimately works.
Also: fuck those guys. And fuck their ISPs for being so comatose that they don't notice.

Just like one prevents losing money by having none.
But seriously, “just use Linux” is the territorial call of the not-so-bright teenage geek. It screams of solipsism and inexperience. I say this as someone who has never chosen Windows for anything.
The idea that the solution to #infosec is for organizations to dump Windows and run Linux instead is a childish fantasy.

Nonmention:
If you are victim to a ransomware attack and your data gets leaked on the darknet, you shouldn't write a press release that this happened "despite your high security standards", when everyone can see your standards in your password file PW.docx.

I just noticed the existence of mod_md for httpd. That's cool. I wonder if I can make it work.
I hate Certbot and am getting to hate acme.sh
