I'm doing an AMA on cybersecurity careers and OT DFIR, etc for the next hour on Reddit, www.reddit.com/r/SecurityCare... Share, #cybersecurityCareers

ME, IN TEARS: you can't just say every single part of a computer system is a file UNIX, POINTING AT THE MOUSE: file

Amazing new age verification procedure requires no government ID, no credit card numbers, no photography import { setTimeout } from 'node:timers/promises' const verifyAge = async () => { await setTimeout(568_036_800_000) return true }

You can instantly tell which country every procedural is from based on how they solve the crime: US: Bring in Incredibly Hot Forensics Team UK: Fetch the CCTV India: Break the locked door

. @ciaranm.bsky.social mentioned in this The Times piece about telecom hacks. He's absolutely on the money. A large part of the problem with UK telcos is attackers knowing SNMP strings (and default ones). SNMPv2 from 1995, btw. Then using it to redirect traffic.

Oh so it does have phd level intelligence

Boaz is a colleague and someone I admire immensely. Despite that, as a computer scientist, I think he has terribly missed the mark in this op-ed. Our nation is in dire circumstances now, and we computer scientists bear a share of the blame. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/o...

the day i learned what FTDI is (it was yesterday)

The existence of Tim Curry and Tim Rice leads me to hope that somewhere there is a Tim Naan.

(please re-post for reach - thank you!) Learned a cool new Linux trick? Know an interesting quirk in a network protocol? Or have something else to share? Write a 1-page article for the #6 issue of Paged Out! :) pagedout.institute?page=cfp.php Soft deadline is Feb 1st.

Reskeet if you think Jesse Singal should be banned.

Who is excited to learn Roman numerals together? I, for one

kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform

Whatever happens, try to do the right thing, try to protect people weaker than you, try to stand up to bullies, try to speak truth to power.

Oh hey, in case you need some good news, the population decline of honeybees has actually reversed: fortune.com/2024/04/03/h...

"I don't keep it loaded, son. You're going to need to find salt and pepper as you go."

i don’t know who needs to hear this, but: if you’re still breathing, you still have choices you can make. you might not be able to fix everything, but you can almost definitely choose to make things better for someone else, and if we all use our choices to do that… we might fix things, after all.

October 27, 1962, was arguably the most dangerous day of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a day when human error, rushed preparations, aggressive tactics, and sky-high tensions could have set off World War III intentionally or by accident at least four separate times. Here is what happened (a long thread):

A gift from me to you. A much needed thread of anime data discs... Patlabor 2 (1993)

Honestly people are consistently very very bad at identifying the size of furry animals at a distance, our brains naturally err on the side of LARGE PREDATOR by default, probably because everyone who erred on the side of HARMLESS FLUFFBALL got eaten by leopards a thousand generations ago.

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day. On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

“Available oxygen level: [object Object]”

When I say good vibes only:

I've had an impacted wisdom tooth extracted and I've gone through vulnerability disclosure. I prefer the dentist over this BS.

That's a funny frog.

Building a root of trust that lets you verify that a system booted what you expected it to boot is harder than you might think: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/66907.html
