The issue is not the tools. The issue is the users.

The tool can be used to do what you want, but if you are lazy and dont pay attention to the instructions, rules, or even what you are doing, it’s not the tools fault.

You assume I sleep.

Totally

Love that soundtrack.

Not sure if anybody else caught this, but CISA added CVE-2024-49035 to KEV a week ago - that vuln is about partner.microsoft.com being owned.

Partner.microsoft.com is a portal which allows orgs to grant access to Microsoft 365 tenants, ie read data of downstream customers. #threatintel

I’d try it.

Depends on who’s propaganda you buy into.

We changed to using “wins the lottery” because the death thing is pretty negative.

This would be great except you have to allow people in to pay bills. That is where I draw the line.

Joke them if they can’t take a fuck.

2 year anniversary at work. I should have used a happier picture. You know me happy happy happy.

No, we really aren’t. People hate what these idiots are doing to America.

The infosec community has always had these people. Se7en was one from the 90s. Claimed to take down pedos and ended up being a liar and a bigger issue. They are good at hiding their crap and getting people to believe their lies.

I am trying to start writing more. I relaunched my website for the 20th time. I bought the domain in 1998. Anyway, I wrote a thing about VPNs.

9 Reasons Why (the Right Amount of) Coffee Is Good for You A Johns Hopkins research nutritionist shares the benefits of coffee and a recipe for a healthy pumpkin spice latte smoothie.

Saw a new Dr yesterday. She said "Why are you drinking caffeine when you are on stimulants." as my BP was higher than normal. (new Dr and upped the dosage that day).

I said, because Caffeine is good for you. Some studies showing up to 300mg/day is good for several aspects.

my "proof"

When I ran into this, I had lost my job and the pharmacist helped me get the discounts. It sounded like they only offered that to people without insurance. 90% of my meds were cheaper. Wife had one that was $2k/mon without ins. When we added insurance they automatically applied it.

Insurance companies are evil.

If I use the generic and discounts provided it is often much cheaper without insurance.

I think I used the wrong terminology. This is entry level. First level. Beginning level SOC analyst. I am looking at people finishing school, maybe have some intern work. Or people looking to change roles into infosec, who can use their organizational and communication skillz.

I grew up in TX. TX has its issues. When I was in middle school we had a Texas History class. Maybe it has changed but historically they actually taught that we LOST the Alamo and the saying “remember the Alamo” was like saying “never forget 911”.

So many clips of stupid people.

I didn’t say it was a bad thing.

I don’t want to control chaos, but I need to understand it.

More data, needs more organization.

This year looks like a year of documentation and documentation. Will probably have to find time for some tickets, and of course meetings, but it will be about documentation.

How do you link a government official to an anonymous social media account that asserts, among other things, that "America is a White nation?"

Like this.

Started making my own curries. Made a chicken and rice curry last week. Doing one with potatoes tonight. Starting from scratch, no curry mixes. It makes me happy. Playing with different spices. Comparing to ones I have had in pubs.

I asked ChatGPT to draw a visual representation of how a VPN works. In the end it wrote python code to generate a flowchart in matplotlib.pyplot. We defined the different pieces to be used.

At that point I threw my hands in the air. As long as you don't know what you want, it does great.

I added a new entry on my site about MoMA

"Hey we see you have VPN, but why don't those other users use VPN?"

Same reason IT does not have access to the CMS? It's not part of their role?

Just seemed weird to me.
