Gale, part of Cengage, probably makes the best reference books that cover various industries in a single volume. This is the fastest way to learn and certainly the most agile. Wish I had a better link, but you should be able to find some vi

I worked for a large network company at one time as a contractor. I was pretty horrified at some parts of their security. That being said they had a great attitude towards security I haven’t encountered since, so maybe they’ve improved. B

First they are lied to and promised actual jobs even though the field is incredibly unfairly hard to get into. Then they are told to take the hardest possible cert that is often the least requested by HR, the OSCP.

The real hacking threat is all those unlicensed copies of Microsoft Windows that never get updated + the fact of just how insecure Windows was until recently / somewhat remains + the 2x turnover lifetime of pc’s there vs here.

Does anyone remember The New Yorker article from June 2018 about the magazine “Teen Boss” that described similar stories regularly, except that it was marketed to pre-teens and teens? The cover of one of their issues is really something to

Maximum amount of digits I’ve ever seen for a cellular VM system is 11 (among the big public companies). I believe Sprint can handle up to 7, and Verizon allows up to 10. Of course these are digits with no more than 10 combinations for each

This is a known attack for quite sometime. The Apache Web Server, which I love/hate, has for years never really been 100% secure because of issues with how the Linux kernel handles FollowSymLinks and SymLinksIfOwnersMatch. You can purc

The issue with that at the time was that Microsoft was using temps to avoid paying payroll taxes. Ironically the IRS wised up to this tactic because of just how good Microsoft was treating their temps, i.e. the same as regular employees.

This was an interesting article and the author has strong data. I would want to know about the Younger Dryas [1] period though. This is a warming period about 12,000 years ago when some of the most devastating geological events we know of h

This seems very true. Also I think the standard was just too ahead of the tools available at the time. Within the last 18 months it seems CI/CD has taken off, and obviously that is just anecdotal evidence from my life bubble that doesn

Good write up that I think extends to many environments beyond congressional campaigns. One thing I would like to add (and perhaps the author mentioned but I did not see). Secure your cellular accounts such as Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon with

I am somewhat in tears now seeing this. I spent weeks at work trying to backwards analyze GCP IAP, which apparently uses this in the background (invoked via the gcloud CLI). Almost like a lost art, it was impossible to find serious tutorial

IRS could help out Open Source projects and make it way easier for them to apply for grant money. But they make it very tough to get 5013c status. I’m for quite strict tax enforcement but that should be changed. Also of course private compa

This is an excellent article with a lot of original research instead of the typical security guides that I see that are pretty much copy paste jobs (look up anything about Apache HTTPD for a very good example of that). A couple of things ab

GCP is the only service that I know of that supports this. That being said, AWS does allow you to put your name servers somewhere else, say GCP, and then do DNSSEC there. Really the main security concern with AWS is no browser in the termin

Do companies actually fix the bug/vuln you identify? If so, I’m amazed that they even do that, and I would accept that as a “good enough” win. Regarding disclosure, although this sounds like a lame position, I would wait for the courts
