There's a meme driver with safety vs business critical and software types seem to think they're special (a different meme) but I'm starting to understand it's everywhere, which is why nobody notices the software issue cr

It was also used for Farsight's tunnelled SIE called NMSG. I wrote a pure python protobuf dissector implementation for use with Scapy ( https://scapy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html ) for dissecting

I think what they're saying there is "I was just taking pictures... noooo, you will break my camera!!! you evil brute!" when you say GTFO is no defense. Not saying there aren't weird laws. Check the notions of boxed squa

If anyone wants to argue or discuss hypotheticals, how about this: "Patient X's head was caught in a drop forge, and now they need to get four CAT scans a day." How does HIPAA apply to this statement, how would you anonymize

I'm not sure what your comment is: it's a bit unfair; it's easy to make a mistake; it's bozo-signaling; [you] wouldn't expect right [correct?] capitalization; [something other than capitalization] seem[s] like you&#

Working at the edge of cybersecurity and privacy, you've just stepped in it: there is no "Health Insurance Portability and Privacy Act". It's the "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act" (HIPAA). (

Imagine someone asks you: "If I flip a fair coin 99 times and it comes up heads each time, what are the odds it comes up tails on the 100th toss?" Do you say 50%, or do you dismiss their prior? At what point do you dismiss their p

Agree with the article enough that I did something about it which I call "Poor Fred's SIEM". The heart of it is a DNS proxy for Redis ( https://github.com/m3047/rkvdns ). However it's not targeted at

I am deeply touched by the expression of a need for actual "home". I hope everyone can figure out what home is and find it. It is in some way related to self. As a young child I moved from an extremely urban environment, to a rela

I think this still happens today, except that people are so denatured that they can't even articulate: "I want to go home" because they don't know where home is or what it is, and it would seem ridiculous even to them to

No. I've run 'bot motels myself. I've got better things to do than curating a block list when they can just switch or renumber their infrastructure. Most notably I ran a 'bot motel on a compute-intensive web app; it was

Dunno about cows (I have chickens), but the only place I've seen mature chickens for sale as meat is at the low prices, "ten pounds or more" meat specials, catering to ethnic populations local grocery chain and they cost more

False dichotomy between smart phones and "dumb" phones is what leads the article. I'd start with recasting the comparison as small, portable, radio-enabled, opaque computers which can be used poorly as phones (most people don

Have seen this firsthand in (literal) field demos. Radios don't work. Field equipment is noisy, sound and electromagnetically. Just things. The "cloud" isn't effectively down the street. The nearest fiber is over a mile

It makes a lot more sense when you understand two things: 1) Untrained software engineers' unconscious inclination is to estimate the amount of time after which it's probably time to reassess, rather than complete. 2) The distribu

Tacoma has some underground, too. Worked in a building where they had us in a shitty office on the bottom floor, in back, butted up against the hillside. We figured out there was some kind of storage back there, and because the place smelle

Nothing is impossible in tech. (Rhetorical hyperbole!) But seriously let me give you an analogous example, with its pros and cons. DNS now has something widely deployed called "query name minimization". For no particular reason ot
