See also “Zoot Suit Riots”, which was less a riot than mob violence against ethnic minorities primarily by US servicemen during WWII. Another one they don’t talk about much in school.

Don't let life get you down. Tomorrow is another day. I've been in some really dark places in my life. As I wake up this morning and head to speak at BlackHat EU, I'm reminded of what a crazy ride my life has been. If you're feeling down today, stick in there - it gets better.

Serious question: if you were to take just minute to reflect and think about the people who helped you succeed in life- the ones that helped lift you up, mentored you, or encouraged you when you needed it- who do you think of?

Yes, I went through a three year period of spending 300+ nights a year on the road, and I resonate with much of the guidance. This would make a good Con panel.
MCO is my home airport—all I’ll say is that it is loads better if you have TSA PreCheck

As you're gearing up for the holiday weekend, getting ready to binge on turkey and pie, coverage is lighter than normal. Your adversaries know this too. Before you leave for the festivities, check your event logging posture. We see an uptick in activity every holiday at our SOC.

There absolutely is a way to recover deleted files in XFS--much of the data and metadata remain after deletion. I owe the world a blog posting about this.
