People are struggling more and more every day. Be compassionate. Even "easy" things are hard right now.

I'm happy to announce an errata update of my Linux Forensics class (also added @SecShoggoth's honeypot image for practice). archive.org/details/HalLinux…
If you'd like to be part of the first ever in-person run of the class register at kernelcon.org/training#linux…

I think we all agree here. SELinux isn't perfect but it will knock out the automated, ankle-biter level exploits and give you more visibility into higher-level attacks. Consider also that more adoption of SELinux would help expose and close the flaws in SELinux itself.

Some great stories about Boggs from @paulvixie during our recent panel discussion during WWHF Deadwood. It feels too soon to be losing these great inventors.
In the 1970s, David Boggs helped create Ethernet, the powerful etworking technology that connects PCs to printers, other devices and the internet in offices and homes. He has died at 71. nyti.ms/3porn9m

Ubuntu has gone with App Armor and so that’s the most natural choice for that platform. But SELinux is the choice on every other Linux platform.

Q: Why is Hal going on about SELinux again?
A: Because I investigate lots of Linux intrusions that would have failed if SELinux was enabled.
At least come and learn to criticize SELinux from a position of knowledge and not FUD.
Coming up March 9-10 is @hal_pomeranz's 6-hour course, "SELinux – Necessary and Not Evil!" 10% of this course will be donated to @RuralTechFund.
What's your experience with SELinux? Good? Bad? Let us know!
Course details & registration can be found here: ow.ly/7q7a50I6lHa

We are so far from living up to the ideals laid out in our founding documents. And the hypocrisy is particularly rank at this moment.

I wanted to write that such behavior is un-American. But the reality is that denigrating, abusing, and using others for political and financial gain has played itself out in American history from the founding of the republic 250 years ago.

Using any group of humans—immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, anybody—as a wedge issue or to “motivate your base” is despicable. It’s also straight out of the authoritarian playbook. It frightens me that such people hold positions of power.

Florida says “hold my beer” and is enacting legislation that would have school teachers outing kids to their parents

I believe this was mentioned in a VH-1 “Behind the Music” episode
Like all things in life, it can be related to the Spice Girls.
In their smash hit Wannabe (if you wanna be my lover)
"if you wanna be my lover, you gottta setenforce 1"
(at least that's how the original cut went before it got workshopped to death)

Please turn on SELinux. Please. Please. Please. At the very least in "Permissive" mode. archive.org/details/HalSELin…
