It probably won't be a surprise that my favorite movie of all time is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1977). I get asked about that a lot this time of year. Tis the season, so let me to tell you why I love it so much...

Yeah, it didn’t seem likely to me that an attacker would be installing the UPX unpacker to look at the binary.

COVID is to public health as recycling is to the environment: people were sold a solution they can fix with good citizenship, rather than a massive public policy undertaking, and they're rightly confused when that--and nothing else--didn't work.

I had to have the subtitles on to deal with some of the accents in the Peter Jackson Beatles documentary

In case it helps anybody else... CONFIG_THUNDERBOLT is no longer in the Linux kernel, it's called CONFIG_USB4 now. So if you update your kernel and suddenly your dock stops working, maybe this tweet will save you all the time I just spent troubleshooting that. :)

Can I say there is something morally injurious to being urged to cancel all my Christmas plans so I don’t get Covid so that I am still capable of looking after all of the people who got Covid because they didn’t cancel their Christmas plans.

Yep yep. That’s fair. I bet you’ll find some way to let them know.

Chin up, sister. Gifts are not the reason people love and appreciate you.

You have learned the lesson twice now (I hope) how it feels to patch whatever is vuln to this nightmarish hellscape. Here's just a little voice to remind you to be documenting your process so it hurts less when you have to do it again later. There will always be a later...

The most exhausting part of my COVID experience is the constant calculation and re-calculation of risk vs joy. I'm frankly burned out by it, and lately I'm optimizing for joy.

The 2022 @DFRWS USA CFP is now open. This is a great venue to publish a peer-reviewed paper in an academic setting that understands the value of memory forensics and malware analysis. Please see the full details here: dfrws.org/dfrws-usa-2022-cal… #DFIR #infosec

Perhaps we'd do well to consider that discomfort as a human response to the moral weight of actions with consequences. Few important decisions in life are clear cut, devoid of weight or nuance. And we'd do well to face it head on rather than paper over it for 'business-as-usual'.

I’ve worked pretty hard to be searchable, yes. I’m also thinking that law firms are going to go with experts via personal referrals much more than searching some random, for-profit expert directory.

I am being bombarded with requests to join online expert witness directories (for the low, low monthly price of...). Are any of these useful for driving business? I am skeptical.

More like "potentially grounded outlet". I've seen plenty of three-prong outlets that are installed without a proper grounding wire.
