It's on like Donkey Kong!
Although pre-conference training started Tuesday, the official kick-off @WWHackinFest Deadwood 2021 is at 5:20 ET today. Not in-person, but still super-excited to hear some of my favorite people, like @shewhohacks @hal_pomeranz @HackingDave @strandjs @AlyssaM_InfoSec!

hunting for system native bins running from unusual location is still one of the most effective low hanging detection opportunities with pretty decent TP/FP rate. don't forget to include also your own endpoint too & any processes that you tend to exclude often from other hunts.

If you don’t have a built-in love of manipulating mathematical symbols, problems like this are just frustrating.
Right now our daughter's take-away is that math sucks and she's bad at it. But I keep battling through it with her.

You want kids to not hate math? Stop making it about pointless symbolic manipulation and actually show them why calculus matters in the real world. Because it's really, really important.

The kids are being taught to do this as a triple chain rule-- "(tan(3x^2))^(-1/2)". And the tangent requires them to remember their trig derivative identities. But there is no real-world case for any of this, so it's just abuse.

I’m actually a big believer in Calculus. But that problem is just endless symbolic manipulation that has no real value. It’s simply a time-waster.

Problem on daughter's calculus assignment:
"f(x)=1/sqrt(tan(3x^2)), calculate f'(x)"
<sarcasm>Wow, there are so many real-world applications where this might come up. I'm so glad she can spend her time on this!</sarcasm>

Thanks to @bryanbrake for the original link highlight. I have a friend who used to be a driver (sort of got pushed out due to an injury by his employer) who told us stories like this in the US. The world runs on these logistics. Don’t ever take them or these folks for granted.
What goes into an average shift driving a lorry?
Thought I would live tweet about my shift tonight. Might be interesting, or not, either way I have few remaining opportunities to show you into a world you may not otherwise ever see.
Feel free to share if you wish 🚛

You can choose to be the change you want to see in the world. Or at your workplace. Or wherever.
But waiting on someone to make the change for you is almost always a losing move. Take ownership of your situation and to the extent possible, live life on *your* terms.

Proud hacker father moment— our 12 year old figured out on his own how to use the inspector in his web browser and modify the Javascript to change the page look and feel. Wait until I tell him he can use it to cheat his favorite web games.

📢 REMINDER:
This is a fast-paced field.
You can't always be first, but you can often be the first to be right. Or the first to be thorough.
This applies to leading a #DFIR investigation, writing #threatintel, and security journalism.
Work with people that challenge hypotheses.
