Too many to name. But I was reminded of this piece I wrote a decade ago about one of my early mentors righteousit.wordpress.com/20…
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?

2020 prediction: it’ll be a lot like every other year, so maybe you should get around to completing your asset inventory and getting rid of that 2003 server that’s not doing anything important before you roll a 1 on the incident dice.

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.

To be honest, I thought we officially ran out of IPv4 years ago. Glad to see they officially announced it though. Guess this means the going rate for IPv4 address space is now a legit, full blown market.
Today, at 15:35, we made our final /22 IPv4 allocation from the last remaining addresses in our available pool. We have now run out of IPv4 addresses.
Read our full announcement here:

Do you know someone looking to make the jump to information security in Portland Oregon? Have a great team and excellent manager looking to hire a Jr. SOC analyst; can give a direct referral. DMs open.

"Data exfiltration season" is upon us...
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.
Poor Roger is in detox from all the 80's pop we made him listen to last week
After a week of #Unix and #Linux security and hardening with @hal_pomeranz I’m back to the office and back to listening to music at work. Playing the new @raisedfist album Anthems. Pretty good stuff! Very very good training too, btw #SEC506 @SANSInstitute

Go check out the WWII era oil storage tanks they cut into the cliffside. Near there is also a live coral reef exhibit that is pretty cool. Avoid at all costs the Paspaley Pearls exhibit which is nearby—it’s a commercial masquerading as a museum.

I’m more a math person. I give you $1M and you go nuts and spend $3K/day—you’re out of money in a year. I give you $1B, and it will take you 1000 years to spend it all at the same rate. $100B will take you 100,000 years to spend.

In September, I left my media job to heal from burnout. It was a risky financial decision I was privileged to make, and I've spent the last two months processing that choice, what it cost me, and what drove me to that point.

Understanding the importance of container security is no longer isolated to security people. Just in time for your flight to #KubeCon, we've published an ebook on the fundamental concepts of container security, and why they matter to your business: g.co/cloud/containersecurity…
