Ransomware is simply threat actors figuring out a way to monetize the technical debt we've been baking into our systems for decades.

"When I was seventeen, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was twenty-four, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just seven years." -- author #MarkTwain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri (1835-1910). R.I.P.

The bosses we remember:
1 provided us a safe space to grow
2 opened career doors
3 defended us when we needed it
4 recognized and rewarded us
5 developed us as leaders
6 inspired us to stretch higher
7 led by example
8 told us our work mattered
9 forgave us when we made mistakes

Show me in the AP Calc textbook where any of the identities on our daughter’s worksheet are at all useful.
FYI, if you are wanting to try and solve any of the identities on the previous sheet, you will find these basic trig facts helpful.
Our daughter’s pre-calc class was given this sheet of 59 trig identities to verify over Thanksgiving break. Her teacher says this work is important for understanding calculus. I call BS. This is just a massive amount of meaningless busywork that will help nobody.

Friday Pentest Tip: Got shell access and you can compile/download stuff, but can't set execute permission due to blocked chmod or its underlying syscalls.
Try
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.27.so <ELF binary>
Look for dynamic linker in
/lib/ld-*
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-*

Please take this one seriously!!! We've seen multiple intrusions that have started with exploitation of Fortinet vulnerabilities. Don't let that be you.
Immediately update Fortinet to mitigate a critical vulnerability. go.usa.gov/x7Apk #Cyber #Cybersecurity #InfoSec

#CyberMentoringMonday Malware RE tip: When reading assembly, your goals change what you should focus on. Identifying capabilities => focus on API calls. Building Yara rules => focus on unique assembly code-blocks. Focus on goals and don't get lost down rabbit holes.

Always look out for yourself, because your employer will screw you every chance they get. (happily self-employed for 20+ years now)

Grateful for so much—love, safety, hope. Let me share these with people in need in the coming year.

The Carrier book is very good—even though it only goes up to EXT3, there’s a lot of important info in there. Otherwise most of my knowledge comes from the developer docs.
