This week has seen me having multiple conversations about workplace cultures where people feel safe to admit mistakes. This is so important for the health of your people and your business.

I would encourage you apply if you think you’re a little under qualified. That way at least I have you on file for future positions even if you’re not a great fit. As always, less qualified people than you will!

Bullies and abusers take advantage of power dynamics in terms of job position, social capital, and societal biases.

Has anyone done active deception by replacing the whoami binary w/ a Rick roll that alerts the SOC when run on systems that don't tend to have admins that would regularly use whoami?

Hey loan originator, I don't want to spend time working on our relationship goals right now. I just want you to quote me.

Thanks for the kind words, Tyler! Your check is in the mail…
Last week I took @hal_pomeranz Linux Forensics course on @Antisy_Training. Amazing course and well worth every cent. Highly recommended!

So let me get this straight, @McDonalds. The chicken is the “air” portion of this horror show?

Red Team is always learning from the Blue. All you Blue Teamers take note.
Finished @Antisy_Training workshop "Linux Forensics" with @hal_pomeranz. I've done forensics in Win, but this was my first time doing with Linux. As an offensive person, learning about the artifacts and things left behind by attackers in linux, has made more well-rounded. A++

Is it possible to start a process as SYSTEM using only CreateFile and WriteFile? Yes Spoiler: Write a custom RPC client and create a temporary service using \\.\pipe\ntsvcs 🙂 x86matthew.com/view_post?id=…

One more I'll add: document who discovered each IOC and from where. The documentation often slows down jumping to conclusions and if you need to unravel a chain of false IOCs, it will be MUCH easier.
If you're investigating a security incident - do everyone a favor a ensure you do/don't do these two things. DO read all the log events in their entirety DONT make logic jumps assumptions to tie pieces of evidence together when there is no evidence. You will save so much time.

Comment from one of my Linux Forensics students— “Goal: find someone who looks at me like Hal looks at Linux file systems 🙂”
