It's working, now I need the Altos 8000 MP/M II disks! They're nowhere to be found on the internet. Does anyone happen to have them? Maybe you know someone who knows someone? Please help me get the last working Altos 8000 running in full multi-user mode! #RetroComputing
Feeling inspired today to revisit a machine I got 7 years ago: a Z80 based Altos (with an S!) ACS8000-15A minicomputer. I have a lot more knowledge and a lot more tools than I did back then, so maybe I can get it to do something this time around?

My Linux Forensics class @WWHackinFest Deadwood will likely be my last live training this year. I'll be in-person at Deadwood and live-streaming the class for virtual attendees. Hope to see you there! wildwesthackinfest.com/deadw…

If you're just getting started, I would recommend @strandjs and his SOC Core Skills "pay what you can" course. My stuff is better when you get some knowledge under your belt.

Especially for the ladies: The world will constantly try to make you feel smaller & less capable than you are. Don’t beat them to it by dressing down your accomplishments or potential, even to yourself. Boldly assert your knowledge, experience, & ask for a shot at new challenges.
Never let imposter syndrome stop you. Think you're not good enough for a job? Apply anyway. Think you're not good enough to contribute to open source? Do it anyway. Think you're not smart enough to work at, say, Google? Well think again It's NEVER your job to reject yourself.

Jason has built many communities. Now his own family needs your help. If you can, help Jason.
My dad was recently diagnosed with terminal liver disease and is hopeful for a transplant. If you'd like to donate to help him cover his medical expenses (this is difficult to ask), my family has setup a GoFundMe. Thank you. gofund.me/d93422bf

#Malware Analysis Tip: Windows registry contains an interesting key (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\UAC\COMAutoApprovalList) that shows all COM objects that auto-elevate, bypassing UAC. Malware may be able to modify or hijack some these to elevate privileges.

As one of my earliest mentors told me (after he learned the pension plan he had been paying into for 30 yrs was gutted by unscrupulous management)— “Look out for [yourself] kid, because they will screw you every time!”

Please don't let media or prominent people in this community make you feel that you owe some one way loyalty and good faith action to any organization. You do not if they're not going to show loyalty and good faith to you in return. /FIN

When it comes to DFIR, Reverse Engineering, and performing security analysis in general, there's a number of useful, hidden gems out there. Here's some sites which you may, or may not know about, including some of the best in the industry👇

Fantastic post worth a read from Lina, whether you are offensive or defensive focused give it a read it's worth it! #Azure #BlueTeam

RIP Kathleen Booth, who Invented the first assembly language. She was 100 years old, and I have not seen anything in the news about it, unfortunately. With her husband, they formed the smallest computer group in the UK. Respect!

I trained as a gymnast under Larry Nassar. I know what a pedophile and a groomer are. It’s not a teacher with an “All Are Welcome” sign. It’s not a librarian who has award winning books on their shelves. Love your kids. Thank a teacher. Donate to a library. Cut the shit.

Of course we're compliant. We installed the control. Why are you even asking?

Three stages of career development are: I want to be in the meeting, I want to run the meeting, I want to avoid meetings.
