All I’m saying is don’t image search ‘French Telephone Plug’ on DuckDuckGo during a presentation with safe search turned OFF.

drsbaitso,

@SecurityWriter Huh. The key absence is a + on telephone.

Hint, it's also not this:

You know what the coolest feature about the Web is?

(It's none of the things that have been added to it in the last 30 years.)

The coolest feature of the World Wide Web is that a fucking HTML page from like 1993 still renders perfectly fine today.

The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.

Here’s the original source of the story: https://archive.is/2024.01.30-203406/https://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/wirtschaft/kriminalitaet-die-zahnbuersten-greifen-an-das-sind-die-aktuellen-cybergefahren-und-so-koennen-sie-sich-schuetzen-ld.2569480

It’s simply a made up example. It doesn’t exist. It starts talking about NoName Ddosia, too, which also isn’t toothbrushes.

I’d like to thank all the Mastodon reply guys in the thread who decided the story was real, btw, based on vibes.

Anyone work at and giving out gear? My iPhone goes from 100% to zero in like 9 minutes, always when I’m doing something important.

Building an icosahedron solely from regular pentagons is like solving a captivating puzzle – you have to experience the challenge and symmetry firsthand to truly appreciate its geometric beauty! 🔷🧩 #Geometry #PuzzleChallenge #Hedron

Made with the Hedron App by only putting dodecahedra together face to face.

pauliehedron,

@hedron I'm a fan of hedrons. :ablobcatnod:

    Hello everyone. I know that these are tough times for many people. If you derive value from the fediverse and have the means to do so, please consider donating to support your instance. Most instances rely on donations to pay the bills (infosec.exchange and friends cost over $3000/month to host).

    Instructions on how to donate are generally available on your instance's "about" page (for example: https://infosec.exchange/about)

    Also, I firmly believe that access to the fediverse should not be tied to one's ability to pay, and I think it's even more important for those in difficult situations to maintain the social connections that the fediverse provides, so (at least in my view) donations are welcome, but not required in any way.

    And for those people who already donate, my hats off to you. You make the fediverse possible. :blobheartcat:​

    Just going to say it: 2013 was the last good Internet. Full of arrow to the knee, chonky boi, overly attached girlfriend, do it for the vine, electro house, rage comics, bad luck brian, one does not simply walk into Mordor, taylor swift goat, etc. There has been no Culture since.

    does anyone have source for schematics that do not require giving money to shady forums for VIP/credits/whatever?

    I am looking for Wistron San Mateo 16507-1M, and not find any free downloads.

    I’m in a reflective mood this week and it’s kind of wild to me that I’m known as a “provocateur” in for takes like:

    💡 don’t shame victims

    💡 UX matters, a lot

    💡we should understand what we’re supposed to protect

    💡 if someone clicking a thing on the thing-clicking machine leads to security failure, they are not the foolish one

    💡 the best things a security program can invest in aren’t in the RSAC vendor hall

    💡 maybe we should start actually proving outcomes??????????

    ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Comment on the same article reads, “Ubisoft needs to start "Feeling Comfortable" with their games being pirated.”

    Don't forget to send a few bucks @jerry's way now and then to support this instance https://infosec.exchange/about
    And y'all on other instances, do the same for those

    If Sandworm is already on your list.. I found Tracers in the Dark entertaining.

    Cliff Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg for some real hacking nostalgia.

    If you're into real-life spy OPSEC, then Tower of Secrets by Victor Sheymov

    For fiction, Cory Doctorow's Red Team Blues is pretty good.

    For the last 20 days I had been seeing a lot of phishing/malware emails containing URLs to hostname.blob.core.windows[.]net hosed files.

    Today I’ve started seeing the same scam emails but now the URL is to hostname.storage.googleapis[.]com

    Where hostname is just a random bunch of numbers and letters.

    This story is an important development in piracy, but it also portends an increase in malware infections from more people seeking pirated content from any available source. There has always been and will always be a strong connection between pirated software, music, movies, etc. and malware droppers that turn systems into proxies or worse. And pirated products remain a major source of malware infections.

    btanderson,

    @SecurityWriter true. It’s the tech equivalent of a doctor saying “what the hell is that?”…much much more scary than “we don’t see that often”.

    Looks like a vulnerability in formerly popular remote access software was just added to the CISA KEV (Adobe Coldfusion). I thought most people would have moved on to more modern remote access software like MoveIt

    A few weeks ago I lost a debate with several journalists about use of the word "hype" in headlines and articles. My position was (an remains) that hype has a decidedly negative connotation that's antithetical to balanced reporting, because it denotes false enthusiasm by promoters with ulterior motives. For that reason, I went on to say, using "overhyped" was redundant and also should be avoided. They overwhelmingly overruled me saying hype means excitement, enthusiasm or anticipation and carries no negative connotation. They said use of the word can be perfectly fine when companies hype products or accomplishments that are, in fact, exciting or impressive. I'm still mad at losing.

    Modern cinema obsesses over subverting expectations, mistaking it for quality storytelling. Yes, surprise can enhance a film, but relying solely on it has created a sea of ridiculous stories. Not to mention, constantly trying to make a fool out of your paying audience to prove you're smarter than them is blind arrogance.

    Great cinema balances the unexpected with compelling, coherent storytelling that respects both the medium and its audience.

    The word 'clean' has the same ancestor as German and Dutch 'klein' (small; little).

    The meaning of this common Proto-Germanic ancestor is reconstructed as "shining".

    In the Germanic daughter languages, this meaning shifted following different paths.
