Most organizations don't even have a good data strategy/policy. We skipped past the whole big data era and went straight into the burning cash simulator. We haven't even fully explored all there is to explore with simple ML models. 800 billion parameter AI is not going to stop a breach.

Who at #aws approved taking away the ability to mirror traffic from RDS instances??? That was such a shortsighted and dumb decision. Maybe, just maybe, there might be a valid use case for mirroring RDS traffic. Maybe we WANT to see the raw packets. This is anti-customer behavior.

Man half the challenge in fixing state government networking issues is finding the right office who has access to the infra that has a problem 😭

Now he's threatening war with Denmark over Greenland

Oh yeah Trump threatening war over the Panama canal. President of peace my ass.

TIL it's actually not *that* hard to setup C2 infra and create accompanying reverse shells. In fact, it's actually pretty easy if you know the basics of python, steganography, and web development. It's so effective too; literally undetectable by XDR

What a waste of money that could have gone to electing direct opposition to agent orange. Stop doing useless shit like this and actually organize. If we pool our people, resources, time, and knowledge, we can easily defeat extremism in this country AND fix our problems.

US National Institutes for Health DNS nameservers have stopped responding. I guess we find out Monday if Elon has deleted them, this has been the pattern at other orgs that DOGE has deleted.

🚨ATTENTION The deadline to register to vote in Florida’s special elections in CD-1 or CD-6 is THIS MONDAY, March 3rd. These two seats are crucial with a narrow majority in the House. Double check your status and register to vote at iwillvote.com.

#EconomicBoycott People have the power!

The letter ‘d’ in Dunstable is load-bearing. Take it away & see what happens

This is “shifting security left”. Amazon Web Services does this with their security guardians program and it’s the only true, effective way to do security at scale.

Apple have announced they are working to fix a dictation feature for iPhones where the word “racist” is being momentarily transcribed as “Trump.”

Man it is truly crazy when people in the #infosec community want to act like what's happening to CISA and NIST isn't a problem. It is a huge fucking issue when the agencies that help state and local agencies in cybersecurity the most are being cut and going through the loyalty test nonsense.

I `chmod 777` till she `sudo` on my command

Yo, it is stupid cheap to run machine learning models if they aren't bloated systems.

A US judge is absolutely roasting the US government today. Here’s the text and a photo of them.

I've been working on a tiny machine learning model focused on evaluating text to determine if the value represents spam/malicious activity. I will be publicly releasing it soon for those who are interested. If you'd like to test it, hit me up in the DMs! #machinelearning #infosec

I love Alpine Linux so much

I have a hunch that domestic terrorism will increase over the next 4 years

It's been fun watching the LinkedIn cybersecurity gatekeeper crowd rapidly pivot from "you're not qualified to work in cybersecurity if you don't have a degree and certifications" to "actually, I think a 25 year old coder is perfectly qualified to perform a financial audit of the federal gov".

Advanced math is so much easier to learn through code. It's more readable, intuitive, and just overall lower barrier to entry for understanding.

Honeypots are live! Already being smacked by a few bots looking for generic misconfigurations, but a few have already figured out that this might be a Cityworks app. Let's see if they fall for the bait 👀 #honeypots #threatintel #cve-2025-0994

Made a honeypot for CVE-2025-0994, going to deploy soon and see what exploits people are using :) #CVE-2025-0994 #cityworks #threatintel

I love AWS Organizations and Control Tower so much. It literally is so easy to make your cloud estate scalable and manageable. #aws #cloud

SENDING AMERICANS OFF TO EL SALVADORIAN PRISONS?!? Not a joke. The U.S. outsourcing incarceration to El Salvador? This is horrifying. We cannot let this happen. youtube.com/shorts/C9WYu...

The aetna developers need to fix their broken applications. Terrible user experience.

Yeah I see why DevOps engineers are their own separate thing. Managing pipelines is fucking annoying when you're developing software. I also see why platform engineering is so much better than DevOoops.

I love docker dude. Can leave a project alone for 6 months and come back later to a still functional app.

Just a reminder that if you are a small business owner (or just in charge of some aspect of a business), use the business tier licensing for products. Usually, companies will offer better intellectual property protections when products are licensed to businesses. Usually...
