There was a time not that long ago...oh wait maybe it was, when smoking in the data center was okay. My how time flies over the decades...

I don't think Austin deals with ice that much so the kind hearted folks decided to put some sand out (probably all they had) as a token gesture of good faith and to CYA for insurance purposes.

Free internet..probably after we get the flying cars we were promised.

Kudo's on all the work that I know has gone on in the background. I am sure there will be some growing pains as a result but we will be here to perceiver!

Excellent...this shall be fun like the last ones.

Wow...put a bunch of the greatest cliches in the industry and debunked in one posting !! adatole​, your thoughts and perspective as usual are well put !

Somewhat tricky but I liked it. Put into perspective the possible answers to see how they fit the question and the hints provided.

zennifer That's not a cheesy grin...it's the real thing ! Yes the Thwackpack is great quality as is the messenger bag. maria.bungau​, mrs.alterego​, and DanielleH​ all need a round of applause for their great and continued hard work to make this such a great place ! There are many others behind the scenes as well....

Glad to see the use of velcro strips for cable management. Zip are great but just not quite the best choice....especially when you have Jim-Bob and his handy bowie knife trying to cut a zip tie to add or remove a cable.

Now if had been OS/2 ? Maybe.

Congrats rsoto !!

“careless and untrained insiders” are the same threat to non federal agencies....

Of course there were times in history where aircraft of ours were stolen and reverse engineered...to some success. The B-29 was copied: Tupolev Tu-4 - Wikipedia

heads up... the link for question one points back to the june mission page. THWACK Monthly Mission - June 2016

Wednesday Hump day Bump !

google is probably already doing that with data from your phone... Your phone provider is probably doing that as well. Then there is your onboard devices like onstar....again with navigation built in, it is likely feeding data up too...

Looks to be interesting....looking forward to investigating netpath and seeing it work firsthand.

As long as you have coffee to go with the bacon I'm set!!

Congrats neoceasar​ !

I don't see how a cloud provider is workable in a full restore situation...so much is based on delta's or changed data. Where is your weekly full backup ? Partial backups after a weekly full should get you through most situations....but you still need immediate access to a full backup. Crucial data needs to be backed fully…

It is funny how many shops ran from the mainframe in the interest of distributed systems as was the current buzz phrase of the mid 90's...and are now figuring out how to migrate back...or other shops are actually looking at a mainframe for raw power rated in MIPS. They had virtual and SAN working decades before the…

On the phone you could have a QR code on a card the camera scans...

What is disconcerting for some is (for an uncapped AIX environment) that you can be running over 100% cpu and everything is fine.

When you get 7 it'll be "Doh !! " moment

As you mentioned security these days is behind the curve and always trying to catch up. But the first step as you also stated was to be aware. If you aren't aware you can't take steps to defend. I am looking forward to the other aspects of SOAR. 

Done.

Sounds like dependency mapping, understanding the physical makeup of your environment, and correlation of events. Asecklerwr1​ says, event correlation is more of an art than a science. 

@"sturdyerde" get an "on air" light like for broadcast radio stations or even what some Ham Radio operators use. Put a switch next to your headset or maybe even set up a smart plug so you can tell Alexa to turn it on/off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDg-hTP9V2M 

I found this on a social media site but thought it would be appreciated here.
