The grammar police in my head are screaming about your subject/verb agreement.

I love these prizes. Much better than usual.

tallyrich obviously for the same reason KIT had one in Knight Rider. Das blinkenlights

On the topic of credentials, adding a few new local credentials over time on top of the huge list we try to carry in our heads is not the answer. Because then the complexity or predictability will suffer. I know it seems obvious, but this list just seems to get bigger weekly. Leading to forgotten credentials for each new…

Sysadmin question for today seems unwilling to take the answer that is word-for-word off of the hint page.

Have to wonder what 'defense in depth' Equifax had. Did they have a way to see the anomalies the exfiltration would cause? Was the exfiltration HTTP posts, ICMP traffic, or something else? For those already stung by the OPM breach (or Target, or one of the other big breaches), there is a little more exposure to compound…

If one isn't thinking like a black hat, the importance of securing the network may be overlooked. In a sense, those kids may have been providing a valuable service. Perhaps they are all highly-paid pen testers now.

Right...what clubjuggle said. I can see how GNS3 and NCM could do cool things together. But in my current employment, and the two before that, I couldn't just install stuff because thwack told me to. Defense in depth/ change control/ application whitelisting/ least privilege would all (by design) work against me. Even in…

While working at a bank in data comm department, we used to be on call for a week at a time. My coworker was actually on call one night but was probably drunk and incoherent again, so I got a call. My faminly and I happened to be staying at my mother-in-law's house out of town that night. It was a small house and I thought…

"Meetings...because none of us is as dumb as all of us." Credit to despair.com for that one. Side note--that's an awesome site. Would love their stuff as a Thwack contest prize.

Will try to watch it the next rainy day. And then feel bad about not studying for a cert.

Infection via long URLs reminds of the difference between IE and Firefox (years ago, had to be between 2009 and 2012) where Firefox would accept a cookie if the URL had an underscore. IE would not. One of the system integrators insisted to me that my load balancing didn't work. Worked for me every time. Seems he was an IE…

I like that Delta is switching to IOS. Anything that might force Microsoft to compete. Remember how long it took to get tabs in Internet Exploder? So many years after other browser had it. I can't do multiple desktops on my Windows PCs and can't kill the GUI at will. No support for filesystems I use (ext4/ resierfs). I'm…

Welcome brett.holzhauer Favorite part of thwack--cool items in store and cool prizes. Could they be cooler, you're thinking? Of course--Amazon, despair.com Demotivator items, Think Geek.

This functionality would have saved me several man-years while maintaining two pairs of mirrored environments plus a lab.

Official CEH prep material seems to give a taste of what it must be like to be an 'English as a second language' speaker taking a certification test in English. (It's probably how I sound using Spanish when ordering food at Mexican restaurants.) Not yet sure if that will derail me--it's more of an annoyance. The price of…

It actually didn't hurt.

But as time went on, and both the company and the technology changed (or didn't), I became apathetic, and then contrarian. I've run Linux on my primary systems for over a decade now, mostly out of spite. Running Linux out of spite for Microsoft? Me too! I believe the saying is something like: Linux is for people who hate…

Whoever created the adblock package for OpenWRT/ LEDE routers gave us back the internet (the way it once was). Configure browser to use router as SOCKS proxy and your unrooted device can use home router for ad blocking while away. So when Al Gore invented those things, it was really cool.
-
On a slightly related note, certification tests from Cisco always seemed to assume complete ignorance of anything not in a Cisco study guide. This was a while ago and may have changed, but I recall taking their tests which assumed one would use a router and a layer two switch, and then returning to my job and doing…

Some conflicting best practices which support the 'false' answer : http://www.solarwinds.com/network-monitoring-best-practices How To Set Up Availability, Interface, & Disk Monitoring Presumably DPA koolade is 'bester' at the moment. As next month's flavor of the month will be 'bestest' for answering next month's…

Me too as well. Also.

Re: In my soon-to-be-released eBook, 10 Ways I Can Steal Your Data, I cover the not-so-talked-about ways that people can access your enterprise data. It covers things like you're just GIVING me your data, ways you might not realize you are giving me your data, and how to keep those things from happening. Currently four…

In a few years, I expect there will be a big anti-Google frenzy. Then, a few more years, a frenzy about Google's replacement. Presumably, some folks here used to use AOL/ Prodigy/ cave drawings. Not sure that Google will always be the 800-lb gorilla. Having squeezed Microsoft out of my life years ago, Yahoo was the Plan B.…

Saw an article just this weekend about GPS signals being altered. Hopefully folks are considering the likelihood that the 'bad guys' can and will attack GPS.

Yes, exactly. Do we need to have Rocky part 20? Fast and Furious part 37? Also any movies containing actors with 'icolas age' contained in their name. Nepotism really pays in Hollywood. I have been reluctant to watch any sequels for quite some time. Notable exceptions: Lord of the Rings, Borne

The coolest bluetooth speaker. If the house was burning down, I would grab this, and then kick myself for not getting whatever the wife would have preferred.

I use NCM to download configs with a copy going to local filesystem. Then a batch file traverses config folders looking for configs with current dates and the output of those file names populating a text file. Then a step in the batch file uses PSCP and a cert to copy the configs off to another file system on another…
