I think the WHOIS thing bothers me the most... I'm so sick of these scammer people... many of the same that probably do robo calls with some guy saying hi this is so en so from Microsoft and I'm calling about problems with your computer. I've used whois since my early days when the web was first being built and it's a…

Outside of extra specialized training I have a bunch of training I'm required to take annually. Sometimes it's a pain and I have to watch to make sure I don't miss deadlines on them.

I'm glad SW is finally on there with everyone else... congrats denny.lecompte​ and I never got the chance to tell you before I'm glad you came back! I remember Denny from the old thwack website.

Not the first time Cisco updates for firepower has caused issues... never saw them block parts of Thwack before though! For some reason the new rules thought the store and questions in both of the challenges were something that needed to be blocked? Go figure.

This is also works well for larger companies to run their own cloud. Same principal just on our hardware.

More... that's sideways oh geesh! HP Rubidium. and Cesium. not sure why it's rotated but multiple quartz oscillators, and HP 5071A Cesium. I'm 100% timenut and voltnut! Plus I I'm scientist and a monitoring freak! That's not even half of it but I wanted to show you some of what I do at home! Bill

I can tell you it's not going to happen... at least not in next few years. My girlfriend used to work for Time Warner interfacing as a representative for TW and attend all the FCC meetings. She knows Ajit Pai and the others and would meet with them often in DC. Restoring Internet Freedom | Federal Communications Commission

Well if Fancy Bear is the Russian military hacking org then it's great the MS has stepped up to block their C&C domains etc.!

Wow I like the sound of that... they just call me the SolarWinds SME. o.O!

You'd like it where I work Rick... we can't have any devices that transmit anything where we work. No cellphones, no smart watches, no Fit Bits! They all spend the ENTIRE day locked up in little boxes outside the work areas.

We're doing more CMMC3, 800-171 now in addition to all the 800-53 we've been doing under RMF! Seems we have another new job to do these days! Bill

I struggle a little with DR/BC. It seems a LOT of the times there are plans but really no way to test those plans all the way.

This is impressive ">aLTeReGo!

It seems like a lot to take on all at one time.

NPM and SAM together with some VMAN does a really good job on all these requirements.

We all find out yeah there a lot of traffic here and when... it's netflow that tells us some layer 4 transport layer information like what the traffic actually is :^}

sqlrockstar​ has a nice tshirt collection!

Query Crimes!

That's sooooo true!!!!

Now with RMF in the DoD space we basically have to document everything... every process and they have to be reviewed and tested annually.

Sent to me from D.C. I'm not much of a memer... takes too much time.

I had to think a little on the first question as often these kinds of questions can lead you down a path you don't want to be on if you're not careful.

You always put some thought into what you say Leon and that's a good thing. I wish more people would be like that. Also traveling for work at first seems great because you get to goto many places but... after years of doing it I've found it takes a toll on myself and my family. I don't travel as much anymore and to be…

I'm kinda dreading ever having to roll out O365 from all the stuff I've read on thwack!

I'm almost suprised more people aren't voting for this... I haven't even stacked mine yet and I want it!

We use ACAS and HBSS to monitor our infrastructure for vulnerabilities and lock down endpoints on DoD networks. Also SolarWinds software can be approved for use on DoD networks. I've seen Orion on some very "controlled" networks.

I learned Apple Pascal on 5.25" floppies on an Apple ][+ when I was around 12 years old @"KMSigma.SWI" ! I remember it took two floppies because it was so large. Bill

One thing I'd like to see added besides threaded comments would be video thumbnails in posts...

I always wondered about the flying spiders thing!
