It is Monday the 6th.

Had to double check and triple check today Jan 15. It could be tricky!

the really hard part is doing actual important usuable correllation... it's really an art more than science I think.

I'm familiar with the "loot boxes" as many mobile games have been using this model for a long time. When I was college for Assembly Language Programming class we did it on a DEC Vax and I remember the book we used was a PDP-11 book on assembly language. It was some of the remaining vestiges of the old multi-user systems. I…

Yeah I'm having trouble with it.

Not only did they double or triple... you now have absolutely no control over most of it and on top of that when something really goes wrong... what can you do about it? Better read the small print on the contract or have a team of lawyers look at it if you are using that cloud for anything but your own business too!

We have massive tool sprawl... some tools still used are from 15+ years ago!

Put ur phone in and VR headset is yours!

Now that's a green DC! We also are migrating to Cisco UCS and use VMware and NSX to reduce our physical server footprint.

There's a LOT of truth to that Richard. The video game babies that were the first babies born with a tablet and video game console from birth are now the remote pilots flying drones in Afghanistan from inside a shipping container somewhere here in the US.

++++1 on that. The stuff SAM has been doing with the agent is actually helping pull the rest of Orion forward too! With a linux agent in development I may actually start seeing into my DMZ's. The snmp status polling was a start. In my environment they'll never allow icmp past a firewall period. The covert channel abuse of…

The changes have been large and mostly not all good. I haven't missed a single day of work because the type of work I do is considered "essential services." In the early days when lockdowns first started I even carried around in my car a letter that said it was ok for me to be driving around to and from work. The number of…

16 was worse... there were at least two answers that were correct.

I'm excited to soon be finally building up a new Orion instance for an air-gapped network I work with regularly!

MS seems to be trying to get rid of installed office... I was luckily able to get one of the last copies of real office with our work discount before they only now allow O365 where you pay yearly... I now have two copies of office pro plus real full office suite... one I didn't really need but the price is so good I went…

Very good explanation on setting up windows event logging... especially the collector part!

It's how we get an accurate time source for ntp without any wires to the outside world... we get the time directly from the GPS satellites... just a little antenna. Common with important air gapped networks.

I'm learning to cover many of these things with LEM now. LEM is a pretty neat tool for the money when it comes to digesting logs from various sources.

I didn't get into it this year like in the past... maybe I've been too busy idk.

I just checked it's happening in IE and in Chrome.

I can tell you this... Commvault Enterprise Data Protection solution is next to impossible to get it let go of your data! Even when you want it to! It's some of the most complicated software not because it's hard but because they've added SO many knobs and buttons to it (many many you don't need) it makes simple things an…

Wow sounds like a big trip!

VMan sure helps with this!!! I finally got all my cores covered!!!

My guess is the only reason EIGRP wasn't added is that it's Cisco proprietary routing protocol but not sure why that should matter. OSPF etc. are open source protocol.

I think it's actually a little harder when you don't know how many answers there are and it makes it more challenging.

yep we need multiple choice boxes not a single selection circle

I did too and like an idiot got it wrong. The reverse negative can suck you in!

They're really just RFID tags right?

Being from a background of internet providers I can actually see the Net Neutrality from both sides. How would you like it if some company like NetFlix with no infrastructure of their own could just eat 75% of your bandwidth for free?
