I'm so tired of quarterly password resets. Can we all tell PCI fuck off and accept NIST's policy already and/or move to webauthn so we can just be done with this?

A few things are painfully obvious to me during the pandemic: One-size fits all learning isn't working. Kids who did terribly onsite are thriving online and vice versa. Internet access needs to be a utility and not a luxury. Remote work is an option for most industries.

Microsoft DNS Server vulnerability is wormable! There is a workaround that does NOT require reboot. I suggest applying this ASAP. Most Active Directory environments use Microsoft DNS Server. CVE-2020-1350 support.microsoft.com/en-us/… Screenshot since it is not loading for some.

Imagine if every SIEM adopted a single search query language. You know, like the SQL they all use on the back end?

I have no idea who did this, but if you know, find them and tag them. One of the best things I’ve seen on this app this week

Who are we? Where is our empathy? No president is bigger than the country, no matter his incendiary rhetoric or photo-ops. We can come together to make sure our nation's most lofty ideals are extended to all our citizens. It is up to America to define our own destiny.

It's a sad situation, and it's just getting sadder. My heart goes out to all affected. Please remember hate and violence are products of desperation but they do not build a good future, only love does that.

Can’t find the right cable? The fact that you can use a Micro USB 2.0 cable on devices with a 3.0 port always blows minds when I show people. So here you go! (Yes the speed will be limited to 480mbps, but a lot of times people don’t care)

1)DONATE PPE. Many of you represent industries that use PPE. Every box counts. Check with your facilities and operations managers. There is no reason for PPE to be sitting in storage when it could be saving lives. To donate PPE visit getusppe.org/give/ and choose a location

Today reach out to someone maybe you haven’t talked to in a while. Coworker, friend, family. Give them a little positive energy, some simple encouragement for the day. You’d be surprised how something small like that can really make a difference to people ❤️ – at Franklin, TN

I know I don’t need certs any more, but I’m going to requalify anyways. I’m thinking pentester academy red team. As a pentester I know I get complacent so I will get extremely uncomfortable and do more training. Never stop training

Apply for the job. "But I'm not qualified for it." Neither is the person who's going to get the job. Apply!
