mastodon 4.8.0-alpha.3+glitchI do stuff, I have opinions. These are not necessarily my employers opinions. I think I'm funny.
I, like Mark Twain, believe that "Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer."
I also believe that "Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate motherfucker."

@davidaugust@mastodon.online it's true. There are very few folks in my generation who can hear the phrase "Yippie-kai-yay" . . . and not automatically fill out the rest.

@IanAMartin@thecanadian.social @FritzAdalis@infosec.exchange @catsalad@infosec.exchange @cR0w@infosec.exchange I was reminded of this as I was an unofficial observer of an NCCDC competition in San Antonio - and not being a member of judging or competitive team, I was free to wander to observe both the competitors and the red team as the competition progressed.
I was also free to drink heavily during the duration of the competition - but I digress, as is my wont.
The folks running the competition had put together some fairly realistic legacy ecosystems that the teams were to defend - even throwing in a mission critical Solaris system that was running an OS that had its last patch issued long before any of the competitors were born - just for good measure (and as a realistic example of what one might expect to inherit when joining the workforce)
But this is a story about the simulated IoT network (which was some make-believe gas pumps) that were simulated on about a dozen raspberry pis in the display room. And, for some reason - whoever sourced the pis had procured sound hardware and speakers for each of them, presumably because they were sociopathic. Or psychopathic. Or possibly both.
It did not take long for the red team to find the "gas-pumps" and thoroughly grundle them like Coach on a Trash Can
I was in the room with the pis when it first happened.
There was no warning.
The first one popped - and the sound of the nyan cat theme started playing from it's tinny speakers like it was being broadcast from the Lego™ dimension.
And then the next started - a little off sync from the first, and then the next and the next and the next until the only thing that you could hear was the cacophony of 6the nyan cat theme just barely out of phase - providing what I would have to imagine what the waiting room in the DMV in Hell would sound like.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social preparation and presentation of a meal like that is of utmost importance - so in this case - I'd suggest that each of them toss the other's salad.

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange my 2 bits:
It's kind of a trolley problem where the actual harm that is inflicted by pulling the lever is actually unknown.
While I wouldn't argue that that the use of AI tools equates to tying people to railroad tracks (at least yet) - there is a non-zero value of harm that would be inflicted upon [ a person | culture | society | the environment ] by making a conscious decision to "pull the lever" (use the AI/LLM tool).
There are literally entire courses in philosophy that grapple with the trolley problem (to no real resolution) and I don't expect that the answer to your dilemma is going to be much easier here.

@infoseclogger@infosec.exchange I remember one time dealing with an MSSP whom shall remain nameless, and I had put in a request to update one of our honeynets (i.e. any traffic destined to those networks were immediately marked as suspicious, as they was nothing there, but the network was null routed past our primary gateways so we could see traffic headed there)
The subnet was a /24.
The analyst entering the update mistakenly marked the subnet as /2.
E-mail on the phone was a new thing for us back then, but we were all able to immediately tell that something was amiss - because everyone's phones started to heat up.

@gayint@infosec.exchange I propose that we replace CVE severity metric (i.e. 1-10) with the number of U's in the "FUCK" in the gayint threat assessment video of said vulnerability. (e.g. 22 for this issue)
