Senior Security Researcher, Proofpoint Emerging Threats. Digital Arcanist

I've been doing this cybersecurity thing for the better part of a decade now. Probably longer than that. I'm starting to forget. Time is relative, but it surely isn't kind to my memory.

I'd like to think I do cybersecurity well, but blue teamers collectively get told they're doing it wrong constantly. So maybe I just failed forward throughout my career.

Oh, I wrote a book. Its a good framework for setting up a virtual machine lab. See my bookmarked toots if you're curious.

Finally, I occasionally write about tech/nerd-related things over at https://www.totes-legit-notmalware.site where I expose that I have a short fuse, and no filter.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange @krypt3ia@infosec.exchange I had a friend who was trying to figure out what field they wanted to go to school for. They called to ask me about cybersecurity. This friend of mine is a woman. "Listen, do you like solving puzzles and investigating problems, even when you don't have all the pieces of the puzzle? Not only that, having your male peers disrespect or objectify you all day even when you know you're right? Then by all means, do not let me stop you. Sure it pays well, but I want to make sure you know what you're getting into. If you want to go this route, I'll help you, but don't say I didn't warn you. Needless to say, she reconsidered.

for some of the bigger or more unique guns you can load beanbag rounds/nonlethals to knock down targets, You can load AP-HE (Armor Piercing High Explosive), AP-I (Armor Piercing Incendiary), EMP rounds (anti-mechanoid), some of the BIGGER guns like say, tank turrets can load APCR, Sabot rounds, etc. Grenade launchers and mortars can load incendiary, HE, airburst, smoke, EMP, etc. It opens up a lot of avenues of play. So combat extended has an option to turn off the ammo management feature, but it defaults all of your guns to FMJ rounds. Not ideal for dealing with mechanoids. The mod I found has you craft a set of ammo you want. you load it, and you get to reload it as much as you want. So, there is a cost for the ammo in terms of both materials, and having to carrying around the ammunition, but its not quite as bad as the full ammo management experience. It may not be balanced, but I'm looking to have fun. I'll try the full ammo management experience on a later playthrough.

I think I found a solution. A glue mod until I want to do a full combat extended/ ammo management run. The infinite ammo mod. See, combat extended takes the combat system of rimworld to another level. There are different damage types -- blunt vs. pierce damage, and different types of ammo for your guns. It isn't just about having to craft ammo and carry it, its about having the right ammo for the right situation. Let me give a basic example. let's take a machine gun. A machine guns can generally take two types of ammo: FMJ and AP. FMJ rounds are good for lightly armored targets, sort of like hollow-point rounds. You'd use them on raids with pirates or with neanderthal tribes trying to fuck with you. Ap rounds? You want those for factions that have serious armor. Like say, mechanoids, or other Deadman's switch factions. Those are just the basics for one type of gun.

The ammo management mods are a bit scary as you're required to be judicious with your ammo, and craft enough for expeditions to keep your dudes alive, otherwise, I hope you brought meelee weapons and/or dudes who are good in meelee combat.

discovered a bug. If you don't have combat extended ammunition management enabled, you can't actually load the tanks with ammo. they essentially become gigantic armored potatoes. I'm not sure I want to deal with combat extended ammo management yet, but I'm going to try enabling ammo management, crafting the right caliber for the armored vehicles, then seeing if disabling ammunition management at leasts lets me load the guns with one full magazine without breaking anything.

We've made some expansions today in Chestertucky. #Rimworld I expanded out my base to make a vehicle bay. Right now, it has our goliath, our motorcycle, and two dead man's switch units I'm building out: Towards the bottom, there's the "army steed" autonomous armored transport. I'm building a GAU-4 machine gun to serve for its defenses which is the gun pictured in the black and white photo I found on google. I've named it Stryker. Next to it, I'm building an "Alligator Snapper, which is the mod's version of a main battle tank. I plan on naming it "Shitbarn", in honor of the FV4005 Stage II's unofficial name.

it's like that, but microsoft has driven up the price of RAM globally by colluding with chip manufacturers and AI companies, and now have to walk that RAM requirement back because they're selling hardware that is worse in more performance specs than they were a year ago.

while we're on the subject of secrets storage, never use any of the OS or browser-integrated password/key storage features. Its the first thing that infostealers are going to smash and grab.

I'm still massively skeptical about biometric auth, especially as it relates to phone security and privacy. As in, don't use it. As in, LEO (at least in the US), can compel you to unlock your phone. As in, if you password lock it, you can tell them to eat shit.

installed php-cli and php-curl to get the proof of concept to run and this is what it spit out. I'll have a rule out for this today.

I had another siege from pirates. Occasionally enemy factions will call you and ask for protection money. My typical response is THE FUCK YOU GON' DO and hang up. They showed up 3 days later and the game kindly tells me they're going to siege us and use mortars. I cackle manically and tell four of my dudes "GET ON THE HOWITZERS. LOAD THE 155MM INCENDIARY SHELLS." Not long after, that entire portion of the map looks like hell. "The enemy has decided they will attack you directly" Bunch of stinkin ass hobos with revolvers head towards the walls manned by METAL GEAR REX, and mechanoids with machine guns rifled in .357 rounds. COME THE FUCK ON IN. MAKE MY DAY.
