Pom in Oz, I stare at firewall logs for a living. Recently promoted to senior tech, still don't know what I'm doing so faking it until I make it. Outside of work: computer games, scuba diving, martial arts and natural movement.
@da_667@infosec.exchange @patcharcana@furry.engineer cheers, I couldn't remember the details but I knew someone who would ♥️
@cR0w@infosec.exchange @Viss@mastodon.social rough edges? Yeah, later versions are better but not littlesnitch great.
Today's entry from the lunacy files:
ASD suggests blocking Windows phone and Linux in your Azure conditional access policies.
An unnamed entity didn't look at their sign in logs and nearly stopped their vulnerability management platform from accessing resources in Azure. 🤦 ![]()
Very occasionally I come out with a phrase that on later reflection is a "banger"
The most recent example was a junior engineer upset at making a mistake (understandable) and my reply was "I promise you that I have made way more, and bigger, mistakes than you have" said in an open office within earshot of the rest of the team. And in doing that trying to normalise that occasional mistakes are okay and even expected.
While is true that I likely wouldn't have made the same mistake another phrase, that I didn't invent, comes to mind: "experience is something you get after you need it". I've had 25 years worth of mistakes, my junior only has a handful.
Hopefully my junior felt a little better about not being 100% perfect (i.e. Human)
@patcharcana@furry.engineer easy 🤣
I say this as the user of a suitable rule to catch $external_phishing_vendor emails
@da_667@infosec.exchange occasionally posts a rant that includes detection methods
Apologies for the vagueness of this post, why should become obvious.
So there's a place that uses 802.1x to enhance security (which is a good thing!), and last night some work was carried out on it.
It is now more than 12 hours after the change and end user devices still aren't connecting to the network after the work was completed.
I am guessing that the business continuity plans are going to be exercised/updated...
