Good Morning wonderful world! Time to get a coffee, pain au chocolate, gear up then hit the slopes! (honestly it's well early, think the lifts don't open till 0900 LOL) Just checked a few work systems, the world isn’t ending! Let’s hope this week remains ⛵️ ❤️❄️🏂🇫🇷

Having been in consulting all my life, this is exactly the kind of issues I was telling my team clients need help with. Give them what they say they want, what they really want and what they actually need. They’re all at the “this doesn’t work” stage. #PEBKAC

Alright interns, we need to have some real talk here I am tired of vibing on stream. I dont really like vibe coding unless its a tool i have no desire to build (how i manage things on my stream / how i write my youtube videos are great examples of things i would never build but i have). I dont like vibing the things i care about. I hate the code it generates, i hate the feeling of getting everything i ask for and nothing i want. I hate the subtle offness around vibe coded things. It is just driving me nuts. So for the next while i am going to be done vibing on stream. I genuinely have been trying my hardest to make this work and i cannot quite put a finger on why i hate it, but i do. And i just feel so horribly guilty and wrong because i am not getting the results of "everyone else on twitter." How am i, someone who prides themselves on making youtube videos that i think are actually good for people. To make videos that help people laugh at the silliness of tech or learn something new. But here i am not able to keep up with all these people claiming the sky is literally coming down. I just feel horrible and guilty about it. Now i know the world is changing fast, and i want to be able to understand that change super well, be able to talk about it, be able to give really accurate opinions about it so for the last 3 months i have vibe coded an absurd amount of things. But now... i am just tired of it. I dont want this any more. I want to be a tradcoder. I dont know why i told everyone this, but i just have this growing sickness that is just eating me alive around vibing and i dont know how to express it. You all are fired, CEO ThePrimeagen

Last quarter I rolled out our "Public WiFi & Charging Protection Initiative" to 8,000 employees. $45 per user per month for premium VPN + "secure charging kits" (just USB data blockers with our logo). $4.3 million annually. I branded it "zero-trust mobility transformation." The board ate it up in nine minutes. No one asked for evidence of actual attacks. Including me. I told everyone it would prevent "catastrophic data exfiltration" from juice jacking and evil twin hotspots. "Catastrophic" isn't quantifiable. But it sounds expensive. Legal asked how we'd measure prevented breaches. I said "threat intelligence telemetry feeds" and "risk reduction scoring." They nodded and moved on. Three months in, I pulled the endpoint logs. 14 people enabled the VPN more than twice. 3 used the data blocker (one was testing if it blocked his own charger at home). I used the VPN once—to bypass a hotel captive portal so I could watch Netflix. Took longer to connect than the video buffer. But I called it a "resilient pilot phase." Resilient means no headlines about us getting owned. Yet. The CISO asked about ROI. I showed him a dashboard. The line trended up and to the right. It tracked "avoided compromise events." I derived the number by estimating how many employees travel × industry breach averages × a fear multiplier I pulled from a 2019 FBI tweet about juice jacking. He approved next year's budget increase. We're now "posture hardened" against public infrastructure threats. It's in the quarterly investor update. A field sales rep asked why we didn't just tell people to use cellular data and portable batteries. I said we needed "enterprise-managed controls" and "audit-ready compliance artifacts." He asked what specific juice jacking incidents we'd seen in our org. I said "the absence of incidents proves the controls work." He raised an eyebrow. I added "proactive risk avoidance" to his performance objectives. He stopped asking. Our vendor sent a success story request. I told them we'd "neutralized 120,000 potential juice-jacking vectors" and "blocked 47 man-in-the-middle attempts." I got those by multiplying travel days by hypothetical attack probability from a 2023 FCC recycled advisory. They didn't ask for logs. They never do. Now we're featured in their marketing deck. "Fortune 500 enterprise achieves enterprise-grade protection from public charging and WiFi threats." The CEO reposted it on LinkedIn. 4,200 likes. He's never plugged into an airport USB in his life. Execs have a policy exemption. "Executive mobility requires unencumbered connectivity." I drafted that one too. The subscriptions renew next month. I'm pitching expansion. 15,000 more licenses + "advanced threat simulation training" (a 30-minute video no one finishes). Adoption will be mandatory. Mandatory means tracked completions. Completions are metrics. Metrics feed the dashboard. Dashboard fuels board decks. Board decks get me the CISO promotion by Q2. I still don't know if anyone's actually juice-jacked anyone in the wild. But I know what the program is for. It's for showing we're "proactively defending against emerging physical-digital threats." Proactive means spending. Spending means vigilance. Vigilance means we're serious about security. Security is whatever keeps the fear alive. As long as the graph goes up and to the right. (inspired by @gothburz - enabled by AI) #Security #FUD

@AlexTran677026 The Italian (original) version of the song is full of double meanings with sexual references. Can look all straight till you’re in puberty…. Then it hits you.

During the wedding scene of The Godfather (1972), an elderly man takes the microphone and begins to sing a traditional Neapolitan song. This is Gennaro Amato, a renowned Neapolitan comic performer who was one of the great figures of Italian-American stage and recording culture in early 20th-century New York.⁣ ⁣ The piece he performs is “C’è la luna mezzo mare” or “There’s a Moon in the Middle of the Sea”, a classic Sicilian wedding song. The song is full of meanings and humor. It’s an old folk tune about a mother and daughter discussing possible suitors.⁣ ⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘢, 𝘮𝘢𝘮𝘢, 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥,⁣ 𝘔𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰?

Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents. He is a genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very smart agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people. We expect this will quickly become core to our product offerings. OpenClaw will live in a foundation as an open source project that OpenAI will continue to support. The future is going to be extremely multi-agent and it's important to us to support open source as part of that.

@kevmarriott @ImtiazMadmood This looks like social media was already available on mobile phones. Try mentioning something totally new in a casual conversation and never again in any place. After a few, you’ll get ads somehow related to that something…

@ImtiazMadmood Reminds me of the Apollo - Soyuz era. American astronauts were training with Russian cosmonauts in Star City. The Americans were accompanied by their wives on the trip one of the said wives commented on the lack of clothes hangers in their room within minutes a supply arrived.

Three friends are in a hotel room in Soviet Russia. Two friends drink vodka and loudly tell political jokes in their hotel room. The third, exhausted, tries to sleep but cannot. Frustrated, he goes downstairs for a smoke. On the way, he asks the receptionist to bring tea to room 39 in five minutes. Returning upstairs, he joins them briefly, then leans toward a power outlet and says, “Comrade lieutenant, please send tea to room 39.” His friends burst into laughter at the joke. Moments later, a knock sounds… and the receptionist arrives with a teapot. The laughter dies; his friends turn pale and silent. The evening ends abruptly, and the tired man finally sleeps. In the morning, he wakes to find his friends gone. Alarmed, he asks the receptionist what happened. She whispers nervously, “The KGB came before dawn and took them.” Horrified, he asks why he was spared. “Comrade lieutenant really liked your tea joke.”

@niyo17417 Had exactly that car. I can confirm it works like that. I’ve been more than once the only one moving after a sudden snow. Audi quattro can’t be beaten.

The Silent SMS is one of the creepiest surveillance tricks nobody talks about. No sound or popup. Not even a message. Your phone simply gets a hidden ping.. and it quietly replies. That reply forces your phone to talk to the nearest cell tower, updates your real-time location, and confirms you’re active. Law enforcement has used it for years. And NO you can’t stop it. 💀

Our "Cyber Threat Intelligence" Discord is temporarily down. If any of you recall, I made a simple bot which collected news from various RSS feeds and pushed it to a Discord server for people to watch. Unfortunately, this bot was being hosted on critical infrastructure (a Raspberry Pi) which was housed in Europe. This in of itself isn't a problem, except the person who was housing it for me messed up his immigration paperwork and got (temporarily) deported. It turns out if you're a United States citizen, temporarily residing somewhere in Europe, and you make a small oopsie on paperwork they kick you out the country for 90 days, but let you return after and stay for a few years (???). I don't understand immigration. I'm not educated in immigration law. His papers and reasoning for residing in Europe are completely legitimate. Barring them for 90 days because of a simple mistake but allowing them to return confuses my little brain. Anyway, they kicked him out for 90 days. All his stuff is still there. Our critical infrastructure is in his apartment. Once he is allowed to return it will come back online. Chat, we've been DEPORTED.

@0xTib3rius @techspence If you add exceptions you’re literally telling them “your external layer is so secure, there’s no need to test it”. But is this the truth? Ah wait, you don’t know. You have exceptions….

@copfromdrop @techspence I'm literally a pentester. I've worked at several pentesting companies, most of which sell pentesting as I described it. Vulnerability assessment is usually highly automated, just scanning. Pentesting is more manual.

For internal pentests, we don’t ask nor do we want you to turn off security for us. That means EDR is installed and enabled and SOCs are not notified ahead of time. That’s not how everyone does it or thinks it should be done, just how we do it.

@0xTib3rius @techspence You’re describing vulnerability assessment, not pentesting. If you can’t breach, it’s either security is good or you’re not. Either case, next step is “assume compromise” and this gives a lot of info to your client. That said, it usually depends on rules of engagement and price

I think there's merit in both ways. All depends on what the customer wants to know. A lot of web app pentests would just become WAF tests if we didn't ask customers to add exceptions for us. I know that's different to internal testing, where you aren't necessarily completely blocked if you are detected. I've found a hybrid model works, where you do 80-90% of the test with security turned off, then on the last day you turn it back on and re=run the things that worked, see if you get detected / blocked. Best of both worlds. Customer knows where their vulnerabilities lie, but also which fixes they need to prioritize based on what is being detected.
