Pending new management at Twitter, this is my last tweet. Follow me on Mastodon: @hackerfactor@noc.social

@elonmusk By "all-time high", are you talking about drugs? Or are you holding the usage graph upside down?

Let that sink in …

And … we just hit another all-time high in Twitter usage lol

@rafigh_nabob @thedarktangent @TribeOfHackers @NathanMcNulty @jaysonstreet @LitMoose @hdmoore This is going to be my new way to address @thedarktangent and other security professionals: "Hey jeff what’s up? We really need a cyber attack bro"

Given #Twitter in its current state, if @elonmusk wanted to sell, how much would you be willing to pay to own #Twitter?

While I'll keep this twitter account (as long as it is free), I've moved most of my activity and updates to mastodon: @hackerfactor@noc.social

101 = odd parity "I am Elon Musk" = odd parody

@elonmusk Just to be clear: You overpaid $44B so you could run a political ad. Moreover, you didn't run the ad until most of the viewers had already left AND the ad sponsor (you) had lost all credibility. #fail

Due to the ongoing (mental) instability and increasing untrustworthiness on Twitter, I've removed the direct posting links to Twitter from FotoForensics.

@elonmusk Why is your trending tweets system promoting a hashtag that is associated with child pornography? Does @twitter still have someone who can report these to NCMEC?

@Pin__Terest Rack mounted. All power and external network come from ceiling drops. So, yeah, big power cables are separate from in-rack network cables.

@hackerfactor Awesome! I’m guessing, you probably carefully route the cables along the walls / surfaces. I’m old school. I’m still don’t place power cables near data cables. I know they’re shielded, but still. Also, no loops to preclude induction. I suppose I’m showing my age.

Just spend a few hours trying to figure out why the router wasn't opening for test service. Turns out, I was trying to configure the wrong router. (Doh!) Time to start up the label maker!

@Pin__Terest I also label power cables, for the same reason.

@Pin__Terest Each tag has the HW server name (not hostname) and the network name. This way, I can easily see that every cable in a hub is on the same network AND which machine it at the other end.

@Pin__Terest I ended up going to the machine room and tracing cables. That's when I realized that I was configuring router #7 and tracing the cable to router #9. Router #9 was unlabeled (not anymore!) I use my laser cutter to make custom tags on every cable end, so tracing was easy.

@hackerfactor Oh yes. Colored sharpies, colored tape, & labels are your friends. For equip that travels, I’ve marked my cables & corresponding ports, so I can assemble and disassemble, and know I have all the pieces. 1 goes to 1, 2 goes to 2, etc. It works great when I’m tired.

@campuscodi Honest question: Here's what I don't get. They KNOW they are going to get kicked off of cloudflare, digital ocean, google, aws, azure, etc., so why do they always start there?

Long ago, a little kid asked that I did. I told him computer security research. He asked what that meant, and I replied "I make grown ups cry." He totally got it.

@mekarpeles @Twitter How soon before IA announces their net neutral social network?

Over the next year(s), as @Twitter (a once strong advocate of #netneutrality) is pressured to pursue new levels monetization, I think we may see many new issues unfold -- not just around free speech, but who gets equitable access to it.

I eagerly await your response.

My friend is concerned about security on Twitter, so this encrypted message is for him: DTCavdVkJjydPD8735zs 9u3Xhr28HeI92sWLjlZj kkIjypU5l5aGFf5F3pkj 0vgzZs5nqWADNgGYT4Co bvGBi3571TRolRNyvxs2 CzplcMAmVnRGByFTEwWI aAOpDIWdA1mgXRIgxPOL 1A5H8P64LK2aYPO6HXbW SBLGGfioiazvOUPR9jyG
