U.S. Cyber Command capabilities have now been used in both the Caracas Venezuela raid to capture Maduro *and* Operation Midnight Hammer’s targeted strikes in Iranian nuclear facilities. You can now know this because it has been intentionally disclosed in both instances.

@HackingLZ I don't know anyone who has said they are "sophisticated nation state." Synthetic myths.

@mdgrkb 😬

@ItsReallyNick There's space in the gaming division.

ordered this over the phone today but still trying to figure out where to put it

@dhof looks cool! casual games in need of some new life

excited to share a new toy called bash. it’s a multiplayer coding agent with social built around it starting with invites and a waitlist, and we’ll open it up as quickly as possible bash.tv

@HackingLZ @st8less @Ubiquiti … knowing that my hand-computer can’t even auto-correct 😬

@HackingLZ @st8less @Ubiquiti trusting our big corportations’ car-computers & cameras get us back to our home-computers & cameras, like true security pros 😅

I need to get @Ubiquiti to send me of these for science

Oh nice that looks cool. I didn’t consider GL.iNet but… I have dealt with enough compromised ones / covert networks (real talk). I went with UniFi Travel Router based on security review & nice integration – mainly ease of rolling with a G4 video camera. Great for hotel travel or on the RV with Starlink, etc Overheating hasn’t been an issue but I have only run for a few days at a time, and always in A/C so I haven’t pushed it. I also use a 5V/2A (10W) power supply – haven’t tried powering it from a battery yet For fun you could run yours with UniFis USB-C cable with power display to see if yours is dropping power to cool, I thought it pulls 1-3W variably store.ui.com/us/en/products…

@ItsReallyNick @HackingLZ @st8less @Ubiquiti How do you like the Travel Router so far? My experience has been mixed. The compact form factor is excellent, but the resulting limitations in cooling (=overheating), as well as the limited processing and Wi-Fi performance, are making me consider switching to a GL.iNet Beryl 7.

@JohnHultquist @HackingLZ @st8less @Ubiquiti Yessir! 🫡 Went through a travel concierge that booked with a bunch of local services in-country which was a great experience, but not sure how much it advertised our plans

@ItsReallyNick @HackingLZ @st8less @Ubiquiti Evil maid setup?

@heybr0_exe @HackingLZ @Ubiquiti what is this wizardry? Didn’t even look at the enhancers… store.ui.com/us/en/products…

@HackingLZ @Ubiquiti When @Ubiquiti sends you that camera, do yourself a favor and grab the enhancer too. It’s the cat’s pajamas.

@HackingLZ @st8less @Ubiquiti Just recently converted to UniFi for everything. Using the Travel Router in Europe w/ G4 instant in hotel rooms was magic

I rolled G6 instant and G4 for some internal spots I didn’t need resolution. I think it’s time to add a proper Network Video Recorder, any tips? Right now I’m running off of the UDR7 and several U7 mesh units. It’s been great for not having cable run, but the cameras I really need to get NVR & drop some cables in

tallying up the par 5

@4nx1ou5 @ImposeCost For sure. I didn’t intend to suggest in the government scenario (but especially the corporate one) that all compliance is healthy

@ItsReallyNick @ImposeCost I get what you mean, but in my experience being aligned to corporate priorities often just meant being the one willing to take the most abuse and keep the place from falling apart 😓 Doesn’t help that the infosec talent pool is virtually non-existent 🤐 Just venting sorry lmao 😆

The government wants you to have kids and to buy homes. I also suspect government needs to eventually figure out how to pivot away from social security?

Look… I get it I was worried about posting my github.com/secdev02/EasyT… But here’s the deal. It took me, 1.5-2 hours to build. The new thing… here is the “Request device code on landing, copy to clipboard “ We called it “demo tokens” when I was working with @_JohnHammond and @gleeda But you need to understand these things. Detonate them, see the logs I’d rather you have this to test the effectiveness of your defense, than to imagine you are safe and your defenses are working. Carry on.

If you’re feeling the pain at tax time, it’s probably a sign that you aren’t doing what the government wants you to be doing. Fwiw, I find the same applies at work. If two people have the same employer, one is thriving and one is experiencing chaos & conflict. I can’t tell you who is the more talented worker, but I can tell you who is aligned to corporate priorities.

iirc “social engineering” originally referred to shaping society by incentivizing or penalizing certain activity – tax code is the clearest form of that: they want you to have kids, own homes, start businesses, employ your family, and support charitable causes I don’t love the implications that has on personal freedom in general - and things fall apart with taxing work/productivity - but the core tax code credits above seem to be objectively for the collective good

Just got back from hiking around Europe with the kids for the last 10 days during the heat wave. Near record high temps most days in each city. But now I’m safely back in America in a properly-chilled room staring at my computer like god intended.
