Sometimes security implementations look fool proof. And by that I mean proof that fools exist.

@BenThePCGuy @Microsoft NTLM has been the gift that keeps on giving to the cybersecurity industry.

A debate is raging on my team: What's the best product @microsoft has ever made?

How long will it take a group of ex-Twitter SMEs to build a rearchitected Twitter 2.0 without the legacy cruft and kludges? They'd put those lessons learned and 3-month severances to profitable use. (If only active user audiences grew as fast.)

Confirming I am @danphilpott on the infosec.exchange Mastodon server.

@SecurityTrybe Old data. Running hashcat on an RTX 4090 x8 CUDA rig can crack any 8-character password hash in 48 minutes, not 8 hours, according to benchmarks from @Chick3nman512 as reported by @tomshardware tomshardware.com/news/rtx-4090-…

I can't stop watching @elonmusk implode. It's horrifying, but oddly compelling.

@tcannoy Fair point. Visas in particular. Talent may stick around for health insurance, but that'd only last until they found another position.

@danphilpott Health insurance. Visas.

Can you help me understand why any talented Twitter staff, who could have other prospects, would stay on the job? I mean it's not like there is equity or an IPO to anchor them.

@elonmusk It's almost like people can't stop watching this slow-motion corporate crash.

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

@corg_e Maybe turn it over to the local police along with an explanation of how it had been used and how it came to be on your property? Gets it off your hands and documents its misuse officially.

@alicegoldfuss Makes me sad the early Twitter alternatives didn't gain traction.

@notshenetworks I think it's a red flag on the veracity of that user.

What the f is this 🤨

A useful imperial measurements guide for the kitchen, the highest quality image of it I could find.

Looks like Britain's embracing a Zero Truss architecture

@AccidentalCISO You can't be an obsessive tab closer if you aren't an obsessive tab opener.

Confession: I'm an obsessive tab closer. Single use ephemeral tabs are where it's at. I will not be taking questions at this time.

In 80% of meetings, there is an inverse relationship between the number of people in the meeting and the effectiveness of the meeting.

My new favorite measure of time is the yoctosecond. If I could just work in a spacetime where I had one second per normal spacetime yoctosecond I'd have time enough to do all my work.

@edwardmccabe Gastroenterologists and plumbers work on tubes and pipes separated by the porcelain throne demarc.

Just because folks are in the #IT field doesn't mean they automagically "know" #infosec. It's like saying a plumber and a gastroenterologist have the same skills and capabilities because they both work with tubes and pipes.

@DeathwishDuck Probably a question only @RealRonHoward could answer as he's worked with all three.

In a celebrity nice-off, who would win: Andy Griffith, Tom Hanks, or Keanu Reeves?
