@RealProductGirl No need for thanks. You're always there asking about my Ramona so this is the least I can do

@nds_security Thank you so much!

Speechless today. Didn’t realize how heavy my heart was when I woke up. Apologies about not being there for the community lately. Just trying to process certain things. But you ALL always have my heart 💯

@HackingDave One other thing is sunglasses. It can help you spot trouble before it becomes a problem. Another good tactic is use reflective surfaces when walking to check your surroundings. e.g.: black cars, car windows, store windows, etc.

One thing I’ve taught my kids very well is not to stop randomly in large crowds, be on your phone while walking, never ever have your phone on speaker or listen to shorts with sound on, and to not be in the middle of traffic causing traffic issues. This is a lost art in modern day America 🤣🤣

@amazon are we for real right now? This is how you ship a hard drive with no impact protection?! Unacceptable!

@HackingDave Oh free computing on Daves dime? Thanks for the new video card bro 😂🤣 you should have been around when my mother got is thieved. Oh man was she pissed and saying some funny shit.

Someone charged a macbook pro to my account somehow - I think the kid walked into Best Buy and was able to use my phone number associated to my account and make an "online" purchase. Dumbass used his Grandma's address to ship it... I talked with the Grandma on the phone, Jeremy is not going to have a good day when Grandma talks to his parents... as well as I notified local LE 😵 Also, Best Buy's security practices are absolutely horrendous. How can someone in store use a name to credit card charge without verification. Should not be possible or have them enter CVV.

Ok @WesternDigiCare thanks for the support. I'll be replacing all your drives in our RAID/NAS with @Seagate

@WesternDigiCare What is up with your web site? EVERY SN I enter can't be found?!

@id6klub @RaminNasibov Welcome to modern technology -- it's smart enough to make you look crazy.

@nds_security @RaminNasibov I don't know how 3 whole words got erased/left out (I wrote "unless *you *go wild *with graphics")

genius

@id6klub @RaminNasibov You went a new twisted dimension completely. I like it lol. A shirt describing physical security.

@nds_security @RaminNasibov Unless you wild graphics to depict her during the act at the button holes, it would be a John Wayne Bobbitt shirt, not Lorena.

I remember I was told when I was a contractor I needed work related tools on my phone. My question was simple. "If I get hacked and it affects the network because it's not a business phone, who is responsible?" They said me. When I asked "If you get hacked and it bleeds into my phone and it affects me are you paying me?" "NOPE!" and the answer was clear, kick rocks. I'm with you on this one.

I’ve always told friends not to do this and they’re always shocked that I won’t.

@cinamarina Bringing back an old social engineering tool but at the moment a custom CRM.

What are you building guys? Let’s connect 💁🏻‍♀️

@madsf88 Is it getting that bad in the city?!

how is there no good coworking cafe open past 5pm in nyc

@Mail_Gun Everything is back to normal.

@nds_security Hello, are you able to provide us with the ticket number for our Support team to review? Thanks!

@Mail_Gun I need some support here...

@Mail_Gun I would love to, however your @Cloudflare is blocking and I don't have any IPs on their block list... so...

@blackroomsec It's embodying Kevin Mitnick, it doesn't have the codes. It will whistle the tones.

😂 This did not happen, mostly because they use a shit ton of air gapped systems. Lateral movement is not possible, BY DESIGN. Meaning it is literally designed so that the claim in this screenshot, makes it very unlikely to happen. READ THIS NEXT PART CAREFULLY, PLEASE to understand exactly what I am saying here. This is not a Stuxnet scenario. Which involved other humans by the way. The centrifuges did not infect themselves. There have been hackers who have breached air gapped systems in various ways and I'm not going to discuss them here, the papers are available on the Defcon servers if you would like to read them, but I highly doubt those at the NSA set up the environment in such a way to make that possible. The NSA itself is also very good at breaching air gapped systems, but the various techniques almost always involve other humans, not distributed machines. Meaning, without a human transporting the malware or payload via USB to that air gapped machine, it is not otherwise possible. I seriously do not think that they temporarily changed their entire network architecture, which would have taken several months, to make all these air gapped systems non-air-gapped nor do I think that they transferred Mythos directly to these systems as they probably are not equipped to be running LLMs, either. So the more likely scenario is that Mythos made a payload which NSA staff then ran on those air gapped systems. That does not mean Mythos breached the air gapped system, it just means that it suggested the likely attack vector path but without a human involved, it would not be possible. Also, seriously, consider the source, or in this case, the second and third hand source. See: AIRGAP SIDTODAY (from the Snowden archive) OUTPARKS CNSS directives (dozens) they publish NSA cyber security guidance and hardening best practices For an understanding of NSA architecture as it has been leaked and publicized in places like the Intercept. Lastly, why would one of our chief spy agencies show their cards like this? This is just common sense and logic. Let's all see what pet projects the Senator is interested in and how Mythos being capable of doing these miraculous things scare the hell out of enough people in DC to enable those pet projects checks to be funded. Because that's the real story. Not this fantasy.

@aylacroft PHLAK

Underrated Linux distros I need to check out, please provide.

@HackingDave Kevin Mitnick in AI form.

Sooooo Mythos is basically gpt 5.5 but it was so dangerous it could create an apocalypse with nuclear weapons and rip through computer systems as we know it today 🤔

I've caused so many kernel panics during this journey I'm surprised Linux isn't on an anti-anxiety medication right now lol. Eventually I'll be demonstrating the system's outcomes and how it protects modern Linux environments. What I'm building is more than a single tool, it's an ecosystem of security components designed to improve the resilience and protection of Linux systems.

This is a great perspective and very thoughtful. I understand all aspects of what you wrote especially the kernel level comment because you are not just talking philosophy you are living this tradeoff in one of the most unforgiving environments in software. No room for sloppy outcomes and no room for craft that never ships. I really appreciate you adding this having a security background changes the perspective 100%.

Are you an outcome driven builder? For example, do you want to solve a problem, build a business, create value, and get results. Or are you more interested in the craft itself? Writing code, design designing systems, debating architecture, and solving difficult problems. My thoughts: I don’t think these perspectives are mutually exclusive. The outcome matters, but so does the journey for many builders. Curious everyone's thoughts and which one you prefer...
