A brief break from my break ... This is really important for #digitalforensics #dfir in the #UK please take a look ... linkedin.com/posts/simonbil…

Happy New Year Everyone ! I'll be taking a break from X for the foreseeable - not deleting the account, but simply stepping away from it & the app for now. Wishing you all the best !

With every analyst-supporting tool, there's a concept of TTE, or "Time to Excel." That's how long it takes for an analyst to dump the data to CSV and analyze it in Excel rather than the tool they started in.

Quite a few queries from yesterday’s post about how you can help a Police Officer, if they’re being assaulted? 👀 Ok so first off I don’t think it’s a daft question at all. 🤷🏼‍♂️ When you join the Police and go to training school, you learn a *lot* of legislation. 📚 Some of the most important pieces are around use of force. 👊🏻 So let’s start at the top and I’m not going to quote legislation because you won’t remember it, I’ll try and break it down so it makes sense and is applicable in the real world: 🧍‍♀️👮🏽‍♂️- Common Law, is based on case law, where the amount of force used to defend yourself or someone else has been found by Judges to be reasonable. Essentially if you see a Police Officer trying to keep hold of a shop lifter and the shop lifter punched the Police Officer, you intervened and helped the Police Officer that would no doubt be deemed to be reasonable. If however you intervened, helped the Police Officer and then continuously assaulted the shop lifter who was no longer assaulting the Police Officer or you, that would most likely be unreasonable. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🏃- Section 3 of the Criminal Law Act 1967 - You’re walking home and from behind you hear “Stop him, he’s got my purse!” - A man runs passed you holding a purse and you give chase. You’re faster than the thief and you managed to not just catch up, but rugby tackle him to the floor and hold him down until the Police arrive. Essentially you quite rightly believe an offence has taken place and you’ve identified the suspect and can catch and detain him using reasonable and necessary force, so you’re on to a winner. Once again, if you were to assault the suspect once they were detained and no longer resisting, that would be deemed as unreasonable. But, holding on to them so that they cannot escape would still be reasonable. An important distinction. ✅ These are the main two powers you can use to help a Cop or someone else, but there are others. 👀 For example, Article 2 of the Human Rights Act, is the right to life. So if you do something to save someone’s life, whilst most likely you would be using Common Law, it would also qualify as upholding this article of the HRA. 🤓 Police Officers use these powers alongside many others every day and are well versed in the nuances, but as a member of the public, if you see someone in trouble and decide to help, it will most likely fall into one of those categories. 🫡 #ThinBlueLine 🚨

@mccartydan @Tunde_OD Nicely done ! I agree - it's a great & honest shot - the reframe is best.

@Tunde_OD it’s actually not bad with the bottle, just a different crop to put the focus where it needs to be.

Can the photoshop legends help take out the plastic bottle🙏🏾

Now this is why I read Twitter, enough of those other a**hats. Real questions, real answers. And not a bit of hate for having a different view. Thanks Dan !

If you haven't registered to vote you've got one more day in which to do so.

Do you remember when you joined X? X just reminded me that I've been in this dystopian hellscape for 15 years ... #MyXAnniversary

@Plusnet given you never talk to me, I'm wondering if we should break up ?

Hey @Plusnet are you ignoring me, or don't you know what happened ?

Hey @plusnet - any chance of a technical explanation of what happened yesterday as opposed to the canned response ? ( I see the same text to multiple customers, just changing the name ... ) Some clarity as to why we were left in the dark would be nice.

@Plusnet ?

@Identatron @Plusnet Seems like it, doesn't it ?

@si_biles @Plusnet

@SPCoulson @bt_uk @EE @Plusnet Same service & script-kiddy probing level as always here. No noticeable issues or apparent DDoS ...

Hmm internet connection goes down. Looks at log files. DoS(Port Scanning). I wonder if anyone else on the @bt_uk wider network is having issues? E.g. @EE or @Plusnet ?

Might want to wait a day before ordering :) I'll have a much lower price set to last a few days.

@DanielGDresner I can't say I'm surprised ... I used to appear in Google searches before her ...

NO CHEATING. Type your name in the GIF bar and see what comes up. 🙈

@Identatron I can't wait either !!

@Identatron This scenario is epic - and the voice "talent" is amazing !

Spent a few hours making the next set of gamified content for Operation Teapot Tempest! Adobe Premier Pro is both stressful and amazing. Love the outputs though and can't wait to run the course with @si_biles

@Identatron @SamRaincock I've got a rather old Garmin one, but to be honest, I don't find the whole smart watch thing that useful beyond initial geek joy. And my mechanical skeleton watch fulfills that more :-P

@SamRaincock @si_biles Thank you! I've yet to find one I can wear consistently. Maybe I'm just not a watch person. Perhaps I may need to try a few on

I’ve been out digging and weeding and my watch has recorded a full workout 🤣

@Identatron @SamRaincock

@SamRaincock How deep were you digging?? 😂 @si_biles and I are available if you need help
