⚡️ Einsatzkräfte am Flughafen Frankfurt haben heute eine verdächtige Sendung aus einem schottischen Internat namens Hogwarts entdeckt.

🧙‍♂️ Brisant: Unter der Ladung befanden sich Tarnumhänge, die als "Gardinen aus dem 11. Jahrhundert" deklariert waren.

🤔 Der Warenwert konnte mangels Sichtbarkeit nicht geschätzt werden.

🤝 Die weiteren Ermittlungen erfolgen, koordiniert von unserem Zollverbindungsbeamten in London, in Abstimmung mit den Kolleginnen und Kollegen im dortigen Zaubereiministerium.

Vectorizing this was an amazing adventure that I would love to never do again!

... off to the next illustration.

How many boxes of these Thin Mints do I need to eat before I start seeing results?

I met @chad at FediCon last year.

We discussed many topics, he is a really stand up guy who spent time during the pandemic to deliver much needed refreshments to doctors and nurses on the frontline.

His work in IT/tech helped launch Mastodon Canada, and he's done a lot of selfless work to improve the fediverse.

Now, why would someone with an IT background think they can get away with those accusations?

Innocent until proven guilty is fundamental to our justice system.

He needs our support ❤️

In today's episode of "Can It Run Doom": DNS fucking TXT records.

Some absolute madlad (cough Adam Rice cough) compressed the entire shareware DOOM WAD, split it into around 1,964 chunks, shoved them into Cloudflare TXT records, and wrote a PowerShell script that reassembles and runs the whole goddamn game from DNS queries alone. Nothing touches disk. The DLLs are in DNS. THE FUCKING DLLS ARE IN DNS.

RFC 1035 was written in 1987. Those engineers are spinning in their graves fast enough to generate municipal power.

Bonus: this is a fully functional globally-distributed covert data exfil channel that your NGFW will never fucking see if you're not doing deep DNS inspection. Sleep well.

Also lmao @ every blue team that has never once looked at their DNS query volume. How's that DLP policy working out for you.

It was always DNS.

@rmcretro look at this :-)
