I've been in and out of information security professionally, but somehow always have related projects. Mainly working with zeek and network level detection at the moment. SDR, cycling, and climbing enthusiast.

I boost a lot. Topics range far and wide from security and "the cybers" and may include politics, food, humor, science, law, nature, art, and other sundry unsavories. I occasionally post my own projects and thoughts.

On the CrowdStrike AI layoffs:

"These were not underperformers. Many of them were relatively new hires. [...] So, AI has literally killed many jobs at CrowdStrike this week. I'm fortunate to be among the survivors, but I don't know for how long."

It's a bit surreal to be in this #LPS25 panel discussion about the future of small sats and constellations, and no one talks at all about the fact that LEO is already on the way to runaway debris at the present number of space objects. http://www.researchgate.net/publication/391093502_CRITICAL_NUMBER_OF_SPACECRAFT_IN_LOW_EARTH_ORBIT_A_NEW_ASSESSMENT_OF_THE_STABILITY_OF_THE_ORBITAL_DEBRIS_ENVIRONMENT

Free Certificate Authority Let's Encrypt has ended its email notification service that warns users of expiring certificates.

The company blamed this on rising costs.

https://letsencrypt.org/2025/06/26/expiration-notification-service-has-ended/

Expiration Notification Service Has Ended

Since its inception, Let’s Encrypt has been sending expiration notification emails to subscribers that have provided an email address to us via the ACME API. This service ended on June 4, 2025. The decision to end the service is the result of the following factors: Over the past 10 years more and more of our subscribers have been able to put reliable automation into place for certificate renewal. Providing expiration notification emails means that we have to retain millions of email addresses connected to issuance records.

What an awful alert design. Is this a silver alert? Why not put the information in the alert, rather than sending people to a bitly link rather than a seattle.gov or wa.gov one?

Alerts should explain their purpose and what the recipient should do as concisely and quickly as possible.

ProTip: When you see that a cat is preparing to jump onto your lap, DO NOT MOVE. Any movement may disrupt the complex calculations being performed by the feline's inertial navigation system, potentially causing significant launch, trajectory, and/or landing errors. Disruption of these calculations can trigger the automatic deployment of the feline's emergency grappling and braking system, which has been known to frequently cause pain, bleeding, and other damage to the landing platform.

SO DON'T MOVE!
