@Bluewall Sorry didn't see the follow up, the way it's written - in my SOC I would allow either and expect you to find ways of having visibility to both.

@Bluewall And here is where academics and the real world differ. Does a DDOS impact the availability of the data - yes but only thru the one service being targeted. If this is a multiple choice test - the correct one is ransomware as that directly targets the availability of data no matter which service is trying to use it. Think of it this way, a DDOS (of Service) could lock up your web server so that clients couldn't authenticate, get to their data. But an engineer on the back end could still query the database and see the data. While if ransomware encrypts the database - no one can get to the data.

@defendopsdiaries Very unlikely. While a major blow was struck like any time a major blow to a service that is in demand - other's find ways to pick up and get paid for providing said service.

@hacks4pancakes we just did the same and failed after one room

@djsundog or because we wanted those warez, rims, and music without caring who gave it to us.

@accidentalciso totally. Or just a fluff episode

@SheHacksPurple great book. Fun book. Easy to follow and easier to relay to others.

@gsuberland yes please!
