So @trailofbits released a new threat modelling framework. I really like that, as all of the old existing 'reference' frameworks are so hard to apply in a way that brings any or much value to the process. Or I'm too dumb to do it :P.

Very exciting: https://blog.trailofbits.com/2025/02/28/threat-modeling-the-trail-of-bits-way/

Threat modeling the TRAIL of Bits way

In this blog, we’ll talk about our threat modeling process, TRAIL, which stands for Threat and Risk Analysis Informed Lifecycle. TRAIL enables us to trace and document the impact of flawed trust assumptions and insecure design decisions throughout each client’s system architecture and SDLC. Over time, multiple application security experts have refined TRAIL to provide maximal value for our clients and to minimize the effort required to update the threat model as the system changes.

@plexus : interesting comparison. If I may: would you modify your analogy if we separate the addition of "stages" inside the code (e.g., adding a feature that brings great additional complexity into an existing monolithic artefact) vs. adding "stages" outside the code itself, which greatly complexifies the system's architecture/infrastructure cost of operation (e.g., moving to a K8S/Kafka infra.)?

@limp15000 : Oh yes, I can second this. Things were running somehow smoothly for a few months until three-four weeks ago. Since, CFF has issues almost (if not always) each time I took the train from/to Geneva. Delays, breakdowns, two "accidents", misinformation, carriage breakdowns, broken seats, broken ACs, broken doors, broken toilets, broken ticket shop, etc.

The thing I am still actually thankful is that, for the moment, CFF always bring me from A to B. That's a big win.

@GossiTheDog : good case of the old "with the cloud, no need to deal with backups anymore".
@GossiTheDog : got it, thank you!
@GossiTheDog : I noticed that powershell tends to return up to 1'000 events but I hadn't heard about this limitation. Do you have more information about this? If this is true, the "audit log" should never be called as such.
@sarambsimon : I came here through HN, and I had never heard of that article. thank you for sharing!
@kurtsh : that roughly translates to USD33m... wow!
Good thing your work prevented you from doing this huge "mistake" :)
