As a bonus, here's "Bad Apple", rendered as a multi-resolution Hilbert curve.

Thanks to @janamarie for the idea!

The reason the good faith seniors on here are posting that the junior / mid level market is bad (it is) is because we have watched it crash in real time and a lotta of us are dealing with serious fallout as both hiring managers or mentors.
It's genuinely a good faith warning. It's not like, "don't get into the field we love". It's just that for a really long time you could get into cybersecurity with no degree and no IT experience because the demand was so high. And schools, influencers, and parents still play it off that it's like that. That people can work full time remote and make 80k entry salary.
It's not. It hasn't been for a couple years. We've been hit by "professionalizing" and oversaturation of graduates. Can you still get in with a sec+, a kali box and a dream? Maybe, if you really meet the right people and get lucky.
Pragmatically though, that won't be the case for 99.9% of young people now, and if we care at all we need to counter the "everything is rosy" message people are using to sell boot camps. We are getting hundreds of cybersecurity grads and laid off professionals with work rights applying for positions.
How can organizations even take the time to look beyond that at hundreds more juniors with no degree, criminal convictions, a GED, needing a' v sponsor, etc?

Jerry did a nice write up on how to take on NTLM in your environment.

We've got some Very Fun updates coming out in the next little while on this front too.

I’m now officially moving from “the cloud is just someone else’s computer“ to “the cloud is just a landlord for your data”

Very poignantly put @terminaltilt

@maxleibman sure, we can stop talking about potential damage and talk about tangibles:

Last week, Gizmodo parent company G/O Media fired the staff of its Spanish-language site Gizmodo en Español and began to replace their work with AI translations of English-language articles, reports The Verge.

@stux Nice!
I guess that's a solid background to build upon :)

@stux Plenty of things to do at the cyber level. Besides the official cyber teams, I'm sure there will be numerous "resistance" groups doing cyber ops against US targets.
Time to read up on offensive security?

A competent org understands the hierarchy of controls, and that phishing tests are an abuse of administrative controls.

Actual security requires evaluating your organization's risk and then evaluating solutions to mitigate that risk against this hierarchy.

a diagram of the hierarchy of controls. Elimination is better than substitution is better than engineering is better than administrative is better than PPE.

I’m launching my “unreliable timecapsule” website that is stored in a 1.44mb floppy and running on a raspberry pi. If you feel like, leave a message to the future, as long as the floppy lives! Once it gets filled, that’s it. Check it out at floppy.loop0.sh

And be kind.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my Bigbot gave to me...

Twelve Drumbots Drumming...

Twelve Drumbots – robots in the form of little drums with banded arms and legs – half of them coloured red and half of them coloured green, marching forward. Most are joyfully playing themselves, but one is twirling its stick and looking smug about it, one has dropped its sticks and looks distraught as it reaches for them, one is playing another of the Drumbots (which doesn’t look happy about it), one has thrown a stick in the air and it's fallen down and hit it in the eye, and one is holding its sticks up and yelling triumphantly.

Op BNR vanochtend, "De VS zegt 'als jullie in Europa onze tech gebruiken, dan mogen jullie je er niet mee bemoeien, je moet het gebruiken zoals wij willen'. Iedere keer komt er weer een nieuw stapje, maar we luisteren nog niet echt. We gaan nog de hele belastingdienst overzetten op Amerikaanse platforms. Ik hoop dat we nu begrijpen dat het echt anders moet." -> volledig gesprek bnr.nl/gemist?date=24-12-2025&
