@gary_alderson I totally feel you on that. We do have on our roadmap for this year plans to tackle the upgrade issue for Malcolm and Hedgehog Linux, because I know at the moment upgrading Malcolm is somewhat painful and upgrading Hedgehog Linux is ludicrously so. Anyway, bear with us, we'll get a process worked out for it for sure in the next program year.

#DHS #CISA is big on the building community aspect of #Malcolm right now, so as part of that we'll be having our first "Malcolm Office Hours" this Thursday. The plan is to have this monthly, every third Thursday, at 12pm Eastern time for 30 minutes. Details for the office hours can be found here. We'll be figuring out what works with this as we go and adjusting the format as needed. We hope to see any of you who might be interested there!

Malcolm is a powerful, easily deployable network traffic analysis tool suite for network security monitoring.

@amunizp thank you for the suggestions

I'm doing a #parents night at a local elementary school about helping #kids stay safe online. Here's my handout with my proposed talking points. Any advice/suggestions/something I'm missing? #parenting #onlinesafety #esafety #socialmedia

• Trust and supervision
        ◦ Work with your kids, not against them, to set and keep your family’s technology rules
        ◦ Regularly review history, sites, apps, contacts and messages
        ◦ Let your kids know they can talk to you about anything they see online without fear of reprisal
        ◦ Communicate openly and often about the benefits and dangers of technology
    • Sharing safely
        ◦ Set social media profiles to private
        ◦ Only friend people you know in real life
        ◦ Don’t share personally identifiable information
        ◦ Turn geotagging off
        ◦ Understand oversharing: once it’s shared, you can’t take it back
    • Appropriate usage
        ◦ Establish schedules and time limits for screen time
        ◦ Keep screens in public locations
        ◦ Turn screens off at the table and well before bed
    • Parental controls
        ◦ Find trusted sources and learn about your options
        ◦ Familiarize yourself with parental controls for the platforms you use (Windows, Android, macOS, iPhone, etc.)
        ◦ DNS-based content filtering for your home network
    • Recognize the signs of abuse, grooming, cyberbullying and self image issues
    • Lead by example
        ◦ Keep the same rules you expect them to keep when it comes to phone-free times and places
        ◦ Spend quality time with your kids without devices
        ◦ Don’t make your kids battle your phone for your attention
