Blog.webp 2020-11-10 00:08:07 CISSPs from Around the World (lien direct) ISC2’s blog has an feature where they interview CISSPs from around the world, and I see this month they interview Javvad Malik. Its a nice interview, but nothing compared to his original piece on the benefits of being a CISSP.

Not everyone is in on the joke. Some express OUTRAGE.  “how dare you share that man's password” (it was on CNN, its out there now). Some (and these remind me of the 4D Chess MAGA people) theorize ...

Blog.webp 2017-05-20 02:12:06 SMBv1 isn\'t safe (lien direct) Long before WannaCry used a recently patched Microsoft vulnerability to exploit machines, the recommendation was to disable SMBv1. Disabling old protocols isn’t sexy.   You’re breaking things, and not introducing new features.  You’re fixing theoretical future attacks.   Perhaps the willingness to take on this challenge is a good measure of the maturity level of ...

No doubt he should have capitalized the “I”.  Most systems can handle spaces, which would ... Continue reading ‘Wanna Get Away – Generals Password’ »
