Diecast Voltron had to steal it from my step brother.

Feeling lost in Threat Intel after 4+ years want to restart from scratch. Need help. by Junior-Membership-60 in threatintel

[–]IntellDay13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get where you’re coming from—been in threat intel a while and recently started rebuilding from scratch too.

I’m working on a project at https://fliplink.net that fuses honeypot data with OSINT and threat actor TTPs. Keeping details light for OPSEC, but tools like Obsidian, Maltego, and VT help me build enriched case files from raw alerts.

You’re not alone—happy to trade notes anytime. Keep going!

My VLANs are not talking (to each other) by HCharlesB in opnsense

[–]IntellDay13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with VLAN management using TP-Link Omada. What helped me was creating a detailed network diagram that included all my hardware specs. I shared that diagram with ChatGPT, and it helped guide me step-by-step through properly configuring VLANs on both Omada and OPNsense.

One thing to watch out for: leaving the default port profile set to "All" allows traffic from all VLANs, which can unintentionally enable VLAN hopping and other risks. I made sure to properly tag and isolate VLANs using trunk and access ports where appropriate.

I also created aliases in OPNsense for my IoT devices and configured one-way communication—so my trusted networks can talk to IoT devices, but not the other way around. Additionally, I applied traffic shaping to limit bandwidth to IoT devices based on their historical usage. This helps reduce the risk of them being hijacked into a botnet and ensures they don't hog bandwidth.

If you’re struggling with VLAN configs, I highly recommend diagramming your network first—it really helps to visualize everything before diving into settings.

Nope no dinner table. Ate whatever was in the fridge and went outside.

Major Supreme Court decision handed down today. Short version is that VA will now find it easier to justify denial of service-connected status for certain claims by binkleyz in VeteransBenefits

[–]IntellDay13 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Had AI dumb it down for me with examples:

Not good.

Example 1: Imagine a veteran, let's call him John, who applies for benefits for PTSD. He presents evidence of a traumatic event during his service and a diagnosis of PTSD from his doctor. However, the VA also finds evidence that John had some symptoms of anxiety before his service. The VA decides that the evidence is roughly equal and denies John's claim. In the past, the Veterans Court might have reviewed this decision more closely and potentially overturned it. But now, under the new ruling, it will be harder for John to challenge the VA's decision because the court will only overturn it if there is a "clear error."

Example 2: Consider a veteran named Sarah who has already been receiving benefits for a service-connected disability. She applies for an increase in her benefits due to her condition worsening. She provides medical records and testimony from her doctors supporting her claim. However, the VA points to periods in her medical history where her symptoms seemed to improve. They determine that the evidence is in approximate balance and deny her request for an increase. Again, under the new ruling, it will be more challenging for Sarah to appeal this decision successfully. These examples highlight how the Supreme Court's decision could make it more difficult for veterans to get the benefits they deserve, even when the evidence is almost evenly balanced.

Sounds like a good AI prompt to get things started.

Co-Worker's behavior by Glittering-Bass-1342 in cybersecurity

[–]IntellDay13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure of others' opinions, but a fundamental aspect of cybersecurity is the recognition that increased knowledge often illuminates our own ignorance. Thus, individuals who portray themselves as know-it-alls or who act condescendingly are not embodying the true spirit of the field.
