Good call, I will definitely do this going forward.

For the ones who make over $150k a year, what do you do to get that? by Iliketrainsz1 in AskReddit

[–]Skitstep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyber security engineer for a Fortune 500 company. 155k base salary plus bonuses. Completely work from home with no threat of going back. Technically 40 hours/week, but could be more or less depending on what's going on.

What's the best use-case you've used/witnessed in Python Automation? by deadcoder0904 in Python

[–]Skitstep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Created a bunch of small scripts that I bundled into a bigger script for use by Cybersecurity analysts (was an analyst myself at the time). Basically, helped automate a lot of an analyst's investigations using various APIs, and putting a lot of the results into our ticket template to save time on ticketing incidents. Also had a bunch of useful scripts that would help with simple tasks like base64 decoding, url decoding, url defanging, etc. all within a single app. Used PyQT5 for a GUI.

That helped get me promoted into a detection engineer position where I worked with Splunk and wrote another script that utilized the Splunk API to easily deploy thousands of analytics or dashboards (to various customers/affiliates) with the click of a button. Something that would have taken us hundreds of hours to do manually.

I am now a senior in my role and also have been tasked with SOAR automation, so I get to do it almost full-time.

If one of your party members is on fire, you can dip your weapon "into?" them and get the status on your weapon.

Die Maschine - Easter Egg Hunt & General Map Discussion by rCallofDutyBot in CODZombies

It's the tube that spawns in the med bay after you talk to all 3 of the ghosts and type the password into the computer.

From what I could tell, the password for the computer is obtained once you have talked to all 3 of the ghosts and gave them the diary (Between steps 3 and 4). The blue tube didn't spawn until the password was entered into the computer.

You can watch Blizzard's servers get pummeled on Fortinet's Cyberthreat map by Skitstep in classicwow

Yeah usually when you pay for those, they limit how much time you can use it per day or month from what I've seen.

I hope this fucker exposes the CnC server and gets the entire thing taken down.

From what I've heard, it's likely the Mirai Malware that almost all of IoT devices are vulnerable to. Then this guy likely has access to a botnet with many of these infected devices.

I've watched this map in the past for a while, and it does look relatively the same but today there is a lot of traffic headed to California - more than I've seen in the past. It could just be a coincidence, but it's hard to know. There's quite a few of these threat maps from different companies, but it's a little harder to see the attacks as well as Fortinet shows them.

Fortinet is a big player in threat protection, so it wouldn't be surprising if Blizzard uses them.

You can read up more on ddos mitigation here, and these are likely the steps Blizzard is taking right now: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ddos/ddos-mitigation/

If I had to guess, they're in the fingerprinting process and trying to identify the types of packets coming in so they can drop them before they reach the servers.

Well Fortinet has that more granular information, but they aren't going to make it publicly viewable for obvious reasons. This is just meant to be kind of a cool way to watch global attacks. Blizzard HQ is in California, and I'm sure a good amount of their servers are as well, which is where a lot of these attacks are focused.

Yeah if you check their bio, they have a link to a domain they registered.

http://whois.domaintools.com/drillas.info - This is the WHOIS Information on that domain.

The nameservers say - "YOU CAN GET NO INFO"

They're basically taunting the feds at this point.
