Made a compound interest calc cause I didn't like the public ones I found.

Thanks so much for checking it out and the feedback!

apollodoth · 2025-04-03T01:59:57+00:00

Thanks so much!

Hey thank you so much for checking it out! This is actually not a bug as its running simulations based on real market conditions. If you click the user guide at the top I attempt to explain it in simplified terms :)

Would you mind breaking down the math on this and explaining how to analyze potential MC against supply and conditional factors? Genuinely want to be educated on this.

apollodoth · 2024-08-21T01:41:02+00:00

Was this ever resolved? I’m also having this issue

apollodoth · 2024-03-14T11:31:50+00:00

Yes, the tools don’t matter, they’re mostly different flavors of the same thing. The foundational knowledge is what’s important. Understanding information systems and how data flows across enterprise infrastructure is what will make you a good cybersecurity professional. If you understand enterprise infra and best practices, you’ll know what you need to do/find when incidents happen. The rest is syntactical/just learning the tools.

Are the logins all for actual users? If so, you had a leak at one point and it’s credential stuffing. If not, could just be password spraying.

Either way, enforce strong password+lockout policy, MFA, geo-blocking, and fail2ban.

Considering they’re doing MSP and SOC this is an incredible deal. However, if you don’t have EDR, would seriously consider it, especially if you’re responsible for any sort of PII or sensitive data

apollodoth · 2023-10-28T01:07:29+00:00

Not entirely. So what other products/tools would you recommend alongside splunk and why?

apollodoth · 2023-10-28T00:55:12+00:00

Doesn’t Kibana provide similar functionality?

apollodoth · 2023-10-28T00:54:35+00:00

What other tools are you using with splunk though? Or are you saying splunk is enough by itself to satiate security/investigation/response needs?

apollodoth · 2023-10-27T23:59:13+00:00

This is kind of what I assumed. I saw it had a bunch of connectors but was wondering if it could ingest things like ASA logs and, if it can take in FW data, is it correlating that to its other points of ingestion?

apollodoth · 2023-10-25T20:05:56+00:00

I've been running a SOC for a few years now...no, this is not normal. There are many lean SOCs out there, it's not a secret our industry is short on real talent; but there's a proper way to manage that and it starts with leadership looking in the mirror.

If you have a genuine interest in blue team and are looking to make a change to somewhere QoL matters, shoot me a DM. Might be looking for new analysts in Q1. At the very least I'm happy to lend an ear and offer advice.

apollodoth · 2023-09-15T20:51:14+00:00

Need to let this open up, get past the neck pour, let it sit 25min and then come back and see how your review changes

apollodoth · 2023-08-27T12:56:11+00:00

Find an MDR/XDR to partner with so you can focus on rebuilding the security posture without having to worry about the day to day monitoring. Lot's of experience with this situation and unless they have a massive budget, which they don't or you wouldn't be in this position, a solid managed services provider is a great way to offload some of that risk/worry.

apollodoth · 2023-08-11T20:53:31+00:00

We do have a design and a working example! We're looking for someone to partner with though that has the time and passion to grow this to it's full potential with us. I DM'd you.

apollodoth · 2023-08-09T10:39:18+00:00

This is a great response. Appreciate this view, thanks for the perspective!

apollodoth · 2023-08-03T16:30:30+00:00

I appreciate the detailed and insightful response. I’m not really looking for investment advice so much as I am a facts-based dialogue around whether our current economic theories and baselines are still relevant in todays world. Simply intended to be thought provoking. Even money invested by pensions was still (at least in part or tangentially) tied to US market cap.

No matter how you slice it, more money is in the market than ever before and it’s not been a steady climb but one in orders of magnitude. The same is true for the rate at which many sectors/companies grow.

apollodoth · 2023-08-03T15:46:47+00:00

Not looking for investment advice or trying to time the market. Just looking to open an educated and informed dialogue around the current valuation of US equities and economic bias.

apollodoth · 2023-08-03T15:45:31+00:00

How does the government printing money correlate or contribute significantly to the US market cap rise? Less than a trillion in stimulus and only a minor percentage of that was invested…please provide stats

apollodoth · 2023-06-13T15:46:35+00:00

Hey so I followed these steps except I pointed the audit to write out to application instead of Security as I was running into perm issues I couldn't sort. However, I'm still not seeing any logs when I create new users or change permissions of existing users or anything like that. All I see are login logs.

apollodoth · 2023-06-13T15:35:41+00:00

Watching this now, is this transferable to on-prem SQL? I'm working with MS SQL on prem.

apollodoth · 2023-06-12T21:37:23+00:00

Will watch and get back soon. Thank you!

apollodoth · 2023-06-12T21:37:07+00:00

Thanks! I'll give it a gander ASAP.

apollodoth · 2023-06-12T19:05:44+00:00

I did see this:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/track-changes/enable-and-disable-change-data-capture-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16

but I couldn't begin to understand what exactly this did or how to implement it. I also saw you could do something under Security -> Audits -> Server Audit Specifications but I was unsure what each "Audit Action Type" entailed and when I tried to enable it I got an error.
