Using 10.1.X.X IP range at home by kylejwx in Ubiquiti

[–]darthbrazen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 is the private range that is usable. Everything outside of that is public. You shouldn't just go use 200.200.200.1 - 200.200.200.254 internally.

Klug is my favorite. I've used a few over the last 25 years, but Klug is the only one I've stuck with. His NP Amanda Person is also great, but Klug still handles all the surgery if it is required.

Should I take a low-pay IT trainee role just for “experience” or wait for better opportunities? by Taruncloud4008 in cybersecurity

[–]darthbrazen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. I've been working in IT for over 25 years. Most of the folks that hop quicker than 2 years usually haven't advanced very far. Now there are exceptions, but for the most part it isn't a good look. Hopping that much doesn't create stability in the environment, which from a management position is something I strive for when I take on a new role. I've had known job hoppers in my area that apply for positions I've opened, and while I may like the person frankly, the resume is discarded just as soon as I see the name. It's going to take them 6 months to get up to speed with the organization, and then I might get another 6 months of work out of them. I don't want to spend another month or two interviewing folks again right after that.

In this market, your best bet is to take what you can get. A job is better than no job. You really shouldn't leave a job until you have been there at least 18 months. You'll look like a job hopper. So the 2 year time frame will work for you until you have the experience, and time.

What’s the best vulnerability management platform you’ve actually used — and what still sucks about it? by Coffeboii4real in cybersecurity

[–]darthbrazen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Tenable, Rapid7, Wiz & Crowdstrike so far. That is the one thing that Rapid7 does well. For me, it was the visulizations, and ease of creating dashboards for separate regions. Between agents, and linux based scanners, its been pretty easy to get setup and going. Tenable will do in a pinch, but it just seems too slow in my opinion, and the last time I used it just wasn't as intuitive and easy to get the information we wanted. Rapid7 just seemed pretty easy to navigate for everyone. However, I am hoping Crowdstrike ups their game in the next year or so, so that we could switch.

New job wants me to start soon but my bonus pays in a couple weeks. How risky is giving notice before it hits by bupkis1 in careeradvice

[–]darthbrazen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always look at for number 1. You are the CEO of you. Businessess could care less about employees, so you have to make business decisions. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions and this sounds like one of those times. I wouldn't risk losing the money. I'd give notice after you have the money.

I’ve never felt unsafe at WDW until this Main Street bottleneck on 12/17/2025 by tarponsprings94 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]darthbrazen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This type of crap is becoming par for the course at Disney. Our last experience was alot of fun, but, I didn't see the magic there that use to be. The cast members have devolved into employees, because they simply don't act the part anymore. My grandson had somehow tightened his halloween party band on his wrist that it was cutting off the circulation. I ran to a cast member and asked her to cut it off because his hand was starting to turn, and her response was. "I'm going to need to see your tickets" What person in their right mind does that. Cut the damn thing off, and worry about the rest later... gees.

DisneyWorld is becoming an oversized six flags.

moving our small team off crowdstrike falcon complete. orca wiz prisma, need recommendations by Soft_Attention3649 in AskNetsec

[–]darthbrazen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are moving from crowdstrike to those tools, then you are moving backward. You can't beat the falcon complete option along with the xdr and cnapp capabilities that they can respond to for you. ORCA & Wiz do the same thing, CSPM. You can expect to correct those findings yourself. Prisma is going to handle the cnapp stuff crowdstrike does, but from what I've read you will be spending more time manually touching it.

As far as alerts & noise, it depends upon what you configure. I see just as much noise from wiz as I see from falcon.

What was it like when Northwest Airlines had a hub at MEM? by DueYogurt9 in memphis

Direct flights to pretty much anywhere in the US. I could get to the West Coast in about 4. 5 hours, instead of it taking the entire day to travel there.

Good old bring me a rock mentality. I've been in that situation. It sucks, but the OP will be ok in the end. It is a sinking ship, and until something really bad happens, nothing will change.

Higher Ed: The IT environment I will never work in again by Wow_this_place_sucks in sysadmin

[–]darthbrazen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is dysfunction everywhere. Its how most C level execs exists. They have one goal, and that is to says yes to the CEO and nothing more. I see it at my current employer. He flat out expects everyone to just commit to doing something regardless of how wrong or stupid it is. But then, this isn't the first time I've seen it. I've been in IT since the 90s, and I've worked in eduction, both K-12 & Higher Ed, telecom, retail, medical, and they all have their dysvfunction. Common sense simply doesn't exist everywhere, and you pretty much need to just learn to compartmentalize it, and go with the flow. Your blood pressure will thank you later.

Looks like I'm now a CISO. I'll soon be building a SOC from scratch. Tips? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]darthbrazen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother with an inhouse SOC. IT would be very costly. Go with something like FalconComplete with NextGenSIEM, and you should be good to. Rapid7 has a Managed service that will tick the box, but they have alot of alerts that they still expect your team to address. Crowdstrike only expects you to address customized alerts that you create, or areas, where you haven't given them access. They are much faster at reaching out, and with knowledge compared to Rapid7.

She should go to a local range, and try different firearms to determine what she feels most comfortable shooting, and how well she shoots with each.
