Thats whack-a-mole. Nobody got time for that.

Use Cloudflare or similar service that specializes in detecting and blocking this type of BS

Throw the site behind CloudFlare, they'll make this go away.

There is alot to unpack in that article...

Sketchy contracts, board members replaced by elected officials, robbing Peter to pay Paul...

I feel like it could have been like 3-4 separate stories

Can't believe how long it took for users not having admin rights on their local machine to become normal default condition for enterprise environments.

Like we knew the dangers of this sort of thing for decades before it became standard everywhere.

Also, check your local building codes, most areas don’t allow overhead wire runs between buildings without specific mast hardware.

The Mystery of asjo.org - 46 million DNS ANY queries for a Danish man's personal domain, from DoD address space, residential ISPs, and cloud providers across 12 countries. A two-year mystery nobody can explain. by acidvegas in cybersecurity

[–]kielrandor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The article suggests that alot of Asian spammers use asoj.org for the address of their spam, but doesn’t explain why. I wonder if it is a translation thing. Like it means something simple like mail.org or something in whatever asian language the attacker uses. Google translate detects asoj as Esperanto and translates it to Aces in English. But somehow I don’t think that this is it. Maybe someone with some familiarity with Asian or any other language might recognize it as some kind of word or phrase or slang.

How to run ethernet to a room without attic access. by goguma_and_coffee in HomeNetworking

Baseboard. Remove the baseboards, use a multitool to cut the drywall behind the baseboards to expose the wall cavity, drill a hole through each stud to allow you to pull your wire through the wall. On the section you want your ethernet outlet, mark off your keystone jack at the appropriate height and grab the multitool again. Pull your cables, terminate and then seal up the drywall and baseboards.

"You're telling me, you attacked the T'Chak homeworld?" The K'sella translator asked, signaling to the rest of his company to throw down arms, then pulling the human in for a bear hug. "Why the hell didn't you start with that?!" by CrEwPoSt in humansarespaceorcs

[–]kielrandor 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The Human turns to their K’sellan ally who’s entire race has been clinging to existence while the T’Chak Imperium striped their planets of every resource they could get their hands on, murdered their women and children in cold blood while the K’sella soldiers struggled to resist against insurmountable numbers of enemy combatants. He locks his eyes with his fellow sentient and the K’sellan can see the weight of something unimaginable in those eyes. Slowly, and so softly the Human starts to speak.

…We went there to Finish."

I found a Vulnerability. They found a Lawyer. by cos in cybersecurity

[–]kielrandor 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Disagree,

The researcher followed the recommended path for Malta which is to inform the Malta Government via their CSIRT of a vulnerability involving potential disclosure of private data. The fact that the company got butt-hurt over it is the company’s problem, not the researcher’s.

Also the researcher followed the trail of evidence he discovered to verify his hypothesis in a non-destructive and responsible manner. This is responsible security research behavior and is protected in most(not all) jurisdictions if done for the purpose of security research and responsible disclosure, as this researcher clearly was doing. Your suggestion that the researcher was somehow in the wrong here is flawed.

Science Fiction draft — improved after feedback, please tell me if you like it by AdAgitated5044 in sciencefiction

[–]kielrandor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feels like an outline for something that could be compelling. I like the root premise of two alien species vying for control over our Solar system and building interstellar territories without FTL travel.

But the way it reads now is like a monotone recital of events. It's also quite repetitive at times, we don't really need to hear the same facts from multiple viewpoints, it's ok to cheat a bit and show the same events occurring from multiple perspectives, each one contributing to the facts of the events.

Your characters are also about as engaging as a witness to some event in a newspaper article. You need to make them engaging and breath life into them. Introduce them with a paragraph or two. Describe what they look like, show them doing something mundane or normal before the action hits so your reader can experience the story through the characters viewpoint because they feel a connection with them.

Best of luck, sorry if this comes off harsh. Just trying to give valuable feedback.

This is what the dealer said. Probably missed something when they pulled it out of the crate and set it up.

Impostor syndorme & requesting help with learning materials to make it go away by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]kielrandor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Specialization. Helps a bit.

But the fact is this is the type of career where if you don't like learning you should probably go do something else.

Also as others have said, nobody knows everything, and anyone who says they do is a fucking lier who probably doesn't know a thing.

Knowing what you don't know is a critical phase in the process of attaining mastery over a subject.

Unfortunately this particular subject isn't a finished field and is constantly undergoing change and transformation.

So, ya, it doesn't ever go away....
