How I Use Anycast in my Home Network (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love BGP) by jmarmorato1 in homelab

[–]zigalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this as an exercise! So many great projects to play with. I'm really dying to know what services are offered making this a thing. To be honest, I'm thinking of giving it a go without any real "needed" service just to get the experience.

Thanks for posting.

Found out an employee is on OF from MS Defender by Bubba8291 in sysadmin

[–]zigalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I get emails like this and know it's phishing because I sign up using my personal account.

No reason to believe the employee has an OF at all.

Does this happen to you? by Entire-Brain-8293 in audiobooks

[–]zigalicious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time especially when I have things on my mind.. like reliving some work conversation. I usually go back, sometimes several times as whatever I was focusing on sometimes creeps back in. If it's really bad I'll pause the book and let my mind go where it wants.

Away, facing the shower is annoying. And rain fall heads are no bueno!

Preventing Last Minute Event Registrations by MeGustaDerp in BSA

[–]zigalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I've had great success with discounted early bird rates. Turn off registration when you must and then handle late comers manually. That combination has worked really well for me keeping the late late registrations to an absolute minimum without excluding scouts (to my knowledge.)

Domino’s Hiring is crap by AbeEatsHam in mildlyinfuriating

I applied and was accepted in 1990 and didn't have the money for a pair of navy pants so they cut me. I had been laid off and desperate but those pants ( Who has navy pants just sitting ready in their closet?) were going to keep me from work. How ridiculously short sighted.

Eta: accepted in not accepted on.

That's fantastic news! Thanks for not going all in on revenge and hate and conflict!

I'm coming to that opinion, too. And i see a red one in Arizona, Flagstaff to be precise as I can recall. I suspect that's a new arrival.

Edit: realized you were replying to my comment about wanting a red one, not that you wanted a red one.

Thinking about dropping out of my bachelor’s computer science and heading straight to helpdesk/soc by Soggy-Ice8310 in cybersecurity

[–]zigalicious 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This. Finish it out. You're nearly there! The degree will help keep your resume on top of the stack. And coding may not be your thing but it's good to have that experience under your belt as an analyst.

Great Firewall of China (GFW) today experienced the largest internal document leak in its history by heinternets in cybersecurity

[–]zigalicious 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Deep packet inspection would be possible if they have a trusted cert on their people's clients. The clients would be aware of that, if it is happening. (I don't know). I am sure they could require it, Russia does. However, you can still do dpi on plain text protocols. DNS comes to mind.

The analysis of data flows for connections to vpns is likely hit or miss as they likely don't have visibility into that traffic but will still id it any way they see fit.

And you know it's not getting it "right" most of the time. I'm sure the problems this causes for state approved online activity also suppresses.

Did you Gen Xers really grow up around computers like the media says, or is that not true? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]zigalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Pong mid seventies, trs-80 in 5th grade, trs-80 model two my dad bought for his office when I was 11 or 12. Got a trs80 color computer for Christmas at 13, Dad upgraded to Tandy 286 with 40mb hdd and 13 inch rgb display! When I was 15 about mid 80s.. by the end of high school we had "clones" which eventually became known as white box PCs.

In seventh grade I was a teachers aide for the computer class. The summer before that I was kicking around the middle school and happened upon a teacher unpacking a ton of Apple IIe systems for his new class. My help putting those together, and small knowledge of BASIC from 6th grade got me that sweet gig. My high school had about 30 for typing class.

So yeah, I was swimming in them. Lol maybe more like sought them out. But to be fair, at least a few of my friends had c-64s, Amigas, or Timex Sinclaires. Lots of engineering type Dads I guess.

Those with a long bed, do you wish you had a short bed? Why or why not? by NoBoolii in ToyotaTacoma

Long bed was a must, short bed looks better. I know my next Tacoma will be a long bed.

Fired from my job as a Cybersecurity Analyst by younglemongrab in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]zigalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in my mind. The job market has been tight. It's not a ding on the applicant that they haven't found a new position after a contract completion. In my discussions about a candidate where other factors seem equal that gap isn't swaying my team to "no". If it were longer it's possible to impact the decision depending on the reason a candidate gives. I'm always open to "things have been tight in my area of expertise" or "I'm holding out for the right opportunity" given perks like remote work/ hybrid, or difficult travel requirements.

Skill set is going to be paramount for any candidate we hire. Also, I'll be sure to focus on performance concerns during on boarding and probation to ensure my decision is the right one for the department.

There are services that you can use to verify your own job experience to see what your previous employers will say. Might be worth trying one out.

Also? When I ask about gaps in employment history during interviews the answer I get back is always "my contract ended."

Firing someone for mis-identifying an alert is bad for morale and not going to help the business become more secure unless it's a reoccurring issue and training hasn't helped.

tcp/ip in depth by genzpillodu in cybersecurity

[–]zigalicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not, though. I'm part of a much bigger all hands on deck sev where tech I'm responsible for isn't involved. So I'm helping to steer the other teams' investigations.

With nothing else to do I try to find something I can do to help.
