Seeing a lot of bots (on infosec.exchange and elsewhere) posting toots that contain links to a search on search.bt.com. It’s a little odd, as there are no results. Guessing spam misfire, but heads up to admins. The bot parade is starting.

Oh dang, I had no idea the "Stylish" browser extension went to the dark side. Thankfully I haven't used it for a while but I wouldn't have hesitated because it worked really well. robertheaton.com/2018/07/02/st

I'll get back to you; lemme just run this Ackermann function first.

And just like that, my first year studying digital forensics has gone by.

Time flies when you cannot exit vim.

People screaming how awesome X gourmet Frech food is:

dude, have you tried spéculoos

I've just tried a IPA beer that taste just like jasmine sencha, but it's beer and I'm really confused

Popcorn is a superior snack to chips:

It's easier to transport.
It's usually cheaper.
It has less sound when you eat it.

Taste is almost as good as chips.

Many people are complaining about Electron, but I bet 90% of those people have at least 5 gb ram that is unused at the same time.

I mean, it's free real estate.

I am usually very supportive of the Humble Bundle stuff but their latest "Cyber Security" bundle is pretty laughable. It seems like they got suckered into peddling some dubious software.

Does anyone else have an pinion about this?

I see a bit of talk of the woman-only conference "blackhat". I haven't really been in the infosec game for long, so my question is: is this a good idea? I thought the best way of including women into the business was to just being more open and inclusive in everyone's activities.

Is there anyone who could enlighten me on this topic?

Just published a post on how you can set up an open source security scanner (  ZED attack proxy) for your file transfer server sftpplus.com/articles/2018/sft which uses HTTP(S) authentication.

You can adapt to fit your own server.
