Remember Friends:

You cannot both have secure end-to-end encryption to protect your communication AND also have a backdoor/key/access only for "the good guys."

This is not possible.
Do not believe anyone telling you otherwise.

End-to-end encryption protects us all,
we must fight to keep it ✊🔒

CSAM reporting requirements - not cyber security awareness month 

Reminder. For #iinfosec cyber defenders, there’s only one thing you can find where you are required by law to notify the feds immediately, before even your employer.

US Code Title 18 s2251

law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18

Reporting requirements are s2258

law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18

You report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children here:

I am extremely fortunate I’ve never run into it, but I know #blueteam and #dfir people who have.

Always be the good guys. And leave these bad guys to the professionals. The amateur ‘catch a predator’ people have fubar’ed cases by not following legal procedure. Don’t give the villains an out.

The car industry is even worse for your privacy than the worst tech company -- and that's because the worst behavior of the tech industry is embedded in every car. This report from @mozilla is what Consumer Reports should have done years ago -- and it is infuriating. foundation.mozilla.org/en/priv

At #defcon31 #DARPA
announced a huge 2-year #AI #Cyberchallenge with the semis and finals hosted at good old #defcon. Over 18M in total prizes, access to cutting edge tech and a chance to help secure the open infrastructure we all rely on. If that sounds like your kind of fun, details are at aicyberchallenge.com

The good @paperghost is on the look for a new role from next month (infosec.exchange/@paperghost/1)

Being so humble, he really doesn't sell himself well. So I'll try to pitch in by saying Chris is one of the most genuinely nice people in the industry, not to mention extremely competent, a brilliant researcher, and quite possibly delivered the <best> conference presentation I've seen in person ever.

People like this don't come on the market very often... so do whatever you can to land this man.

In other news, my daughter has completed her A levels, and the ISC2 CC, and is looking for an apprenticeship / entry level cybersecurity position. So, you have the choice of a n00b or an experienced pro. Don't say hiring is a challenge! you're welcome!

You: Oh no the world is burning

I don't think I've ever read an incident report (goes from bottom to top) like this and had a more clear and escalating trend of "Oh NO!"s.

Rackspace got absolutely piledriven to the point that they completely shut their hosted Exchange service off and paid for Office365 for anyone impacted.

They've said absolutely nothing about backups, restoration, or data recovery.

You can feel with each update the incident communication responsibilities getting handed further up the ladder.

A financially motivated threat actor is hacking telecommunication service providers and business process outsourcing firms, actively reversing defensive mitigations applied when the breach is detected.

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't use #FOSS tools top-to-bottom to make things.

I like and support @fosstodon, and I thought it would be cool to #3dprint the logo for my desk. Here's what I used:

OS->#ubuntu
Browser(download image)->@bravebrowser
SVG(from image)->@inkscape
CAD(make solid from SVG)->@FreeCAD
Slicer->@prusa3D

If anyone is interested, I can upload the files so that you can make your own.

All of the #freecad parts in the post last night are from a 1970's drafting textbook that I have. I decided to try modeling the entire assembly to show that you can do it just fine using the Assembly3 workbench to put it all together after modeling each individual part. It really wasn't any harder than doing it in something like SolidWorks. @FreeCAD is an incredibly powerful tool, and it makes me happy to see more and more people realizing that and using it.

I've just scheduled the next instance of my monthly devlog livestream for #OctoPrint, "OctoPrint on Air", on next Monday. That one will be a special one because OctoPrint is turning 10! 🎂

To properly celebrate this, I've made this livestream open to everyone who wants to join me in looking back on OctoPrint's first 10 years, some celebration, and of course a chance for some Q&A.

Interested? Details here: octoprint.org/blog/2022/12/05/
