Just another week

Posted on November 9, 2018 By Michael Kavka No Comments on Just another week

I would love to give you all some big post this week. That is not the case as I do not have a big thing to post about. With the elections this week, and just doing some normal cleanup at work, not a whole lot is going on, so here are a few tidbits.

Brakeing Down Security started the new book in book-club this week, Hacker Playbook 3. Good first discussion and a great write-up can be found here that covers what we went over. If you want to know more, go to their website and mail them asking for admittance to the slack they run.

Vendor happy hours can be interesting. This week I was at one where they had a dog and pony show about using Blockchain as a DLP solution. The company that presented on this, being from Texas, not only catered in some good Texas BBQ, but also started their presentation with tips on making a good BBQ brisket. Why do I bring this up? If you have a product that is going to get ripped apart by the audience, at least give them something they can use.

Cisco seems to have become quite the punching bag lately. Every time I blink it seems they are announcing 2-4 new bugs in their products. Makes me wonder how many holes they have not announced yet.

That covers things for this week.
