How Predator Spyware Defeats iOS Recording Indicators An analysis documenting how a commercial spyware sample, Predator, operates post-compromise.

An important note I think is that this capability requires kernel-level access to hook Springboard (iOS's UI controller) and hide those indicators.

Starting an InfoSec Career – The Megamix – Chapters 4-5 Chapter 4: Blue Team Careers With the help of many people in InfoSec who kindly gave me advice and quotes, I have created a perhaps overly simplistic listing of common InfoSec roles in today’s mark…

Nice! In a similar vein, I also really like @hacks4pancakes.com posts on blue/red careers from a few years ago

I wonder if the Browns can keep him around, hire an offensive minded coach and let them focus on figuring everything out without having to worry about that side of the ball

To delete a line you've written at the Linux, macOS, or Unix command prompt, use "Ctrl-U". Works with password prompts too. No need hit backspace multiple times.

I've yet to see evidence these attacks are anything but teams that suck at automation outsourcing their work

It took me a while to get comfortable with how to use it effectively, and I'm still not convinced the trade offs are worth it, but it pushing non-full time devs past road blocks is my favourite outcome so far, going to lead to so many community projects that bring real value

It's pretty wild to watch the discourse decide that a failure to enforce strong MFA is an indictment of

Would make some of the cuisine easier to order as well, a plate of hot food in already hot temps is a tough sell but give me a guaranteed breeze and that concern goes away

Booked a hotel in Nice last summer specifically for its AC, the lowest it would go? 27. It’s like they hate comfort.

Worked at one in a gap year, i had cars rejected on any aspect you can think of, country of origin, interior materials, expected gas mileage, colour, trim model.. and the entire business model relies on having most cars rented every day so you really don’t have a massive selection to pull from.

This has always been the case, you have 10-20 seconds to get the viewer to commit to the first 2-3 minutes. Longer form videos need a reason to keep people there, either by making the video ‘background noise’ (ie podcasts, game play throughs) or by having content dense videos that require focus.
