I am not seeing the long term, what is the value of this over a Shodan API key? They both crawl public IPs and explore subdomains for exposed resources.

Short term, if you have limited the view to companies only with bug bounty programs, it seems useful if you want to complete a bug bounty but don't know where to start. But the mapping of public resources has already been done.

I think showing URLs with sensitive params exposed, services using default creds, or some extra value add over a commodity scanner would be valuable. But then you would just be running a bug bounty/ pentesting AI service for bigger enterprises.

You can set this with Windows' default firewall. Setting to strict mode with no whitelist causes a UAC alert every time a process attempts communication.

It is a deliberate oversight, the author picked metrics and test based on the result not the other way around. Even the first test (# of jobs per location) should be adjusted to jobs per population or something else since most people value diversity in their social circles.

I am not sure the ideal solution here. I do not like data caps in theory or practice, but I can see the CSPs thinking here: get paid for network usage somehow.

It just seems absurd since they are monetizing every part they can (insert capitalism is to drive revenue to shareholders rant here) that is wholly owned by each customer. VMs, IPs, disks, and databases are easy enough to say who owns what. But after that, the networking should be a shared service that is amortized by other product billables.

There is no real incremental cost to sending data in/out of CSPs so this feels like pure profiteering. They need networking for stuff to work, the fiber is already there, and they are billing for network resources. It is getting blood from a stone and reducing ability to flea, errrrm, migrate.

Maybe we return to the old days of mobile service and texting schemes. Free data ingress/egress on nights and weekends (or whenever traffic is less).

This looks incredible with the local search and context awareness. Curious if there is a comparison to other tools like photoprism about the advantages of Immich

As a internal security person (now a consultant for third parties): your approach is interesting, but still fails where all security tools do, who is going to install the agent on every box. The reason why every asset tracking solution is incomplete is because they are trying to correlate agent data and platform data. This is exacerbated by cloud computing since resources are much more transient and new servers lack gating by a governance org.

Complex AV tools are cool but they are so far down the chain of actually exploited vulns, they are not super useful most of the time. Usually the vulns used are old and just unpatched (check the latest DBIR data to see average age of exploited vuln). So a lot of time and effort goes into cajoling teams to update packages and having them say "we don't even call the vulnerable function."

My biggest issues: -Asset inventory (SANS Top 20 #1)

-Software inventory (SANS Top 20 #2)

-Tagging of ownership (what does this box do and who do I call if it goes bump in the night)

To answer your other questions: -Yes, but that is because we created it

-Yes, but only because we have tooling to do it across cloud envs

-No, we only look at deployed bins

-Signature based

-Getting useful code deployed to a box is hard enough, unless there a RCE this is so far down the list of threats on our threat model

-No idea, I assume pretty good since we use MITRE references, but making sure those are accurate to what we find is tough

-Yes, all of them (Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, Alpine)

>The only possible purpose of making laws like this is so that the state can try to enforce some remedy whereby we're told how much we have to or are allowed to pay someone. Who in their right mind wants to sign up for that kind of risk?

How is this the logical conclusion you arrive at? Do you as a company not have a salary range for headcount? Do you not expect prices to be posted by your vendors leading to a lack in informational symmetry and haggling during every routine interaction?

Imagine if your landlord could arbitrarily raise your rent an untold amount with no notice. You of course have options, move or negotiate. But the informational asymmetry means it is harder for you to know if you are getting a good deal if every other landlord is listing their rent as $1-100000 per month or not telling you until after you spent the time checking out the property only to find it is way outside your budget.

The time cost of candidates finding your job, doing some basic research, prepping for X rounds of interviews, possible homework, dealing with hiring managers/ recruiters is insane once you figure folks usually apply to multiple jobs. Why not just tell them up front the salary like you do for role expectations and company culture drivel? Posting honest salary bands is fine to me, say seniors will get $100-150k or whatever, but the article shows clear malice towards any legitimate transparency up front.

> during the GPU shortage where gamers who build systems with AMD chips were left unable to use their PC

This comment baffles me, both AMD and Intel have CPUs with onboard graphics and those without. You even noted the integrated graphics a sentence later.

If anything, this is more evidence that AMD is following the Intel playbook by having that integrated CPU/ GPU architecture plan.

I think the flip flopping is hurting them and their users more and more. What was initially a flat denial this morning has resulted in taunts from Lapsus$ on Twitter, Okta was out-scooped by Cloudflare's public investigation. Now they admit a breach affecting 2.5% (roughly 250 orgs based on public data).

The webinar tomorrow should be fascinating if they allow questions.
