We looked at Defender, we like it, but yeah pricing was kinda sharply steep considering their just enering the market.

We are looking at CarbonBlock and Crowdstrike, and Crowdstrike is looking more likely to be ahead of the pricing/feature curve. We just signed Deepwatch/Splunk for SIEM/MSS.

We're corporate enough these days that I had to lean heavily gartner bullshit for vendor justifications since there are so many offerings out there, but CrowdStrike is up there along with Sophos, Trend, and Eset. Wouldn't mind kicking the tires on carbon black but I doubt I will have enough time unless they want to sweep in with a really competitive bid.

lol 3des isn't broken its just slow as hell today, the problem is going to be in the non-ephemeral rsa key exchange
According to NIST it'll be disallowed, not just deprecated, in 2023 - so it shouldn't be implemented for anything new, and existing 3DES uses should be moved to something else within four years.

EDIT: And again, according to NIST, 3DES has an effective key length of 80, which is no longer considered secure - which is similar to how SHA1 is no longer considered secure because its effective key length is also below 80.

No, that's 2DES which was fundamentally broken from day one because you could attack it from both the plaintext and ciphertext ends as those rounds used the same key. It was a terrible idea and it was almost never used, the world jumped from DES to 3DES. 3DES has a effective key strength of 112bit and in practical terms is just as strong as AES-128

quote:

Federal applications shall only use three distinct keys whenever using TDEA for applying cryptographic protection after December 31, 2015; see Table 2 in Section 5.6.1 and [SP800- 131A] for further guidance.

Still permitted until 2030

2DES is only as strong as single DES, and 3DES is as strong as 2DES, if it weren't broken.

It's also 3DES with key 1 = key 3, the most common configuration. Here, the actual key size is 112 bits, but you can do the same meet in the middle attack as in 2DES, reducing the effective key size to 80 bits. With 3 keys, you have 3 * 56 bits, but again meet in the middle brings you down to 112 bits.

The difference between 112 and 128 bits is a factor 65536, or just enough to protect you short term on a nearly broken cipher (assuming DES takes the same time as AES, which I am fairly certain isn't the case).

Yeah, you can't stand up a new application that encrypts with 3des after 2023 and you have until 2030 for existing stuff to spin it down and move it to AES or whatever is newer. And you wouldn't want do since its slow as poo poo compared to any AES option because every processor supports aes-ni now.

I don't think you want to start in security. You start doing some other type of software or IT work, and end up in security.

that is how i started, but, personal opinion:

getting people with non standard backgrounds into security is useful and productive for those of us already in security.

all else being equal i'd rather hire someone who has a good security mindset ("doing things that way seems dangerous, here's why i think that!", or "what happens if someone puts something you don't expect here?", etc) vs someone who has 5 years of experience writing ansible playbooks or lovely flask apps or whatever.

An almost more important question is how does that student want to spend their day to day life on the job. Lots of ways to “be in security” from academia to dev to consulting to just doing math all day. But if you know you don’t want to code all day or that you value in person group work, that is really helpful when trying to find a career path that works for you.

For context, I work with a lot of masters students with very little conception of what a computing career can be beyond "do software". They all want to work at Facebook/Apple/Google/Amazon/etc with a vague notion of programming, and if you ask what sort of programming, they just say "backend" or "frontend" (not realizing that they're just referring to web and not the rest of all of computing). I'm trying to get them to see that computing is actually broad and diverse and that most jobs you'd want are ones you've never heard of yet. As one part of this, I'm trying to introduce students to a variety of different areas, one of which is security, but it was difficult, because security has a larger-than-average shrieking buzzword mill surrounding it, which makes finding good introduction stuff hard.

Incidentally, I also teach intro security, and this thread is the best thing ever for that. If YOSPOS ever goes away, getting a constant stream of secfucks to jam into my course is going to become actual work.

Like, every year I tell students that Symantec is trash, and every year there's a new insane vulnerability posted here within a week or two of me saying that that reinforces my point.

I got into security nearly accidentally, I was a huge tinkerer and loved breaking and fixing things, but I started in IT as a Unix guy, and then got introduced to doing CTF events, then Red Teaming, then Blue Teaming.

Only thing Id say is it helps to know a little about each part of IT go see the big picture of infrastructure and how security and its controls fit into it.

I just came back from coaching Red Teams at a DOE event. We had a ton of fun.
