That loving TCP joke happened to me today. I noticed some timestamp issues with logs flowing into Logstash (running 4+ weeks behind) so I said "Wait why are you running TCP just use UDP" and they did. The volume went up 100x and crashed our Elastic Cluster. Fuckers.

The only way I got salary increases was by changing jobs. If I had stayed with my first IT job I'd still be making $18-25/hour. I know this because I play DnD with a dude who started 2 years before I did, still works there 12 years later and is making that.

I think the easiest thing to start with as far as Ansible is concerned is setting up an Algo VPN  instance.https://blog.trailofbits.com/2016/12/12/meet-algo-the-vpn-that-works/ https://github.com/trailofbits/algo Specifically by running the non-interactive Ansible Deploy: https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/docs/deploy-from-ansible.md It's functional, it doesn't cost you any money, and you can stop giving Lowtax awful NordVPN money. They even have an experimental Terraform build your can try too: https://github.com/trailofbits/algo-ng Mustache Ride fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Aug 6, 2020 |

Goddamn that shits expensive. I just bought one of these cheapo frames from Amazon and a piece of butcher block from Lowes and got the same thing. Spent less than 300 bucks and got something that exactly fit the space I needed.

uhhhhahhhhohahhh posted:They're both NAC consultant/engineer jobs. The first/big one is specifically designing and then I guess supporting a NAC rollout for their biggest client. The second would be doing it for any of their existing and new clients then handing it off. The question is do you want to be on long term support for a single NAC deployment that has a larger than average chance of getting cancelled halfway through because somebody's cousins uncle got hired at the client as a consultant and said this is a bad thing or do you want to be the NAC specialist who does the same thing 12-45 times a year and maybe pick up alcoholism in the process. Both have downsides, but I prefer the job stability, so when presented with the same choice (but not for NAC) a few years ago I went with the second choice and now have a subscription whiskey delivery service.

The interface is poo poo and I don't think they do field parsing correctly. I had to dump their logs into Excel in order to get filtering to work. Wasn't impressed.

Why not? Lets you know how much of a business focused mindless drone he is and what he expects of his people. If he never takes vacations, he'll probably never expect you to take vacations. Plus its a good talking point, and gives you insight into what he likes to do in his free time. CISOs are people too, you don't have to put them on a pedestal because they have 'Chief' in their title.

Agrikk posted:Has anyone managed to pull up from a downwards trajectory of burnout while remaining at the same company? Yes. I told my boss I needed a month off before I started punching other employees in the face. Including him. He told me to get my rear end out the door. I then went on a 1 month road trip, didn't think about work once, and when I got back I learned he had disabled my o365 account so that no emails or teams messages could reach me, and in our contact list had put a huge read DO NOT CALL MUSTACHE RIDE FOR ANY REASON UNTIL <Date of Return>. They even paid me, even though it was far over my allowed PTO for the year. We then had a discussion about stress and amount of work I was comfortable doing at one time, and so far he has respected it (its been about a year). I guess I don't have any suggestions to give you to do the same other than, if you find a great boss, stick with them. I followed this boss around (we're on our 3rd company) and even though I've gotten offers for jobs with 20-40% pay raises, I haven't followed through, simply because I'm afraid of finding a poo poo boss leading that team. Internet Explorer posted:I've changed jobs quite a bit in the past few years and I am just as burnt out as ever. I don't know what the answer is, but I want to get out of corporate IT completely. I have been doing this poo poo for too long. The state of the world is not helping. I don't find enjoyment in working on this poo poo, fighting with management, fighting with engineers, all while the world burns. I've got a good buddy of mine who quit corporate IT about 6 year ago and took up building custom cabinets, which he said was his dream job. I heard last year he got burnt out of that and is back in IT. When I asked him about it, he said that he was getting the same stress but directly from lovely customers/homebuilders wanting impossible timelines and requirements without appropriate compensation, and decided that if he was going to be stressed for that he might as well get paid doing it. He told me to gently caress off when I asked for a bedside table.

I had an IOC threat feed do the same thing automatically years ago because our Intel guy wanted us to OCR these Mandiant pdf reports and for some loving reason they put the explorer.exe hash in one. The bastards. At least it was an easy fix and we got to test our break glass process.

VDIs are awesome. I get onboarded to a new client and immediately ask for a VDI solution. Why have a laptop when I can connect using my 3 screen MacBook so I don't have to look stupid doing the win key+c thing and wondering why it doesn't work? Also why the hell do companies still issue laptops that can't drive 3 screens?

I started my career in forensics and haven't seriously touched it in 6 years. The only times I've used it are when performing an IR and the insurance company required a certified forensicator to perform the after action analysis on a compromised host. It's a good skill to have simply because of the knowledge it gives you around how an operating system works. I highly suggest anyone in security that wants to do more than look at siem logs and wants to work on IRs to get a giac cert around forensics and possibly purchase a copy of EnCase or get really familiar with Autopsy. Basic evidence handling and chain of custody is really good to know as well.

I'm giving a potential security engineer a lab interview right now and he's doing an excellent job, but I can tell he's stressed to the gills and feels like he's doing bad. He's not. We're going to make him an offer. He's done better than 90% of the idiots we interview.

Sickening posted:At my main gig we have just onboarded a new CISO (old one retired). The new CISO has decided in the first meeting of our entire division would be a social affair. It started out pleasant enough, but their questions are now moving to thing that are borderline inappropriate. She just ask people to post their kids pictures in chat. Talk to the most senior person in the chat and get them to shut it down with a simple , "hey we'll do family details at a later date, let's keep this to a company setting" and if it continues get them to leave the chat and go talk to a c level about this. Also, lol if it's you

Their words are “these employees are neither credible or credentialed”. Basically I have to restrict all these employees to paper pushing duties. Wait is this your main gig or the new CISO on the side gig. I'm so confused!

This one was kind of weird because the position got put on hold for a new director to get up to speed and then got taken off hold so this is the first one since the position got put on hold. Maybe it's a meet the team interview? Can't imagine they'd need more than 3 unless someone was out for all the other interviews.
