one of my fave epic systems cool features was the "use TLS when communicating with the DB" switch that did literally nothing (or maybe something, but definitely didn't turn on TLS) and went unnoticed forever until the navy finally bothered to look at some pcaps.

can they get sued for fraud? :kiddo:

so I’ve only heard blurbs about the WhatsApp attack while traveling, did they break out of the iOS sandbox or did the hack just affect WhatsApp, the news snippets made it sound like they could get complete control of the phone but “Infosec journalism”

of course the stock market doesn’t give a poo poo but there is always a tiny dip before the market stops caring

apparently when you integrate azure ad with duo you can still do password stuffing and bruteforce attacks. getting redirected to duo only happens if the password is valid.

the amount of user tickets generated from not knowing if it's the password or the token is not worth the added security. especially when you can handle it other ways like brute force detection, unknown location detection, disallowing common passwords, etc...

and if ur doing push Auth there's no token to even enter.

still why would you give attackers an oracle? it's already bad enough when our users show up on haveibeenpwned.com. we don't need attackers to also be able to guess passwords.

also bruteforce protection does jack poo poo. if you lock out users after x failed attempts then you just dos yourself (happened before, management rightfully told IT to gently caress off and disable lock out). if you lock out malicious ips then attackers simply do distributed bruteforce.

an experiment already happening on a vast scale. vast enough in fact that it is unfortunately hard to really control for. mental health issues are on the rise among the young, but as they all grew up with both screens and the decay of society it is not obvious which part is the problem.

The thing that really destroys children is roads. Roads everywhere. Used to be you can play in front of the house with the other kids. Now make way for mister automobile. Can't have human spaces. Must pave over everything. Pave pave pave. Mark down park times in your calendar. Hope that you have time and energy to get the poor little ones in the car and make the trip. Can't have regular play time. It must be a loving event.

I miss when we spent summers at my grandparents in bumfuck nowhere. Just running around riding bikes and kicking footballs. The only concern is stray dogs and older kids.

Ban cars. Strip roads. Plant trees.
