We are looking for two engineers that are interested in helping design and develop new products to help extend WatchGuard's enterprise-grade security to every endpoint. Our customers routinely ask for improved ways to protect employees who work off the corporate network – you’ll be a big part of delivering that solution.
As part of this role, you will work on both the endpoint application and the backing cloud services. You will be part of a small engineering team located in Wakefield, MA (~15 minutes North of Boston) that truly values building high quality solutions to customer's daily security challenges.

We are building Strongarm, a cloud-based anti-malware solution that is designed specifically for small and medium businesses. Protecting your business doesn't need to be complicated or expensive!
We're building strongarm.io - the best way to stop malware from damaging your business - and are seeking software and operations engineers to help us build and scale our services.
Last summer, we had four successful hires from Hacker News. Now we are looking for a couple more. You'd be joining a small team of passionate engineers and security experts dedicated to helping secure businesses of all sizes. We love Python, Django, and Twisted and run on AWS.
> Although, Linode's email isn't what notified is, it was our intrusion detection system.
Are you able to elaborate on this? I understand you may not want to name specific vendors/products in the name of operational security but it sounds like in this scenario whatever is in place actually did its job.
To add to that, bcrypt is not the best recommendation if choosing a password hash today. In theory they should be adopting Argon2 (or maybe scrypt).
In practice, I suspect that either the bindings for Argon2/scrypt don't exist or aren't easily adoptable given their use of ColdFusion. They do exist in Python.
We currently use Trello for project management but find that the duplication of data between Trello and GitHub and the lack of "higher order" views (epics, roadmap, etc) make us want to move to a more purpose built service.
Does Clubhouse have any features to help show a product roadmap to other teams? For example, something that shows the priorities and queued work for the next six months that can be referenced by an inside sales team.
(Full disclosure: I run a service that blocks and intercepts malware communication using DNS! https://strongarm.io)
Blocking via your hosts file has some great benefits; it works regardless of network and is relatively easy to update. Unfortunately, it doesn't scale easily to many systems or give you any insight into whether or not you are trying to connect to blocked domains.
Blocking via DNS is a good alternative and is suggested multiple times in this thread. You can easily protect a whole network by setting your recursive resolvers and it works across any system.
If you are interested in this and don't want to operate and maintain your own DNS (as well as pulling down various domain lists) check out https://strongarm.io. We manage DNS, aggregating lists of bad domains, and (most uniquely) will alert you if you try and talk to a blocked domain.
It's free for personal use. We are a growing startup and love feedback from HN. Feel free to contact me directly as well! stephen[at]strongarm.io
Technology Transfer[1] is one of the mechanisms that enables collaboration between federal labs and the commercial sector.
Caveat, I am not affiliated with YC. However, technology I invented at an FFRDC was licensed by an investment firm. I choose to follow the work, co-found a startup, and focus on bringing the technology to a wider audience. I'm happy to talk about my experiences.
GitHub is popular. More people will come in contact with the development of Python by Python being on GitHub. That's a significant benefit to any open source project; one that I believe outweighs the concerns of a private company valuing business over developer ideals.
This doesn't actually appear to be new; at least not that I can tell.
Google Cloud has supported being able to open an SSH session to any of your instances right from the browser for awhile. I've found it to be a killer feature and am really surprised Amazon Web Services does not offer the same thing.
I don't accept "coverage and scale" as the answer to why this was created. What problem is fundamentally being solved by scanning, or fuzzing, your web based applications "at scale"?
I understand this is journalism, but the pictures give an ominous tone that, regardless of how much I read, I can't overcome. No one is smiling or looks remotely happy.
You will feel better; both physically and mentally. Positive habit leads to more positive habit. Pay attention to how you feel. You don't need scientific studies to prove these things are "good" for you.
At Percipient Networks, our mission is to secure your business and prepare you to respond to security threats. Our service, STRONGARM, seamlessly integrates with existing systems and saves you time by automating security operations, discovering compromised systems, and providing in-depth, accurate, and relevant information during an incident to help eliminate threats.
That quick hack is exactly the approach we've taken with new technical hires this summer. We are a "vagrant up and go" shop, but there are a bunch of steps between handing someone a laptop and running your app in vagrant. We took the time to document the process and used it in onboarding. We made it explicitly clear that if you notice issues, please fix them, which has the intended side effect of familiarizing the new hire with our development practices (pull requests, reviews, etc).
