It aligns quite well with the study (in diagrams and commented assembly) of x86 in POC || GTFO starting in pocorgtfo04.pdf chapter 3 provided by Shikhin Sethi.
The Nature article and notebooks from a few years back are still pretty good for demos, though everything has updated since then , especially iPython -> Jupyter.
I do agree. That's actually part of why I called out the language: maintaining balance (as well as not cussing in front of the wrong people) are critical skills for security professionals and sorely lacking in many would-be candidates.
His educational advice was good but the attitude he shares via diction is unhelpful at best especially to folks who do not _yet_ have an awesome job in infosec.
This mirror of a Purism blog post to his personal blog looks pretty interesting but I'm having trouble accessing it on homelinux or puri.sm domains due to reputation.
_The Week_ is quite good (US or UK). They have people read many of the things you don't have time to (including _The Economist_ :) ) and pull highlights from them across a broad range of topics.
Yes, but that was consumer / education market gear first (iMac) as I recall.
More or less back on topic ... I bought a HP Probook for my on-the-road studies/work last cycle because I needed a portable that I could do _work_ with and repairability, matte screen, mouse buttons, VGA, HDMI, and whole lot of other things were much more important to me than width or mass or shiny. It came with Windows and it's well supported.
I would like to get another 17" macbook pro someday (mine is pretty old and 80% retired), and this move and the messaging around it suggests that Apple doesn't care to make one. It's no surprise, but it still stings a bit, and as noted else where it is breathtakingly clumsy for their remaining mac business (as is that press conference).
In line with the principle of charity I'd like to point out that your declaration here that network IDS provides only "minor cost savings" is controversial to the point of almost being aggressive towards folks working in information security. In the same vein, I'm simply disregarding the politically charged motive you assign to the technology.
If that was your intent (to start a political argument), then so be it, but if instead of picking a fight you would like to understand the problem space better there are plenty of smart folks on HN and elsewhere who can provide use cases and data ... to say nothing of vendors who will argue from either side depending on what they are selling.
Speaking vaguely on purpose without sources (apologies), the folks who were concerned about weapons targeting a few decades back had no expectation that any part of the greater metropolitan Atlanta area would survive a nuclear strike.
The historical maps are still around and might be FOIA'able from US gov or others. shiver The doctrine and culture around MAD is, even a few decades on, really quite frightening.
Only one of them requires readwrite system administrator privileges (eg sudo). apt-cache can be run by any user as it doesn't expose any secret data and can't be used to make changes. apt-get can install and uninstall software as well as download packages and thus needs root privileges in the classic UNIX model.
