@aionescu I guess it depends how long it took them to find the RCE? If it took them a week then imo that's a good pay day - if it took 2 months, then maybe they should find an easier job.
@JoJo_Elizabeth_ @OpenUniversity Great decision and good luck with your studies! One tip from, don't get carried away and stick to the study hr guidelines. I did 2 modules at once and spent all my time doing assignments rather than consuming the excellent content
@dday15L057 @pl_wtf@_darrenmartyn OK maybe I was a little to harsh. I love your Google is a massive man page analogy! but the point I was making is googling fundamentals like PKI, protocols/port numbers, http codes, regex, packet headers, common cmdlet's...etc is acceptable in a REAL TIME red team engagement.
@GossiTheDog No but with all due respect, a vulnerability was exploited and although not this time, could have been by a terrorist if they had the means and motive to do so. The point is terrorism is undeniably a facet of cyber security.
@GossiTheDog I'd take a punt that if people drank the overly concentrated sodium hydroxide water hackers hoped to pump out of Oldsmar, Florida treatment plant a few ppl may of died...
#openuniversity assignments summed up: "500 words to go. 400 words to go. 300 words to go. Awesome! only 200 left. bollocks only 15 words spare. Now just to condense these extra 130 words. *spends next 30mins dancing between 498-502 words. BOOM 500 words exactly"
@MikeTalonNYC@gcluley I guess if the ICO deems they did not do enough to prevent or mitigate a realised threat then....well yea all the power to the patient. Without over exaggerating, lives are literally at stake.
@th3gr8tv4l3 @CyberSecurityN8 If you comply with stupidity then therfore your are stupid. If your asked to backup after the fact then it's simply too late. You tell that to whoever asks you to do that (also ask why they're giving instructions without a clue) then revert to the known to be clean backup.
@osborne_neil Nope, doubt they even voted, or have any idea of what they would be voting for I they did. This is just an exercise of the boozed up mob mentality.
