Top Gun: Maverick ends with Tom Cruise unable to land his F-35C because a flaw in his helmet makes it impossible to see the carrier’s landing lights. He ditches the $100 million plane and the Navy vows a software update will fix the glitch, which has existed since 2012.

Holy shit ⁦@Namecheap⁩, the FUD ⁦@letsencrypt⁩ has had to debunk here is just insane. It’s not just the barbs thrown to selfishly protect your commercial interests, it’s the fundamental misunderstandings of how certs even work. https://t.co/RKYrRmu8Vq

The infosec professional life cycle:
1. I don't know anything and I'm terrified
2. I know a little and I am God's gift to InfoSec
3. I know a lot and I'm back to being terrified

Don't just look at unusual traffic coming into your network... Always be curious about unusual traffic leaving your network. Your network is not a castle so don't just trust a moat! #SecOps

An airgap firewall can be breached. Always try and think like an attacker. #SecOps

Haven't used @Ansible in months. Faced with total anarchy in a new (to me) test lab. 2 hour refresher => all VMs patched, audited and fully managed. Phew! :-D #ReturnToDevOps #DevOps

[Mark Burnett @m8urnett]

Typical forum question: How do I do this?

1st comment: Why would you even want to do this?

Comments 2-8: Arguing why to do or not do it.

Comment 9, 2yrs later: Did you ever figure out how to do this?

I caught my cat running out of my office with my yubikey in his mouth--a threat model I hadn't considered.

How you think open source libraries are maintained ...

[Andy Thornicroft @apthorn]

It certainly is! Z80 CPU @ 1.77MHz. 16k RAM. Level 2 BASIC. 500 bits/sec data transfer rate to tape! #livingthedream ;-) https://t.co/VLCZZGeKND

@apthorn @troyhunt @CodeCombat Is that a radioshack cassette player ?

[Andy Thornicroft @apthorn]

@troyhunt @CodeCombat [mutter] There was nothing like this when I was learning TRS #BASIC back in 1979 on one of these! [/mutter] :-D #TRS80 #Tandy

[Troy Hunt @troyhunt]

My 8-year-old son just got assigned code homework using @CodeCombat. This rocks - really visually engaging and object orientated too!

When part of your code doesn’t have tests

I've had to buy a whole new PC because of #Spectre and #Meltdown.

Please don't tell my wife and spoil this for me.

[Andy Thornicroft @apthorn]

@VicLMiles @InfoSecHotSpot Ah... But Level 1 or Level 2 BASIC? :-D #GreenScreen
