@ciaranmartinoxf What a game. Such fine margins.

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@ciaranmartinoxf A properly exciting game, a proper test. Good to see Ireland being challenged especially as it’s by England for once.

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@RidT @KimZetter @alperovitch @SAISHopkins Fantastic news!

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@ciaranmartinoxf Maybe scrub HB Gary from the list

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@ciaranmartinoxf Empirically, over the last (say) 15 years some DDoS operations, Shamoon, Estonia 2007, HB Gary, maybe Diginotar (depending on OC definition, of course) have been more akin to OC benchmarks of their time. Examples not exhaustive, btw.

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@ciaranmartinoxf Completely agree. It skewed the debate and expectations, in a sense establishing an abnormal normal - which was anything but.

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@ciaranmartinoxf Followed by two gems from RSA but ultimately good play and game management by IRE.

@KimZetter @SecretService @juanandres_gs @ryanaraine We all know the grandee on the lower bill but who’s the interloper on the top one? Not LABSCON for sure, likely a counterfeit.

Props I think to IG@captainchris but happy to be corrected.

Extraordinary image. Last weekend’s Falcon 9 launch seen from the flight deck of an A350. Image shared privately with me.

@C_C_Krebs @labscon_io @juanandres_gs @LabsSentinel @RidT @DAlperovitch @markrussinovich @EmilyKrebs6 Yes, outstanding in all regards. A shame you missed Baby Shark feat. Cyber Crims on the last night.

@RidT Taking the context at face value, the term signals wouldn’t generally be used. Bearers: yes. Channels: possibly. But that would depend also on the era of the technology. Do you have further context, including when the statement was made?

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@ciaranmartinoxf Sort of an Eric Morecambe password - all the right letters, just not in the right order.

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@RidT Good one. Reminiscent of the Miles Kington/Punch column Let’s parler franglais.

@GossiTheDog No sign of me Julie?

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@reid24hrs Congrats!

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@RidT :-) yes, I got that. But probably like others I lament the hijacking specifically of “crypto” especially when the the cryptographic technique typically used in a cc core is such a limited subset of the cryptographic whole.

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@RidT …while in a security (non-cryptanalytic) context crypt might refer to the algorithm - “it’s an interesting system but I’m not sure we’d trust the crypt.”

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@RidT Thomas - there’s another subtlety here, though. On the slide crypt appears to be a shorthand for cryptanalysis, not cryptography. Crypto was (is?) used as a shorthand for cryptographic devices or techniques…

[Richard Bach @BachCES]

@RidT Yes, I agree. Acknowledging this complexity and nuance, something I’ve had in mind for a while is a taxonomy of integrity attacks. Something for your undergrads to consider, perhaps?
