I tried this out yesterday and it's incredible: download a 4GB binary, child 755 it and now you have a full LLM and the software needed to run it ready to go, with multiplied operating system platforms supported by that single file

We're thrilled to announce the release of the @Intel471Inc Attack Surface Protection suite of solutions, enabling organizations worldwide to identify, manage, and protect their digital footprint from sophisticated cyber threats. https://t.co/JhAJRHRiVf

@halvarflake What about at least explaining what the “decisions that led us here” were. Otherwise it’s a pretty hollow statement.

[osint_matter @MatterOsint]

I would like to thank everyone for the amazing support received so far, it really matters to me.

1/ Just want to put this news in plain language for people.

Senior people at Twitter have resigned in the last 48 hours. We now now why. They said in private Slack channels that @elonmusk is so desperate to recoup his money, he’s taking crazy risks with YOUR privacy and safety.

My new #osint book Deep Dive: Exploring the Real-world Value of Open Source Intelligence is now open for preorder!

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

Browsing through infosec mastodon gives me a 1998 IRC vibe

@Sector035 Thank you!

@WebBreacher Thanks Micah, you’ve certainly been with me on this journey from the early beginnings :)

An odd infosec-startup secret is how low the bar is, even from a business p.o.v.

People think they need Facebook numbers, but if you have 2000 happy, paying customers, you will be better than huge swaths of the RSAC floor.

More hax0rs should try. We need more things that work..

@jcran Interesting.. wasn’t aware of YARA’s applicability for logs as well. Just found this: https://t.co/hhvWsQjVfG

[Steve Micallef @binarypool]

What’s a good, lightweight open source tool for receiving server logs (eg from fluent-bit or similar) and applying a rule-set to raise alerts on events of concern?
