@elonmusk By "all-time high", are you talking about drugs? Or are you holding the usage graph upside down?

@rafigh_nabob @thedarktangent @TribeOfHackers @NathanMcNulty @jaysonstreet @LitMoose @hdmoore This is going to be my new way to address @thedarktangent and other security professionals: "Hey jeff what’s up? We really need a cyber attack bro"

Given #Twitter in its current state, if @elonmusk wanted to sell, how much would you be willing to pay to own #Twitter?

While I'll keep this twitter account (as long as it is free), I've moved most of my activity and updates to mastodon: @[email protected]

101 = odd parity
"I am Elon Musk" = odd parody

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

@elonmusk Just to be clear: You overpaid $44B so you could run a political ad. Moreover, you didn't run the ad until most of the viewers had already left AND the ad sponsor (you) had lost all credibility. #fail

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

Due to the ongoing (mental) instability and increasing untrustworthiness on Twitter, I've removed the direct posting links to Twitter from FotoForensics.

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

@elonmusk Why is your trending tweets system promoting a hashtag that is associated with child pornography? Does @twitter still have someone who can report these to NCMEC?

@Pin__Terest Rack mounted. All power and external network come from ceiling drops. So, yeah, big power cables are separate from in-rack network cables.

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

Just spend a few hours trying to figure out why the router wasn't opening for test service. Turns out, I was trying to configure the wrong router. (Doh!) Time to start up the label maker!

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

@Pin__Terest I also label power cables, for the same reason.

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

@Pin__Terest Each tag has the HW server name (not hostname) and the network name. This way, I can easily see that every cable in a hub is on the same network AND which machine it at the other end.

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

@Pin__Terest I ended up going to the machine room and tracing cables. That's when I realized that I was configuring router #7 and tracing the cable to router #9. Router #9 was unlabeled (not anymore!) I use my laser cutter to make custom tags on every cable end, so tracing was easy.

@campuscodi Honest question: Here's what I don't get. They KNOW they are going to get kicked off of cloudflare, digital ocean, google, aws, azure, etc., so why do they always start there?

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

Long ago, a little kid asked that I did. I told him computer security research. He asked what that meant, and I replied "I make grown ups cry." He totally got it.

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

@mekarpeles @Twitter How soon before IA announces their net neutral social network?

[Dr. Neal Krawetz @hackerfactor]

I eagerly await your response.

My friend is concerned about security on Twitter, so this encrypted message is for him:
