New post on using #aws #config to interrogate your environment to uncover resources. I've just begun to scratch the surface with Config, but its killer feature for me is finding the account that owns an S3 bucket.

I'm using this tool to legitimately query my AWS account for resources, but it strikes me that this is a great recon tool for pentesters as well -

Be warned, however, that this will light up heuristic monitoring systems like Christmas!

Mind. Blown.

I discovered #pivpn tonight, and within 15 minutes, I had a wireguard vpn using my #pihole configured and accessible from my mobile phone.

Both of these projects deserve kudos and funding. Check out #pivpn if you've ever wanted to host your own VPN.

I think all #infosec practitioners should read this. I've experienced both sides of the security/management divide (as both a consultant and as an internal asset).

This is insightful information for anyone that hasn't been exposed to it personally.

Hey #FSF members - stand up for the rights of students everywhere by asking their schools to switch to #freesoftware - https://my.fsf.org/give-students-userfreedom

(Bonus: you don't have to do anything except fill out a brief form and the FSF will contatct the school on your behalf!)

I'm a couple days late due to vacation, but #riot has become #element!

I just got the family onto #signal, now I need to slowly convince them to join me in the Matrix :)

My #personalcomputing revolutions:

- 1994: I first connected to the Internet
- 1997: #3dfx Voodoo (Quake2 with colored lights? F-yeah! Probably my most significant personal revolution)
- 2007: Core2 Duo doubled my processors
- 2008: Intel X-18M was my first #SSD (arguably this was the most signifcant personal computing revolution)
- 2020: I bought the #logitech m570 trackball and can't go back to a regular mouse (even the recently-released refresh of the MS intellimouse explorer!)

#upgrade

Summer vacation always makes me appreciate air conditioning more than almost anything else

Happy #4th of July!

Big accomplishment this evening: finally removed all documents and personal info from #google drive.

No more:
Gmail - ✅️ (fastmail)
Gmaps - ✅️ (openstreet map)
Google Search - ✅️ (searx)
Google Analytics - ✅️ (none)
Chrome - ✅️ (brave or firefox)
Drive - ✅️ (NAS in the basement + Dropbox backup)

Next step is review https://nomoregoogle.com/ to see what other Google products I'm forgetting.

Fridays are when I typically find myself performing meta-analysis of how well I've been working the past week. Y'know, #productivity and all that...

Today, I stumbled upon the writings of Al Khan and I've found them to be valuable. You might, also, so here:
