My son is taking a cybersecurity class at the career center, he is normally a C/D student - straight A's in cybersecurity.
He had a pop quiz today and he was like dude, these things are so hard. I was like - "OK just fire off the quiz questions to me."
Mason: "Whats telnet port?"
Me instantly: "23"
Pop3 / 110
RDP? 3389
FTP? 20/21
DNS? 53
HTTP? 80
HTTPS? 443
Mason: "alright tough one... what steps would you do if you couldn't RDP to a server?"
Me: "port scan, is it open? No? Firewall issue or RDP isn't enabled on that system or... using old version of RDP due to CredSSP."
Mason: "OK, you the goat. Dad, you actually know your stuff."
"And you can too, just keep going dude, I started from the same point you did, all about stacking that knowledge."

We just blocked over 5,000 botfarm accounts. Interesting they all pivoted from their passion for Ukraine to Canada at the exact same moment. Most originated from Chinese Communist Party PLA efforts using Canadian, US and UK IP addresses.

I see all the CCaaS noise. The CCaaS carriers added UC. They are going down market. NICE has a promo for 150 seats or less. Talkdesk is at $60 seat. Too many providers. Too much Yak-Yak-Yak. Businesses need Solutions, not hype or noise or a roadmap.

I always find it interesting to hear "enterprise communications". Most businesses are not enterprise. Enterprise is about 30K companies. 32M businesses are SMB! So go talk about Enterprise, but the majority of the market happens in SMB

Hezbollah says Israel is dropping leaflets with very dangerous QR codes. It would seem a bad idea to visit a QR code dropped in a war zone.

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: In a landmark 9-0 ruling on Wednesday that you will never hear about in the media, the US Supreme Court has undercut all DEI-based discrimination, sending the Marxists into a tizzy.
The US Supreme Court's ruling that a St. Louis police sergeant can sue over a job transfer she claims was discriminatory lays the foundation for legal action against employers who push discrimination against white people in job hiring, work assignment and promotion. That’s right, those “diversity-preferred” job postings, the practice of passing over whites for promotions, discriminatory job transfers, pushing unfair diversity trainings, etc…all of these are now legally actionable.
The ruling was championed by human rights groups as "an enormous win for workers,” but has lawyers for companies like Disney warning that it could have a chilling effect on employers' diversity initiatives.
Disney’s "Pale and Male is Stale" policy is a prime example. Disney has allegedly used it to drive out white animators by giving them the worst assignments, even though they them have the most experience, skill, and seniority, in order to make the job humiliating enough that they quit…which many of them have done.
The same companies argue that there is ‘good discrimination’ and “bad discrimination’, that white people should be purposely disadvantaged to pave the way for diversity. The lawyers stated that the decision will ‘complicate’ DEI programs and limit their ability to discriminate against white men.
The Supreme Court torpedoed these claims, re-asserting that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. Further, the court has established a relatively ‘low standard’ for bringing discrimination cases. The victim need not suffer ‘actual harm’. An employee only must show "some harm" under the terms of their employment, AND that harm need not be "material," "substantial" or "serious." The decision makes it much easier for workers to sue over discriminatory practices.
This is a big win for equality!
