packetized··on New Video of F-117s Flying Out of Tonopah Despite Their Fates Being Sealed
I would say all of that is part of the process of stripping low-RCS paint.

Well, mostly the process of stripping their low-RCS paint.

packetized··on Gravwell Community Edition: A Splunk Alternative Built with Go
Generally, I agree with you - but it’s 2018, and I can’t see how hyping a SaaS by name dropping Golang is actually hyping anything.
packetized··on Gravwell Community Edition: A Splunk Alternative Built with Go
Why does it matter what it’s built with, if it’s closed-source?
packetized··on Netflix introduces Lemur: x.509 certificate orchestration (2015)
User-operated self-service for certificate issuance isn't exactly a cut and dried proposition for most orgs. Lemur helps in a lot of ways.
packetized··on Netflix introduces Lemur: x.509 certificate orchestration (2015)
To be fair, Vault and Lemur cover slightly different use cases. Lemur is nice for controlling the distribution of certs from a variety of issuers, including Vault.
packetized··on Netflix introduces Lemur: x.509 certificate orchestration (2015)
Could we add a (2015) tag here? Lemur’s been around for quite a while.
packetized··on How to manage any kind of secret with AWS Secrets Manager
I’ve had, at best, lukewarm experiences with AWS customer support. Anecdata it may be, but this seems to be largely in-line with the experiences of my peer group, professionally.
packetized··on Will Kubernetes Collapse Under the Weight of Its Complexity?
Not sure why the downvotes; merely pointing out that Betteridge’s Law is once again proven out.
packetized··on Will Kubernetes Collapse Under the Weight of Its Complexity?
tl;dr: author believes “No”.

Betteridge’s Law still applies.

packetized··on Florida city warns of 'extreme zombie activity' during power outage
Reminds me of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16809222
packetized··on Should I just stop attempting to make these trivial patches? (2004)
Could someone kindly add a [2004] tag?

for varying values of dangerous.
packetized··on AlwaysOnSSL – A free and automated CA
Precisely. This should not be a thing that can happen on a page that allows one to request and receive certificates rooted in trust stores.
packetized··on AlwaysOnSSL – A free and automated CA
This is a tragically insecure site already; the only thing keeping JS injection at bay is apparently regex matching for `script` in the id-verify page.

Note: it does not filter for SCRIPT. e.g.: https://alwaysonssl.com/id-verify/%3Ch1%3E%27%27%3B%21--%22%...

packetized··on Getting any Facebook user's friend list and partial payment card details
First six and last four are the limits for display set out by the PCI Security Standards Council. The things you should never store with the PAN are the PIN/PIN block or CVC/CVV.

packetized··on It’s time to ditch SMS-based 2 Factor Auth
What about being targeted for $40k in your 401k? How about your one-or-two-letter Twitter nick?

These are things that have actually happened.

HTPB, unburnt ammonium perchlorate, aluminum powder.

packetized··on It’s time to ditch SMS-based 2 Factor Auth
Any ‘push’ method to an app will end up being more secure than pure SMS 2FA, because it’s relatvely hard to MITM/hijack it, unlike social engineering your way into porting a cell number.
packetized··on Disabling Docker ICC still allows raw ethernet communication between containers
Except for this, I presume?

packetized··on Tech Start-Up Fires Engineers Amid Union Organizing Effort
I have a parent that was wholly failed by the CWA after 24 years of service at C&W, South Central Bell, and BellSouth. I’m glad that you have an anecdote to share, but please don’t think they’re the norm.
packetized··on How Slack Stays Secure During Hyper Growth
It’s somewhat harder to be a Searchable Log of All (Company|Current) Knowledge if you utilize end-to-end encryption. Where are the ends?
packetized··on Professional Dress Code Tips
“Not true, it’s just changed.”

...so you mean out of style?

packetized··on Professional Dress Code Tips
I would argue that this kind of social signaling is exceptionally secondary to “can they do the job as expected?”
packetized··on Professional Dress Code Tips
If the next sentence was “The skirt allows for ease of access,” it would not shock me one single bit.

This is pretty insanely regressive.

packetized··on Professional Dress Code Tips
This dress code, much like “Oracle consulting”, has gone out of style.

YubiHSM2 doesn’t do m-of-n in hardware.
packetized··on Three Uber security managers resign after CEO criticizes practices
I fear that you might be drastically, tragically understating the importance of that title - even in SV.
