Early 2017 December Links

December 10, 2017

What I'm reading

MacOS High Sierra had a fun bug for accounts. You could keep hitting submit on authentication and get authenticated after a couple of attempts.

Bill Sempf wrote up a good article on performing reconnaissance for a security assessment.

Former NSA Employee pleads guilty to taking classified data.

Hacked password service LeakBase goes dark.

I love this idea of checking in with people, even when there isn't anything to report. It makes people feel much better knowing that you're still on top of things.

Phishing emails and pages are getting better. I consider that a good thing. It's raising the bar for user awareness.

I am fascinated by Docker security. This past week I found an article on 22 security tools for Docker.

Help the Rural Technology Fund introduce 100,000 students to technology.
