So I always like to go "What would have happened had a Marine done this in Afghanistan" and it's so obvious in this case as to make the exercise moot.

I will be speaking at @kernelcon.bsky.social on Fri, Apr 3rd. The talk will cover previously-unreported features of the sedexp Linux malware found in the wild - including loading of a memory-only rootkit! Talk will cover how the rootkit was discovered & how to analyze with @volatilityfoundation.org

tcpdump, wireshark - can’t be beat.
I surprise myself with how I often I ask about the pcap for a given thing (iykyk). And I’m just some dumb dumb LtCol Marine 😂

Yet again, I remind you that if you work in cybersecurity, you will never not benefit from learning packet analysis. Yes, there are tools for that. But when they fail (and oh buddy do they fail), your ability to perform independent analysis is critical.

Headlines retrospectively discussing the “sinister turn” in China nexus intrusion for OPE are telling. No, this wasn’t just a new problem in ‘24; they have been ongoing since at least ‘08 if not earlier. You are just now noticing.

I have a pretty damn talented, and aggressive team. I’m lucky to get the chance to lead them in our mission. Quiet recognition, for a quiet mission. Great Marines and Civilians doing good work.

Random, but: my dad worked for Keebler -> Kellogg’s for 27ish years. I loved these chips and Tater Skins as a kid and always had them around. Sad day when the whole Keebler chip line was killed off.
O'Boisies (1988-circa 1992): The precursor to the 'pop chip', these "potato snacks" featured crunchy air bubbles and enough salt to defrost the roads of Western NY in February. Came in original flavor, sour cream & onion, and BBQ
