when cloudflare takes down 3/4ths of the internet again, but you don't mind because they're a bunch of malware and fascist-enabling fuckwits. Fuck, them, and their stupid fucking lava lamp wall.

Snort 2.9.20 is the version of Snort that we will continue to support for the longest period of time.
TL;DR: If you're a snort 2.9.x user, the writing is on the wall. Several old Snort3 versions and essentially almost all of the 2.9.x releases except the latest one (2.9.20), will no longer have supported rule releases.
Go to an updated, supported version of Snort3, or better yet, go to Suricata.
@Dio9sys god am I so fucking sick of people telling me that its perfectly acceptable to take the sum of human knowledge dump it into some matrix math, and treat the resulting word salad like the miracle of science it truly isn't.
taking a moment to talk about ad blocking as a requirement to keep your users safe on the modern internet. Because this is the hellscape we allowed to happen.
tried the new breakmaker today and made a loaf of basic white. It turned out really well, considering it was done in an hour and a half. super happy about this bread maker.
Senior Security Researcher, Proofpoint Emerging Threats. Digital ArcanistI've been doing this cybersecurity thing for the better part of a decade now. Probably longer than that. I'm starting to forget. Time is relative, but it surely isn't kind to my memory.I'd like to think I do cybersecurity well, but blue teamers collectively get told they're doing it wrong constantly. So maybe I just failed forward throughout my career.Oh, I wrote a book. Its a good framework for setting up a virtual machine lab. See my bookmarked toots if you're curious.Finally, I occasionally write about tech/nerd-related things over at https://www.totes-legit-notmalware.site where I expose that I have a short fuse, and no filter.Work-Related hashtags:#Iocs #ThreatIntel #DFIR #Malware #NSM #suricata #snort #BEC #phishing #APT #ThreatDetectionHobbies:#VideoGames #XCOM2 #Minecraft #Synthetik #Fallout #Skyrim #Anime #Manga #Adventure #Fantasy #Isekai #HomeImprovement #WoodWorking #MetalWorkin
