Rust tool to make DNS queries: ~mvforell/toluol – sourcehut git

[Wayback/Archive] ~mvforell/toluol – sourcehut git: Rust tool to make DNS queries

From [Archive] Max on Twitter: “@b0rk Shameless plug of an alternative to dig I’ve written: … It’s not complete yet (it can’t do what dig +trace does), but it’s getting there :) I’m also planning to add coloured output to make it more readable. …” / Twitter

In a reaction to [Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “I wish dig‘s output actually looked like this? I feel like there’s no reason (except compatibility or whatever) that it has to be as unreadable of it is …” / Twitter

All the Cyber Ladies: Een podcast voor, door en over vrouwen in cybersecurity. – PodcastFeed

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/20

Een ontzettend belangrijke podcast is [Wayback/Archive] All the Cyber Ladies – PodcastFeed

Een podcast voor, door en over vrouwen in cybersecurity.

Ik mis geregeld de periode van 30-35 jaar terug waarin IT-teams vaak “gewoon” uit 25% vrouwen bestonden. Gemêleerde teams zijn van onschatbare waarde voor goed functionerende IT, niet alleen vanuit oogpunt van #a11y en #inclusie: ook voor information security.

De tijd maakt inmiddels gelukkig een inhaalslag: er komen steeds meer vrouwen in de IT en je merkt gestaag dat teams diverser worden. All the Cyber Ladies draagt eraan bij dat proces binnen information security verder te versnellen.

De podcast is begin juni dit jaar van start gegaan en heeft nu al een trouwe schare volgers die hopelijk verder groeit naarmate Google deze hoger in de zoek-index opneemt.

Uiteraard is er ook een [Wayback/Archive] All the Cyber Ladies – PodcastFeed RSS zodat je die aan je eigen Podcast Player kunt toevoegen (en vaak staat die er al zoals bijvoorbeeld bij [Wayback/Archive] Player.FM: All The Cyber Ladies podcast)

Via [Wayback/Archive] Lucinda on Twitter: “@jpluimers Zeker!! Je kan de podcast in veel andere players vinden. https://t.co/ksUB8Hd7e4” / Twitter.

Removing identifiable metada from PDF files

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/19

I archived a long thread that started with [Archive] 𝚓𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚢﹏𝚜𝚊𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜 on Twitter: “More fun publisher surveillance: Elsevier embeds a hash in the PDF metadata that is unique for each time a PDF is downloaded, this is a diff between metadata from two of the same paper. Combined with access timestamps, they can uniquely identify the source of any shared PDFs. ” / Twitter at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @json_dirs on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App.

TL;DR: publishers put hashes in PDF metadata to track back redistribution; they hardly use smarter watermarking as those are difficult to automatically parse; the hashes can be easily removed.

For my link archive: ISO links to openSUSE Leap 15.5 – Get openSUSE

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/15

For my link archive some ISO links via [Wayback/Archive] openSUSE Leap 15.5 – Get openSUSE as I am steadily working my way back into IT and Software Development so I was anxious to see what has changed on this front. In the past I usually ran OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, but now I am going for OpenSuSE Leap versions that are stable for a longer period of time as per [Wayback/Archive] Lifetime – openSUSE Wiki

Leap Major Release (15.x) extends maintenance and support until a successor. At present, a successor has not been declared; Leap 15’s lifecycle fully aligns with SUSE Linux Enterprise. There is a projection as of March 2021 that Leap 15 will extend to Leap 15.5. The previous major version of Leap, 42, was supported for more than 36 months, while the current major version of Leap, 15, would then have up to 72 months of support (12×6).

There is always an XKCD: «xkcd: Is It Worth the Time?»

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/09

The Bookmarklets posts have mostly reached past the front of the blog queue, so here goes a tweet from last year:

[Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “The past week, I learned a ton of HTML, JavaScript and (Shadow) DOM oddities while writing browser bookmarklets to speed up my blogging and @waybackmachine / @archiveis archiving. There is always an XKCD: «xkcd: Is It Worth the Time?» …” / Twitter

How to encourage phishing: send email to users from a different domain than they are subscribed to

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/08

Many organisations train their personell with phishing attempts from domains that are different from the one the organisation uses.

The mantra is: only respond to emails (or clicking links in them) from domains you know.

Microsoft sent (still sends?) account expiration emails for various *.microsoft.com, *.visualstudio.com and other Microsoft domains like this:
