@security_paranoid In addition to those, there are also several "manufactured indigence" comments directed to me personally that are not "just trying to help" Maybe one needs thicker skin than average there is all.
@JourneymanGeek which IP addresses are associated with people who "aren't as concerned with exotic attack vectors"? I'm asking for a friend. (humor)
@security_paranoid "Do you understand what I’m trying to say?" Not quite, but if you tell me I'm paranoid and tell me to get on with my life a few times, it might help?
but practically the secret is really to just focus, and find cheats. I used to do RSS feeds to find stuff to answer, I leave chat on, and figure people will ping me. The 'spammer nuke' room means I don't need to look for spammers - there's a lot to be said for letting the community do the work, and do what they can't do
You can get a lot done in say half an hour or an hour a day
(that said, my previous job was monitoring, and I worked shifts, so SE stuff helped me stay awake during the boring bits :D)
the spammer cannery is a good example of getting a lot done with very little actual effort
the users report spammers, I take a peek every couple of hours, and people see a measurable impact on a problem
Hello Don't know whether someone here would be able to help me out
I am trying to configure snort for it to detect port scans using sfportscan. It seems like it is able to detect the first port scan but not the subsequent ones. I read the applicable documentation and tried reading snort's source code to understand why that is the case or how to configure it so it logs every time someone tries to port scan. WIthout success.
The entry I have in `snort.conf`: `preprocessor sfportscan: proto { all } scan_type { all } sense_level { low } logfile { alertPortScan}`
@JourneymanGeek Something tells me you are familiar with snort :p
I despise people that have pages and pages of error messages and instead of sending the text, screenshot the pages, paste to a docx document, attach to an email and send... WHY?
I should write the answer, send to any text2speech service, encode the wav file in base64 and send back as a series of bmp files...
you have to screenshot the console, open Word, paste, go back to console, scroll down, take anothe screenshot, go back... select all -> copy is even quicker!
4 pages of screenshots... I refused to answer anything and sent one line back asking for the text instead...
and the situation is even worse than it seems: I'm from infra, and the problem seems to be a JCL error, so it's operator error. It's not even my jurisdiction, and I have to identify the issue to prove to everyone that isn't an infrastructure issue.
I know they should be the ones proving it's an infrastructure issue, but in this account it is what it is...
youtube shorts feeds me a lot of "trainspotting" videos. This station looked interesting, I wanted to check the location youtube.com/shorts/CEWardxKnNY I paste some of the text into Google translate, and I get the following. How do they do that! :-)
