Cool F-15s over Cape Canaveral Photos

This is probably going to kill my bandwidth, but I thought you might like these two cool photos of F-15s flying over Kennedy Space Center during an unidentified Shuttle mission. I received them from a buddy who is still in the Air Force, but they may not be anything related to the latest mission. The photo at left shows an F-15 flying by the Space Shuttle as it sits on the launch pad. The photo at right shows an F-15 flying with the Shuttle roaring towards Earth orbit. I got a ride in the two-seat F-15E Strike Eagle as a cadet at the Air Force Academy in the summer of 1992.

Thanks for your comment. All of the photos in the link you sent were in the same batch from which I drew the two I posted. I have modified my post to indicate I don't know for sure when these photos were taken.

Neat!
Those photos were most probably taken from another F-15 flying formation.
Richard, got to say I envy you for flying on an F-15 :)
Better than that only a flight on an F-14 launching from a carrier!
Ok.... got a better one... Spaceshuttle!!! :D

Has anyone witnessed a launch live?

Zeek in Action Videos

Image
This is a quick note to point blog readers to my Zeek in Action YouTube video series for the Zeek network security monitoring project .  Each video addresses a topic that I think might be of interest to people trying to understand their network using Zeek and adjacent tools and approaches, like Suricata, Wireshark, and so on.  I am especially pleased with Video 6 on monitoring wireless networks . It took me several weeks to research material for this video. I had to buy new hardware and experiment with a Linux distro that I had not used before -- Parrot .  Please like and subscribe, and let me know if there is a topic you think might make a good video.

MITRE ATT&CK Tactics Are Not Tactics

Image
Just what are "tactics"? Introduction MITRE ATT&CK  is a great resource, but something about it has bothered me since I first heard about it several years ago. It's a minor point, but I wanted to document it in case it confuses anyone else. The MITRE ATT&CK Design and Philosophy document from March 2020 says the following: At a high-level, ATT&CK is a behavioral model that consists of the following core components: • Tactics, denoting short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack; • Techniques, describing the means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals; • Sub-techniques, describing more specific means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals at a lower level than techniques; and • Documented adversary usage of techniques, their procedures, and other metadata. My concern is with MITRE's definition of "tactics" as "short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack," which is oddly recursive. The key word in the tacti...
