Installing FreeBSD Java Binaries

I just posted about the new FreeBSD Java packages. I figured I would try them out and show how the process works. It's been a while since I last described installing Java, back when compiling from source was required.

After downloading the binary for FreeBSD 6.0, I tried to install it.

orr:/tmp# ls -al diablo-jdk-freebsd6-1.5.0.06.00.tbz

pkg_add: could not find package javavmwrapper-2.0_5 !

That didn't work. Let me add the package it requires.

To see if it worked, I tried launching the Java program Metacoretex. Since I could get the program to run, it looks like the Java binaries are operating properly.

I did the same by using FreeBSD6.1RC1 and stable packages.
I'm also using xorg6.9.
To test it I run jedit (jedit.org) and it works like a charm!

Thanks for this post! I just finished installing the jdk on FreeBSD 6.1 and this was very helpful for that.

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

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

  I've completed the TaoSecurity Blog book series . The new book is  The Best of TaoSecurity Blog, Volume 4: Beyond the Blog with Articles, Testimony, and Scholarship .  It's available now for Kindle , and I'm working on the print edition.  I'm running a 50% off promo on Volumes 1-3 on Kindle through midnight 20 April.

Volume 4 offers early white papers that Mr. Bejtlich wrote as a network defender, either for technical or pol
