Support OpenSSH Development

Do you use OpenSSH? I use it on every Unix system I own. I decided to answer the call to support OpenSSH development in two ways.

First, I ordered a CD set of the upcoming OpenBSD 3.9 distribution. That was $45 + $4 shipping.

Second, I donated $51 through PayPal for direct support of OpenSSH.

I figured that since I sent $100 to Colin to support FreeBSD, I'd send $100 to OpenBSD as well. Would you (or your company) consider doing the same? Thank you.

I've done both already. I think this is a good idea. I'm going to as my company to help.

I plan on buying a 3.9 cd set and a t-shirt soon. Since I setup the DNS servers at my present employer running OpenBSD 2 years ago, I make sure that we purchase a cd set each year. This just makes sense.

After reading /. on Tuesday I did just that. $45 for the 3.9 CD + $100 donation. Then this morning I read your blog from Sunday. Too funny.

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...
