New TaoSecurity Layout

I've decided to try a new layout and enable Title and Links explicitly in the posts. Over the past year or more I've received multiple messages about feed issues and so on, so maybe this will help.

Looks good; I can see post titles in snownews on OpenBSD -current now.

Nice!

Sorry, I get too much blog spam to eliminate the CAPTCHA.

Of course the site renders well in Firefox, but my Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 messes up the right hand column. Sigh.

First thought was, Why change the look?" Second thought was, "It's the content that matters - the quality." That's why I keep coming back to your blog, Richard.

Richard: as a devoted reader, I would like to gently lodge my vote against this layout. I know you have *lots* of people feeding this blog, and the most served should win. I liked the wide "non-blog" look of the posts prior to this. That said, I'd read your stuff it I had to run it through babbelfish. My $0.02.

Hi Randall,

I agree with the width issue -- that is my only complaint at the moment.

If I can find a way around that, I might alter the layout.

Thanks for your support though!

Thanks for the redesign. Works a lot better in my rssreader.

Richard, change the width of #content to 800 and the width of #main to 545. Almost no one uses anything less than 800x600 these days. That will widen the post part slightly. My most recent stats show that only 16% of viewers use 800x600, so you might even consider pushing it to 900 and 645.

Looks clean and respectable (not that it didn't look clean and respectable before) and the RSS problems appear to now be resolved (using Liferea on Linux).

Typical of Blogger though to break things so that such changes are necessary to fix the RSS issue.

Ok, I just modified the template. Because the template used images (like this) for rounding corners, I had to strip those out. Now the page width is improved, however.

The new layout looks much cleaner and is much easier to read now. Good work on the update!

The new site looks are sharp and clean. Good work.

A suggestion -- if you use Firefox, you can make HTML validation easier with Marc Gueury's HTML Validator extension. Since it uses a local copy of the W3C tidy library, you can validate local files without having to either upload them or make them reachable from public IP space. It also turns your "Show source" window into a basic HTML debugger that lists hints on what the problem might be. I can't recommend it highly enough.

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...
