How to survive in the work from home era
How to survive in the work from home eraMarian Marinov This document discusses strategies for working securely from home. It covers hardware availability and security issues when working remotely. On the hardware side, it recommends having backup equipment like a second laptop or WiFi in case of equipment failure. For security, it emphasizes that convenience often comes at the cost of security. The biggest security risks are viruses, malware, and phishing attacks. It provides strategies for securing the operating system, browser, and email client to reduce these risks, such as using separate profiles, disabling remote content loading, and not automatically opening files. Virtual machines are recommended for opening suspicious files to isolate any potential compromise. Overall, the document stresses balancing security with convenience when working remotely.
Practical Exploitation - Webappy Style
Practical Exploitation - Webappy StyleRob Fuller The document discusses practical exploitation techniques used by penetration testers and red teams. It outlines the speaker's background as a senior red teamer who breaks into various systems like mainframes, bank accounts, SCADA systems, and web applications. The speaker defines practical exploitation as applying techniques, tactics, and procedures to accomplish objectives within a targeted engagement. The speaker then demonstrates three exploits: 1) Using a Linux pivot to exploit MS08_067 on Windows, 2) Exploiting a Rails vulnerability to steal credentials using Mimikatz on Windows, and 3) Using a Windows pivot to exploit DistCC on Linux via WinRM on IIS. The speaker emphasizes patching vulnerabilities and not enabling services like WinRM on DMZ

Red team upgrades using sccm for malware deployment
Red team upgrades using sccm for malware deploymentenigma0x3 The document discusses using System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) to deploy malware laterally across an enterprise network. Specifically, it describes how an attacker with access to an SCCM server could (1) create packages containing PowerShell payloads, (2) deploy those packages to targeted groups of machines, and (3) rely on SCCM agents to fetch and execute the payloads without generating additional network traffic. The document argues that abusing SCCM in this way allows for strategic, targeted malware deployment while blending in with normal enterprise traffic.

20170926 Inter-Actief Lunchtalk Jair SantannaUniversity of Twente This document discusses DDoS attacks and their evolution from early attacks to current booter services. It aims to teach about the concept of DDoS attacks, how they have evolved over time, the damage they can cause, and their current form through booter services. The document outlines how booters work, how they can be monitored and distinguished based on their attack traffic, and the third parties like payment systems and web hosts that indirectly support their operations. It suggests there are legal and ethical arguments that third parties could take mitigation actions against booters.

How Financial Institutions Must Enforce DevOps Organizational Policy
How Financial Institutions Must Enforce DevOps Organizational PolicyTamir Belzer Enterprises' transition to Agile development has led to a dramatic increase in the number of releases and development cycles. It has also intensified the challenges of controlling, tracking, and auditing changes to the application and database. This has led to critical errors, data loss, and costly downtime.
Continuous delivery
Continuous deliveryMasas Dani This document discusses several anti-patterns related to manual software deployments including extensive documentation, reliance on manual testing, unpredictable releases, and lack of collaboration between development and operations teams. It advocates for automating deployments to make them repeatable and frequent in order to reduce risk and provide quick feedback. Continuous delivery of software through practices like blue-green deployments and canary releases is recommended to satisfy customers.
How to successfully migrate to DevOps .pdf
How to successfully migrate to DevOps .pdfMarian Marinov The document discusses considerations for adopting DevOps practices. It compares traditional system administration approaches to infrastructure deployment versus using DevOps tools like Terraform and Nomad. While tools abstract complexity, it is important to understand the underlying systems. When adopting DevOps, teams should ensure adequate expertise in tools, thoroughly test deployments, and document environments. Abstraction through tools can cause issues if providers do not support needed functionality or changes require modifying tool configurations instead of the systems directly.

DevOps in 2014
DevOps in 2014David Thompson A talk about DevOps that I gave at a SysARmy meetup while visiting MuleSoft's Buenos Aires DevOps team. I've been thinking a lot recently about what DevOps is, what it means to be a DevOps Engineer (or in my case a DevOps Engineering Manager). Putting this together was really helpful to clarify some ideas I've been kicking around.
Devops (start walking in the same direction) by ops
Devops (start walking in the same direction) by opsDemis Rizzotto This document discusses DevOps and how to facilitate collaboration between development and operations teams. It outlines some of the core conflicts that arise from opposing goals of Dev and Ops. Key aspects of DevOps covered include automating deployments, integrating operations knowledge into development, extending development practices to operations, treating security as a shared responsibility, and focusing on collaboration through communication, documentation, and metrics. Automating infrastructure, implementing immutable systems, and treating infrastructure as code are also recommended.
Lessons from DevOps: Taking DevOps practices into your AppSec Life
Lessons from DevOps: Taking DevOps practices into your AppSec LifeMatt Tesauro Bruce Lee once said “Don’t get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water“.
AppSec needs to look beyond itself for answers to solving problems since we live in a world of every increasing numbers of apps. Technology and apps have invaded our lives, so how to you lead a security counter-insurgency? One way is to look at the key tenants of DevOps and apply those that make sense to your approach to AppSec. Something has to change as the application landscape is already changing around us.
Case Study for Task Management System for Oraganization
Case Study for Task Management System for OraganizationMike Taylor The document discusses a task management system case study created by Brainvire Infotech Pvt. Ltd. The system aimed to streamline business processes, provide access control and security, and allow teams to coordinate tasks. The team faced challenges like supporting multiple BlackBerry versions and implementing push notifications across iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. Technologies used included PhoneGap, Cordova, .NET, and databases. The system provided features like centralized task tracking, notifications, and file sharing to help teams manage work.

Ncerc rlmca202 adm m1 ssmssmarar The document discusses principles of continuous delivery and deployment pipelines. It introduces the concept of a deployment pipeline which is an automated implementation of building, deploying, testing and releasing an application. Every change triggers a new instance of the pipeline which first creates binaries and installers, runs tests on them, and once all tests pass, releases the candidate. The goal is to deliver software as quickly as possible by having an automated and reliable process.

Tell me how you provision and I'll tell you how you areJuan Vicente Herrera Ruiz de Alejo Talk in TechParty 2019.
DevOps word in itself is a combination of two words;
One is Development and other is Operations. It is neither
an application nor a tool; instead, it is just a culture to
promote development and Operation process
collaboratively.
In other words, we can say that DevOps is the process of
alignment of IT and development operations with better
and improved communication

Control your service resources with systemd Marian Marinov This document discusses using systemd to manage control groups (cGroups) and set resource limits for processes and services. It describes how systemd simplified cGroup management by creating a cGroup for each service and allowing configuration via service files and drop-in files. Specific configuration options like memory and CPU limits can be set directly in the service file, via a slice file that multiple services reference, or using systemctl commands. Systemd provides unified management of cGroups and services.

Comparison of-foss-distributed-storageMarian Marinov This document summarizes Marian Marinov's testing and experience with various distributed filesystems including CephFS, GlusterFS, MooseFS, OrangeFS, and BeeGFS. Some key findings are:
- CephFS requires significant resources but lacks redundancy for small clusters. GlusterFS offers redundancy but can have high CPU usage.
- MooseFS and OrangeFS were easy to setup but MooseFS offered better reliability and stats.
- Performance testing found MooseFS and NFS+Ceph to have better small file creation times than GlusterFS and OrangeFS. Network latency was identified as a major factor impacting distributed filesystem performance.
- Tuning efforts focused on NFS

Securing your MySQL server
Securing your MySQL serverMarian Marinov MySQL security is not trivial. This presentation will walk you trough some of the more important decisions you have to take, when configuring a MySQL server instance
Sysadmin vs. dev ops
Sysadmin vs. dev opsMarian Marinov This document compares and contrasts the roles of system administrators (sysadmins) and DevOps engineers. It discusses that sysadmins are primarily focused on installing, configuring, and maintaining operating systems, software, and company products on local servers and PCs. DevOps engineers, on the other hand, work with cloud platforms, APIs, infrastructure as code, automation tools, and focus on monitoring through tools like Elasticsearch and Prometheus. It also provides examples of how sysadmins and DevOps engineers differ in their approaches to configuration management, monitoring, and debugging infrastructure issues.
DoS and DDoS mitigations with eBPF, XDP and DPDK
DoS and DDoS mitigations with eBPF, XDP and DPDKMarian Marinov The document compares eBPF, XDP and DPDK for packet inspection. It describes the speaker's experience using these tools to build a virtual machine that can handle 10Gbps of traffic and drop packets to mitigate DDoS attacks. It details how eBPF and XDP were able to achieve higher packet drop rates than iptables or a custom module. While DPDK could drop traffic at line rate, it required specialized hardware and expertise. Ultimately, XDP provided the best balance of performance, driver support and programmability using eBPF to drop millions of packets per second.
Challenges with high density networks
Challenges with high density networksMarian Marinov Marian Marinov is the chief system architect and head of the DevOps department at SiteGround.com. He discussed the challenges of high-density networks including large broadcast domains, limited MAC/ARP tables, and bandwidth constraints. Some solutions proposed were using VLANs, layered network designs, and overlay technologies like VXLAN and NVGRE to divide the network into smaller segments and increase scalability.
SiteGround building automation
SiteGround building automationMarian Marinov At SiteGround we built our own building automation and this is the PCB we designed to control the lights in the office.
Preventing cpu side channel attacks with kernel tracking
Preventing cpu side channel attacks with kernel trackingMarian Marinov This document discusses potential approaches to prevent CPU side-channel attacks like Meltdown. It proposes monitoring processes for multiple SIGSEGV children and stopping rather than killing any processes that meet this criteria. It also discusses limiting the cache flush instruction to prevent Flush+Reload and Flush+Flush attacks, and monitoring CPU performance counters and kernel events related to cache flushing.
Managing a lot of servers
Managing a lot of serversMarian Marinov This document discusses managing hundreds of servers and the challenges that arise. It notes that while automation helps with some tasks like software deployment, it has limits when dealing with thousands of servers due to time, network bandwidth, memory usage and CPU overhead. Manual execution of commands directly on servers can be more efficient for large fleets. The reality of managing many servers is that upgrades and security issues often require quick response times that may be difficult with only automated solutions. Effective systems also acknowledge that breakages will occur and must be addressed rapidly.

Jumping Hurdles: How Leaders Who Think Big Overcome Challenges to Crafting Lo...Francis Wade Jumping Hurdles: How Leaders Overcome Challenges and Craft Their Long-Term Strategic Plans
You are someone who believes in the power of long-term thinking. As such, you welcome the idea of long-term strategic planning.
However, while a vast majority of executives agree, a meager number actually have written plans which stretch more than five years. Why the discrepancy?
Many are just too busy.
Others believe they are alone and therefore can't convince their board, colleagues, or staff to begin.
Some perceive the effort would take too long, and cost too much.
A few are afraid that if they put a plan in place, it would need to be changed so quickly that they'd feel foolish for trying to find certainty in a world of war, pandemics and disruptive technologies like Ai.
A majority have no idea what process to use.
And so on.
Meanwhile 45% of CEO's are still not confident that their companies would survive more than a decade on their current path. (PWC)
Come to this webinar to explore this conundrum. Whether you are a board member, manager or consultant, you will find a source of fresh insights. Plus, you will learn how to access the latest thinking executives are using to unblock the development of long-term strategic plans which in turn lead to sustainable long-term value.

Dynamic Competition Done Right: CRESSE Conference 2024
Dynamic Competition Done Right: CRESSE Conference 2024David Teece The dynamic competition paradigm draws on complexity economics and capability theory. It recognizes that dynamic competition may or may not lead to creative destruction. Some innovation is competency enhancing and, ceteris paribus, is socially better than creative destruction. There is an urgent need to adopt a dynamic competition perspective and apply it correctly in an evenhanded manner.
Shane Windmeyer and The Everyday Power of Inclusion: Why DEI Begins With Us
Shane Windmeyer and The Everyday Power of Inclusion: Why DEI Begins With Usshanewindmeyer7 We often hear about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—collectively known as DEI—in big settings: corporate boardrooms, university policies, government initiatives. And while those top-down efforts are essential, DEI doesn’t begin with organizations. It begins with people.
It begins with how we greet our coworkers in the morning. How we make room for voices that are often unheard. How we recognize privilege—not with guilt, but with responsibility. It’s in the everyday. The ordinary. The personal.
Shane Windmeyer, a long-respected voice in DEI advocacy, has built his career on this very principle: that inclusion is something we create together, moment by moment. “The work of equity isn’t just policy,” he once wrote. “It’s presence. It’s awareness. It’s choosing connection, again and again.”

Deep Work_ Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World.pdfpckhetal Introduction
In an age where distractions are just a click away, the ability to concentrate on demanding tasks has become increasingly rare and valuable. This scarcity has elevated the concept of “deep work” to a critical skill for those seeking to achieve focused success in a world dominated by shallow tasks and constant interruptions.
Deep Work Defined: Deep work refers to the ability to focus without distraction on cognitively demanding tasks. This intense concentration allows individuals to produce high-quality work efficiently. In contrast, shallow work consists of non-cognitively demanding tasks that are often performed while distracted. These tasks tend to add little value to one’s professional achievements.
The Importance of Deep Work: In today’s knowledge economy, the capacity to perform deep work is more crucial than ever. Professionals who cultivate this skill can process complex information more quickly and efficiently, produce higher quality results, and demonstrate a competitive advantage in their fields. Furthermore, deep work not only enhances productivity but also contributes to personal fulfillment, providing a sense of accomplishment and mastery.
The Current Landscape: Our modern world is rife with distractions. The pervasive influence of social media, the constant barrage of emails, and the open-plan office environments all contribute to a culture where shallow work thrives and deep work is marginalized. The result is a workforce that is often busy but not productive, multitasking but not achieving significant progress.

Through a combination of scientific research, practical advice, and real-world examples, this book will offer actionable strategies to help you cultivate deep work habits. Whether you are a student, a professional, or an entrepreneur, the principles outlined here will help you navigate the distractions of modern life and achieve focused success.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part will delve into the idea of deep work, explaining why it is valuable, rare, and meaningful.

Embark on this journey to reclaim your focus, enhance your productivity, and achieve success in a distracted world. By adopting the principles of deep work, you can transform your professional and personal life, attaining a level of performance and satisfaction that is increasingly rare yet profoundly rewarding.

Just presented my analysis of "The Love of the Last Tycoon" by F. Scott Fitzgerald for our course Leadership through Literature, under the guidance of Dr. Yasar Imam at AMU.
Exploring leadership themes through literary narratives offers a powerful lens into ambition, influence, and integrity. This novel, though unfinished, is rich with insights on power dynamics, vision, and the complexities of leading with conviction in a competitive world.
Grateful for the opportunity to engage with such a timeless text and deepen my understanding of leadership beyond conventional frameworks.

US, the EU and allies should be supporting standards development process, including via the following recommendations:
* Technological leadership and national security need prioritisation ahead of all other issues
* Make USA and EU a venue for Standards development meetings
* Revise export contracts to encourage Standards participation
* Collaborate with industry and leverage US government convening capabilities
* Double down on STEM education

Managing sysadmins
- 6. Management methodologies ➢ Agile ➢ Waterfall(Water flaw) ➢ DevOps Mainly for developers
- 7. Dev projects ➢After delivery to customers, there is mainly maintenance. ➢ Maintenance depends on the quality of the product
- 8. Defining the work of sysadmin/devops project ➢ Needs to setup the infrastructure ➢nice if: ➢ you have to setup just one DB ➢ spin up your AWS instance and sync the files ➢ very complicated if you have to setup ➢an HA environment ➢cluster
- 9. Defining the work of sysadmin/devops project ➢ Monitoring ➢ will this be monitored ➢ how much overhead are we adding to the team ➢ new projects come in - they only add to the amount of current projects
- 10. Executing the work ➢ The difference with Devs is that Sysadmins are always in maintenance mode ➢ security updates (Software, Firewall, IDS/IPS) ➢ feature updates ➢ client software updates ➢ authentication/authorization management ➢ configuration changes
- 11. Time management ➢ Most of the time you should plan to have available resource ➢ problems may happen every day ➢ IT work is offloaded to them, as they know how to do it ➢ like setup that printer ➢ fix the VPN for that employee
- 12. Documentation ➢ Skilled admins can sometimes work without or with poor documentation ➢ Junior admins ALWAYS require GOOD and tested documentation ➢ Makeing sure your admin team keeps up with the documentation guarantees easier recovery or faster maintenance
- 13. Siloed people ➢In many companies we have people that are the most knowledgeable or even the only person that can do specific tasks ➢ either document that ➢ or train more people to do it
- 14. Similarities with Devs ➢ You have to know your infrastructure ➢ machines, software, network ➢ As the Devs know theirs ➢ framework, databases, worflow
- 15. Takeaways ➢ Separate the work week into a few categories ➢ Monitoring ➢ Maintenance ➢ New deployments or upgrades ➢ Long term goal
- 16. Takeaways ➢ It is not mandatory you keep all of the hours the same each week ➢ It is not important that you have all of them every week ➢ Just try to accomodate everything wihin the week
- 17. Takeaways ➢ Always plan with 50% chance for disaster. So keep a second view of the backlog... as if there is a disaster. ➢ I personally always sacrifice the log term goal in case of emergencies ➢ In cases where the team is overwhelmed I also delay deployments and even some times remove peopel from monitoring.
