There are some in DFIR who are missing the point of DFIR.

Everyone keeps asking whether Ahmed Al-Ahmad is Muslim or Coptic Christian. I understand the instinct given the stare of the world. His name suggests he is likely Muslim, and all indications point that way. But it reminds me of something my old headmaster once said when asked whether a certain schoolboy was White, Black or Coloured. “He’s none of those,” he replied. “He’s a Grey Boy.” Ahmed Al-Ahmad is an Australian. That’s what matters. On a beach in Sydney, a man who runs a fruit shop bravely stepped forward and disarmed a terrorist, saving many lives. Not because of theology. Not because of politics. But because he was a decent human being who chose courage over fear. If he is Muslim, then what a powerful rebuke to those who choose to hijack the faith in that country, for violence. If he is Lebanese by heritage, what a beautiful reminder of what immigrants give to the countries that welcome them. He is simply a man who did the right thing, and that alone is enough. We are tearing the world apart by obsessing over labels - religion, race, tribe, ideology, identity - when the truth is far simpler. Strip any of us down to the bone and we are identical. The differences are clothes we put on, not truths written into nature. Religion that divides is not faith; it is doctrine. Faith should unite. It should protect life. It should always choose love over hate. A Muslim man saved Jewish people on an Australian beach, celebrating Hanukkah 🕎 A universe of history, migration, chance and humanity converged in one single moment - and goodness won. Today, I don’t want to see people arguing about what Ahmed Al-Ahmad is. I want us to honour who he was in that moment. A brave man. A good man. A proud son, and father. A fruit seller who became a hero. A great Australian 🇦🇺 #AhmedElAhmad #Hero #BondiAttack

Ahmed El Ahmed is the hero… Naveed Akram is the evil .. It isn’t about religion, it’s about Evil vs Good

UPDATE: The hero of Bondi has been named. He is Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner who grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists, he was subsequently shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. Praying that his surgery goes well. He is currently in hospital.

In 1980 Singapore Airlines faced a major pilot strike. Here’s how PM Lee Kuan Yew dealt with it.

Everyone in DFIR loves talking about tools because they’re safe, mechanical, and impersonal. Attribution is uncomfortable because it means taking the evidence and pointing it at a real human being and saying, you did this. I built a system to Tie the Act to the Actor. Read it on Dec 8, 2025. #dfir #attribution #tietheacttotheactor
