While I'll keep this twitter account (as long as it is free), I've moved most of my activity and updates to mastodon: @hackerfactor@noc.social

Due to the ongoing (mental) instability and increasing untrustworthiness on Twitter, I've removed the direct posting links to Twitter from FotoForensics.

Just spend a few hours trying to figure out why the router wasn't opening for test service. Turns out, I was trying to configure the wrong router. (Doh!) Time to start up the label maker!

Long ago, a little kid asked that I did. I told him computer security research. He asked what that meant, and I replied "I make grown ups cry." He totally got it.

My friend is concerned about security on Twitter, so this encrypted message is for him:

"It's worth noting that the commonly deployed OpenSSL 1.x versions are not vulnerable."
It only impacts OpenSSL 3.x.

Nothing CRITICAL this time!
#OpenSSL has released patches for 2 new high-severity flaws (CVE-2022-3786 / CVE-2022-3602).
thehackernews.com/2022/11/ju…
CVE-2022-3602 has been downgraded from CRITICAL to HIGH as it cannot be exploited in most widely used architectures and platforms.

I just signed up for Mastodon. I'll see if I like it. (So far, it seems to be more active and with less racism and disinformation than Twitter.)

Should I be concerned? First my friend's cat learned how to open doors and reboot computers. Now it's leaving me voicemail messages. (All true!) audio.hackerfactor.com/2022/…

How odd... I'm trying to download my Twitter archive. It's trying to verify me with an SMS, but it's not sending me the text message. The thing is, it sent me the text message 2 days ago without any problem. It's not working today.

I just banned AS41264 (Google corporate network) from using the public FotoForensics site. They keep uploading photos of Nest devices and customer personal information. My attempts to contact Google have gone unanswered. If anyone at @Google wants to chat, let me know.

Britney Spears acts crazy and gets 14 years of conservatorship.
Kanye West acts crazy and only loses sponsors. Where's Kanye's conservatorship?

The Russian Army runs on drugs. Today's drug drop location is in Drochia, Moldova. (About 2 hours north of Russian occupied Transnistria, Moldova.) Is Russia preparing for something? fotoforensics.com/analysis.p…
