my comments on the sitting DIRNSA are not appropriate
the honan hack just goes to prove that if your helpdesk sucks, all your other investments in protecting your customers are a complete waste

today i spotted a woman in her early 20s outside the university of glasgow wearing a white tshirt with the word 'TOMBOT' emblazoned across the chest
startled to see an eruption of ilx into real-life, i did a double-take and she caught me looking wide-eyed at her chest
it was v embarrassing
so i ask: tombot, was this an elaborate psyop to make me appear to be a dirty old man irl?
― BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 19 July 2018 12:39 (five years ago) link
(it def read 'TOMBOT' and not 'TOMBOY' btw)
actually wait a minute, maybe it did read 'TOMBOY' after all

so let me amend my question: tombot, did you adopt this username as part of a longterm psyop involving international clothing chain topshop in order to troll me into staring at a woman's chest?
― BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 19 July 2018 12:42 (five years ago) link
The overwhelming urge to hungrily ogle a woman's chest is perfectly natural for a boy your age. There's no need to blame Tombot or yourself.

au contraire, i think there's every need to blame tombot for making me look like a sex pest out there on the bustling streets of scotland's largest city
MY city dammit

tombot's continued silence on this issue speaks volumes imo

No I did not make that shirtBut it is a good story
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 19 July 2018 17:59 (five years ago) link
feels like exactly the kind of thing the man behind that shirt would say tbh

tombot do you have any lanyard updates
i'm joining the lanyard crowd :(
― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Friday, 20 July 2018 00:38 (five years ago) link
The new look in 2018 is BATIKI bought almost a dozen of them at the Petronas Towers gift shop last month. Many coworkers are looking very fashionable as a result.

tombot what would the DoD do if the president ordered it to cease planning for/wasting money on climate change? just ignore it?
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 23:09 (five years ago) link
Like squeezing jello. I’m challenged to think of the right wording of the order that would have to come down to make the entire defense apparatus pivot towards spending more money on fuel instead of spending less
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 23:23 (five years ago) link
especially since Mattis has a DEPSECDEF who has made a priority of running an actual audit of DoD expenditures

both and also the GAO is fond of completely ignoring defense-in-depth practices whenever they do an infused audit
PS the GAO's in-house daycare is called "tiny findings" which I love

say i've found a procurement on https://www.fpds.gov/ that i'd like to know more details about. i have an "Award ID" and "Referenced IDV ID". is there some way i can read the original call for proposals, or winning bid? or just anything more than a bunch of mailing addresses and vendor identifies?

Have you tried ducking around on fedbizopps.gov?

They archive a lot of stuff there IIRC
Tombot, I have been reading this book and was wondering if you have as well, or have any thoughts on the events documented https://www.amazon.com/Sandworm-Cyberwar-Kremlins-Dangerous-Hackers/dp/0385544405

I have the book but haven’t cracked it. The part where Rob Lee from Dragos finagled a sample of the malware from ESET so he could get the scoop on them has already generated some controversy in “the community”

I no longer have a boring job where I can get away with using Visio to put word bubble captions on top of carefully curated internet images for most of the day. That presents a significant barrier to my creative process.

This revive has caused my 2020s to begin on a very sad and happy note. I can’t believe this thread has almost a thousand answers. And I hate, hate, hate nostalgia.

I apologize for asking that and then promptly _forgetting to bookmark the thread_ leading me to believe my question was not addressed!
I feel like the internal politics of the analysis/CVE community was mostly left out of the text, probably for the better.
