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

infosec audit, that is - fuck you, autocorrect

eight months pass...

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?

El Tomboto, Saturday, 29 June 2019 14:57 (four years ago) link

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

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.

alas! i liked those

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.
