If you forget to use sudo and spend some time editing a file with vim, not all is lost. You can actually escalate using sudo without leaving vim, and losing your changes.
:w !sudo tee %
Note : this only escalates for one write. You must run the command again if you want to save file after making more changes.
We are having a baby tomorrow. The c-scheduled for tomorrow morning. We have to be at the hospital at 5am.
Two kids under 2. Life is going to be crazy.
I stopped after work to fish a fully fresthwater retention pond for bass. A saltwater tarpon in a retention pond is something you see everyday.. Definitely not what I was expecting. I had to go in and get him out of the hydrilla. I took a video of the fight because I was 100% sure I was gonna lose him on 10lb test. What an epic battle!
Here is the video...
Some of ya'll need to hear this...
Welp, I made the jump into the IT security world. I am leaving Windows System Administration to join IT security full time. I wanted to make the announcement last week, but with the hurricane I figured I would wait.
When I started my career at GeekSquad for $10 an hour back in 2004 I would never imagine where I would be today. Fast forward 12 years and I am working an IT security job for a enterprise organization.
I have no degree and my path certainly wasn't easy. I started out at the bottom and worked my way up every chance I could get.
2004 - Geek Squad
2005-2006 - Enterprise Help Desk
2007 - 2008 - Desktop Support
2008-2010 - Network Technician (basically entry level system admin)
2010-2012 - System Admin
2012-2016 - Network Administrator II (basically high level System Admin)
2016 - Cyber Security Vulnerability Manager
I wanted to share my journey because if you have enough drive anything is possible. A degree is definitely not needed. I started out of high school when all my colleagues started by getting a 4 year degree. I am ahead of my everyone of my colleagues that I talk to that has a degree.
I am only 29 years old so my journey is far from over.
Ugh CEH is the worse option. I have it and that is scam certification IMO. It is like over $1000 to take a test that is multiple choice and extremely easy.
CISSP - Great, but you have to commit a good amount of time and brainpower to it. I have it and it was pain in the ass, but well worth it.
CISM - Weighed the same as CISSP by DoD DIrective 8570, but an easier test.
Security + - Used to be a basic watered down security cert like Scott said, but recently was made much tougher and is more well respected now
If I wanted the most value and was willing to do the work I would do CISSP.
If I wanted a good amount of value and wanted an easier test, I would do CISM
If I wanted to learn something and build a good base, I would do Security +
Luckily we didn't have any structural damage to the house during the Hurricane, but I did lose a good portion of my fence, some siding, and a very nice palm tree. We are lucky enough to be on the same power grid as an elementary school (we are directly behind the school) so we got power back very early on. However, we didn't get water until last night.
I am glad to be back at work as things return somewhat to normal.
@travisdh1 said in Split Hotel Room for MangoCon '16?:
Well, that idea appears to be a bust, the only rooms available are the ones with single beds.
I guess if you just give it to the liberty data folder it's not as bad. It's amazing how shitty software can be though. It sucks that %PROGRAMDATA% folder has been around since Windows 7 and this vendor still can't figure out how to leverage it properly.
If I'm understanding correctly, this is a huge security risk.
Are you considering giving everyone full write access to %PROGRAMDATA%?

@eddiejennings said in Icacls: Granting WO access to folder:
But there's more to the story it seems. Are you needing to share the %PROGRAMDATA% folder over the network
No - the folder doesn't need to be shared. The DB on the server - needs the path mapped.
Please tell me this is a joke.

I've 'programmed' thousands of alcoholic drinks, different liquors, shots etc. into Aloha Systems
If you have to develop code to add drinks into their systems, I'd rather not use the tool. That seems so over the top. Do they support a lot of languages? Seems limiting.
It's not actual programming code that's why i used the 'programming' as that is what it is called in the field.
Really it's just data entry of products, adding items through the GUI.
That kind of reminds me of "programming printers"

Use SSH keys and whitelist your IP using Vultr firewall. When your IP changes, login to vultr console and add it.
Much safer and way easier.

It is to a participation trophy, because you're paid to do a job, this simply acknowledges that you went above and beyond with some pictures or whatever.
Since you have no idea what a participation trophy is or what it means...

@dustinb3403 said in O365: KUDOS:
I think you must find these to be important, why else would you defend the practice?
I find that businesses should do things where they pay very little out of pocket and gain alot of morale from it. I've been given these awards before and I find them very encouraging. Even $25 feels like a great gesture and is above and beyond what your company has to do.
@dustinb3403 said in O365: KUDOS:
@pete-s I guess, still seems like "participation trophies". I'm at the point where I'd rather just have the cash or time off and not deal with this kind of game.
It's not a participation trophy, because everyone gets a participation trophy. This is actually earned, and the acknowledgement is worth it to company and to employees.

I am not certain, but I think they would like to stay in the O365 realm. Though, I will make note of that...
What ever happened to just sending a company wide "Thanks Karen" emails?
Why does a project like this even exist?
Kudos are a big part of many companies, and it's not hard to imagine why. Many companies will actually pay some bonuses or gift cards for kudos. A $50 visa gift card is an investment well spent when you have someone busting their ass. I have been on the kudos side and when you get a small token of thanks beyond a "Karen" email it means alot.
