You are probably looking for the infosec.exchange Mastodon instance

This host is mostly for my random stuff, and in little part acts like a well-intentioned placeholder for the typosquatted domain.

Discoverability and Archiving

Currently I'm using this host for saving the items from my own feeds to the Wayback Machine and provide in-links for search engines. I hate that I have to do this, but the non-sense ideology of Mastodon pretty much ruined the search feature for Fediverse as a whole, and this wasn't changed by the fact that they owned their mistake and implemented search eventually.

Yes, I (or anyone else) could do similar things with other peoples published feeds, regardless of the tantrum. No, you can't defederate this, because the process doesn't rely on an instance.

@dymaxion @kaoudis You are right, and now I think here lies the solution: with pentests you want priorities based on how an external party sees your system. Does this make sense?

(having to think about these things shows how much time passed since I started doing pentesting...)

@dymaxion @kaoudis I guess back in the day this was about workforce distribution? People with pentest skills usually didn't work at places that required them + project distribution didn't justify hiring? There is also a conflict of interest if a person with pentest skills also works on the system under test.

It's funny how WinDbg's TTD docs[1] emphasizes that PII may appear in dumps, while e.g. docs for crash dump analysis[2] don't.

Based on the observation that behind every warning sign there is a story I suspect that at one point a TTD trace somehow resulted in summoning MS's legal team :)

The 90s called and want their dumb obfuscation back!
