Earlier today, @STS_News asked about researchers studying the history of #standardization.
That reminded me that I haven't had a chance to share some of the highlights from @LindaHall_org's latest exhibition: The #Standards That Built America!

Time for a 🧵! (1/8) #histSTM #STS
Curated by reference assistant David Crawford, this exhibition showcases a few of the 100,000+ industrial #standards in LHL's stacks.
Many of these standards were once part of the Engineering Societies Library & are hard to find anywhere else! (2/8)

LHL's #standards are often overlooked compared to our #RareBooks & #Journals, but they tell an important #engineering story. Groups like @ansidotorg, @IEEESA & @isostandards have helped promote interoperability, safety & accessibility in a variety of technological contexts. (3/8)
[#thread 🧵] For this third day of #CyberAdvent (3/24), I'll tell you a story. The story of how I gained root access to a server by leveraging a really fun feature in a web application. This #pentest #writeup will explain the complete process from recon to root. 🦋
[#thread 🧵(2/9)] In the recon phase of my pentest, as usual I was performing a port scan. In the output from nmap, I saw an uncommon port 86 with an HTTP server running "Micro Focus DSD 1.0.0":
[#thread 🧵(3/9)] When going on the page from a browser, surprise 🥳🎉 we have an unauthenticated access! This is cool, but I never saw this app before so I didn't know whether we could exploit it simply or not!
The governor of New Jersey called explicitly for COBOL programmers to help with the development of the unemployment system:
This is how the software environmentalism crisis looks like. An explanatory thread. 1/

In the software development industry, we focus exclusively on building systems. The conversations are dominated by new languages, new frameworks, new deployment options. And the body of software grows exponentially. At the same time, we are unable to remove old systems. 2/
From this perspective, our software industry behave not unlike the plastic industry: we focus on building without any regards to recyclability. That is not sustainable. And, given the breadth of software’s reach, it is not responsible either. 3/

1. UK contrata a #palantir para gestionar los datos de la crisis. Contrato controvertido, pero interesante que el foco no es espiar a gente sino tener cifras sobre camas, respiradores, pacientes... Esto es crucial.

👉 Importante que mayores y escuelas entiendan cómo funcionan (se puede limitar quien se conecta) y no pongan los links de conexión en redes sociales!

3. Sobre #apps y #COVID19: uno de los pocos artículos que habla de COMO FUNCIONAN REALMENTE y no cae en el optimismo tecnológico. La realidad en China es uso desigual, sin geolocalización y mucho control con papel y boli 🤷
