Let's see how #WhatsApp is encrypting your attachments 1/n
In a #WhatsApp conversation, I sent a TTF file 2/n
In my phone, this TTF file is stored in the sdcard. To be precise here: /sdcard/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Documents/Action_Man.enc 3/n
#WhatsApp changed the extension of our TTF file to enc, so I guess the file is encrypted, right? 4/n
Let's pull this file from the device 5/n
Wait a minute, the file command returns "TrueType font data", I thought it was encrypted... 6/n
Let's change the extension of the file from enc to ttf 7/n
And if you click on it, I can install the new font 8/n
Conclusion: WhatsApp attachment encryption = change the extension to enc 9/9
PS: DON'T USE WHATSAPP

In 1981, the Primrose fails on a beach of the North Sentinel Island, pushed by a typhoon. You can still see the wreckage on Google Map, in a creek, in the northwest. The crew was saved only by a helicopter operated by the Indian Navy.
Exact coordinates on Google Maps. Open the link, this Island is wonderful! google.com/maps/place/Nor…
Awesome article in French about the North Sentinel Island from @lemondefr lemonde.fr/international/…

.@Paytm, the most used banking app in #India, just sent a dummy notification to his users in the middle of the night. Imagine the reaction of the guy (hacker?) when he realised that he just sent a notification to millions of people
Paytm published a tweet regarding this notification

Airline passengers with little babies are nothing compared to newly-weds. I had them next to me and she is spooned into him with no daylight between them and I get a filthy look being the intruder and she is wearing those red and white bangles up to her elbows like a
badge of honour and he is telling her that the plane flies because when the engines start the exhaust pushes the plane faster and faster and then like a pebble from a catapult it shoots upwards. Never heard such baloney in my life and she has that look of liquid admiration like
he had just discovered a fourth law for Newton and if the Wright brothers had heard this they would have given up flying and taken up paddle boating instead.
As we take off she combs his hair with her henna designed fingers and he tap taps her on the nose as we ‘catapult’ into

Here's the problem with Trump defending his campaign finance violations as simply an effort to protect his family: If Trump wanted to spare his children the ugly details of his divorce from their mother, wouldn't he want those files to stay secret forever? 1/21
If he paid his sex partners to keep their affairs secret because he didn't want to hurt his wife's feelings, wouldn't he want that information to stay secret forever?2/21
This Trump/Cohen tape opens with Trump on the phone.
Trump: "Let me know what's happening, okay?"
"Oh."
"Oh!"
"Maybe because of this it would be better if you didn't go. You know, maybe because of THIS- for that one- you know, at this point you can just get rid of this"

A SOC that deals in Alerts is doomed. If it deals in 'high fidelity detection analytics' + can show ...
1) what's possible to detect that your tech teams + business MDs care about
2) by implication what gaps exist with existing tech (coverage / config)
... then in with a chance.
In practice what that means is defining 5 things that are highly interesting from a blue/red perspective, and where you would tolerate high false positives because if you see 'an activity' it's worth some precious analyst time to investigate ... for 2 reasons ...
1) To rule out that badness is happening
2) To understand if the analytic can be better tuned to remove the trigger to 'go look at this'

Tutorial on how to make a map using QGIS. I'll turn @SenhorRaposa's 2000 Vermont town data into a map showing by how much Gore outran Senator Jeffords (or vice versa) in every town.
Step 1: Download QGIS for your computer, which is available here:
qgis.org/en/site/foruse…
You'll also need some of Census' Tiger/Line County and County Sub shapefiles. The main download page for those is here:
census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/sh…

A direct link to the 2017 VT county sub shapefile is here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/COUSUB/tl_2017_50_cousub.zip
I can't find a 2017 County file by state, so we'll use the 2009 verison here:
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/50_VERMONT/tl_2009_50_county.zip
(We could always edit the 17 national county file in QGIS & create a 2017 VT-only county shapefile, but let's keep it simple.)

Some general comments about #WhatsApp forwards (especially during emergencies). Please try and verify news, before blindly forwarding. (1/n)
Google for more details, check multiple sources, VALIDATE against Websites/Twitter/Facebook feeds of 'official', 'verified' entities. (2/n)
When forwarding information, try and avoid plane text (it has no validating authority or time-stamp). Instead forward validated links. (3/n)
