"Legitimate user masquerade is the primary method by which these cyber actors exploit targeted network devices. In some cases, the actors use brute-force attacks to obtain Telnet and SSH login credentials. However, for the most part, cyber actors are able to easily obtain legitimate credentials, which they then use to access routers"

A little project nearing completion: redundant 26V battery backup power supply for a couple of 48-port Ubiquiti switches (plus a redundant 54V battery backup power supply for couple of POE-powered Ubiquiti access points).

Should provide upwards of 24 hours of battery backup.

One highlight of yesterday's #MarchforScience : the hardcore religious guy standing on the corner, yelling at marchers that they were all headed for eternal damnation.

Just wouldn't have been the same without that.

@JWilliams I think part of it comes from critics not understanding that science is a constant state of exploration and investigation, and what we know changes with new discoveries. Note that no one complains as we learn more about the brain and body to improve or develop medical procedures!
