Yes, its a distro with a bunch of tools. The tools are deployed together into a web app suite.Security Onion is firstly an IDS. Intrusion Detection System.The base install needs 2 NICs, a management NIC and an operational NIC. It's a probe.It also supports an army of Elastic Agents installed at sites or subnets.
The package allows you to flag events via Suricata (I think that's what's behind Hunt), escalate Cases to track them, search the data in a surprising amount of ways, and drill right down to the packet level (that's Wireshark). There's a bunch of InfluxDB graphing. A thing called CyberChef that is a fukin badass on-the-fly decoding and decryption tool to open up the packets you gather.
Honestly, I'm just getting started. But if you hired a security analyst to watch your network, you'd want them checking this every day, digging in shit, sending you reports, escalating cases to you.
Duke Nukem was fun for the time. Like, I was playing Doom II back then.Doom II was actually a lot better. Other than the stripper scenes, Nukem wasn't all that unique. Sorta Doom clone with bewbs.
But Nukem made enough of a splash for people to remember it and wonder about a sequel.And wonder they did. For many years.These are the original "When it's done" guys.They mocked up game footage to get funding and gawd knows why else.
And then they released a shit game. Nobody liked Nukem Forever.And I play crap like that. I've got all the Serious Sam and completed the first three games.Never bothered with Nukem Forever.
I thought the article did a good job of introducing the fact that consciousness and perception are a hallucination, a trick of the mind as it assembles various datastreams and updates the model constantly. "Reality is a Lego tower all of us continuously assemble, fix, and adjust bit by bit." This is a standard neuroscience perspective. It's as 'true' as anything else we know about the brain.
And then ... well it was some evocative writing, but I think they failed to bring home the final point. When they say 'reality', they mean 'society'. Just substitute that word, and suddenly the whole article makes more sense, is relevant, and has teeth. They were trying to be poetic, when a more direct statement about the cha0s in our streets would have been more effective.
Or even crappy stuff. Meet ya at the Burger King. And we will drive up that big fuken mountain. And burn some shit in the woods, drink some beer. Gonna be a kickass time.
Fun is where you find it. If you ain't found it, keep lookin.
The broccoli is an excellent source of fiber. Fiber fills you up. Fiber is how you are supposed to know you are full.The fiber is washed out of all the processed food. It doesn't fill you up properly. So you eat more.Its all chemicals, man. They are feeding us shit that's designed to make us eat more.So, eat that broccoli. And some beans. You won't want the burger if you've had a healthy meal.
I own two GL.inet routers. I liked my Flint so much that I bought an Opal for my office and on the road. These machines are well provisioned. The OpenWRT reviews of them say to just leave the stock bootloader installed. I've installed all sorts of packages, multiple subnets, VPN, adblock, etc. GL.inet gear is good stuff.
This game looks like Beat Saber or https://moonrider.xyz/It's ten years old. 2016.Says its VR supported. I have an old Occulus I could try with it. But it appears to be made for regular screens.
And its only $3.99.Has anybody played it?
