  1. Oh fuck heres some unearthed #DEFCON #Hacker history

    @dnsprincess and i are about to record a #Glassof0J about our #HackerSummerCamp plans and suggestions for you are new to it!

    #Backtrack #Kali

  2. The fact that it took #Nadella & co so long to #backtrack on #Recall shows tt #Microsoft is now a #bigtech that's become prone to getting high on its own supply or, worse still, just strutting like a headless chicken. #Harmful #technology needs to be #regulated & relegated, not celebrated unquestioned.

    "Microsoft, facing scrutiny over the security of its products, is withdrawing a new #AI feature of its #Windows #software for new #personalcomputers from broad release."

  3. @Tbrzl It's been 10 years since they changed names from #BackTrack. The first BackTrack release was in 2006.

    Of course, BackTrack was the love child of WHAX and Auditor Security Collection

  4. Used the backtrack feature on my Apple Watch Ultra to go on a 4M walk through the trails at our vacation house with my daughter; worked fantastic as I had no service! Really awesome to see how accurate and helpful it was.

  5. So, #Linux users of #Mastodon, what is your recommendation for a #distro for a techy person who used to use Linux ( #MEPIS was my favorite flavor back when I was using #Nix regularly, but I did run #Mint, #Ubuntu (12.04 or 12.10 was the last version I ran exclusively as the main OS on one of my PCs...which, was, 11ish years ago? Rude), #Xubuntu, #Lubuntu, #Kubuntu (getting the picture?), #PuppyLinux, #ArchLinux, #Slackware (is that still a thing?), #KaliLinux (Started using it when it was #BackTrack, though), #FreeBSD, #FedoraLinux (12 or 13?), #RedHat (#RHEL) etc.

    You get the picture...I used mostly #Canonical / #Debian based OSes, but had a sprinkling of #RPM based, and others. I did some small modifications to the #Kernel and such, Almost got MEPIS running on an old #IBM #ThinkPad, and was able to salvage a lot of data from "dead," machines thanks to 'Nix.

    These days, however, I just want one that works. I have way too much going on to mod and have to mess with it constantly to keep it working.

    It looked to me like it was doing a classic #BackTrack #Algorithm except it was conning the human into doing the work of knowing when to backtrack.
