I've got to locate some of these CIN Motley Crew members. Are you able to at least share with me if they can be found on the Dark Web? I need to make a trip in that direction anyway. It would be nice to be able to kill two birds with one stone!!!

Rick Butler said:

Yes, it's slang. It's that state that many folks will reach in the next 24 hours, particularly with certain family members.


Trevor, the CIN Motley Crew, as you know, is a highly selective group. If you're not sure you're in, then you probably aren't. I'd probably expect to know your status already, but seeing how easily confused you can get, particularly if you're already inebriated, I may have to defer answering this question until after you've awaken from the turkey coma.


Anyone that knows you, particularly those in the CIN Motley Crew, know that one or more slices of pie isn't going to be adverse to your physique. But if you're that concerned, you can always join me in the gym.

I did, and I do. SEM monitors for new domains with their FRESH, FRESH10/15/30 blocklists, as it is a tactic for spammers - as you well know. Those lists get auto-delisted after a few days. Some organizations are pretty aggressive with their anti-spam policies, even if you have SPF/DKIM/DMARC in place. Apple iCloud, for example, is a current subject of annoyance for me, as Apple generally is.

Trevor Chandler said:

So, you think it was just because your domain was new? Are you feeling that Spam Email Monkey was picking on you? For be it from me to question whether you setup things properly, but I'm going to run the risk of making that query: Did you setup things properly???

Trevor Chandler said:

inebriation? What does that mean? Is that some sort of slang? I'm not able to locate that in my dictionary!!!!

Trevor Chandler said:

CIN Motley Crew? How does one become a member? I'm asking for the benefit of those who might wish
to join. I wouldn't mind joining, but I see that you use them as scapegoats for not being able to get work done -
like properly setting up a domain! The Blame Game - how convenient!!

Thanks for your usual generosity with food offerings, but no pie for me. I'm watching my weight

Trevor Chandler said:

precious, my immediate response to your query is that I don't know. I'll have to research/investigate. Stay tuned!!!

I mean, are there any proof-of-concept exploits available that I can safely use to demonstrate this CVE in a lab environment?

Yes, I know that there are a great number of non-US CIN'ers out here, and today is just another work day for y'all, but...to all of you here on the CompTIA Instructor Network in the US or elsewhere that are overloading on turkey and stuffing:

Happy Thanksgiving!

So, I'm going to do a thread and see if anyone wants to jump in, etc etc...

1) So, I had a great time at the CompTIA Summit this year - I got to meet a lot of you (and see a few of you in various states of inebriation, but still...). Notable folks that I got to meet for the first time would be @Llewellyn, @JanetAZ, @Laurie Seeder @bnguyen , @Brandon G , @Dwight Watt , @Mol_lyC , @iamthewhiz @MelisParker, @Jagger Coffey @Tilley IT Training @Mark Anthony Germanos, @TraceyO , @NikkiH, @LynW, @Kwabena Fred and a number of other folks (of whom I couldn't find your CIN tag).

(yes, this was also a shameless plug to get some more folks to post on the board...since we haven't seen them in a hot minute...)

2) I'm thankful that I was able to meet some major deadlines at work. We're rolling Anthology for our college, having bought up two other smaller schools, and with all that stress, I wanted to say that I'm grateful for having good folks to work with. If any of you folks are also doing admin for Anthology Student in your schools, I want to talk with you. DM me, if you would.

3) I'm gratified that, despite my crazy schedule, I got through at least a couple of exams this year, namely MS900 and SC900 from Microsoft, as well as DataSys+ (upcoming perhaps in a week or so). In a lot of ways, it's you folks and others like you that keep me going when I could just stop. I think that's the best thing we have going here on CIN. And a lot of you just got your SecurityX, which is huge - I'll go after mine in 2025, after re-upping on Cloud+, and maybe another SC from MSFT. So many tests...

4) And yes, I'm thankful all of you - the "usual suspects" or the "CIN Motley Crew" (you know who you are). You guys are just one reason why I can't ever get work done - because I'm out here, mixing it up with you.

Anyway, for those that are celebrating the holiday, Happy Thanksgiving. And if you're not...well...we'll still save you a piece of pie ala mode if you drop by.

Cheers,

Rick

A good one Trevor, thanks for putting this out here

So, just yesterday, I spent some time standing up a brand new domain for our school. Not something we do every day, but how many of you are still running with scissors and not putting in those very necessary DMARC, DKIM, and SPF entries into your DNS zone file?

It was funny though, I had only sent THREE emails on the freshly built domain and Spam Email Monkey already blacklisted my domain, just because it's new. Sheesh..a guy can't cut a break around here.

Anyway...that's my 2 cents

No, it's not covered in any CompTIA cybersecurity related courses.

ITIL lists four: People, processes, products, and partners

Rick Butler said:

Well, I have a BS in IT with a Networking concentration from the University of Phoenix and a Masters in Management of IT and Project Management from Colorado Technical. I am looking (once I can scrape the cash together) of going for the Cybersecurity Doctorate over at Dakota State.

Never would have gathered that @Jill West and @Greg Childers would have gone the social work route, but there it is.

But if I decide to hang up my IT fedora, you'll probably find me in a church, as I'm doing a few things that might lead to an ordination...maybe.
