mastodon 4.7.2🇪🇺 Father, husband, Swedish and cyber. Oh man, all the things cyber but mostly threat Intelligence. Dabble with Python. In the cybersecurity field as a professional since 2001.
Cybersecurity all the way... let's go!
Spring. There's nothing quite like it. The magic of the season. The horror of time speeding up for a few months. The duality of it all. Sunshine and wonderful feelings, never ending rain and depression over a period soon gone.
Sweden most certainly have seasons. A long and dark period from November until March. The snow can help lighten things up, but without it it's ... dark.
Come spring and things comes alive. People, nature, and promises of fulfilling dreams and ambitions.
This year I have made one promise. To, yet again, make my lawn look like the promised land. And also enjoy it more, not just the labor getting there, but also the results.
The kids are older as well, and it's a joy seeing them run through the sprinkler in the late evening on a school night... the small pleasures. I will enjoy them more.
Here's a tiny part of my lawn from last year.
It's this kind of "threat landscape" monitoring I've always wanted. Curated topics, articles delivered to me when they appear and bundle with others talking about the same thing:
Things are "finally" starting to come together.
I've finally gotten around to adding the final touches to the @orlysec@swecyb.com "bot" account.
It should very soon begin to write more Toots. And just to reiterate. The ORLYSEC account will publish from a very strict set of sources, always attributing to original source and no redirects, tracking links etc.
The very purpose of the account is to contribute a fairly high-quality feed of stuff that you probably would like to read/skim.
Let me know if there's something you'd like to see added or changed (content, tags etc.)
Spoke with a friend in the US regarding AI and LLMs. He said that in the startup, entrepreneur circles if you're doing anything AI you're assumed to be using a frontier model, there's just no mental alternative.
I've gone the other route and even assuming that frontier models will disappear and we'll be left with smaller, "local", models in 2-3 years time.
I also find that frontier models are used for even the most trivial of tasks where cheaper, even publicly available models, will do the job just fine.
Personally I think that the next logical step is to see a more "intelligent" fabric dispatching LLM-type based jobs to where they are most appropriately performed. And that certainly doesn't mean one model does it all.
ANDROID APP 😃
No, it's not beautiful. No it's not entirely useful. NO it doesn't have any features beyond scrolling and viewing individual articles. But boy... it's an Android app, talking to my API. BOOM!
The IOCTA 2026 report has been published by Europol:

Very excited to try the new map coming to #ARCRaiders and by recent scout reports it looks to be a banger of a map!
Once they are done with the new map, I'm hoping for an ambitious update to loot and gear.
It needs to feel more "special" to loot, to find cool and unique gear. Why not "sets" granting special abilities? Or rad attachments?
Basically we need moaaaar of everything, kinda...

I thought it was curious with a JAVA RAT, and observed the following:
