Installing Maltego on MAC OS

In case this might help someone-else, if when installing Maltego (or I guess any other application that requires Java) on MAC OS and you see the error below

"LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file"

this is because you don't have Java installed. The "user docs" actually indicate that Java is required, however, as a male I didn't read them prior to installing because the site says

"install as normal"

Anyway, run something like

java -version

from the CLI and aut-magically software update will subsequently be launched. The latest version of Java will then be installed like magic :)

You can then launch Maltego, woot :D

Being a Support Engineer @ 10gen - Part 1

There's a mis-conception around the role of a "Support Engineer". As a clue, it's not what Urban Dictionary says - A person whose job is to answer calls from customers of a small- to large-sized company...... They are teathered to a their desk all day via phone headset........ phone jockeys usually hate their jobs.......they are are paid well enough..........until they completely burn out, and hate everyone. and doesn't always involve this - Image Source: http://half-bakedbaker.blogspot.ie/2009/11/cannoli-and-broken-computer.html As you can see here , there's lots of open roles in 10gen and more specifically with 10gen, in Dublin . I thought I'd write this quick blog to explain what Support Engineers actually do and why I joined 10gen as a "Support Engineer". I could be wrong but didn't Google come up with term " Site Reliability Engineer " to do away with the stigma associated with being a...

WAF versus DPI Firewall

This is a question, I've frequently been asked in recent years and in the last month, o n one of the internal mailing lists, in my old company, the following question was posted – In simple terms, what tasks is a Web Application Firewall (WAF) able to do that a Deep Inspection Firewall can't and why ? by one of my colleagues. Many of you may be surprised (I know I was initially) but this question still comes up an awful lot. Having answered the email (as a warning, I went into a lot of detail and plugged the awesome Security Onion ), I was requested to write a technical blog on the subject, but as I left the company soon after, the blog was never published. Therefore, to save me answering the question again, I thought I’d publish it so I can just reference the link in future J

Start-Up Security

After many years in Security @ Riot Games and eventually putting the "s' out there, I recently decided to jump out of my comfort circle for a new challenge and joined a start-up (yes, I left a comfortable, stable job in a pandemic, lunacy lol). Now that I've been here almost 6 months, I wanted to share some findings because security at a start-up is significantly different. When you join a start-up, there's going to be so much that you can do and it will be incredibly easy to "boil the ocean", and try to fix everything. At best, this guarantees failure for the Security team, at worst, alienation from the engineering and product teams. There are some obvious quick wins that a Security team can make without slowing down iteration and innovation speed, while also reducing risk: Auth Partner with Engineering/IT/CTO such that there's alignment on Security owning all things "auth(n|z)". As part of this ownership, you need to be prepared to resp...
