Taxis to Hell – and Back – Into the Jaws of Death is a photograph taken on June 6, 1944, by Robert F. Sargent, a chief photographer's mate in the United States Coast Guard.

June 06, 2024 by Marc Handelman in D-Day June 6th 1944

“these men came here - British and our Allies, and Americans - to storm these beaches for one purpose only, not to gain anything for ourselves, not to fulfill any ambitions that America had for conquest, but just to preserve freedom. . . Many thousands of men have died for such ideals as these... but these young boys. . were cut off in their prime. I devoutly hope that we will never again have to see such scenes as these. I think and hope, and pray, that humanity will have learned.. we must find some way. to gain an eternal peace for this world." - via Carlo D'Este's superbly crafted biography of Ike: 'Eisenhower: A Soldier's Life', Author: Carlo D'Este, ISBN: 0805056874, Publisher: Holt Paperbacks; 1st Edition

New OpenSource .Net Security Tool Released

July 08, 2022 by Marc Handelman in Security Research, Security Tooling, .NET Foibles, Microsoft Cruft, D-Day June 6th 1944

Security news (received yesterday) engaged my inbuilt disdain for nearly all-things things Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT); post-disdain, and once I resumed a steady-state view of the world, I investigated further, and discovered OpenSource bits stored in a GITHUB repository owned & managed by Mandiant. The repository under scrutiny is mnemonically monikered - 'route-sisxty-sink'.

Folks, in a nutshell - the project has it's way with questionable .NET assemblies (aren't all .NET assemblies questionable?), or, in the words of the creators of this superb, expert-level ballet betwixt security & anti-cruft tooling 'Route Sixty-Sink, an open-source tool that enables defenders and security researchers alike to quickly identify vulnerabilities in any .NET assembly using automated source-to-sink analysis'.

Enjoy!
