Retired police officer and digital forensics guy. Former GCFA. Ham radio Extra class. I LOVE Linux. Firm believer in just being nice to people.
So great being back to work in a job I'm really enjoying. Been brushing up on my Wireshark skills this morning before work to help me diagnose some issues. So much fun getting my mind re-engaged on cool stuff.

There seemed to be enough interest so I decided to do a write up on what I have found about OneDrive Offline Mode. Hate to burn a forensic artifact but I’m concerned about what Microsoft feels is secure. #DFIR

I got a poorly written job offer email last night with a link to an online Office.com application form. Obvious scam & I reported it to MS. Just in case you want to scam anyone, MS confirmed to me that abusing online Office forms for job scams is not a violation of the terms of service.

I saw a link to this terrible post & decided to take a look. The article suggests "free & open source" alternatives for antivirus. One suggestion hasn't had a release in over 20 years. Another that hasn't had a release in 15 years and one more whose Github page indicates it's been 8 years. 1/2

Currently half time at a high school basketball game I'm attending and once again I'm pondering what it is about sports that tells people that in order to be a fan of their team they have to be a complete and total a-hole.

So excited to be going back to work as of tomorrow after a few months without a job. Going in in the morning to meet with HR and do the on-boarding stuff. Best part of the job is I'm going to be working on things that really interest me with people I already know and like.

Coming to you live from 2025 Snowpocalypse. My area is forecast to get 8-12 inches of the white stuff mixed with sleet and freezing rain. I'm just hoping the rural electric co-op we have can keep the power on throughout. Here's a pic of the current view out my back door. Everyone be safe out there!

I got exciting news on the employment front yesterday. Starting back at a former employer that I miss greatly on a part-time basis for now with the near future plan of being full time. I'm so excited at this opportunity and so very grateful for it.

One of my jobs these days is being an adjunct Criminal Justice instructor for the local community college district. Last semester was my first time in that role & I'm just over a week away from starting my second time. I'll be teaching Criminal Law 2 (online) & I'm really excited about it.

@bbaskin.bsky.social Still finding and catching up with old friends here at bsky. Hope you are doing well!

Totally agree. I took most of the scam related complaints during the later parts of my police career. I wanted the cases & was always glad to work with victims. If I knew of a job today where I could help scam victims I'd do it.
Idk about y’all but nothing in the cyber world makes me more angry than romance based scamming. It breaks my heart every time I hear a new victim story.
