Yeap, lil bit busy this week. Hmm let me tell you what really consume most of my time either during working hours and at home. Maybe at the end it turns out that I am not that busy at all. But I do feel like I have a lot of things to do..

(more…)

Ahh, this idiom came into my mind when one of my former colleagues told me that one of our competitors will not entertain any job application from our staff (especially for security analyst post). Why? Because one of our former “analysts” joined their company a couple of years before and they quite surprise with her level of “knowledge”.

Surprise? Not for me tho. In fact, I’ve expected this kind of situation will surface once these fellas went out applying similar job at other companies. Well, they thought having the degree or certificates can guarantee them the job that they applied. Surprisingly (not so) some of them who have been working for a number of years as an analyst still failed to grasp the proper tasks, knowledge, skills required by an analyst.

Bahh… enuff mumbling. I think I do sound like a broken record. To be honest, I’m kinda fed up

Btw, before you start to install anything, please understand what are these applications meant to do.

Hmm.. I better keep my mouth shut now

Crap. THis time I’ve been fooled totally. After reading the posts from Richard’s and geek00l’s, I thought it is for real. My mistake tho, I should have check with CISCO website for the news.

Anyway, April Fool..

I think I do share the same feeling with Garfield about Monday. Even though there are paperworks, training slides and of cause some write ups that need my undivided attention, it’s kinda hard to kick start those works ;P (garfield pic taken from brokencode.biz)

Anyway during lunch hours, I had some discussion about our jobs, the company, our market value etc with my colleague who this Friday will be his last working day here. And when talking about new or potential new employer, the word jobstreet is the most said word in that discussion. I have to admit that I do have an account at jobstreet (eventually I’ve forgotten the login and password as far as I remember, I registered at that website nearly 7-8 years ago.) That’s why when somebody called me and said that they got my contact number from jobstreet, I do feel lil bit suspicious

I do wonder how many ppl from my company access that website. My colleague suggest to write snort rules to detect that particular activity. It’s for our own usage. Not for reporting to mgmt or anything like that. Anyway we just implement that rule to our external sensor and of cause that rules removed after one day.

So below are the screenshots from my sguil. I’ve tested the rules on my machines. So both of the IPs shown are belong to my machines.

New Job Seekers Detected – jobstreet.com.my

New Job Seekers Detected – myjobstreet accessed

p/s: I will not publish the rules btw. I know it’s easy to write that rules but you have to work it out yourselves as I know that there are companies who are prohibiting their employee to surf that kind of sites.
