There's an open position at Facebook to work on GHC. If you're into Haskell and want to make it better, here's your opportunity: https://www.facebook.com/careers/jobs/a0I1H00000MoVjBUAV/

You can configure osquery to execute periodic queries (scheduled queries) of all kinds: computing md5 of your binaries and other files, taking a snapshot of sockets/connections per process, and so on.

By default, osquery uses glog, which means it'll output the results to a local file that you can ship anywhere you want. There's also logging plugins to help you push the results of scheduled queries to other systems.

Once you have that data flowing through your pipelines you can start doing security/anomaly detection on things.

But do you need an installation of osquery on the remote machines too? Or some kind of remote agent? Or does it just try to login to each remote machine over e.g. SSH?

It's a remote agent. If you want the scheduled execution, you install the program and configure it internally to run on a schedule.

I haven't finished the work yet, but my employer will be feeding the log results into our ELK stack.

There are other frontends like 'doorman' which allow for ad hoc queries. That is a little more work to stand up.

It is not

"Have you ever paid a toll booth without slowing down?", and then he slides his credit card through a thing in his car!!! :-D :-D

I mean, they got the prediction right, but their implementation is so so wrong!

You'll recall that the first iPhone was exclusive to AT&T so it feels a little like they came through on this promise. Apple might deserve a little of the credit, I suppose.

Good commercial. Kind of chilling how visionary those ideas were at the time and that they did happen, though not exclusively brought to us by AT&T.

One of the comments on that video:

"Will you lose your privacy and civil liberties? You will, and the company that will bring it to you, AT&T."

My first encounter with virtual desktops was on AfterStep, and later on I migrated to Window Maker as it was becoming more popular in Brazil. But I think CDE had virtual desktops long before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Desktop_Environment

Long due.

tcc takes it even further by being used as a library in your c programs, so they can run c scripts. http://gwan.com does this.

This is awesome

In 2002 Fabrice Bellard (author of ffmpeg, kvm, etc) won The International Obfuscated C Code Contest with a tiny obfuscated C compiler, which later became tcc, the tiny c compiler: http://bellard.org/otcc/

Yeah, thank you!
