  • Quite a lot, actually. This is really a summation and not comprehensive.

    • Evaluate an environment after incident:
      • looking for IOCs, determine spread
      • Determine backup status and restore if possible
      • Return environment to healthy state (AD restore, replication, networking, etc.,)
      • Lockdown of security holes
      • Advise on best practices going forward
    • Decrypt environment if client pays ransom

    etc., etc.

    Depending on the complexity of the environment, this can take a lot of time and effort: much bigger than most internal teams are capable of doing. A client I had in Feb-Mar lasted a total of 3200 hours of work between 12 people on my team across 34 locations to unfuck the situation.








  • I don’t get sick more than once every few years. I do nothing special. I wash my hands, but probably should do it more. I am highly social, go to bars, have friends over, go to shows. I don’t mask up anymore.

    I’m 47 and I feel pretty much like I did at 20. I weigh the same, have more lines on my forehead and not as full hair, but I’m not bald.

    Secrets? Lucky genetics, I’m sure. Of course, by putting this out into the universe, I’ll probably get Hyper-mega Cow butt B7RQ Novel Toe Cancer.

    Good luck with whatever ails you.
