Three Americans were charged this week with stealing more than $400 million in a November 2022 SIM-swapping attack. The U.S. government did not name the victim organization, but there is every indication that the money was stolen from the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which had just filed for bankruptcy on that same day.

Database admins strive to ensure that large chunks of data are both accessible and stored with integrity. By using these programming languages, they can keep systems optimized. Continue reading 5 programming languages database administrators should learn
More people will find their way to Python for data science workloads, but there’s a case to for making R and Python complementary, not competitive.
The post R vs Python: What are the main differences? appeared first on TechRepublic.

Hot on the heels of the previous CyberDefenders Challenge Solution comes this noisy installment which solves their Acoustic challenge. You can find the source Rmd on GitHub, but I’m also testing the limits of WP’s markdown rendering and putting it in-s… Continue reading Acoustic: Solving a CyberDefenders PCAP SIP/RTP Challenge with R, Zeek, tshark (& friends)
It was a rainy weekend in southern Maine and I really didn’t feel like doing chores, so I was skimming through RSS feeds and noticed a link to a PacketMaze challenge in the latest This Week In 4n6. Since it’s also been a while since I’ve done any serio… Continue reading Packet Maze: Solving a CyberDefenders PCAP Puzzle with R, Zeek, and tshark
WWDC 2021 is on this week and many new fun things are being introduced, including some data science-friendly additions to the frameworks that come with Xcode 13 and available on macOS 12+ (and its *OS cousins). Specifically, Apple has made tabular data… Continue reading New TabularData Available in Swift on macOS Monterery (et al)
My {cdcfluview} package started tossing erros on CRAN just over a week ago when the CDC added an extra parameter to one of the hidden API endpoints that the package wraps. After a fairly hectic set of days since said NOTE came, I had time this morning … Continue reading A {swiftr} Brief Interlude While Awaiting {cdcfluview} CRAN Checks

The last post showed how to work with the macOS mdls command line XML output, but with {swiftr} we can avoid the command line round trip by bridging the low-level Spotlight API (which mdls uses) directly in R via Swift. If you’ve already played with {s… Continue reading Avoiding The mdls Command Line Round Trip With swiftr::swift_function()
