…but also the impact politics must have to stop ecosystem collapse from #GlobalWarming #ClimateCatasrophe

Politics, anthropology and conversations as part of system architecture can help with sensor analytics ecosystems for Renewable Energy and Storage, TeleInterActive #Microgrids, #SmartRegions, Supply Chain and Circular Economy, and systems architecture to bring it all together, to reduce/reverse the impact from over a century of burning stuff

…#realtime and #streamingAnalytics for #IoT #IIoT with open source being at the heart of many of the discussions and communities with which we were involved. We first used cause/effect and Bayesian methods long ago (1980s), as well as causal inference and system thinking [not plural]. These are more important now as we extend into #DigitalTwins for TeleInterActive Microgrids and SmartRegion to address #GlobalWarming #ClimateCatastrophe

…we expanded our reach in 2005-2015 to ”smarter everything“ categories still with regional, governmental and industrial, logistics organizations. Then, from 2010-today, clarity in our mission led to an #IoT #IIoT maturity model of #connection, #communication, #contextualization, #collaboration, #causation, #conceptualization and #cognition leading to #SensorAnalyticsEcosystems

I’m adding to my pinned #introduction to explain my interests a bit. My focus on #InternetOfThings started in 2000 when @czds and our company added RFID and mobile barcode reader data to supply chain, logistics and asset management EDW/BI that we were implementing for industry and government organizations. Leaning on Bayesian methods and complex system experience, with community and sustainability goals…

First things first: everyone "knows" that most brute force attacks are against the "root" account, right? This is certainly what earlier studies have found.

As it turns out, this used to be true, but it's not anymore. This graph shows that the fraction of brute force attacks using the username root was nearly 100% back in 2017, but it's been falling - by mid-2021, only around 20% off the attacks we saw were against root.

So, why? Well, we don't have a hotline to the attackers, but we have an educated guess from our own data and from many others' reporting: a lot of the usernames we see correspond to default usernames for #network #routers, specific #Linux distributions, specific server software, and #IoT devices. Basically, as we connect ever more stuff to the Internet (and generally try to protect the "root" account), attackers seem to be diversifying the accounts they are going after.

(There's a table of the top 100 usernames in the paper.)

Tangents aside, people are free to create forks and even branches that include #SystemD or use #BusyBox:

That is the #Freedom of #FLOSS and in fact for anything outside the 1440kB target we'd accept #SystemD since it works and solves a lot of issues...

Granted OS/1337 isn't a #demo first but rather tries to take the concept of #tomsrtbt and @w84death 's #Floppinux and tries to make it something that is useable and can be extended to arbitrary complexity if one desires to...

It's about making a tiny #Linux distro that is #reproduceable and #auditable...

It won't replace @ubuntu or any other big distro, likely it won't even replace #mkroot from #toybox but it should be a clean and level foundation for small #IoT and #EmbeddedSystems projects and products...

Something that is easy to build and customize and port to other platforms...

And we're open for contributions:
