  • And I do keep bumping into excel models for sale, or Excel add-ins. There’s quite a few quants that’ll do custom models for your scenarios for my price range, too - lookin’ at you, cyberriskmodels.com and your $1200 Custom Models & Dashboards.

    I’m more interested in the models and their uses than the buying of a new software. I have fixed scenarios where decisions need to be made, and just a little guidance on ‘use this kind of model (or template excel sheet) for evaluating a new mobile app for a business unit, and this other kind for evaluating the risk of patching production workload servers outside of business hours during the busy season’ would be great.

    But yeah, the more I look the more I think it’s not COTS. It’s going to be buying hours with a quant and building models for our standard risk assessments. Which is fine, just good to know I 'spose.


  • Appreciate the reply. I do use RMFs, but I’m looking for specific analysis tools. For a given threat - data breach from a significant software update adding features - to model that risk quantitatively. I’ll continue looking, but hoping to hear from someone on what they’ve used. I’ll be sure to come back and share what I find as well.

    Absolutely not. Windows 7 may still function, but it is a target for unpatched vulnerabilities. Attackers are actively seeking windows 7 hosts for remote code exploits, lateral movement, and privilege escalation.

    Do not run Windows 7. Stop running Windows 10 after the end of life date next year.



  • Yes, and thank you for your interest in helping. Appreciated! After an update, I will eventually reboot. When doing so, the options in the gear at the Gnome login will be

    • Gnome
    • Gnome Classic

    Both of these options are X11. I verify this with $ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE and see X11. When Wayland is working, the Gnome login will show four session types:

    • Gnome
    • Gnome Classic
    • Gnome on X.org
    • Gnome Classic on X.org

    I haven’t been able to locate a log file where something looks relevant to the decision made at boot for XDG, Wayland, or X11 that chooses one over the other. It’s just as though Wayland stops being an option. 3 or 4 updates later, I’ll have Wayland back again - but no idea why it comes and goes. My caveman intuition tells me it happens around nvidia updates, but I haven’t kept strict notes on that.








  • I disagree! They can be great options, inexpensive and reliable. My current home server is a Dell r620 with xeon CPUs, 64gbs of RAM, and 2 terabytes storage in raid 5. It serves several vms, a mix of Windows and Linux. More than enough for many home set ups. Boots the os off a 16gb flash card. Cost me $185. Thing has been a tank.

    I bought two short L brackets from home Depot, and have it hanging flat against the wall. It’s been fabulous.
