Another cracking post from Jamf "Tech Thoughts" blog:

community.jamf.com/t5/tech-tho (Revolutionizing Patch Management with Installomator)

Not a rehash of mine from 2022, at all: irritatedsysadmin.substack.com (How we use Installomator to Automatically Manage Application Upgrades)

Did my blog used to be called Tech Talk, why yes, yes it did. After Jamf started Tech Thoughts, I decided to have a bit of a name change.

Am I just being a moody git today? Yes. Yes, I am.

Jamf Nation · Revolutionizing Patch Management with InstallomatorManaging macOS application patching has always been challenging, especially in large enterprise environments.

I heard first thing this morning about Charles Edge's passing. As I was relaying the news to one of our former co-workers at 318, I saw this pic I’d sent from last year's MacAdmins Conference at Penn State.

I'm gonna miss seeing him at conferences, hearing him on the Mac Admins Podcast, and hearing about his next big project.

❤️ 💔

A selfie with Charles Edge on the left and me on the right. We’re both sitting outside the Penn State Berkey Creamery in State College, PA, each with a bowl of ice cream and cheesy grins. Charles is a while male with dark hair and slightly salt & pepper beard and mustache. He has is sunglasses propped on the top of his head and is wearing light purple and blue plaid button down shirt. I’m a while male wearing a white ball cap with mostly white beard and mustache. I’m wearing rimless glasses and a gray t-shirt. We’re both wearing our green “speaker” lanyards around our necks.

Another example of the same kind of #TTP was covered earlier today at #OBTS by the #Jamf threat research folks. The #RustBucket dropper, disguised as a custom "protected PDF reader" app, includes social engineering-flavored instructions on how to run the app: right-click to open. The attacker's story is that the app is so custom and secure it is unable to live on the #AppStore. Or to be notarized apparently, which triggers the #Gatekeeper warning thus necessitating the override instructions 😒

Another example in the "pros" column for managing your users' ability to be tricked by this malicious actor tactic. `DisableOverride=True`, all day long.

Ever since installing Jamf on my MacBook Pro, I’ve been having a bunch of weird issues with random freezes and network connectivity issues and programs taking too long to load. This weekend, I’ve had Finder crash several times, and it wouldn’t restart. The system error reporting dialog mentions “watchdogd kernel panic.”

This is several years old, but a lot of it sounds like what I’m experiencing: sigpipe.macromates.com/2020/ma

Anyone familiar with this? #macOS #jamf

Day 2 of the Penn State MacAdmins Conference has wound down. What I've missed so much about conferences is seeing people in person.

A popular destination is the Penn State Berkey Creamery for fresh ice cream. We stopped in for scoops after dinner. creamery.psu.edu

Then a few of us decided to walk the three miles back to the hotel bar. What do you call a bunch of IT folks having a good time? I like to call it "social engineering”.
