for you software folks, the Crowdstrike outage was caused by the usual errors. www.crowdstrike.com/wp-content/u... Of particular interest is an elementary off-by-one problem, bounds-checking error, mocked/happy-path input only, regex in a kernel module(!) and also YOLO'd straight to prod no staging
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
I'm not familiar with the term "mocked/happy-path" but i will be shortly. But this jibes with what I'd been told previously.
Except regex in a kernel module WOW.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Ooh got it. No fuzzing, no exception handling testing. That jibes too.

I have always been a huge advocate of staging environments. Not everyone agrees with me but for this sort of thing I think it is pretty critical.
