Stac Pollaidh (612m)

August 12, 2021August 11, 2021 ~ lowmanio ~ Leave a comment

Last week we stayed in Ullapool for 4 days to get away for a bit and do some walks in the Highlands. We were recommended this walk as great view to effort ratio. The walk took us a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes to the top and back to the car park, so … Continue reading Stac Pollaidh (612m)

New era for Lowmanio

August 11, 2021August 11, 2021 ~ lowmanio ~ Leave a comment

So that's it, I have now copied across all my old posts onto WordPress and will soon change over to the new site. My old site was hosted on an incredibly old server which I haven't maintained and recently ran out of disk space. I figure WordPress will do a better job at that for … Continue reading New era for Lowmanio

Family Tree Research Methods

January 9, 2021January 9, 2021 ~ lowmanio ~ Leave a comment

I recently looked into my father's family tree as quite frankly I don't know anyone outside my parents, now deceased grandparents and an estranged uncle. Turns out I love this kind of research and its really similar to forensics - digging through various facts and finding the connections. I used findmypast.co.uk and a combination of … Continue reading Family Tree Research Methods

Moved to WordPress

November 29, 2020November 29, 2020 ~ lowmanio ~ Leave a comment

After ~19 years of a fully home-built website, I have moved to WordPress for the convenience. All my older posts will be gradually moved across too. Hopefully I will update the blog a little more often 😉

GDPR and the Cloud

June 20, 2017January 9, 2021 ~ lowmanio ~ Leave a comment

Today I attended Scot-Cloud in Edinburgh, a free conference hosted by Digit, an independent business technology community in Scotland. Lots of conversation about GDPR, in fact it was mentioned in all of the talks and had two specific talks on it too. The first talk was by Martin Sloan of Brodies LLP Solicitors and second talk by Lilian Edwards, a … Continue reading GDPR and the Cloud

Nudge Theory

October 27, 2016August 8, 2021 ~ lowmanio ~ Leave a comment

A few weeks ago I was at an ISACA/ISC2 event where Chris Ulliott spoke about usable security. He argued that we (technology creators in general) ask far too much of the general public to be able to understand and use technology securely. I agree – asking any internet user to be able to spot a … Continue reading Nudge Theory

“Women in Technology”

October 9, 2016November 29, 2020 ~ lowmanio ~ Leave a comment

Two weeks ago I was at an ISACA Scotland Chapter event where they mentioned an upcoming ‘Women in IT’ event to be held in November. This is all great stuff to get more women involved in security / IT in general but I feel events like these are advertised to the wrong people - I highly doubt … Continue reading “Women in Technology”

Smartphone location tracking

March 25, 2016August 8, 2021 ~ lowmanio ~ Leave a comment

Another great talk at the mobile cyber security conference a few weeks ago was by Glenn Wilkinson who talked about his software called snoopy which is able to track and profile mobile devices based on their wifi. He has a very cool drone which he flies over areas to probe the mobile phones in the area below. Sadly no … Continue reading Smartphone location tracking

Smartphone SMS ‘hacking’

March 12, 2016November 29, 2020 ~ lowmanio ~ Leave a comment

On Wednesday I went to a mobile cyber security conference held at the National Museum of Scotland organised by the Scottish Business Resilience Centre. One of the most interesting talks was given by Odd Helge Rosberg (@ohrosberg). Odd talked about the multiple operating systems (OS) in smartphones; which at first I was surprised at, but actually makes … Continue reading Smartphone SMS ‘hacking’

I’m on Forensics Lunch!

Last week I got invited to take part in Forensic Lunch to talk about Foreman, my open source case management project! https://www.youtube.com/embed/o7uSp8XVGLQ
