I was actually looking at building a script like this. Have you found anything that does it already? If not, I was just going to make a small python script with readonly access to my Youtube account that pulls down my Watch Later video IDs and feeds them to youtube-dl on my NAS. Sounds like a fun Christmas vacation project.
There are multiple articles automating this task using youtube-dl. There's also a recent project called tubesync[0] that provides a GUI and advertises itself as the sonarr/radarr for Youtube
This was great, thanks for sharing. I'm currently pointing my career towards principal (security) engineer and would love any similar articles on what it's like and what makes a good one if anyone had recommendations.
It's a great time to be in security, definitely a job seeker's market. I've been in security for ~8 years now and don't have any certs and don't see a whole lot of value in them unless your employer/clients require them (some consultant or government shops do). I place a much higher value on knowing your stuff and being able to earn the respect of other engineering teams when helping them understand more secure ways to build what they're trying to build.
Some of the best security engineers I've known came from a network engineer or sysadmin background. So don't worry if you don't have a "masters in security". I'd spend some time thinking about the last large system you built. How would someone attack it? How would you detect those attacks? What would you do if they were successful? How could you have architected around those weaknesses? If doing that seems like fun, my team is hiring in Seattle, feel free to drop us a message at prodsec-recruiting@tableau.com
Senior network engineer for an ISP here, when you have a network that spans a number of states and provinces, it inevitably develops a huge attack surface. Designing security features into the network is part of modern network architecture, the two are inseparable these days. There's obvious concerns about endpoint security (individual servers, VMs, etc) and then different considerations for network security of routing/switching/WDM/millimeter wave equipment at POPs.
A lot of equipment used by ISPs is barely protected at all, from what I've seen of other peoples' networks. There's a lot of things out there like temperature monitoring devices, UPSes, rectifiers, HVAC controls, security card readers/relay controls, generator monitoring control systems that run ancient shitty software, which the vendor will never patch. People spend a lot of time isolating these things in special management networks because the cost of replacing a big rectifier system at an older POP cannot be justified.
I would say that for somebody that wants to get into a dedicated security role, without having specifically studied netsec stuff in detail, the best background to have is a mixed balance of first/second-tier NOC, network engineering, and general Linux/BSD sysadmin knowledge.
Shout-out to everyone who's ever worked for a large to mid-size ISP, that has acquired and eaten/digested a smaller ISP which has already existed for 12, 15 or 20 years... So much weird legacy gear in weird locations, doing weird things. So many SDH circuits and OC-whatever transport systems.
