Free for Developers Developers and Open Source authors now have a massive amount of services offering free tiers, but it can be hard to find them all to make informed decisions.

Something for the side-project people!

This is a site that shows you SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, and other solutions with free developer tiers

Seeing more examples of malware sitting in the root of Public or ProgramData directories...

Use a regex like this to pin these down.

C\:\\ProgramData\\[^\\\/]{0,50}\.(exe|js|vbs|vbe|ps1|hta|bat)

Quick pivoting tip - "Similar by imphash" on VT allows you to quickly identify other samples that have imported the same libraries and called the subsequent functions in the same order. #ThreatIntelligence #ThreatHunting
