Future-Dated Audio Torture

Oh perfect. Just what I needed today. An RSS feed entry that’s not even a sodding article—it’s a pointer to a bastard podcast dated March 11th, 2026. 2026! Are we time-traveling now? Did someone finally invent a way to transport my consciousness into the future so I can deal with next year’s security clusterfucks today? Bloody marvelous.

The sum total of this “content” is: ISC Stormcast For Wednesday, March 11th, 2026 (available at https://isc.sans.edu/podcastdetail/9844 for the masochists). That’s it. No text. No IOCs. No useful copy-pasteable YARA rules. Just a promise that someone will verbally explain why your unpatched VPN is currently being buggered by script kiddies.

I can already tell you what this futuristic audio-wank will contain: Two minutes of throat-clearing, five minutes explaining why you should patch (which you won’t), three minutes of CVE numbers that sound like lottery results, and ten minutes of Q&A from people who can’t figure out how to rotate a PDF.

Here’s the shitty RSS link if you want to add it to your reader that you’ll never check: https://isc.sans.edu/diary/rss/32784

Anecdote: Had a user last week complain that the Stormcast “wasn’t working” on his computer. Walked over to find he’d printed out the RSS XML, taped it to his monitor, and was waiting for it to “play.” “It’s a podcast,” I said. “You need a player.” “But it’s right there!” he said, pointing at the garbled XML tags. I told him he needed to upgrade his paper to version 2.0. He’s still waiting for the firmware update.
