What I'm writing
JA3 and JA4 Fingerprints in AWS WAF and Beyond
DoiT CREs dive into some of the latest client fingerprinting techniques with a focus on using them alongside AWS WAF
Sharing Secrets in AWS Parameter Store
Best practices for sharing secrets using AWS Parameter Store, and when does using AWS Secrets Manager makes more sense
Frequently asked
questions
What do you do at DoiT?
- - Run security assessments
- - Triage security incident investigations
- - Architect network and DNS designs
- - Troubleshoot permissions issues
- - Test out new features and services
Overall, though, I'm here because I like working with people and I like solving problems. If you're a person with a problem (who isn't?), maybe I can help.
I want to improve my security in AWS. Where do I start?
Want to learn more? We do security assessments all the time for DoiT customers, and I'd be happy to help you out. We also can automatically generate security insights for you!
I'm used to AWS (or GCP) and I'm trying to learn GCP (or AWS). What are some big differences?
- - AWS IAM roles are similar to Google Cloud's Service accounts. Google's service accounts and AWS IAM role can both be assigned to resources to give them permissions.
- - Google IAM roles are sets of permissions, similar to AWS IAM policies
- - If you need external access to AWS from a service, traditionally you created an IAM user with an access key. Google allows you to create keys for service accounts. These days, IAM Roles Anywhere are recommended, instead of IAM users, to allow external service access to AWS.
I might add a non-network/security answer here eventually. Keep an eye out!
What is a JA4 fingerprint?
Terraform? CloudFormation? Something else?
Disagree? That's okay – different strokes for different folks
Do you like dogs?
I love dogs! (See the GIF FAQ below.) I also love cats. Most animals, really. Snakes and lizards are cool and I enjoy seeing them in the wild and in my yard. Goats seem like a lot of fun, but they need way more space than I have right now. But yeah, uh, dogs! Dogs are great.

Nikhil was very helpful — his response was extensive and even answered questions we hadn't asked yet, but which would likely have come up later. This way we have everything covered in advance, which saves us a lot of back-and-forth.

Steve was very helpful throughout the request. He provided clear answers to our questions, followed up on the RootGuard and CloudTrail points, and helped confirm the email distribution setup for the AWS management account. His responses were prompt, clear and easy to work with. Thank you for the support.

This ticket took 2 months to resolve. During about the first month, AWS support was treating the issue like it was user error and were putting no effort into verifying or replicating the issue themselves, even after being given extensive notes on the setup leading to the bug. I had to generate a bug replication QuickSight analysis myself and pass it over before the issue was taken seriously. I have had degraded dashboards in live use for the past 2 months as a result.

Excellent, clear, concise data that justified the overall messaging.
