OPM Indie Artist Seora and his song "Kiliti"

Wazzup Pilipinas!?




Meet Seora, singer-songwriter, producer, and the up-and-coming artist in the OPM indie music scene, formerly known as Mark Brando. Previously acclaimed for the standout track “Sa Pagtulog ng Buwan,” Seora, under his new name, released "Kiliti" on April 21, 2023, presenting a fresh sound that transcends genres and captivates global audiences.

Having transitioned from Mark Brando, Seora continues his musical journey with a revitalized identity and artistic vision. "Kiliti," a feel-good track that swiftly claimed the top spot on Spotify's Fresh Finds Philippines playlist upon its release, signifies a significant moment in Seora's evolution as an artist.

Inspired by the essence of embracing joy and lightness in life, "Kiliti" encapsulates Seora's personal experiences and journey with his partner, blending elements of lo-fi and R&B. The track resonates well with listeners, delivering a message of enjoying the present moment and cherishing the company of loved ones saying, “This is inspired talaga from my own personal experience, from me and my partner. I just love our relationship na parang you can do anything ‘pag magkasama kayo and at the same time na-e-enjoy niyo yung company ng isa't isa.”

Delving deeper into the song's inception, Seora discloses that "Kiliti" was sparked by an unexpected source—the ending theme song, "Kigeki" or "Comedy," from Season 1 Part 1 of the acclaimed anime SPY x FAMILY. He explains, “I'm a huge fan of 'SPY x FAMILY' and its ending theme by Gen Hoshino. The idea for 'Kiliti' sparked when my partner and I shared a playful moment of tickling while watching the show. . The lyrics of "Comedy" are sweet and sincere, particularly the chorus, which further motivated me to create a similar vibe. That's where I got the idea—what if I make a song like this? That was one of my reasons for creating 'Kiliti.'"

The shift from Mark Brando to Seora symbolizes a change in artistic expression, showcasing an exploration of diverse genres. Seora's commitment to musical innovation shines through the intricate composition and melodies of "Kiliti," inviting listeners into a realm of musical euphoria.

"‘Kiliti’ is dedicated to all joyful couples and those seeking love, serving as a reminder to embrace life wholeheartedly," Seora shares. "It's a celebration of the happiness found in relationships while encouraging everyone to cherish every moment, whether in togetherness or solitude."

Looking ahead, Seora remains dedicated to creating new music and showcasing his artistry through live performances whenever possible. Available on all major streaming platforms, "Kiliti" promises to uplift spirits and brighten days with its catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics.

Penetration Testing Service Industry Application

Wazzup Plipinas! I was reading several FAQs from Google, Websites, and IT blog articles about Penetration Testing Services. Whose main goal is to find any strengths and weaknesses, and vulnerabilities in a computer system. 

Made me think of people who are trying to scam banks, telcos or any company that involves email, finance, calls, text, and online transactions.  If you think about a castle, mansion, or a tall tower with all those great events happening. 

With several VIPs gathering or highly profile individuals. It is vulnerable to attack so advanced security is always needed.  So you see bodyguards and security are everywhere. Same with IT, if you are talking about millions or billions of dollars worth of assets. Even a database you need to protect it at all times. 

Just like any problem, there is a solution and steps on how to do a test. A usual doctor would check to see your vitals, examine your health conditions, ask about your laboratory results, and then make a prescription and remind you of things to do list and meds to take. Same with penetration testing that is developed by a group of experts. 

Because security threats may come from internal or external. Meaning to say from everybody like employees, former employees, or even competitors. Trained IT professionals/hackers within or outside the organization who will perform unauthorized access or transactions.

What they do first is the pre-engagement interactions determining the scope and goals of the organization. Next, they do intelligence gathering of public information and locate a potential enemy or threat. Then they determine those threat models by a potential attacker's intention and target organization. 

And do the vulnerability analysis which is the core of people thinking and analyzing potential hacks and security flaws. Next is the exploitation, in which pen testers use vulnerabilities they discover to bypass active countermeasures. 

The pen tester maintains control of the system to ascertain value and relationship with the client.  Last is the pen tester delivers a comprehensive report to the client on the pros and cons of a certain or potential cyber attack. To know more about  network penetration testing services
