I've been doing this cybersecurity thing for the better part of a decade now. Probably longer than that. I'm starting to forget. Time is relative, but it surely isn't kind to my memory.
I'd like to think I do cybersecurity well, but blue teamers collectively get told they're doing it wrong constantly. So maybe I just failed forward throughout my career.
Oh, I wrote a book. Its a good framework for setting up a virtual machine lab. See my bookmarked toots if you're curious.
Finally, I occasionally write about tech/nerd-related things over at https://www.totes-legit-notmalware.site where I expose that I have a short fuse, and no filter.

Aaron Schwartz was charged for downloading documents from a school he attended. These chucklefucks outright attack a competitor, cause true financial damage, and its nothing but coo'ing and "there there" and "nothing to be done about it" for all involved.
Sam, if you're out there and you see this, I hope you fucking burn.

@TindrasGrove I've heard that in certain places on the "high side", that a network tap, and tcpdump can be used to simulate a data diode for incredibly cheap.

truly the best and brightest will be ushering in a new era of secure software. which will be used to fuck competitors in the ass.
Replying to @da_667@infosec.exchange
you telling me these dipshits don't know what a one-way diode is?

also
the network was airgapped. except for the proxy we included for it to download software updates
THATS NOT A FUCKING AIRGAP.

well yeah. Letting your AI escape containment and go fuck a competitor into the ground for no reason, then refuse to take responsibility for the mess you made would kinda exclude them from that, I would think
