You don’t need a desk to build. I used AI more from my phone last month than from my desk. What mattered was removing friction and building where ideas show up. 👉 New on @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch: dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/you-dont-n...

“I’m not a developer” is a self-imposed limit. If you’ve written a query, a script, or an automation to fix a problem, you’re already building. In the latest @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch, we talk about why building is a core security skill. dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/why-you-sh...

🎤 The Autonomous SOC (Taylor’s Version) Guest post with @kassafras09.bsky.social AI hype is loud. Most teams are just automating chaos. Fix the basics first. Then scale the magic. Read it on @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch. dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/the-autono...

In the latest @thorcollective.bsky.social guest post, Sam Hanson breaks down two TTP-driven hunts — KurtLar_SCADA and a weird .NET Modbus binary — proving simple hypotheses > chasing IOCs. IOCs show where the fire was. TTPs show where it will be. dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/hunting-be...

October delivered AI agents, time mastery, and purple team curveballs. From scaling hunts like code to aligning GRC with threat-informed defense, this month’s Dispatch lineup from @thorcollective.bsky.social hit every layer of the stack. Full recap here: dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/dispatch-d...

In this week’s @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch, Sam Hanson lays out how to move beyond indicator-based hunting and build detection muscle that actually scales. 👉 dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/hunting-be...

If tstats gives you speed and eventstats gives you context...timechart gives you shape. This week’s @thorcollective.bsky.social SPL Dispatch breaks down how to use timechart to uncover rhythm, automation, and the a cron job masquerading as “normal.” dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/the-shape-...

Threat hunting falls apart when your “docs” live in Slack threads. Part 2 of the @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch Agentic Threat Hunting series covers the first step to scaling: put your hunts in a GitHub repo and give your AI bestie memory. dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/agentic-th...
