Winter is coming.... If you are near #GRRCon, catch @mattrix.bsky.social and I tomorrow at 1130am...or don't...dont really care.

I didn't think I'd post this writing I did, but after finding it again yesterday, I thought it might be interesting for some to read. If you're struggling, there's light at the end of the tunnel: ilovesec.substack.com/p/six-ticket...

FTTP BABY PANCAKESCON IS ON

Saturday

These showed up today, they'll be scattered around @defcon.bsky.social and Layer One. Cherish your loved ones

As always, Fuck Cancer. You will be missed, Bind.

The hacker community lost one of its kindest souls yesterday. I lost a best friend. The cancer can't fuck with you anymore, you still won in my book. Rest easy, Aaron (Bind).

Ps. His gofundme to help with final expenses is still live and also health insurance is a scam and I hope they burn. www.gofundme.com/f/aarons-fli...

Fuck Cancer- Things have been insanely difficult lately. Some stuff is so absolutely day by day moment by moment.. Appreciate having family and friends close contact

His family are heartbroken to share that Aaron[@bind.bsky.social] passed away peacefully after an epic, defiant battle with cancer. He was kind and generous, endlessly creative and inspiring to others. He fought like hell. We miss him deeply.

fuck.

No words.

One of the best people I know and an amazing friend!

[BREAKING NEWS] We're currently five months, and three weeks away from the #defcon @defcon.bsky.social 33 sticker outbreak! Get prepared people. View guidelines here & spread the word > defcon.org

Probably one of the coolest places I've seen my ilovesec.com sticker posted! If I can't be in the snow, at least an extension can be. Awesome also seeing the @GrrCON sticker too.

If you see this, post bridges.

You will never, ever, regret supporting your friends and loved ones. Ever. Do so with reckless abandon. Even if they don’t notice. Support them. Encourage them. Cheer them on. Without apology and without reservation. Trust me. Do it.

They are really trying to bring the #bots here. Kudos to them getting smacked down. I keep getting excited thinking I have an alert, then it goes away. Keep up the great work!!!

I miss the good old days when we were in the FA phase and not the FO one. That's the worst.

Two CFPs submitted! I’m ready.

Happy 37th anniversary of the Max Headroom Incident, to those who celebrate.

@circuitswan.bsky.social put together a pretty good list of cfp tips: sites.google.com/site/amazonv...

For someone who has never done a CFP for an #infosec conference or one for any conference, are there any suggestions for format? Looking to put something together and am looking for some recommendations, if anyone has them.

Same! And consider this CTI list of folks if you haven’t already seen it, you’re on it 😅 go.bsky.app/TxQYHap

If you have a moment, I'm looking for feedback on my links page: https://www.ilovesec.com/links

Almost embarrassed to post this, but I've always used Fiddler or Burp for capturing things like this... I didn't have admin rights and was trying to capture network traffic from a pop-up, so Dev Tools wasn't working Apparently this is built into Chrome/Edge! So cool :) edge://net-export/

If you are in cybersecurity repost this so we can all follow each other 😬

threat actor = someone who wants to punch you in the face threat = the punch being thrown vulnerability = your inability to defend against the punch risk = the likelihood of getting punched in the face

The past week or so has shown a lot about how dysfunctional the family really is.

It’s coffee time!

For some reason over the past year and a half I’ve been moving to trying to self host some of the tools and applications I had been using, and from the sounds of it, perhaps this was a good move looking ahead.

I officially did what I was supposed to today. I #voted - let's go!

I’d like off of this rollercoaster, please!

That one time I did FIU at GrrCON

Don’t talk to me or my son ever again

For those who may not know, there’s a tool to help the transition to BlueSky: github.com/kawamataryo/... - isn’t 100% accurate all the time but has helped intensely follow accounts from that other site.

One of the coolest things I've seen this year was @mog.evil.af deciding to conduct a presentation (with slides) completely via command line. When I grow up, I wanna be like that!

So are we all moving over here now? Asking for a friend.

Warning: Side effects of our mentored speaking program may include increased stage presence, uncontrollable knowledge explosions, and a sudden urge to wear bow ties. Apply at your own risk! BSidesLV Proving Ground, CFP open until March 3rd: pretalx.com/bsideslv...

I feel like I’ve neglected this space. Well, here’s to another few months of neglecting this space!

Excited to be presenting for the second year in a row at @defcon.bsky.social - Never thought I'd find my name on an official part of the convention when I lucked into attending at DC26. I'll be presenting live on Saturday at Blue Team Village, and I'm so looking forward to it.

What is this?
