A message from our keynote 🤗 @jaysonstreet.bsky.social 🤗 about why you shouldn't miss BSides Leeds! We will be announcing our full schedule very soon, but tickets are now live for BSides Leeds - Go Go Go! www.eventbrite.com/e/1323906332...

Whatever you think the plan is, it is almost certainly stupider.

“Business travel must be so glamorous…” Me: My room fridge froze my dim sum from yesterday. FWP, I know. But my jetlagged ass is HUNGRY.

White Hat Ballers 💕

Happy Friday (also, white hat ball) Eve, frenz! How’s your week going?

Week two of my fabulous new job at @vaultree.bsky.social is in glorious full swing. Lots of reading and meeting with incredible people are afoot! I set up our Bluesky account on Friday, and I’d love it if you’d give us a follow please thank you yes 😊

Back to low carb lyf on Monday (also: work!) but today we feast on Scottish goodness. #PizzaCrunch #Haggis #DeepFriedMarsBar #GetInMaMooth

I sit down with Lou Covey, veteran cyber security journalist and we talk 2025. China's relentless assault on the USA is perhaps not what you think it is - Cyber war may just be cyber politics by other means. You see what I did there. cyberprotection-magazine.com/a-new-year-a...

Some of you have been busy scheming what bottoms I'll be wearing on this run. Some of you awesomes have been very busy making it happen. £300 in 3 days - just another £700 in 5 days to go before @nikkic360.bsky.social chooses what bottoms I wear on this run too 😬 www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5

The wrong was righted. #Boursin #Boursins #NotSansBousin

just a reminder: it’s okay if you get overwhelmed today. there’s a lot going on: noise, people, emotions. demands for your attention/energy. so take a few minutes. find a quiet space to catch your breath. check your phone. do a quick reset. you’re doing great. hang in there.

36 years ago today, Sgt. Al Powell was dispatched to investigate a prank call. He ended up saving countless lives at Nakatomi Plaza. Today, we remember and honor his bravery.

This totally my new aesthetic until something better presents itself. Which might mean this is my forever aesthetic tbh.

Side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest, side quest to Bluesky to post about side questing. Change the damn duvet cover, Sam!

I’m calling the police

I swear to sky fairies Goldie Lookin Chain made up songs to play me as I was wrapping presents. Ngl the John Lewis Christmas ascent was a lot. Then I thought we’d peaked at an Alex Jones backing track. But no. And none of my friends are online to verify #MikeBallsFeverDreams #GLC #Halp

In this year’s Hans Gruber awards nominations: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #FlyLikeABird

I know we’re all excited for the Gavin and Stacey finale but why the hell didn’t we also get the live stream of the Baby Reindeer court case for Christmas? I’m not up for waiting another year, ffs. Snet form my ipron

Hack birthday, family birthday, besties birthday… completed it allllll, m8. 💕 Now we can start playing Christmas. 🎄🎄🎄🎄

Festive goals 🎄 #ChristmasMovie #DieHard

Each year we try and raise some money for charity, this year is no different. The attendees for #BSidesLDN2024 have graciously donated and the Just Giving page (thanks Rosie) is still live. We give it a few days in case you wish to donate and post the final sum of the cash, card and JG donations.

BEAR.

When you get home exhausted in the bestest of ways after a marvellous few days cybering at #HackersInTheHouse and @bsideslondon.bsky.social with lovely frenz, and there’s a care package from my buddy and fellow jockey of the discs @don1.bsky.social waiting for you 💕

Making boys (and tigers) wist since 2024 m8 #MerryWistmas

I know this is way late to the party but Tesco presented this opportunity only yesterday so I can’t argue with those rules and neither can you. #GaryBarlow #GaryBarlowsSon #CryingInTheAisles

Sole parent tonight, which means I’ve been left in charge of an important job. BINDAY! The #BONCL complaints desk is point blank refusing (lol) to get involved. Her loss, frankly. #WatchYaBassBinsImTellinYa #Binday #GetBin

Okay now I'm dizzy... There's gonna have to be a lot of these 2024 highlight videos! @scottmcgready.bsky.social @2600manchester.bsky.social @ladycyberrosie.bsky.social @safesecs.bsky.social @binarysleeper.bsky.social @phat-hobbit.bsky.social @anguasec.bsky.social

Today’s poem is called ‘An Update to My Privacy Policy’.

Sleep no more… My god that was INCREDIBLE. Seeing David Tennant tread the boards was glorious. The entire cast were absolutely bloody knockout too. Seriously, go see it if you can. #Macbeth #DavidTennant #Theatre #Shakespeare #Dahling

Happy Monday frenz! Hope the new week is treating you well 💖

Which of you lovelies will I be seeing at #DefCamp next week?

Didn’t expect to tick off “getting run over by a mobility scooter on a train platform” on the bingo card today but here we are.🤣 (I’m fine)

Big coat and also bobble hat have been deployed. This is not a drill. Brrrrrr.

I’m not leaving the other site, at least not yet. Mostly to rubberneck, but also because there are still good people and/or folks I like there. I totally get the concept of another site/app to get involved with is a tad exhausting. Like when someone says “I messaged you” & it’s a lot and I’m old 🤣

I posted this on twitter too but In the run up to the end of the year I've discounted both of my ebooks in a bundle to $7.99 which you can get here: leanpub.com/b/LearningTh... it’s a great option for students and people wanting to learn more about Security and getting into the industry!

Have a good weekend whatever you're up to and thank you for all the good vibes today. I'm just about to crack open a beer and watch this while it's still up on Amazon! #smtmtm

Finally! #AI

More wists from this past week. Part Juan, featuring @almurray.bsky.social, lovely London frenz, and a static @maxverstappen.bsky.social #WistThePlanet #MagicalWisteryTour

Saw the DMT scouser chap in Aylesbury last night, and he understood the stage door brief perfectly 🤩🤣 #LifestylesOfTheWistAndFamous #WistThePlanet #GottaWistEmAll #PabloTour

If you see this, post a vampire

Oh yeah I was up at 6am in Ibiza 💃🏼 Having already been to bed. Because I knew I had an early start and I do have the ability to be sensible sometimes yes 😂

Seeing the influx of tech people coming over to Bluesky reminds me that we *all* made tech twitter what it was, not the other way around.

My wobbly arse is strutting through the streets in Londinium in under 13 hours to raise funds for those AMAZING lovelies at The Cyber Helpline. If you can spare a little cashola, I’ll love you forever. True story. #Infostep #Gizaquid #Charidee www.justgiving.com/page/samanth...

Brandy burner. J’approve.

I used to live in this building… It definitely had more alcohol in it at the time.

OSINT challenge 💕

When you end up in hacker basement in the wee smol hours in Glasgow. There was even lotion and a hose* *there was not. Stop it, Sam. 😀
