In the most Midwest shit imaginable, we had someone hit a deer on the way up to Alex Tech for CCDC this weekend. Fortunately everyone involved is fine.

Identity security in restricted environments shouldn’t be limited to periodic reviews. BloodHound Enterprise on-premises enables continuous Identity Attack Path Management without cloud connectivity. Learn more ➡️ ghst.ly/4kadAi0

I have apparently been making a name for myself amongst college students. The kids in western region for CCDC are demanding that I help out over there now

5 days till MN CCDC! Looking forward to ruining some student’s days! 😈

Started Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and holy shit it’s fantastic, and I’m only 3 hours in.

⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics show a significant decline to internet connectivity in #Greenland with high impact to capital Nuuk. The incident comes amid reports of a city-wide power outage of unknown cause 🔌

Pissed

Now, I’m definitely not a lawyer, but the fact that there even *had* to be a ruling that this violated the 4th amendment is insane. Of course it did. It’s literally the example used in 9th grade civics textbooks.

and while you’re here, ready my story today: 8 weeks under siege in Minnesota minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/23/8...

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

It’s frozen eyebrows temperature outside

Power blip. A few friends apparently had it blip for them too. Lakeville, Brooklyn park, Zimmerman. All over the twin cities.

He’s right here. Same with engine coolant! For those of you who use primarily water-based coolant, keep the car warm to avert disaster!

I was recently laid off, so I’m officially open to new opportunities. If you need a Hacker, or a teachable moment using Red Team tactics. I can also be a trainer, community builder & liaison. I want more than a job I need a company & purpose I can believe in. Please share! 💜🤗💜

For any of you who doubt when I say “it gets stupid cold in January” please observe. Also note these are in Fahrenheit so the reasonable amongst you drop those numbers even lower to compensate for sensible units

Just left my Lego home to check the news. Best of luck with the snow Bible Belt folks

The fact that running WSL commands as root still runs it in the same user context as the user that ran WSL in the first place makes my inner red teamer sad. No free easy privesc for me.

MACCDC completed. Seems like students had fun!

Alright after a week of binge drinking in Vegas last week I took a week off. After my CCDC meeting tonight I’m cracking open a cold one to deal with this week

Apparently the D&D Lego set is retiring this year and so after the week I’ve had I finally picked it up before I can’t anymore.

Just released a new @specterops.io blog! I discovered that during client push in SCCM env's it's possible to remotely start WebClient and coerce HTTP from site servers for a relay to LDAP resulting in hierarchy takeover when WebClient is installed! 🫠 specterops.io/blog/2026/01...

Well I guess I’m doing Mid-Atlantic CCDC this weekend

Hellll naw. It’s gorgeous up there. We don’t need any more mines.

SCCM attack paths are messy until you can see them. 👀 ConfigManBearPig from Chris Thompson extends BloodHound with SCCM nodes + edges using OpenGraph, plus queries to surface hierarchy takeovers and escalation paths. Check it out: ghst.ly/45FCP5G

For those of you here who are responsible for defending SCCM, my coworker released ConfigManBearPig, which allows you to map SCCM attack paths with the rest of your BloodHound Graph! specterops.io/blog/2026/01...

Thanks to @swiftonsecurity.com my programming session tonight will be powered by a mashup of all the variants of one winged angel I can find on Apple Music.

2 student loans to go!

Async programming in Python is confusing but I think I’m starting to get it.

Been out in Vegas for a work thing the last week, and it’s fucking crazy how much shits been set on fire in such a short amount of time.

One of my favorite new year videos!

The Disappointment PC Build is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHO9...

Mongolian BBQ place killing it with the sauce named “Burn your village BBQ”

I can’t believe I have to say this but preaching to a man on the shitter in public is extremely disrespectful.

This is currently me as I try to enjoy the longest bout of time off I’ve ever had (2 weeks). I’m sitting here fighting the urge to be productive. Or at the very least, focusing as much time on hobbies and camaraderie as I can.

I have spent basically from 1700 to 0300 painting. I am going to get this fucking game done by EOY if it’s the last thing I do

CECOT has a max capacity of 40,000. There are over 50,000 Black men in solitary confinement in the US today. Black men are most likely to be falsely arrested and charged while 100% innocent. You can be in jail for over a year before your trial. During that time you can be forced to do slave labor.

Operation”finish painting scythe” is a go. Gonna get that fucker done painting one way or another by the end of the year. 2.5 factions to go, plus 1 additional mini.

Back home from family obligations. Maybe I go back to my Rimworld death cult.

Welp I played Rimworld for an obscenely long time

Let’s start a colony. A death cult. That sounds fun.

Hey everybody! It's that time of year again - Reviews! I wanted to get this one out a little before the holiday break started, so I'm going to release it today: surveymonkey.com/r/Mythic2025-2… This is a quick survey for Mythic over 2025 and what you'd like to see going into 2026.

I like action RPGs because it makes me feel like people who play video games in commercials.

LinkedIn is doing a Spotify wrapped. I just watched it because why not but like holy hell it was cringe. Also it runs at like 10fps for some reason.

Holy shit it’s 42 outside. T-shirt weather!
