Hey @pits666.bsky.social Do you come from a LAN down under?

Morning and happy Monday. Another cold one here with feels like temps -17F. Need more coffee.

A fucking contractor that doesn't even have a contract with us anymore should NOT have any say in our yearly reviews.

Bullshit. The asshole temp CISO is the one that filled out my annual review comments. Basically I don't do shit & need to do better. Fuck off! I am so irate & upset right now. If is wasn't for my new manager going in & changing my rating, I'd be getting fucked over.

Good news I found a mirror site to download and got the image I need. Bad news I'm in meetings the rest of the day.

Good news is I got my laptop. Bad news is I need to install it myself. The installing isn't the bad part. The bad part is Kali.org is blocked because it is labeled as a hacking site and I cant download the image to install it here in the office.

I'm apparently getting my Kali laptop today!!!

So things are kinda moving forward on this already. I'm being asked how I want my testing system set up (laptop, desktop, VM...) and my new boss says he has things in motion to get me off the grunt work of working tickets all day.

Just had my first one on one with my new manager. It went fucking great!! He is all on board (and it is his idea) to create an offensive security practice that I would run. He wants me to test one of our main sites we and customers use for labs and test results. I'm so excited.

Whelp. Twitter is down again.

New awesome Humble Bundle up. www.humblebundle.com/books/cybers...

So we are still stuck with this temp CISO that is terrible. He is now suggesting we setup and do a full POV of a new MFA platform by next week.

Yesterday 50 degrees. Today 20 and snow.

5 lost his second tooth. Bad news he accidentally swallowed it when eating a donut.

Sudo hasn't quite figured out how to lay in a dog bed.

Aaannnnddd done......

"Regarding your application for the Junior Pentester position, we are sorry to inform you we are moving in another direction. We want to offer some guides to help you in the future." Cool (keeps reading) "For $125...." Fuck off.

Hahahahahha

Confirmed.

I tired Sudo out. He doesn't even care any.

I'm not feeling ok this morning. I hate how unpredictable depression and anxiety can be.

Remember to update your passwords from Winter2025 to Winter2026.

I made it to 2026. What did I miss?

Happy New Year's eve everyone. In case I'm away when the new year comes Happy New Year to all of you. Those across the pond, let me know what the future is like. Thank you all for being there for me.

Sudo is just daring me to try and take his toy.

Who just added 80 (at least) server entries to our PAM with ssh credentials instead of rdp credentials and has to go update said 80 entries?

Next up, 8-bit Christmas. Watched: Gremlins National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Christmas Story

Finally did it. I left an ashy footprint trail from my fireplace to the tree like Santa was here for the kids to find in the morning.

Very unpopular opinion but Elf...not a great movie as people say.

Sudo wishes you a merry Christmas.

Cheers. Merry Xmas Eve. No work til Friday.

I received my package from @hackthebox.bsky.social. Now it feels official.

Spammers are getting lazy. I had to remind them to actually give me the link to click on.

That was the best game I've seen since the Bears came back against the Cardinals.

Whee!!

I renamed my doorbell now it is funny when it detects someone.

Hehehehe

Today's the day!!

I quit. I'm going to bed. Goodnight my friends.

Work on python? Nope.

So close.

Wow. I just got a second rejection letter from the same position I applied for from a second person. They really didn't want me.

Beginning a new journey today.

Nothing kicks in the imposter syndrome faster than looking at job postings.
