The guy silently eating his kebab and chips is without a doubt the scariest guy in there. He doesn’t tense up, and he stays vigilant but uninvolved. This is the look of a person who knows he can end all of this if he needs to. Legit.

Got randomly selected by TSA for an “Electronics Check”.
TSA: “Don’t touch your bags, just point to the pocket you keep your electronics in.”
Me: “Umm, all of them.”
TSA: “But which areas specifically have electronics in them.”
Me: “Seriously, man. ALL of them.

We started ingesting traffic in the RSAC SOC roughly 26 hours ago. We’ve seen 33,581 clear text passwords in that time. A lot of that is SNMP, but there are thousands of HTTP, POP3, and IMAP account creds in there too. Oof!!

In my 20 trips to DEF CON I’ve never had a single drink, or done a single drug. You don’t need alcohol or drugs to enjoy DEF CON, and if you’ve seen the way I behave there, you know this is true.

matters:
At 2019
@defcon
I went to the bathroom and a woman was weeping. She'd been at a stall trying to crack some cryptogram puzzles and the man in charge told her it'd be complex for her, she should to go to the "babies stall". She had a PhD in cryptography.

I don't drink alcohol, so when everyone is ordering drinks I will often say "Your finest Diet Coke, please. Only your finest." This place brought me my diet coke in a wine glass. Many lulz were had. Excellent bouquet. 2021? Good year.

If the world was normal, I would be in Vegas. Today we would be finished setting up the Black Hat network. Trainers would be testing their environments. I would be with my friends. But it’s not normal. And this sucks. And I hate it. I miss you all.

Don’t let people sell you Threat Hunting like it’s some kind of wizardry. Strong knowledge of foundational protocols and operating systems is all you need. Know how things are supposed to work, so when they don’t work that way it sets off alarm bells.
