Truly homecoming this year
@defcon
. Shout-out to friends both old and new that made this trip unforgettable and I'll see you beautiful people again next year... At minimum.
This year I wanted to push myself into presenting and sharing and not being afraid to do so. Shout out to
@jotunvillur
for connecting me with my first (and paid?!) speaking engagement and helping to shove me right into the deep end. Next up,
@CactusCon
CFP ;)
Had a blast presenting at
@CactusCon
this year. Funny to think back to my first CactusCon 10ish years ago and as I catch up with folks from those days how much we've all grown. Love this community!
I don't know what this "Halloween" is my kids keep mentioning, but I'm over here trying to figure out what colors best suit Cyber Security Awareness Month for the house trim lights. Is CrowdStrike making inflatable yard APTs yet?
I’ve done a lot of awesome things during
@defcon
, but I’ve never been more honored to be a part of anything than I am of

For anyone attending Defcon, do not hesitate to come up and say hi, as I have a severe case of not making eye contact or noticing people I know when walking around and will absolutely miss folks. Can't wait to see everyone!
I had to update my resume to include with my MBA application and man, how has it been 8 years since the last time I had to knock the dust off of it! Always grateful to have found a space in this industry that's such a good fit.
In translating Latin for an IR challenge coin I've accidentally stumbled on an apt metaphor for burnout: fortissimum ferrum conflatur igne receptaculum, or "the strongest iron is melted in a receptacle of fire". So IR burnout coins are on my to-do list :)
Now that closing ceremonies unlocked the memory that BSidesPHX 2012 was the beginning of
@CactusCon
, I'm definitely pulling out that badge for next year.

I'd look up examples of other companies that have publicly available ones and tailor the best sections together. Depending on who you're writing it for it can vary. Defining clear roles and responsibilities is important. I often have flowcharts ha
Mark your calendars -
@CactusCon
is Feb 16-17. Come visit
@DC480AZ
at SnowTalks, and buckle up for us hosting the official con after-party on Friday night at Level 1 Arcade Bar in Mesa. Come for the music, the mingling, the games, or to watch me be spectacularly bad at pinball!
I've got a bridge to sell you, from which we will dump all the computers into a river and run off to live in the woods where they can never hurt us again

My follower count went from like 10 to 98 after DEFCON haha. I'm just fortunate to have friends who know everyone so I'm holding onto those coattails to meet bomb people in the field. Don't follow me for the hard hitting DFIR content though haha

I'm not kidding we've been victim to non-consentual tuba all day for like a week. It would be more of a bop if I could hear any of the instruments other than the tuba penetrating our walls
I had a wonderful time in Kansas City presenting for
@NTCAconnect
! It was an excellent conference and a fascinating insight into the challenges particular to the rural broadband industry.
Thank you to all of our speakers and panelists who have joined us, including
@silhouette_sec
who led a breakout on incident response plans and NTCA members who spoke on building a cybersecurity workforce.

Fast forward: The "you wouldn't survive in the asylum where they raised me" meme with an image of CrowdStrike eating students' dev work in a school lab
At least ten years ago my eyes caught on a mug in some random mall coffee shop that had a delightful kerning problem. It was one of my most trivial but important life regrets that I didn’t buy it.
@eBay
delivers:
A bit of everything. With DEFCON it was tons of music to move to- but just maybe a month ago I was heavily binging TOOOL. Not generally a country fan. Rotate between top 40 type stuff, classic rock, alternative, "millennial" playlists lol but I steer back to party music
@Teck923
PREACH - what's a forensic image going to get me? I need that thing contained and just the relevant data to keep moving forward ASAP, nor do the legal situations that could require it pop up much. Fact of real world IR.
@seadev3
Turns out I CAN talk about ticket trends and phishing while simultaneously thinking about all the packing and primping on my to-do list between now and Wednesday morning....

A real answer is you can take the test and become an “Associate” until you obtain the right years of experience which is lessoned with higher education. That’s what I did back in the day!
Every once in a while this pops into my head when someone uses the phrase "working on squaring that circle" or similar. It's perfect for the struggle of securing an environment 😂
You're almost out of time to receive your shirt in time for summer camp. If you're caught partying in your DCP 22 shirt, you might score a party package. Remember you can ship your shirt to an Amazon Hub locker in Vegas.

RT for science.
@McGrewSecurity
Notably absent is mention of a home lab and boxes and boxes of hardware. Ladies love a soldering iron. But keep those birdwatching geeks getting sunlight outta here
@Teck923
My kindergartner came home with a packet on the difference between "big problems" and "little problems" and I think I could adapt this into "incidents" vs. "events".
