Trying is the first step towards failure. You do it again and again and again until it becomes second nature.

It would be a huge mistake to keep thinking of China as the same cyber threat actor we were dealing with ten years ago. Let's talk about it.

See you on Thursday for a more in-depth discussion.

There's no straight roads to get into this career, and there are absolutely no straight roads when you get to this career. It just doesn't exist.

Coolest website you will see today. What's your lesser known gem? godbolt.org

Has anyone confirmed this? Or is it crap?

God I hate the fact that Threat + Hunting is being called "Thrunting." And we now have Threat + Hunters who are "Thrunters." This is all I can see when I see these terms...

I’m heading out for a few days with the crew from RECKAH Publishing.

In case you haven't heard about our new comic series, The Future Is******. It’s a wild blend of sci-fi, tech, and good storytelling.

If you’re in the area, I’d love for you to stop by, say hi, and talk shop for a bit.

Almost ready for SOC CORE Skills.

Remember this is a Pay-What-You-Can course.

Here’s the deal: you pay what works for you- whether that’s full price, a little, or nothing at all.

See you there.

We are going to cut them back at @wildwesthackinfest.bsky.social. They will still be an option, but not given to everyone.

We want the people who are interested to be able to do it. But giving it to everyone is a waste.
