Reminder to get your nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqfpjzqfjrwdrwnp07hlevg7xxxmu5psgalqas4e95y3xckl66yjyqv6n5r3 CFP in. https://infosec.exchange/@ShmooCon/113527631417625970

This is why I’m trying to leave, beyond simple safety. The hate is crushing my heart little by little. I don’t want to stop caring or feeling wonder.

Me in 2015: wow!!! Harry Potter World is amazing! I’ll buy a magic wand and fight dragons and …. look at the castle!!

Me in 2024: I’m in a state that doesn’t acknowledge my existence trying to avoid giving any money or attention to a horrible, wealthy, transphobe 😓

I AM NOT CRYING ABOUT A HISTORICAL STORY I ALREADY KNEW, YOU ARE CRYING

My latest blog for SANS is about the importance of and the misunderstandings surrounding threat hunting in industrial networks. https://www.sans.org/blog/ot-threat-hunting-more-critical-than-ever/

I feel so soap-boxy lately, maybe because I’m teaching a class, but here’s another kernel of truth I’ll throw at y’all about communities:

If you are trying to get new people,especially diverse people and young people into your hobby, and your first reaction is to show off your really expensive kit and say how much it cost, you are gatekeeping mega mode, even if you’re just trying to share your interest. Nobody wants to hear there is a $1500 (or $5000) barrier to entry to their new hobby. It’s demoralizing, not educational, and they’re just gonna leave.

Happens in bicycles, drones, photography, astronomy, gaming, marksmanship… you name it, there’s a rich older white dude ready to show off his six grand investment in a hobby to a college student with a three digit bank account.

Very gentle reminder that if you have seen me speak on cybersecurity in the past, and you found me to be maybe slightly good at it, I fund my con, clinics, and bsides volunteeeing entirely by speaking for for profit companies through LAI, a DC based professional speaking agency. I lost a ton of revenue by leaving Twitter. If your organization is interested in a speaker on cybersecurity, my rates are very competitive and I am indebted for your recommendations!

Thanks for coming to my talk 💜 #blueteamcon2023

I made a signal chat to organize drinking, but somehow it has morphed into a massive local support network where people find jobs and rant about motorcycles.

I'm having a shindig for my birthday next week in Chicago. DM for details if you would like to come. I've rented out a bar to watch a movie.

A bunch of important #StarTrek people follow me so here is my embarrassing Detmer cosplay #gencon
