The Food Truck Contingency Is In Effect.

In 39 hours I leave for DFIR Austin by car. With a teammate at DC/BH and another leaving on a trip when I get back, we had the talk today about the food truck contingency.

My goal is to live a life in such a way that my death is as inconvenient to as many people as possible.

[Eddie @[email protected] @InfosecLogger]

I have issues with people networking. Namely, I hate people, and until I know someone as a person, they are an object in motion.

However, I need to do a better job at maintaining connections with people who move on to different jobs. Like Gibbs says, you don't waste good.

You want a high powered laptop.
Your boss wants you to have one.
We get you a high powered laptop.

And the very first site you visit is pornhub.

Have the talk with family this holiday.
It is a perfect discussion topic that is neither political nor religious.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

Retweet that thing. You never know who may want to see it, but won’t unless you retweet it.

Help my man out and hype your regional cons!

Bonus for mid tier and nascent cons.

No Chicago, please.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

I’d like to piggyback on this idea. Recommendations?

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

Damnit, Vendor! Vulnerabilities are now the most common cause of those calls.

I swear I am a security architect in all but title.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

Security isn’t that different from any major knowledge job. You are always on call. The difference is we know what can happen. When a CEO is on vacation, they may get a call they don’t want. If they want to stay CEO they don’t ignore it. They won’t know what could be on that call

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

When my phone rings, there are only a few buckets that call can come from. I wrote my IR plans so that the only way I get called is one of the big ones. I’ve built a team to handle most things.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

This is true of most security jobs out there. Being the good guy is always more taxing.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

If you flaunt a behavior designed to create a reaction, don’t cry when the reaction you complain about is the response.

A.k.a. When you shovel shit over a fence, expect it to come back.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

@irestartpcs I can’t believe I’ve brain farted and forgot nmap. Thank you.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

I need a free tool for windows that I can use to test SNMP connections to verify vulnerability scanner finds. The systems being flagged show SNMP disabled in their settings, hence the need for independent verification.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

Some people don’t realize how well they’re doing until they see a teacher or mentor brought low.

Support those who have supported you.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

Thank you @rapid7 for a support team that is doing everything in their power to not answer my question so as to force me to use a different R7 tool to accomplish what I am licensed to with my current R7 tool.

Please continue waiving the “RENEW WITH A COMPETITOR” banner.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

When people attempt to dictate your behavior, it’s an attempt to control you. Never cede control.

[Infosec Ghost @InfosecGhost]

You should always POC a products logging and auditing. It’s also a good telltale sign of the company’s internal security.
