@logangraham Hey Logan, would love you hear more about what you mean by “techno-philosophical”. Thanks!

2. On reflection, an attack generally is made up of steps to first subvert control flow of a program and then a payload to achieve whatever impact the attacker wants executed.... and if I squint I can sort of see these as magnitude and direction.

[Harbinger @JeremyHarbinger]

1. TIL the etymology of the word "vector" comes from "carrier", which makes sense in i.e. physics where it denotes a thing with magnitude and direction. I never thought about how the term works as in "attack vector"; my brain just cached it as "cool way of saying attack".

@Sam_Page_MK Glad you enjoyed!

Prisig wasn't talking about machines in the sense that readers of this tweet relate to the term, and he wasn't talking about hacking. Yet the attitude he is so wonderfully describing here fits perfectly with security mindset. Sometimes trying hard requires stopping to try.

"What you have to do, if you get caught in this gumption trap of value rigidity, is slow down - you're going to have to slow down anyway whether you want to or not - but slow down deliberately

and before long, as sure as you live, you'll get a little nibble, a little fact asking in a timid way, humble way if you're interested in it. That's the way the world keeps on happening. Be interested in it." - Robert M. Prisig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, 1974.

Looking forward to our chat!

[OffSec @offsectraining]

Our conversation with @clintgibler will cover how your organization can adopt scalable security engineering practices and build a culture within engineering teams to improve security posture.

@raelkx0 @offsectraining Congratulations!

Our new Secure Software Development Learning Paths offer some first steps into this synthesis, focusing on how developers can integrate security principles and concepts into their workflow.

[Harbinger @JeremyHarbinger]

Security is (at least) a two sided coin. It's one thing to be able to attack a web application. It's another to be able to write one with security in mind. To synthesize both though is one of the keys to improvements in security over time.

[OffSec @offsectraining]

🧵Have you faced security challenges or breaches in the past that could have been mitigated with more secure coding practices?

Our new Secure Software Development Learning Paths arm developers with the knowledge to integrate security into their software's DNA:

@DoingFedTime @offsectraining 100%. Getting unstuck is often a matter of becoming OK with being stuck in the first place. Easier said than done!

@robsware Hand in there, Rob! Could be cool to explore how LLMs can help with exploit development...
