PSA - If you're building AI analysis systems, add a critic as the last step. Not as a replacement for a human adjudicator, but as an independent sanity check on the verdict.

You're welcome.

[David Porco @OMENScan]

@anton_chuvakin I guess it depends. Are you using AI to just commoditize what has already been done, or are you doing something creative and new that was not practical before AI? Finally bringing those crazy ideas to life.

I've never heard the term "Stacking Knowledge" before. But now I have a perfect description of what I have been telling early professionals for as long as I can remember.

This is the way.

[Dave Kennedy @HackingDave]

My son is taking a cybersecurity class at the career center, he is normally a C/D student - straight A's in cybersecurity.

He had a pop quiz today and he was like dude, these things are so hard. I was like - "OK just fire off the quiz questions to me."

Mason: "Whats telnet port?"

Me instantly: "23"

Pop3 / 110

RDP? 3389

FTP? 20/21

DNS? 53

HTTP? 80

HTTPS? 443

Mason: "alright tough one... what steps would you do if you couldn't RDP to a server?"

Me: "port scan, is it open? No? Firewall issue or RDP isn't enabled on that system or... using old version of RDP due to CredSSP."

Mason: "OK, you the goat. Dad, you actually know your stuff."

"And you can too, just keep going dude, I started from the same point you did, all about stacking that knowledge."

I've worked with many disruptive technologies as they emerged: LANs, PCs, the Internet, cell phones, cross-platform software, cloud - and now AI

I've programmed in a dozen languages, but I solve DFIR problems. Code is the vehicle

AI is changing the vehicle. Fascinating times

@JBONAMASSA @KevTheCave I happened upon that record in '81 or so. That song has been in my top 5 ever since. What a performance! Played it again today to remember what a huge talent he was. RIP

@jaysonstreet @defcon I am at DC @BlueTeamVillage every year. It would be an HONOR to meet you. Please stop by next year, or ping me, would love to have lunch and chat.

Great and stereotypical DEFCON experience. About to kick off our panel at @BlueTeamVillage on Threat Hunting when Cliff Stoll just walks up and takes over the mic to discuss modern threat hunting compared to his days

I didn't know what to do but stand shocked 😂

[Blue Team Village @BlueTeamVillage]

Everything runs locally in Kubernetes so even if the internet goes down, you can continue with your investigations.

@gguworld I saw them in 1980 - When Halford rode that Harley onto the stage it was like no other concert I had ever seen. It was unforgettable.

[David Porco @OMENScan]

Bought a cafe racer style ebike today. Wife bought a standard ebike.

It's like I'm 14 years old again. Riding around all day with my partner in crime, just exploring.

Add in the metro, and the adventures are endless.

Why didn't I do this sooner.
