GrrCON was a blast.

Glad to get back to events.

The learning continues.

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

Might as well. I'll still keep an eye out here, too - infosec current events and all...

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

Dog bed? No.
Bean bag chair? Yes.

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

This dude is gonna -love- the colder weather.

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

I will miss ATL with all my heart, but I’ll be back to visit.

Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan, here we come.

I spent most of Friday sick on the couch with some form of stomach bug. At least the dogs were kind.

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

@sherrod_im Yeah, this is fire. Good stuff.

“I’m not responsible for the missing picture. Nope. Wasn’t me.”

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

The small dog bossing the big dogs around. Nothing to see here.

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

A few months later, somehow, this is still happening. I’m still getting this kind of attention on LinkedIn.

Even got a follow request and an immediate follow-up email today with the subject “please advise.”

Oof.

Is tracking associate-level employees down on LinkedIn actually a successful sales tactic?

Asking for my flooded inbox.

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

Just Great Dane things.

Bonus close-up of the snoot.

Another Doggo has been added to the fold.

Meet Luna, a Great Dane puppy that came to us through a rescue.

How the fuck am I supposed to care about infosec stuff when this shit is happening?

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

For pretty much all the dog photos that show up in my feed, know that I will take the time to click/tap the nose to give a virtual boop.

Here’s an aerial shot of Grady being a goof. :)

[💻 Sherrod @sherrod_im]

For people asking how to get into infosec, my current advice hasn't changed. Learn networking and PCAPs, learn how to watch traffic on the wire. It's my advice because it is a dying art and we need to hire those people. It's about me, not you.

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted here.

Life and career are going pretty decently. Some small things could be better, but they could absolutely be worse.

Here’s a pic of a tired Grady as atonement for lurking tendencies. Doggo got to meet a lot of people today.

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

Doggo says I should take breaks.

Happy Friday folks!

[Charlie Herren @ch_x00]

@Erinfosec It’s a feature, not a bug.
