I definitely don’t know many who have made so much progress and growth in so little time

I respect the hell out of @ANeilan and vouch for his drive, passion, ability, and capacity to do great things

So, let’s get this wonderful human a new job helping us save the world, please?

[April C Wright @aprilwright]

Hiring? Need a fantastic #entrylevel cyber job candidate? THIS is your person:

Not sure I know anyone who has worked as hard as my friend @ANeilan to learn infosec from scratch, elevate self & others, share w/ community, & give talks in public!

[DC617 Boston Hackers @defcon617]

This is NOT how you engage with the InfoSec community

[DC617 Boston Hackers @defcon617]

Maybe somewhere outside when it isn't so effing hot?

You will definitely have plenty of time to do everything you want to do every day, so make lots of FIRM plans with people.

I wrote my report & this blog with a caveat that I only tested whether my attack vector could still repro, & told clubhouse it didn’t look fixed.

When they said the anomaly was a caching delay, I was suspicious an attack using the APIs was still possible

A person learns a lot about you in relationships. When it ends, can they use that information against you? At @BSidesBOS, we'll have @AprilWright talk about "Digital Separation: Reclaiming your data, post-relationship and implementing risk-based OPSEC"

*Spoiler Alert*

This thread contains the solution from yesterday's CTF which pointed to a Massachusetts @ANDnXOR #mattdamon #BadgeLife badge drop.

4 people I know of solved this, 1 showed up and earned themselves a badge!

1/?

[DEF CON @defcon]

The Human Plus can get out of linecon and into the pools if they want.

[BTD @TheDukeZip]

This is awesome. I’d like to publicly state that @ANeilan has been awesome at getting into this. In my mind he’s Boston’s #1 “most improved hacker” over the last year or two

That effort should be rewarded. @ANeilan you’ve earned yourself a @ANDnXOR badge. #mattdamon #badgelife

[BTD @TheDukeZip]

Has anyone solved this or do I need to drop a hint around 6 or 6:30 Eastern?

[BTD @TheDukeZip]

Badge drop *somewhere* in Massachusetts tonight - 7-9PM. Solve this beginner CTF challenge to obtain the location. Good luck! @ANDnXOR #mattdamon #BadgeLife

Start here: https://t.co/0I1UpWcC0O

Attention New England hackers! Challenge incoming soon, watch this space!

Allie is amazing. Listen to her presentation at Layer 8!

Privacy is a basic human right

Being a hacker is weird sometimes.

I just asked @TheDukeZip if he “already owns a stethoscope” for an upcoming @defcon617 project...
