They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

I was recently laid off, so I’m officially open to new opportunities. If you need a Hacker, or a teachable moment using Red Team tactics. I can also be a trainer, community builder & liaison.
I want more than a job I need a company & purpose I can believe in. Please share!
💜🤗💜

@shenetworks Learning where you can use a simple script to automate some of your routine tasks can be tricky, but well worth it and could help free up some of that time to learn more.

@shenetworks Awesome! Congratulations!

@shenetworks "Mate" by Ali Hazelwood. Sequel to "Bride". (Thank you, @shenetworks for letting me know it was released)

@shenetworks Cassandra Clare - Shadow Hunter books. Easy read, but they have been fairly good so far.

@BentleyAudrey Similarly, if you tell them they have autistic traits (or other character traits) enough times, they are likely to begin thinking there is something wrong with them.

@BentleyAudrey One of the original complaints about Tiktok was how it intentionally targeted Western youth. If you play anti-establishment views enough times (and in various context such as jokes/humor, historical, etc), the audience (especially youth) is likely to adopt these views.

Ark City Car Show.

[Dave Kennedy @HackingDave]

This is extremely jacked up. City of Columbus suing security researcher for "sharing stolen data".

The data was already leaked, and completely contradicted what Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther that the information was encrypted and unusable which was false and proven by the researcher.

Clearly an example of where the City of Columbus is targeting a researcher to silence the completely fabricated responses from the Mayor.

The complaint: "Only individuals willing to navigate and interact with the criminal element on the dark web, who also have the computer expertise and tools necessary to download data from the dark web, would be able to do so."

Totally bogus, the dark web isn't this magical/mythical creature - and is easy to access. So anyone that downloads information from the dark web is subject to lawsuits?

The statement reads "In a press conference about the lawsuit, shown below, City Attorney Zach Klein says that the lawsuit is not about suppressing free speech, as Goodwolf can still talk about the leak, but is aimed at preventing him from downloading and disseminating the stolen information."

Hate to tell you this, but when its published online, regardless of on the "dark web" or on public websites - it's gone, your data is already public. It's already being disseminated and it is already stolen. The researcher had/has nothing to do with that.

So few companies in infosec realize the long-term ROI of simply doing things for free for the community.

I say, what goes around, comes around. Some will say, "if it doesn't generate revenue today, it's not worth doing"

I can point to many examples to the contrary.
