I did a bit of research and learning and have blogged about it an released some code. I wanted to understand Nirvana Hooks, specifically in x86. So I did a thing:

I love detection engineering, I think it is awesome and hugely needed, and its the future and all that. But I have no idea how to talk about it to a team of 1 (ONE) running a SIEM ...
Repeat after me: vulnerability management is not incident response.
We see an RCE a week, why do we randomly select a few to be OMGTHISBAD and scramble?
All those other RCEs being discriminated are sad... and still popping you.
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
@HackingLZ Some immature companies (ex; no SIEM or whatever) tend to go for RTs before PTs for leverage. mainly to get management to take a seat in the same room, listen, and take security more seriously ($$$).
I guess the general points are:
- We need more people to contribute to the profession
- We need to encourage people to share (coaching and validation are acceptable)
- The community that shares defensive content is smaller IMO. It would be great to see others in this space
The leap that it takes to publicly share infosec knowledge/content is generally underappreciated.
Often, folks who want to share with the community do not out of anxiety/fear of acceptance/etc.
And then, there is the asymmetry of those who share offensive content vs defensive.
