is it just me, or am i paranoid? not every day you get an attempted social engineer attack from an potential insider threat, i suppose. i have a tendency to over-analyze things which leads to paying attention to psychological cues and patterns in people’s words and mannerisms, so i am documenting my analysis of a conversation that i had with a coworker that seemed a bit out of place.

cable guy

i was that guy that walked around aimlessly in your facility, accessing things i shouldn’t, and making your security look quite foolish in the process.

changes

working on some changes to the blog.

grayloggin0x01

i have been working with graylog as a siem on my home network recently and i am liking it so far. i was able to get my pfsense logs ingested and i was able to build some extractors for snort detections after a bit of research.

life has a weird way of kicking you in the teeth when you least expect it… and sometimes, weird shit just seems to be the only thing on the menu.

quitting to win

i made a decision this month to leave my position as cyber security engineer for the company i was working for. i didn’t quit for anything related to the actual company, rather it was moreso issues with myself. at any rate, i wanted to focus more on offensive security and security research and i needed a bit more flexibility in my life in order to do so.

update 004

haven’t been as active as i would like to be, but i intend on trying. stuff has been a bit hectic with work and all, so i’m trying to work around all of the stuff that is leaving me drained so i can make time for personal projects and radio stuff.
