moar late-night scrolling turned into a full-on pattern recognition session. watched a bunch of videos today that all hit the same nerve in different languages. not sure if i’m losing it or finally seeing the code, but here’s the thread that won’t let go.

moar fun times at the work place doing appsec and pentesting after being challenged to hack an internal web app.

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.

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.

working on some changes to the blog.

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.

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.

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.

Blog post redux. I took the ameteur radio technician license exam and passed it.

hello, world.
