Today I am wondering if a lot of the bad behavior in infosec is just imposter syndrome gone toxic.

@wilallsopp @hal_pomeranz not necessarily disagreeing but why do u think that?

@MCole1008 @wilallsopp See a lot of bad behavior-- people tearing others down for no reason. Makes me wonder if they're afraid.
@wilallsopp @hal_pomeranz @AbatisUK @CyberSec_Awards Wil, where do u see the fraud angle? Hal I agree with you, how to solve?

@MCole1008 @wilallsopp Personally, I'm trying putting it out there that not knowing is OK-- admitting it is the first step to learning

@wilallsopp @MCole1008 The more I learn, the more I see that I don't know. Yet a lot of people tell me I'm an expert.
@wilallsopp @MCole1008 Be confident in what you know. Have the humility to learn what you don't know.

@synackpse Cheers! That article is what got me thinking about things this morning...
@wilallsopp @MCole1008 @daveaitel @halvarflake Perhaps they'd say the same of you in your area of expertise. Maybe it shouldn't be a fight.

@MalwareJake People tearing other people down because they're afraid of being exposed themselves. Getting angry when they fear exposure.
