READ THIS!! This is literally someone who last week didn't think she had enough technical skills to be in a "technical role" in security.
If you're doubting your skills, ask someone else what they think. Chances are you're not giving yourself enough credit.

Another Pay What You Can course is now open for registration: @hal_pomeranz's "SELinux – Necessary and Not Evil!" When properly deployed, SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) can prevent intrusions from happening. This 8-hour course starts 7/13. More: wildwesthackinfest.com/antis…

I've been getting asked recently again how to get started with reverse engineering. These are still my suggestions. The only change I'd make is using Ghidra instead of objdump as a free disassembler.

I get asked all the time how to get started in binary RE. There are tons of great resources out there, so #1 is just get started with something, anything! But if you're open to suggestions for building a strong, general reverse engineering foundation, here are my suggestions:

"No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country."
FDR said that 88 years ago. And we're still bending over backward to subsidize millionaires and billionaires to pay $10/hour with no benefits.

One of the best things you can do for any organization is to adopt the "no brilliant assholes" policy. You may have the "best talent ever" but if they can't work on a team, they're still holding the org back...

There isn't a parenting book or blog that will ever prepare you for how to answer the question all children eventually ask:
"Dad, what is cryptocurrency?"

Instead of ABC, NBC, and CBS the future is going to have Amazon, Netflix, and Disney

Normalize signal boosting underrepresented infosec people (of all types) just for its own sake and not to promote your own Twitter or aggregator, please and thank you. It’s not about you or me.

As a forensics person, “fileless malware” is one of those misnomers that always makes me cringe - and have to work really hard in classes to challenge preconceptions...

Also our former gymnast now diver daughter points out that the writer has the wrong idea if they think hitting the water from a 10m platform is a “soft landing”

Wow. Has it really been 20 years since I’ve been to LISA?

Forget the Defender's Dilemma and recognize that we have a lot of chances to succeed. We may not have the resources to take them all, but by choosing wisely, we can make an attacker's job MUCH harder while giving ourselves the best chance of success. (4/4)

Just a quick reminder that if you have an upcoming talk you are nervous about, I am more than happy to jump on a Zoom call and help you rehearse.
This applies tenfold to those from underrepresented communities.
CFP submissions aren't my strongest area, but speech prep is.

When someone wants to keep you down, ask yourself "why would someone care if I'm sharing my knowledge?" In my experience, most often you'll find that it's their own insecurity. It has nothing to do with you, everything to do with them.
Don't let haters keep you down.

A lot of people ask what the value if a good masters degree is in infosec and this is absolutely the best description I’ve seen so far.
Undergrad: Here is the problem, find the solution
Masters: Here is part of the problem. How does the solution change when the problem changes?
PhD: What is the problem and the solution?
Industry: Here is the solution, find the problem
