Glad this is the last day of Cyber Security Awareness month so I can stop thinking about #infosec for another 11 months

Has anyone seen #linux?
Now that I’m caught up it’s absolutely wild that people want to block infosec.exchange because of feds making accounts while their #mastodon server lets you read the home timeline without logging in. I know you don’t like feds but your threat model is off
Congrats on your lifetime achievement award from SANs @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange well deserved
Realized that I never did an #introduction so here goes.
My name is Chase or Charles from #Dallas i’ve been in #IT and #infosec for almost a decade. I started out in helpdesk in college and moved onto #appsec and then #DFIR and malware reverse engineering. After my stint on the #blueteam side of the house I moved to #redteam and #pentesting by getting my #OSCP and #OSCE and worked there for 4 years where I got to do a lot of fun stuff like write a #c2 and find a number of #0days. Now I’m the CTO of Vector0 where we are building an attack surface management platform.
Outside of work while at home I mainly spend time #gaming or doing projects around my house and spending time in my pool. Otherwise I try to get as far away from a screen as possible by traveling and hiking/camping in places where I can’t be reached.
If you want to learn how to be a #hacker then you need to focus on the process and methods that other hackers use rather than the toolset. A common thing I see people wanting to get into the field do is they obsess over the #tools used or the right version of #linux to use or whatever, but none of that matters at the end of the day if you don't have the repeatable process and methods down to correctly identify issues and exploit them in anything you run into regardless of your knowledge of the system going into it.
@tinker@infosec.exchange recently threw up an example of this for #web hacking @tinker@infosec.exchange
Imagine buying a #tesla after knowing their engineers are making fun of you
When I first got here I was looking to figure out how to cross post between #twitter and here, but after using #mastodon for a few days I realized that would have been a mistake as the culture and vibe are way different and now when I see others #crosspost I think they are missing out.
I wonder if people recognize that if #Twitter doesn’t fail and #Elon actually turns it around with this #management style a lot more people and companies are going to using the same methods
What cybersecurity awareness training boils down to.
