Rev up to Black Hat/Defcon

It’s been a fantastic week.  I’ve started a new position and I’m amped for the work. It’s been a long time since I was genuinely excited about working.  I think good things are in store.

Also we’re counting down the days to my first Black Hat and Defcon.  They say every Infosec person has to go at least once, and this is my time. Even got a village presentation that everyone is excited about which makes me nervous and excited as well.

Even if you’re not around hopefully people will catch the stream of the talks.

@CyberjutsuCon 3.0 – 2022

My First Post Covid Con

I’m currently sitting in the basement of a coferemce center, because my battery need a recharge. It’s not quiet, and people a near, but I’m sitting alone and just kinda soaking it all in.

I’m at Cyberjutsu Con which has the distinction of being my first ‘post’ Covid conference as well as my first conference as a speaker (albeit my presentation was pre-recorded and presented online).

Can I just say: Join the professional groups!! They are here for the community and networking everyone says we should be doing. I can definitely appreciate the Cyberjutsu folks for being down-to-earth and pretty chill. Everyone is helping everyone and the talks have been excellent.

I’m glad that they chose my talk and hopefully people are digging it.

Now let me get on my second presentation for this conference season….1 hint, via Las Vegas…..

Linux Study Gear

The 4th edition study guide is super accessible and easy to understand

All-In-One is a more technical, dense book

Flashcards always and forever in deck, I like the spiral-bound to keep them altogether and easy “flippability”…

Also, not picture Cybrary Linux class and ITU CompTIA Linux class

Cloud+

Comptia just announced a cloud+ beta. Think I might take it just to feel out the material, it’s $50 and I’m interested in cloud security aspects in the future, so why not. Next few posts will be about the road to studying this, linux and cysa…because why not I’ve got time.

Learning in Place

(if you’re so inclined….)

This is not going to be one of those post telling anyone to maximize productivity during the Pandemic. We don’t do that.

What this is is a running list of tech and cybersecurity geared learning opportunities that are currently having specials during the COVID-19 pandemic so that anyone that sees this and wants to pass it along or take advantage can.
