Don't just have a dedicated area, make it a place you want to work from. It seems obvious, but once you're working from home, it's easy to just cobble together a workspace in a room and call it an "office". Your off

P1) I don't see the current naming model as any worse than the disjointed CVEs of today. P2) What if all wide-impacting vulnerabilities were treated like this, regardless of theory or not; the vulnerability still exists. P3) Names are

Just to end this out, I do agree. I was not suggesting this resource be paid, but that they should have someone dedicated, even a volunteer.

I agree with your general sentiment, but if it were that easy, we wouldn't even be having the discussion. Nation states going after a campaign are likely to succeed, it's limiting the exposure if they do. To your point, there are

Campaigns should be finding ways to work with professionals from the cybersecurity sector, not looking for ways to bolster defenses on their own. The adversaries these groups face far exceed the norm when it comes to industry standards––you

The word "passion" is charged these days, but as someone who has successfully completed a number of long journeys (opensource projects, sale of company, 15 years of cardio, etc.), I think that has been the key to my success. In ot

While it's expected a technology company dealing with communication would be the target of external threat actors, I think there's value in Slack being very clear that eliminating the risks from a strongly motivated actor is not c

The security market is insanely hot right now and will continue to thrive. From my perspective, we are reaching a point where security is seen as a commodity, not some optional process––everyone needs to know about security, even if they ar

During the early part of high school, a few friends and I began attending community college night classes for subjects we got exposed to in our day classes. By the time I graduated, I was half-way through a AAS degree and considered continu

Unfortunately, the legal process has not caught up with the speed in which malicious actors can conduct their attacks. In some cases, infrastructure is used for merely a few hours before swapping to something new. It's a constant game

I'd assume so. More potential fake "subscribers" mean more bounced email and higher volumes which could be used as a early warning indicator for spam or reputation flagging. Slightly related, but I've noticed countless d

I'd like to see OVH take a stronger stance on actioning abuse requests for hosts serving malware before hearing about some paid protection offering. For those not fortunate enough to deal with OVH, if you report abuse, your information

This is pretty nifty. Cracking the extension open reveals a fairly basic API you can use to skip the extension. Here's some code to use it. https://gist.github.com/9b/f5fe434bf9965d673963884b56d93d9a On the privac

Planes work wonders for development too. After several trips and being on a deadline, I built my dev environment to be offline friendly (cached data, local libraries, etc.). Airports became the most productive locations for me because I cou

If you take the offer, do yourself a favor and bake some extras into your employee contract or add them into the deal. Not sure of the terms, but if you need to stick around, don't underestimate how long a year is when handcuffed. Ask

I've done a significant amount of research on these threat actors. Despite the high tech exfiltration method and nation state support, researchers were still able to easily find their infrastructure. Satellite communications were encry

I wouldn't quit without a firm idea of what you want to start; leaving your current role without an idea is likely to leave you more bored and questioning your decision. Having sold a company and worked at Facebook (not Google, but a g

Talk to your co-founder if you have one. If not, your wife is she's understanding. Having sold a company, it's one of the hardest processes to go through. It's not clear if your pain is from multiple years or the sale though.

I'd be interested in volunteering some time or access to data sets to help protect these sorts of things. Feel free to DM me.
