NGL I laughed. 🤣

Today I want to highlight the importance of having Dummy (Test) Data in your arsenal so you're prepared when you will need it. Like many hackers I keep a healthy supply of ancillary tools like word lists and corrupted files to test software. One of the most famous Dummy Data

You want to know why ridiculous job requirements are a scam and not reflective of reality? If they were me and every other techie wouldn't be spending our entire careers training users on things their job reqs said they had to have a Masters degree or be proficient in. No, Alex

BlackRoomSec Unlike almost every other profession, the tech field does not have a standardized and commonly accepted foundation of knowledge and skills. People don't know what they need to get hired, and hiring managers don't know what they need to hire. I just ranted a little about a few

All this tech at our fingertips and we're still having meetings to discuss, wait for it, more meetings. Let's skip the AI Revolution and go straight to Opt-in Telepathic Conversations where you get to ping my brain and I get to toss your 'call' into brainmail.

Jake is correct here, once again. The 2024 job market is the most idiotic thing I've ever seen in 3 decades of working. Lots are unemployed and can't find jobs. I've been unemployed since May. Jobs are asking for 7 to 8 interviews for entry level roles which is absurd. For

Last tweet for the night and I know I bring this up all the time but I just feel like we haven't discussed it *enough*, what do we do during the apocalypse when there's no electricity? We've spent our entire adult lives helping others in time-sensitive, emergency/critical

If anyone can help with a job, I'd greatly appreciate it. Lack of reliable work is affecting Why's living situation in a critical way. San Fran Bay area. Tech Support role. Unemployed for a long minute. Urgent.

Please do. Knowledge is essential. I wrote a thread once on hacking tractors and received responses (and was educated a lot) by hundreds of farmers around the US and world. The information I was sent and collected are on an external drive I have and it's several hundred gigs

No, go into cybersecurity. We need red hot passionate people to defend against the onslaught of bad stuff out there. It used to be viruses would display dumb messages on the screen or rain down alphabet letters. Now they're taking over kids hospital networks and holding

I want to go back to the days where I would kill an entire Sunday afternoon fighting to get a Soundblaster card to work in a client's pc just so they could play King's Quest VII. You think I learned on the job? No, my dearies, Sierra taught me resolve like no one else ever

Ok we're trending again. Who trolled the normie promising to hack their exes Insta?

I was in a convo recently where 'security as insurance' came up again... and I think we really are going to be maintaining the status quo if people only look at or treat security as 'RISK MANAGEMENT' it's not JUST THAT! so I wrote a small blog about this subject.... is security
