RTO from zero is in the books! The course, labs, and exam were awesome, and getting hands-on experience with Cobalt Strike was invaluable. Huge thanks to Rasta Mouse for the absolute banger of a course. I don't know how he does it. Maybe he's a wizard.

Only 2 hours until the Christmas giveaway! New gifts include ebooks from Swissky, more Hack.xxx giftcards, and a $500 course from Just Hacking Training!

Happy holidays, hackers. I wish you all health and happiness.

So much security advice could be replaced by rtfm.

How it started vs. how it's going. 7 months post-rescue, and I can't imagine not having this pup in my pack.

Hype!

Good morning, world!

Windows 10 support ends October 14th, 2025. It is the calling of the Linux nerds.

It's probably my fault for getting up to refill my water.

Through multiple rounds of severe storms and tornado warnings in the area, one of them has remained unconcerned. The other has been in hiding under my desk while I try to work.

It's the little things.

I honestly have never seen a weather pattern like this one. Multiple tornado warnings, multiple tornadoes. Multiple DAYS of tornadoes in the surrounding areas. This is nuts.

Me too, Goose. Me too.
