My 10 year YouTube anniversary

10 years ago I posted my first YouTube video. Recorded it on my laptops webcam and edited using Windows Movie Maker. https://youtu.be/No4nT_IfATE It's been a great 10 years, and while I haven't gotten any of the coveted YouTube awards for having millions of subscribers, it's been a great journey. Not only did I learn a … Continue reading My 10 year YouTube anniversary →

Something for conferences

This isn't a real post, it's just a bit too long for Twitter, so I'm thinking out aloud here. Inspired by this tweet by Dan Cuthbert https://twitter.com/dcuthbert/status/1122415486136877056?s=20 I absolutely agree with Dan that we sometimes need to look at the content we have and consider the best medium through which it should be shared or … Continue reading Something for conferences →

Lost All The Money

After a several year hiatus, many creative differences, multiple instances of rage-quitting, and several occasions of ghosting so good that Patrick Swayze would have been proud - the group I founded, Host Unknown, has released it's much-awaited third song. We've covered security certifications, and we've tackled risk management. But this time, we've locked on to … Continue reading Lost All The Money →

As I didn't get to attend Blackhat, BsidesLV, Defcon this year, I've been reading up on writeups from people that did attend to catch up on all the good knowledge that was shared. One of the interesting writeups I read was on CSO Online with the intriguing titles, The best and worst of Black Hat … Continue reading Rocking IT →
