This is the only thing really worth saving, and possibly worth reading, that I ever posted to Twitter. #infosec #cybersecurity

@hacks4pancakes Saving for future reference.

This seems very real!

@hacks4pancakes "But they promised they'd reimage it last year!"

Hey, let's check to see if Mitch's custom implement is still... Oh, what the actual fuck!?

@hacks4pancakes seems I have been saved by social anxiety and a friend circle who are only prepared to brute force drag me to furry cons .. where I can hide behind a camera.
@hacks4pancakes the final stage:
“Be right there, I’m just googling how to establish a goat farm in the countryside where no one can find me”

@SecureOwl @hacks4pancakes

That's right around the stage where you try to buy envelopes in a package of three, so you won't have any left over.

@SecureOwl @hacks4pancakes maybe a different animal , I too have expressed my desire for a goat farm to my grew up on a farm tech friend, he gently advised me that goats were the windows 95 equivalent of the animal world.

@Fluzbug @SecureOwl @hacks4pancakes

That's a very mild description of goats. I'd characterize them more as a network full of junior devs who all have full domain admin privs and an unlimited cocaine budget.

@hacks4pancakes all bangers, all truth 😁👍
@deviantollam had to make sure that one was preserved
@hacks4pancakes tag yourself, I’m “I turned on logging and there’s all these brute force attempts!”

@hacks4pancakes the fricking "Psexec, again?!" Did an IR for a very large county government. Psexec popped up all over the place and having been burned before asked the admins. "Oh yea, Jim does that."

I slipped and said, "Please have him stop. That's what hackers do."

Second "favorite" is orgs that have 3 remote desktop apps they use...because admins can't agree on one. Second main reason is merger from a decade+ ago that never fully incorporated the other network, just setup a 2-way domain trust and "good to go."

@hacks4pancakes top quality content right there
@aeva @hacks4pancakes I’m at “move into platform engineering/developer experience with a focus product design and business alignment so I can influence better security decisions earlier in the business development cycle” Lolsobs what have I done

@Damekraft @hacks4pancakes that's rough ...

I think I've reached the "open a motorcycle repair shop so that I always have something different to ride" phase...

@aeva @hacks4pancakes can I wash the motorcycle parts for you I mean business on dirty parts in an ultrasonic bath hahaha
@Damekraft @aeva @hacks4pancakes Same here. So turns out it's not quite that simple 😂😭
@hacks4pancakes that is truly a standout thread, really.
I’m not sure any of mine are worth saving but I like to think I brought some absurdity between social circles.
Like how HACKOS PANCAKIA WISHES TO EXPAND ITS BORDERS
@hacks4pancakes
Darn... I chose poorly...
All I have is this and a bunch of corn warning signs.
@That_AC omg @SwiftOnSecurity remember this?
@hacks4pancakes @SwiftOnSecurity
And this is how we know Lesley remembered that TAC is weird but not bad weird.
Re-sharing the memory with Tay and not with cyberstalker investigators.
@hacks4pancakes @That_AC hah I still come across that in my photo timeline :)

@SwiftOnSecurity @hacks4pancakes

My packrat approach to image grabbing paid off. :)

@hacks4pancakes that thread is definitely a gem, and at least your tweets can be believably said to be your own. 🌽😹🌽
@hacks4pancakes there, that’s my best tweet ever.
@hacks4pancakes that was a good one, I remember it well
@hacks4pancakes I am in this picture, and I don't like it >.>

@hacks4pancakes well this is very accurate ... I believe I'm in the tertiary and quaternary stages.

"The bar idea is looking good"🤔

@hacks4pancakes Too accurate. I'll just keep questioning my career choices.
@hacks4pancakes Oh damn, that is high grade truth slinging.
@hacks4pancakes I take people just past the first stage and into the second with my intro awareness/training. Results have been good.. though some have fallen into the rabbit hole. I'm hoping less alcohol overall though. 🤞
@hacks4pancakes probably drink too much? That's someone with a low self-esteem
@hacks4pancakes ... but, which stage is "HAVE YOU DONE A THREAT MODEL???"

@hacks4pancakes this is too real. I'd add:

"Maybe i should quit drinking"
"I wonder how much I could make as a dog walker"

@egypt @hacks4pancakes I STILL walk past shops and go "I bet it's fun to work there" before I remember I have a career already

@hacks4pancakes today I deleted a lot of disk images I’d done forensics on. And this evening I’m sitting in the pub that I own together with a group of local geeks.

Damn. I feel seen here.

@hacks4pancakes
i think i'm somewhere in phase 2
@hacks4pancakes You also posted "Hey, we're holding PancakesCon online, date, details", which was a thing the community really needed early in the pandemic.
@hacks4pancakes Is there a term for going from the 1st straight to the 4th stage? Or do we just call that alcoholism?
@kilpatds Naa those are what we call coping skills

@cillic @hacks4pancakes I’m at the stage of “so I have been pigeonholed into a nontechnical role…”

“So I’ll learn the crap out of the subject (Agile) and try consulting. Probably pays more than what I make now, and as long as I get paid, who cares if anybody actually follows through with my advice”.

@hacks4pancakes I seem to have skipped straight to stage 4 infosec. Did I miss out?
@hacks4pancakes Old but still priceless 😂​
@hacks4pancakes Yeah, that sounds about right.
@hacks4pancakes Stage 5: Acceptance, and becoming a professional alcoholic.
@hacks4pancakes add to early stage -"TCPDUMP! Wireshark!", and then to the end stages "Why is my hard drive full of network captures ?" 😂​
@hacks4pancakes Much like the stages of grief, I think I've come to a point where this isn't a succession anymore, and I just throw myself against this chart every day and land on a different one like a roulette wheel
@hacks4pancakes but how would I have ever known of your Arctic cyber adventures?
@hacks4pancakes Sounds right. Just now in the process of trying to figure out which VMs I need to transfer to a new machine. Not sure if I have time to move to the next phase before I retire (whenever that is).
@hacks4pancakes - oh dear, I'm in Stage 4. Is there no hope?
@hacks4pancakes looking forward to your work here Lesley. Our best days are ahead of us!
@hacks4pancakes How did. I. MISS THIS???? Awesome thread. #InfoSec
