Jerry š¦šš¦It sure is a good thing people chased away CISA last year. I mean, look at the propaganda they post. Iām super glad we made people stay on the other site to access this filth.
Yes, Iām having a moment of bitterness
Viss@jerry there are a lot of people who say infosec things, and say that they do infosec, and like to talk about hackery things who are out and out frauds, and for some reason their opinions are taken as gospel and rebroadcast as though they should be taken seriously. and the horrible part is others seem to take them seriously. its like a dr. nick clone farm. its unfortunate computer security has zero barrier to entry
solid-snail@Viss @jerry Pretty sure I'm missing context here, but there is a barrier to entry to security. Proving your skill. You either find a vulnerability or you don't. You either catch an APT or you don't.
If you want a barrier of entry to voicing opinion that's a different story. I'd argue that it's problematic though.
I'd argue the underlying issue is the difficulty of evaluating credibility, and that it isn't specific to the world of security at all.
@solidsnail @jerry so you know how to be a doctor you have to go to school for a while? and actually learn stuff? same goes for physicists, lawyers, master mechanics, chemists etc etc etc...
well that doesnt exist in infosec.
you can just dye your hair purple and call yourself a social engineering company ceo now and suddenly you're getting invited to facebook to give a preso of stolen slides to their team.
its .. a very big problem
