I'm an Assistant Professor of Information Security and Assurance at Kennesaw State University, in metro Atlanta.

I tweet about things that interest me in various ways. Sometimes that means infosec. Sometimes it means other things like Alabama football (#RollTide), marching bands, music, drumming, cigars, motorcycles, etc.

Anything I toot or boost here is my own opinion and doesn't represent the views of anyone who I have tricked into paying me money for whatever meager services I provide to them...

@mattblaze we've got an ongoing mess in georgia.

we were using printed ballots from ballot marking devices that had a qr code at the bottom. the scanners were reading the qr code for counting purposes, not the human readable portion.

the good news is that we passed a law requiring the stoppage of that practice effective july 2026. the bad news is that an effort to require hand marked paper ballots failed by 2 votes in the senate this session.

i wrote a bit about it at https://andygreen.phd/blog/2026/03/13/sb568-fails-what-next/

i don't know what's going to happen next, to be honest...

come join us for a great day of quality talks, workshops, and people!

i read a line somewhere that i think pretty well sums up a lot of what i've read and heard the last couple of days:

confident and wrong is a bad combination.

it can also be a dangerous one.

@krypt3ia that it is.

instead of being in vegas, i will be in south alabama, burying a dear friend of almost 40 years on saturday.

priorities...

i should prolly stay off social for a while...
