To be honest I kind of hate "giveaways" because often times they are lame, but I have the opportunity to give away a pretty legit prize to one person and I also wanted to selfishly raise awareness to my podcast.

If you or someone you know is interested in entering for a chance to win a free Blue Team Level 1 certification voucher, all you have to do is subscribe to my podcast for free at https://www.infosecsidekick.com

I'll be releasing a conversation with the CEO, Joshua Beaman later today and announcing a winner later this week.

Please feel free to share, boost, and comment on this post to reach those that may benefit most from this.

I wish I could give away more than just one...maybe in the future I will...but for now, this is the best I can do and I hope it really helps someone out there kickstart their career growth.

I released an episode of the podcast with the creator of Loobins.io, @infosecb !

Two months ago, I decided I wanted to end my streak of lazy COVID era habits. My one metric was going to be to run a mile without stopping. I didn’t care how fast it was, just to do it.

It took about a month of dedicated jogging/running. But eventually I was able to do it. I remember… it was like a 10 minute mile lol but the crazy thing is that it felt like I created a habit. Now, almost two and a half months after I made that commitment, I ran a mile in under 8 minutes for the first time! It feels good man.

Heart health scares me. Whenever I think about the fact that there is a beating ball of meat inside my chest I have a mini existential crisis… this has gone a long way to combat that.

I guess I’m posting this to celebrate an achievement, but I also hope someone can read this and decide they want to improve on something for themselves. Whether it’s running like me or a skill or anything else. It’s about building habits and just sticking to it.

🚨 A new episode of the Infosec Sidekick Podcast is now available! 🚨

I was so happy to have a conversation with someone who has a ton to share on the subject of Threat Hunting; Shahar Vaknin.

Listen Here ➡ https://www.infosecsidekick.com/p/beyond-reactive-defense-the-art-of#details

🔎 Threat Hunting is a CORE part of any modern Cyber Security strategy. In this episode you will learn about Shahar's background and how he came to lead the high-paced threat hunting Team Axon at Hunters.

In typical new interviewer fashion, the first question I ask immediately derails the conversation as I attempt to dig into the inner workings of national intelligence, but don't worry, we quickly pivot to a massive and insightful conversation on:

⚙️ The Threat Hunting Process and Methodology you should deploy to implement successful hunts.

🚚 How to actually deliver value to stakeholders, even if your hunts turn up dry.

🦸 Strategies for effectively leading Threat Hunting teams and the qualities of a super star threat hunter.

Thanks again to Shahar Vaknin for being a guest on the Podcast. It's been a blast getting to talk to smart folks.

I hope you find value in the episode. Please consider subscribing to support the show; or leave a podcast review on your favorite listening platform!

It was super fun to interview @jerry for this week's episode of the Infosec Sidekick Podcast!

I had wanted to do this a while back; when the heat of the twitter migration was taking place, but I almost feel like now was a better time.

With the dust somewhat settled, @jerry and I talk about Information Sharing, Community Building, and how Mastodon plays a role in that.

I genuinely appreciate this conversation and hope it can provide you some value and entertainment throughout your week.

You will be sure to find gems in this episode, such as the unlikely comparison to twitter vs Mastodon as Monsters Inc. Power Generation (don't ask, just listen lol)

I learned a new word today!

"Injection Strobing"

In Proofpoint's blog post "Part 1: SocGholish, a very real threat from a very fake update" and SCMedia's post "SocGholish finds success through novel email techniques". The two describe a likely tried and true method of detection evasion, but gave it a name that I feel is very suiting!
