This year, we're making online tickets affordable no matter what your geography, economy, or work situation with pay-what-you-can pricing. We want everyone to have access to great workshops and hands-on threat hunting training!

We are excited to announce another great workshop accepted from @hashfastr for #DEATHCon2025 -- we'll get hands-on to learn about his new open source language to query logs, Hash query language (Hql). What makes this intriguing is that it is based on one of the best and most expressive languages: Kusto (KQL)! We love KQL and wish it was available everywhere outside the Microsoft ecosystem. This just might be the way to get there.

Check out this and 20 other awesome workshops on Detection Engineering and Threat Hunting at https://deathcon.io/workshops.html

Tickets go on sale July 7. Keep an eye out if you want to go, because last year the online tickets sold out in under 24 hours.

Please raise your hand if you've disabled PowerShell 2.0 on your Windows systems. What? Didn't know that was a thing you should do? PowerShell 2.0 does not have any of the modern logging and security features that newer versions like v5.1 or 7.x have. But if you don't remove or disable the old 2.0 version, it can be used and abused by malware, info stealers, ransomware operators, etc. Here's an article that provides you with several ways to remove it from you systems (while keeping the newer version in place) #cybersecurity

Something to chew on, this Pride month:

As a cis and/or hetero person, you don't have to understand how it feels to be gay, pan, or ace, to be trans, enby, genderfluid or any other identity or orientation. You don't need to intellectually "get" it. It doesn't have to make sense to you.

There's nothing more to it than taking people's word for how they feel, and standing alongside them, as they simply live their lives as themselves.

Much love
