As it pertains to #threads users dipping their toes into the #fediverse…. [To the tune of “Bootylicious" by Destiny’s Child] 🎶 I don't think they ready for this Fedi 🎶

#followfriday is here once more. As usual, I have some great #infosec / #cybersecurity accounts I've followed recently to recommend!

I've stood up a personal / "single-user” instance and am experimenting with it to see if it would be suitable to host my *main* Fediverse account. If it turns out to be decently performant, I may migrate this account over there in the future. If you would like to follow me over there in the meantime, feel free to follow @shellsharks. Thanks 🧡!

If you are in #infosec / #cybersecurity and looking for an easier way to follow interesting infosec accounts that are relatively high signal-to-noise without having to scour the Fediverse, consider checking out the #mammoth Mastodon client and subscribing to the new #indiesec Smart List! Smart Lists are a unique feature pioneered by Mammoth which offers curated lists of accounts in a number of different subject areas.

To start, the IndieSec Smart List (curated by yours truly) features 50 independent security researchers /professionals across many infosec sub-disciplines. I will continue to maintain this list and add new accounts in the coming weeks (I have a whole backlog of accounts I'd like to see added). Over time, this list will seek to feature many accounts that are lower-volume, but high-quality in terms of content. Surfacing harder-to-find accounts (by doing hours of scrolling and curation) is one more way we as a community are improving #discoverability across the network.

Thanks to the @mammoth team and @bart for working with me on this new list. If you have any questions about the list feel free to drop me a message!

Edit: I should add - you can see everyone who is featured on this list here https://github.com/shellsharks/assorted/blob/master/resources/mammoth-indiesec.csv. When new accounts are added, they too will be represented there.

I don’t have Twitter/X on my phone and have not used the service since I came over to infosec.exchange in late 2022. But! I have seen some great posts from accounts who seem to still primarily exist over there in my timeline via bird.makeup. So my question is, are there any twitter accounts for #infosec / #cybersecurity people that you think are really good / worth following / high value enough that I should add to my follows here (again, via bird.makeup)? It's not ideal I admit, but given Mastodon + my curated RSS feed is my primary source(s) of infosec news/research/etc... i'm not opposed to going the bridge route. Thanks!

OK, so #AskFediSec seemed to win that particular round but many people offered up the suggestion #AskInfosec which I also really like, so here's a run-off. For the folks that liked the idea of having a *dedicated* hashtag for this kinda thing, what is your preference below?

I'll also note that some variations of #AskInfoSex were also floated and tbh could be quite popular 😉🤣.

I moved account, so a new #introduction is appropriate! I'm Phil, he/him, a German guy in his 30s but I'll handle this account in English (mostly, at least).
I'm a passionate consultant for SIEM and Log Management and I've been getting into Google's #Chronicle as well as open-source Wazuh most recently.
I think I'm better with people than I am with computers, although I'm definitely an introvert person.
In my free time, I'm an avid #TTRPG player and DM, mostly D&D so far, now also getting into #Starfinder.
So, hello again! It's wonderful to be here.

Oh so I’m supposed to write an #introduction toot. Okay.

My name is Jack and I’m into #cybersecurity #infosec and whatever #hacking is involved to. I prefer making tools and using Linux. I feel like my personality is wrapped around those topics but I’m also a sensible person and very insecure. I like meeting new people but I also like to spend time by myself.

I like taking pictures and keeping a journal (physical one) where I write special moments during my days suck as anxiety attacks, cool events, things out of my routine… and I also glue pictures and other stuff in it! My journal is super cool. Anyways, hope to catch your toots (I guess?)

Another round of great #infosec / #cybersecurity accounts for #followfriday!
