Software developer for 15+ years interested in infosec.

When I'm not hanging out with the family or at my day job I enjoy writing and contributing code. I like to create and break software.

#Golang entertains me.
#C++/C feeds and shelters me and my family.
#Python is my ongoing one night stand apparently.

I used to break web base chat rooms in the mid 90's and keep that passion going keeping up with infosec type things and #CTF like activities.

I'm here to learn more and get more engaged with the #infosec community. I'm willing to entertain a career shift as well.

Instead of: no one wants to work anymore. Try: no one wants to be exploited anymore.

Just got this email from Google Fi of a breach, doesn't indicate which third party had the breach.

Indicates they have my sim card serial and activation dates, sound like a purchase order.. I think the important info is that my phone number may be included.

Given an attacker may have the sim serial and my number how exposed am I to them socially engineering an attack calling up the telecom with that info? Is this serious or a nothing burger?

Please boost if you know someone that may have a good answer. #GoogleFi #Security #Leak #3rdParty

When we arrived the hotel had a boiler fire earlier this week and canceled our reservations without contacting us. So parked now farther away and freezing our butts off while waiting for things to start.

My wife thinks I'm too anxious about planning and doing anything....but this is the kinda confirmation bias that convinces me to just stay at home and forego all the stress all over planning and traveling time and time again.

Trying to stay in a good mood for the rest of the family....

Remember when computers worked?

Nah, me neither.

#hashcat is now on my windows host. #noreason

Stay safe out there... Just got this in an email. The email is PayPal's and it almost looks legit. Scammers trying to get you to pay them now with a misleading PayPal payment request. #scam #psa

Anyone else gotten these lately?

Facebook has been receiving users’ financial info from tax preparers

The Markup found that tax preparation services including TaxAct, TaxSlayer, and H&R Block have sent users’ personal financial information to Facebook through the Meta Pixel.

Participated in @Digit4lOverdose 's #DOCTF #CTF over the weekend. It was a lot of fun! You can still try them out right now I think. https://digitaloverdose.ractf.cloud/

Many of the challenges were written by @AtomicMaya and they were fantastic, their's particularly were innovative, and not just finding a tool that exists, but writing your own.

I have to admit, I made it hard on myself and found at least two bugs in how the flags were constructed (one was giving me a dynamic answer!) I also broke one and found the flag with an unintended breakage of an API. I also broke a pwn challenge by rewriting a .htaccess file where the solution was uploading an HTML file with SSI instead; oops!

The #1 thing I learned though is that I need a couple of buddies to team up with on these. Especially if I want to be competitive. I'm pretty good, but I'm stubborn and waste a lot of time on things other people are better at where I should be tackling the challenges I'm best suited for.

I got all the PWN and Web challenges and most of the others, so if ya have any questions about how something was solved, just give me a ping!

You have 48 hrs ^^

Does anyone know of a good kiosk like implementation or tricks I can throw on a laptop? I need it to secure the laptop so it can only login and use a single website. I don't want it to follow links outside of the domain of the page but still allow embedded videos from other domains. If somehow it can be setup with multiple logins to the same site with different user states for the browser that would be ideal.

Even if it was just a desktop shell replacement for windows or Linux configured per system user that be good enough...I hope. Only need it for a 7 and 10 year old user.
