You can breathe, you can blink, you can cry... Hell, we're all going to be doing that... But you can't bring back #DerbyCon 😢

Oh #derbycon 😞​

Just found this while cleaning.

I miss #DerbyCon. ♥️

I've been silently following & observing for a couple weeks, so it appears I'm overdue for an #introduction post.

Professionally, I've been #BlueTeam #infosec for about 16 years. I've evolved into more of a policy & guidance roll over the years, but I'm also still the #incidentresponse lead. I'll try to share what I can when I can.

The first #Derbycon was my first infosec conference I attended. The second through final, I was a volunteer. I've also volunteered for #CircleCityCon every year except their 2nd.

I'm a #USNavy #veteran, 4x college #dropout who had no career direction and eventually got an AAS degree in network administration in my 30s. I was working for an employer who had no IT security at the time, so I raised my hand and started my infosec career. I collect IT certs like kids collect pokemon but never submit CPEs - I just move on to another cert. I've had 7 #GIAC certs at this point (8th pending), but only 2 are currently active. Also have expired #PMP, #CISSP, and... lots of lesser stuff.

Apparently, I make a pretty damn good #cheesecake. Also a serviceable #mixology home bartender.

I've completed 7-ish(?) #marathon and a handful of half...but weight gain and age have kept me from adding any in the last 4 years. Also have a decent bike that I ride on a stand more than I do outdoors.

Most Wednesday evenings you can catch me at #Zanzabar for the Louisville #Cartoonist Society weekly "Drink and Draw." I don't draw, but I have a few friends who do and I enjoy practicing the drinking part.

Married, no kids. Both me and my pups (3 of them) are #snipped.

My politics trend very #liberal and I try to back that up with actions and financial support.

Really good #DerbyCon presentation slides about the [in]security of win32k.sys.

tl;dr: securely providing compatibility layers is really hard.

This is why I would like to remove nearly all compat layers in #HardenedBSD, especially the #Linux compat layer and 32-bit compat for 64-bit systems.

I hadn’t heard of a “honey brush” before #derbycon where one of the sponsors gave them away. Now I know....

I’m sad that #Derbycon is over and I now have to fly back to NY for another 2 weeks. But it was great hanging out with my son and a lot of friends.

Know what happens when you don't go to #derbycon? You have a #ginfosec and #inforum podcast with @InfoSecSherpa!

Waiting for my flight to from LaGuardia to Louisville #Derbycon 🎉
