I see people saying “why should we give free lunches to schoolchildren?” and I think some folks truly have no idea what it’s like to grow up in poverty, never knowing where your next meal is coming from, forever being one paycheck away from eviction.
Let me explain some things.

12 year anniversary of the murder of Jill Meagher's in Brunswick today 💔
I lived in Brunswick at the time, this case changed me & it left a permanent scar on our city.
And we have lost so many women at the hands of men's violence since.
RIP angel x

The most basic SQL injection ever in the Known Crewmember (KCM) and Cockpit Access Security System (CASS) used by airlines and TSA.

One of the reviews for our Web Security Code Review Training:
"Louis from PentesterLab is running an outstanding code review training program that you won’t find anywhere else. It’s a brilliant resource for newcomers, offering content that’s hard to come by online. The training is jam-packed with in-depth material, covering every aspect of code review, and it's presented in a clear, well-explained manner. Whether you’re in the appsec industry and want a refresher or need to level up your skills, or you're a newcomer wanting to break into appsec or expand your knowledge for other fields of cybersecurity, I highly recommend this training."

Breakdancers spin anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Raygun is at a MASSIVE disadvantage in Europe, exerting enormous resistance against the Coriolis force.
If you call this "unathletic" you're telling on yourself. Not my job to educate you about the Global South.

Today was not a security or cyber incident. Our customers remain fully protected.
We understand the gravity of the situation and are deeply sorry for the inconvenience and disruption. We are working with all impacted customers to ensure that systems are back up and they can deliver the services their customers are counting on.
As noted earlier, the issue has been identified and a fix has been deployed. There was an issue with a Falcon content update for Windows Hosts.
For the latest information that we will continuously update, please refer to the CrowdStrike website (crowdstrike.com/blog/stateme…), my posts on LinkedIn, and my posts on X. I will continue to provide updates to our community and the industry as they become available.

CISO: "Too many vendors/tools, can we please have consolidation!!"
Same CISO: "What is the complex, unusable platform that claims to do everything and fails to most tasks?!"
<goes and buys narrow focused tools>
Sorry, people, security consolidation is B.S. Not a thing.

Asymmetric workloads are the double edged ⚔️ of force multipliers
Security can add asymmetric costs on our orgs, just as our orgs can incur outsized costs on us
I talk about this problem, with examples and tips for mitigating, over with @clintgibler

Hello Software Folks! I am in San Francisco next week for BSides SFO and RSA, and I'd love to meet up, nerd out about all things #appsec, and drink coffee (or beverage of choice).
Who is around? Who should I be catching up with?
(If we haven't met before, don't be shy!)

I need a few Mediatek MT1335WE chips for an upcoming book. If you have a DVD-ROM drive in your junk drawer, you could you please check to see if it has this controller?
Other chips in the series will not work, but retweets are appreciated.
