the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the “how was your week” thread isn’t a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples’ posts aren’t getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don’t gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this’ll be a good way of getting to know all the people you’re now on here with

    Hello fellow uhh… post-redditor? What parts of cyber security do you like? Funny how most people here are still programmers.

      I’ve always been most keen on understanding how offensive cyber is conducted in order to best defend against it. What programming I do is just to facilitate that.

      Are you also interested or involved in cyber security?

        I work in the industry but on the nation state side. There’s a split in thee industry between corporate and nation state cyber because attack vectors are quite different. Nation states can find a team of researchers to find a zero day in whoever is a target, corporate cyber is likely to phish for access in millions of targets until someone lets them in.
