Of the generation that grew up with ZDTV/TechTV "The Screen Savers" and "Call for Help." Expanding my social media presence and GitHub with projects.

I am a massive nerd trying find my true niche. I love to do reverse engineering, DFIR, malware analysis, and blue team opportunities. Learning #RustLang and loving it! Using it to write :rust:-based forensics tools.
I used to work in Law Enforcement as a Blue Team DFIR specialist. I try to be funny, so please assume my tone is one of jest!

:donor: Over 13 years in #InfoSec #ReverseEngineering #Mentor #CyberMentor (depending, it's a VAST field!) I've done it all! My posts are my own and neither represent nor speak for any other person or agency.

It's one thing I've noticed on some things I've worked on. I would have or be given a project, and I would have a really nice proof of concept. I would present it to the supervisor and they would take it as the main talking point to see for any interested parties, even though you know it's nothing notable or significant and very rough on design.

They give it the "look what this project can do!" speech to the higher ups, and when I caught on to that I always wonder when I'm at a conference if any of these selling points were just a quick proof they took and ran to drum up more money.

Hello, friends! I'm thrilled to announce that The Homelab Almanac, v3.0 has officially launched! There is a ton of new stuff in this version, including:

  • Proper DNS for the lab
  • Lab PKI
  • Automatic signed certificate retrieval
  • New secrets management
  • Proxmox clustering
  • Network storage
  • Cloud integration

And lots more. Now, with all this addition, plus the work to make it, I've had to increase the price to $29.99 USD. I know that's a lot. But for what THA is, I still think it's fair. But I'm also running a sale right now. Code OMGVERSIONTHREE gets you 50% off until the end of June.

And of course, if you've already purchased THA, you just got access to the new version. Thanks for being an early supporter!

I hope you love this new version of the book. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

And seriously: thank you to everyone who's supported @thetaggartinstitute over the years, and especially the folks who have purchased and enjoyed The Homelab Almanac. I had no idea what I was getting myself into writing this book, but it's been lovely to see folks build community around it.

Anyone with a senior position open for a digital forensics, reverse engineering, tool making, IT borne, programming (can do Rust, Python, C/C++, etc., I've used a lot over the years) person? Very broad set of skills gained up to this point, and in general.

Fully remote preferred, as I'm in the Southern US and I know there's not much here. No issues traveling. Resume available after checking out what may be available to see if I qualify. Preferably looking for something small to medium. I have a great sense of humor, rather chill, and I get along well with practically everyone. I'm also really great at trivia nights!

Thank you.

Hello! Let's get my #introduction going here.

Professionally right now I work as an SME in a #PenTesting group for a regulatory company, but it's really not my bag of tea in the long run. That I can feel. I much prefer to be in an investigatory and tool-making field for something related to #DFIR . I was especially happy doing #ReverseEngineering of #malware .

I'm into reverse engineering, assembly languages like #IA32 and recently #ARM / #ARM64, programming (old classics like C/C++ / #Python but learning the newer stuff like #RustLang ), big into #forensics, #RasPi and #Arduino projects and such.

Still trying to figure out what I am career wise, though, like job title and such! It's all great fun to me, just haven't found the direct niche to sink into.

Hobby wise, I'm also really into #GuildWars2! Long time gamer at heart.
