We all love it…
But can we ever really reach the holy grail….
Can we get dressed up for all 5 mythical 9’s?
Let’s look at exactly what we are shooting for.

The world moves in crazy ways…
I’ve been a busy boy and not posting here near as much as I would like… but I think I have caught up. I was to ambitious earlier with my once a day post idea… so my new goal is to write one quality article a week. Hopefully this can work towards my goal of teaching. Maybe do videos like Irongeek (LINK) or some cheat sheets like Packetlife. (LINK) I would also like to either start, or participate in a regular podcast. Maybe related to the weekly article, So many Ideas… so little time…

I’m sorry this is such a stream of consciousness.

I welcome your comments, your ideas, please let me know what you think in the comments below.

Well its official…

I am a Security consultant. In the last two weeks I conducted my first official incident response and policy gap analysis. It wasn’t a glamourous pen testing gig, nor was it something worthy of bragging about, but it was a most excellent opportunity. During the time I was conducting these contracts I was offered a pretty decent desk job. The job presented its own opportunities, but I just couldn’t bring myself to accept it. It wasn’t what I truly wanted. I am still finding my niche in the security field, but I know Im not built to do the same job day in and out.

I look forward to future contracts, and the challenges that will come my way. A short post, but maybe someday my Path will inspire someone else.

I have been reading a support article by Apple about the SD slot on the new MacBook Pro’s (LINK), and I think I have come up with an excellent way to use it.

Most netbooks feature a SD card slot that can be booted from… why not load an OS onto the SD card that is tweaked for both the boot camp/fusion/parallels environment and the native netbook. Then you can take the netbook for IR and such… collect your data… and then easily come back to a more powerful rig for analysis.

Also with the ease of swapping SD cards you can keep different responses separate and cataloged for future review…

Its all just floating in my head… but more will come of this…
