I spent the weekend teaching the new Cybersecurity merit badge to 30 eager scouts. My thoughts:
- Good overview of the technology without going too deep
- Kids already understand some of this a basic level thanks to living the technology
- Always a couple of advanced students!
Context Is Expensive
When it comes to learning and understanding, facts are easy. If I ask you how many bits are in an IPv4 address it's a single answer. People memorize facts and figures like this all the time. It's easy to recall them for tests and to prove you understand the material. Where…

Thank you @khill.bsky.social for making a video that I’ve been talking about on the @techfieldday.com Rundown for weeks. Space data centers are dumb because space isn’t cold. Among other reasons. youtu.be/-w6G7VEwNq0

Thanks to David Spark and @cisoseries.bsky.social for the awesome fleece! Make sure you tune in to Super Cyber Friday and you might win one too.
I didn't want to have to do it, but I see no other choice.
IPv6 is the "AI IP Address". If you aren't using IPv6 you're already behind in the AI race.

Sam Altman at the Cisco AI Summit:
"I would like for AI to listen in on things and provide value."
What value? How? That's the thing no one is answering. What value is being provided?
Watching the Cisco AI Summit and Jeetu Patel says (paraphrased): "We are running out of human data, synthetic and machine generated data are continuing to train models"
Am I the only one that sees issues with training models on made up data and hoping they don't hallucinate?
Yeah, it has been. People take the first bin they find, especially the old C group. Now that they charge to check a bag it's just going to get worse.

Excited for my RSAC talk with Helen Patton, on all the ways the zero trust buzzword has failed us, and all the ways to make the most out of buzz.

Wi-Fi 8 Already?
Wi-Fi 8 already? I'm still writing Wi-Fi 7 on all my checks.
Sounds like the level one artifacer has leveled up quite a bit to me!
