Last morning in Miami Beach after #S4x26. Good time as always - learned a few things, enjoyed the sunshine, reminded once again that I am almost always the dumbest person in the room (that's a good thing that means smart people are working on these issues)

Monitoring a SONET class, I leaned a lot of this stuff like 30 years ago when SONET released but man I have forgotten a lot. DS1s and DS3s have too much math and make my head hurt

This now worries me as you are among the most normal of the infosec people I follow. Does that mean everyone in infosec needs a whack in the skull?

Normally I am ok being a nobody but sometimes you really need an email answered and even with an important flag you just just don’t rate and that sucks. #minionlife #nobodycares πŸ˜’πŸ˜€

i'm not doing Defcon 34 (I know that breaks everyone's heart) so I am looking for something else in that general time frame considering @SummerC0n , @BlueTeamCon or @CybrSecCon depending on where i can meet up with friends. other recommendations?

i couldn't find specifics but according to chatgpt this is what they usually bring to shows/cons - Omada gateways (e.g., ER605 or ER7206) paired with a small JetStream/Omada PoE switch (e.g., TL-SG2008P/TL-SG2210P) and Omada EAP Wi-Fi 6 APsβ€”but to be clear, that’s an inference, not confirmed.

They had some sort of bug bounty going at ICS Village maybe you could find those models and start there.

So we finished our first official transport networking class today. 8 people for 32 hours as we tried to teach an entirely new technology stack. The class went ok but we barely scratched the surface.

So this morning I woke up to a tweet notification from someone I follow that started "feel free to mute me" and I am like, WTF stupid thing did I say now", turns out nothing this time. They were just trolling generally.

I had to go to the Dr. on Friday and while I was there I had some labs drawn. My lipids profile came back completely within the normal range. 1st time in years. A1C was 5.2 well within normal also.
