👀 Think security pros are just out here hacking your WhatsApp or Insta?

Think again.

✅ Offensive Security
✅ Security Engineering
✅ Cloud Security
✅ Governance, Risk & Compliance
✅ ...and working with tons of data every single day.

Security is way more than Hollywood stereotypes.
It’s architecture, engineering, and building safer systems — not (only) breaking into TikTok accounts.

✨

I'm working on a new presentation titled "A Day in the Life of a Security Engineer" for an upcoming talk I'm giving to college students and I’m having way too much fun with the memes 😄

I haven't done a #FollowFriday list in a while. Here are some of my favorite #HumanRights accounts (in alphabetical order):

Your eyes are not deceiving you... I got an Apple TV 1st Gen, the only x86 based model (it uses a Pentium M as its CPU) booting Windows XP Service Pack 3! For reals!

This was possible through a small security flaw in the Apple TV's firmware and boot process... while the Apple TV looks for a boot.efi file on its boot partition and has it load a Mach-O binary to be able to boot, it doesn't actually care about the actual contents of the file! So by that note, you can wrap a kernel or bootloader from another OS into a Mach-O file and name it mach_kernel, and the Apple TV won't care and will happily boot it! So after this little escapade of cursed computing, you know Linux is next! 😁

Happy Cyberpunk Day to all who celebrate! On this date in 1990, the US Secret Service raided Steven Jackson Games seizing 300 floppy disks including the GURPS Cyberpunk TTRPG in connection to a Bell South memo describing how their 911 service was implemented. The USSS was sued and ordered to pay $300k in damages and court fees for the illegal raid. #hackThePlanet
