Hey all. I’ve been in the security industry for a few years, application security and a bit of reverse engineering and malware analysis.
I joined to learn more about threat intelligence and research, and it seemed like a nice place from @da_667’s post on Mastodon. I hope I can share some of my own knowledge too.
Looking forward to learning/sharing new stuff and meeting new people.
Though I’m not staff, I’m opinionated and feel that if we approach things in earnest, people will reciprocate kindly. That being said:
This seems to be a place of learning, community, and collective growth. We have people like @da_667 who are public and mentor-like. But there are also people like me. I’m real, in that I am a person, but you’ve never seen me on the news. I’ve been a lot of things in my career. Some of them have involved making software do things it wasn’t supposed to do.
I wouldn’t worry to much about being “good enough” or “qualified” to join a forum. At least in my mind you are more than welcome here and we are stronger for having you. So thank you for joining.
Welcome! You’re in the right place. Our mission is to help folks build the means to collect, analyze, and share intelligence for themselves, and construct a network of sharers that doesn’t rely on central power bases. You can start from anywhere. If you care about that work, we’re glad you’re here.
Hey there, welcome to the community. I just wanna re-iterate what @J4ck said. You’re absolutely welcome here. If nothing more than to hang out and see what we dig up, that’s fine too. If you have questions about stuff, don’t be afraid to ask, or if you don’t want it posted here, drop me a line on Mastodon. I’m happy to share my knowledge (and opinions) on a subject, or if I don’t know enough, try to point you to someone who does.
