1 year anniversary at SpecterOps, so many personal and professional achievements in a short space of time. My advice for anyone getting into this field, try and make sure that you work companies and colleagues that push you beyond your comfort level. \o/

Reviewing the Microsoft AI Critical Thinking paper to see how different industries are using genAI for its strengths, and the foreshadowing of how jobs are likely to change in the short-term. Very small sample set, but at least it gives me data outside of speaking to other basement dwellers 😉

A fresh macOS install is a good time to play around with the stock nvim dashboard 😍 Thanks to buff.ly/4gMlBGH for the artwork 🎨

Interesting to see just how far ahead OpenAI is in popularity from The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking paper. 96% vs 21% on Gemini. There is an age-skew, but this paper is very good at reviewing peoples usage of GenAI outside of our bubble.

Todays #AdventofCode was fun... Also, who says that printf() (or in this case, println!()) debugging is wrong 😆

Solving #AdventofCode Day 5 (part 2) thinking I was smart... only to find out that I accidentally cheesed the answer by swapping bits and there was some apparently some complex theory behind the ruleset :P

This hack is brilliant, APT28 hopping into a target environment over wifi by compromising neighbouring companies and finding a dual-homed host within range. volexity.com/blog/2024/11... And yet... they got caught doing this!
