The @ReconVillage talks are posted! 📕 Blog - brevityinmotion.com/automate… ⌨️ Code - github.com/brevityinmotion/b… ☁️ Video - youtu.be/DvZAkG8P8m0 Is anyone else using #AWS or #cloud for #bugbounty tooling? Or interest in learning? I may do a mini series of video tutorials and blogs.

💡This thread is loaded with valuable responses and is a list of commands that I’m certainly going to spend some time learning. Looking forward to the content that @NahamSec creates from this!
Besides curl and sed/awk/grep, what are some of your most frequently used linux commands that you think will help with hacking? (not including tools like nmap, metasploit, etc)

☁️ This has always been one of my favorite and most valuable security resources since the original release. The approach is relevant even if you do not use AWS. Great job on the updates and the entire document is worth the time to read and implement!

One unique thing about software as an engineering discipline is that it offers abstractions which allow ppl to start contributing in the field w/o having to understand the whole field. To be great, though, imo understanding what’s under the abstractions is really important: 1/

The prompt# zine is always so cool and well-done! Thank you @BHinfoSecurity for such a unique resource! My bear vs bear chase card went straight into the card saver. Now to determine where to send it to have it authenticated and graded🥇!

📚 To expand my technical knowledge, I have always asked myself, what tech question would I not want to be asked? Then I go learn it and repeat that question. I recommend this advice no matter where you are at in your career. This approach applies far beyond just tech.
Today I borrowed the hacking linux exposed and ruby programming books from the library. The librarian told me #linux is not worth my time.

🦸🏼‍♂️ Me explaining to my kids what I did at @defcon: 1. I played with legos. 2. I folded paper airplanes. 3. I made a tin foil hat. 4. I traded stickers. 5. I looked at cars.

Thrilled with how these stickers turned out! Looking forward to trading with other creators/builders/hackers that I have tons of respect for and have learned so much from! #DEFCON30

💻 I’ll have 200 of these holographic #stickers to hand out @defcon representing my blog and projects. I can’t wait to trade for the many cool ones I’ve seen!

☁️ For cloud learning, obviously both options would be best, do you prefer to follow a tutorial walking you through the console/GUI or walking you through the infrastructure as code? The context and why would be the same.
40%Walkthrough the console
40%Explain and run the code

Heading into a technical security review meeting? 💡Review the relevant @owasp cheat sheet (cheatsheetseries.owasp.org) for the topic prior to the meeting. 🧠 Look like a genius. ⚖️ Reduce risk. 🙏 This project has been one of the most valuable and helpful throughout my career.

🎨 Well… I no longer spend excessive time on social media because I’ve replaced it with laying in bed for hours every night sending #dalle prompts.
