Article: My thoughts and experiences at Infosec EU 2024 - published 6 months ago.
Content: Another year another Infosec EU. So, how did it go down?

Article: 200 Episodes of the Host Unknown Podcast - published 3 months ago.
Content: What started off as a vision I had many years ago has hit a significant milestone. The Host Unknown Podcast has somehow managed to stumble its way to 200 episodes. It’s a feat that probably a testament to the sheer stubbornness of my co-hosts Thom Langford and Andrew Agnês – and a bit of external motivation provided by Graham Cluley. For those of you ...

Article: When Less is More (And $ is Everything) - published 3 months ago.
Content: I was browsing the website formerly known as Twitter and saw this post by Trung Phan and it got me comparing it to cybersecurity.

Article: BH EU 2022 and BSides London - published almost 2 years ago.
Content: As I wandered through the psychedelic chaos of Black Hat Europe 2022, I couldn’t help but feel like I had stumbled into the belly of the beast. The vendor area was a tacky nightmare of flashing lights and buzzword-laden sales pitches, but I knew there was something deeper lurking beneath the surface. And then, like a shot of pure adrenaline to the heart,...

Article: $1200 for acceleration on a Merc - published almost 2 years ago.
Content: Mercedes is one of the latest car companies to think, “hey, what do we do in a global downturn when new sales are low… I know, let’s limit some features on our car, then when people buy them, charge them extra to unlock it via a subscription model. If it’s worked for SaaS, it can work for us!”   According to their site, a mere $1200 a year can give you a...

Article: Your polls are bad - published about 3 years ago.
Content: If you’ve been on LinkedIn recently, you’ve probably seen your feed littered with polling questions. It could be something simple as, “which of these items do you like for breakfast” or something more specific such as, “Zero Trust is good because…” Either way, I have a bit of an issue with how these are framed, run, and subsequently interpreted. I...

Article: The Impending Reality of Virtual Reality - published about 3 years ago.
Content: There’s a concept around finite and infinite games. A finite game is played to win whereas an infinite game is played for the purpose of continuing. I like to think of Monopoly as an infinite game. I’ve never been able to complete the game, and I’ve yet to meet anyone that can tell me any different. That is unlike a game like snakes and ladders, which e...

Article: Looking for security in the wrong places - published about 3 years ago.
Content: It’s an old economists’ joke. A person out walking at night comes across a man scrabbling on the floor under a lamppost. The man on the floor says he lost his keys. When asked when he dropped them he then replies, “Oh, I dropped them over there, but the light’s better here.” It’s an apt metaphor for how cyber security sometimes operates. It’s easier to d...

Article: The bad old days - published about 3 years ago.
Content: BSides London is taking place and due to the pandemic and things, I’m not going and it’s put me in a contemplative mood about the early days of my career. When I started there were no such things as conferences such as BSides. We only had Infosec Europe and the most we got out of there was some free USB sticks… If we were lucky they would be 500 megs. ...

Content: It’s really easy to become complacent in security when the bad guys aren’t focussing you. But when the evil eye of Cyber Sauron casts its gaze your way, you soon realise your silver bullets were only silver-plated. As lockdowns around the world ease to a degree and many organisations are welcoming staff back into the office. However, it’s not a complete...

Article: Ransomware gangs aren’t very bad - published about 3 years ago.
Content: Ransomware is the big threat to all organisations. It’s the worst thing to ever happen on the internet. All ransomware gangs need to be hunted down and shut down wherever they may be. No ISP should be left unturned, no router left unexamined. They all need to be burnt to the ground! But is that really the case? If you think of the story of Goldilocks...

Article: All security products are good - published about 3 years ago.
Content: I tried to be a bit click-baity with my headline by saying all security products are good. But I think I failed in making it very enticing. That’s typically a problem with click bait, if you don’t go big, you don’t really generate a ton of interest. And if you go too big, then you end up looking crazier than the naruto runner outside Area 51. I was read...

I was the at that stage of life where I had the perfect balance of youthful arrogance, a disdain of authority, and just enough knowledge to give me illusions that I could do my boss, and his boss, and his bosses job better than they could combined. So, I did what anyone would do – updated my CV an...
