I am urgently looking for work. My unemployment ends soon and my family is approaching eviction. With Christmas near and kids in the house, the pressure has become extremely difficult. I’ve been interviewing since September and reached multiple final rounds, but have not secured a role yet.

I have over 15 years of experience in Cyber Threat Intelligence, OSINT, Social Engineering, Security Engineering, Vulnerability Management, and detection rule development. I’ve built CTI programs, developed Python automation, improved workflows, supported investigations, and authored Practical Social Engineering. I hold a US patent for a cybersecurity reconnaissance system.

I can support Sales and Sales Engineering teams as a subject matter expert when needed, adding technical depth and threat context to customer conversations. I also write white papers, blogs, and podcast material and speak regularly on security topics. Locally, I am a USCCA certified firearms instructor.

I am open to full time roles or contract work. Referrals and introductions are deeply appreciated as Christmas approaches.

🔐 Let's Encrypt to Cut Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days by 2028 // Linuxiac

｢ Shorter certificate lifetimes are intended to limit the impact of compromised keys and improve the effectiveness of revocation mechanisms. Alongside this shift, the authorization reuse period, the window during which previously validated domain control can be reused, will decrease from 30 days to just 7 hours ｣

Ohh I like this... Aikdo has presented a more detailed analysis of the early steps for the Shai Hulud 2.0 worm.

Attempting to map what steps the original threat actor took to gain a foothold. Useful stuff IMHO

🆕 blog! “Responsible Disclosure: Joiners, Movers, and Leavers in NHS BSA”

Many many years ago, I did some work for the NHS. As part of that, I was given access to certain GitHub organisations so that I could contribute to various projects. Once I left that job my access was revoked.
