Session
How does one face the world with so many vulnerabilities out there? Another day, another 0-day, but yet we must overcome. We are the front line; we are the last line. WE ARE INFOSEC. We are the chosen people to protect the flock. We must find the inspiration to harness the energy of the Multicolored Hat. Whether you worship the red or the blue, we must join together as a nation, as a people, as a subculture.
Wait… Do I spot a sinner? Do you tell your neighbor, “Don’t reuse thine password”, yet do so yourself? Are you guilty of committing your keys to GitHub? Do you covet thy neighbor’s bandwidth? Come to the sermon of the Holy Multicolored Hat to securely erase those sins. Let your conscious be free of guilt so that you can carry the good word to the world. Be cool.
