Nerdcore? You like MC Chris and Dualcore?

@HedgeMage @sten0_SE DualCore is the shit! I am not even a rap guy, but that is killer.

@TheGibson @HedgeMage Hell yeah! Just saw him live for the first time at Bloomsburg University for DFIR conference I gave a talk at!

Cool guy too - came out for beers after and legit tech skills to boot.

@HedgeMage @sten0_SE I have an education conference to present at in June... no Dual Core... :)

@TheGibson @HedgeMage lol I was surprised he came, very small-town type of vibe at con.

What's the talk on? Being recorded so I can check it out?:thumbsup:

@HedgeMage @sten0_SE maybe... it is actually a conference for K-12 teachers... I am speaking on the role of preparing their students for their digital citizenship, and why they(the teachers) shouldn't open every email.

Client/user opsec basically. I find this crowd very fulfilling to educate... they are natural learners, have a potentially huge impact on the future, and a wide margin to gain in.

@TheGibson @HedgeMage TBH that's the kind of "dirty work" that needs done in #infosec

Basics go a long way.

Working up a blog post on "trust but verify: life lessons learned from infosec" as it applies to general trust, contract law etc. The kind of stuff school never seems to prepare you for.

The longer my interest in #infosec has gone on the more I find myself agreeing w/ parts of this.

@HedgeMage @sten0_SE wow, well put... I do segment accordingly, and sell some expensive equipment and services to make sure it stays that way... I see things as a holistic approach... you have to cover education AND harden the resources...

in some ways they are the same thing.

@TheGibson @HedgeMage

Absolutely - one of my main focuses is #socialengineering and people are often the weakest links in security.

Nothing changes user behavior quite like big, red flashing boxes saying "all your accounts were just hacked" and relating the problems.

Sure, you might not care about passwords until you realize it could affect your life, job/company, child, financial future etc etc.

@HedgeMage @sten0_SE I agree... the human link is the one that needs to be hardened... the others we have concrete tools for.

I like to give them concrete examples they can relate to... scenarios...

@HedgeMage @sten0_SE I also visit elementary schools regularly to give the Cyber equivalent of "Just Say No" a few times a year... been hacking cloudpets this year to get their attention...

They get all wide eyed when they realize you really can do stuff they've only seen on TV.
