I am too old for this shit.
@NuclearAnthro It’s only 0030 here in the People’s Democratic Republic of California, but yeah.
Yeah whatever I have to be at some terrorism thing at 0800 so yeah I’m gone but odds on it’s rubbish. They all are, right?
Christ it’s after midnight.
@BundyB @iain_chalmers My fuckin’ life is photoshopped.
@erikstripparo I did not know this, but if they’re that desperate for content then go for it, I say.
Yeah whatever. twitter.com/iain_chalmers/…
@NuclearAnthro @Bugcrowd @caseyjohnellis No it was fuckin’ excellent.
I’d like to congratulate @Bugcrowd on putting on a party halfway between a late-1980s rave and a fascist rally. Great work, @caseyjohnellis.
Also, sweating.
So who has two thumbs and just walked all the way up Mason Street like an animal.

I’ve managed to avoid most of the #RSAC drinking so far. I suspect tonight that shan’t be possible. Not in the leas..twitter.com/i/web/status/8…Xv
@Steve_Lockstep That and a big government stick.
snurb_dot_info Bit much to hang this whole story on a couple of tweets from an ex-NSA dude, but the sentiment feels about right… ow.ly/UejE30931vI
@DrRhysPockett ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
@DrRhysPockett It’s the flavour, right?
@bamchenry Agree re all of that. Most folks are trying as hard as they can now, but ISC/SCADA is so huge and so hard.
@bamchenry Sounds about right.
@RuthMCallaghan That’s why they serve alcohol. So much alcohol.
It’s 1630 PT. Next: A beer; 1800 @AustradeUSA Cyber Security Showcase #ozcyber; 2000 @Bugcrowd #MayhemRSA pages.bugcrowd.com/mayhem-at-the-…; death.

One final point. Set fire to everything and watch it burn to the ground. It’ll save time in the long run. 9/7
Oh, and Item G: You are all arsehats and you’re all pretty much the actual problem here. Sort yourselves out. 8/7
F. It’s a goddam wonder any of us are still alive. (Let’s put all the oxygen on the blockchain.) 7/7
E. Everything is the same as it’s always been. Same tools, same arsehat defender mistakes. Bad guys just get their shit together better. 6/
Item D. Everything will end up full of ransomware, because it’s easy and has a great ROI. And yet having tested backups fixes this. 5/
Twitter just started throwing internal server errors when I tried to thread these tweets, so I’ll continue shortly.
C. It’s all fucked, but nobody gives a fuck. Somehow, though, threat intelligence and machine learning will fix everything. 4/
B. Internet of Things (IoT) security isn’t just fucked, it’s REALLY fucked. It’ll get mush worse before it gets better. 3/
A. People are talking about cyberwar more seriously. Not hand-waving digital Pearl Harbor BS, but potentially-real scenarios. 2/
So, some quick observations from #RSAC so far, at least from my perspective… 1/
