Really handy
Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.
So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.
Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

I made a similar post on my Mastodon, but as a heads up I'm still looking for work. I've got a nearly 15yr background in #infosec with a focus on IR and Infra. Most recently was the security manager for #vrchat.
Looking for infosec positions that are fully remote in the US, or any in #Ireland.
