I'm having #OBTS FOMO, so I decided to go ahead and make my own Apple security starter pack! I'm definitely missing folks on here, so feel free to DM me about anyone else who should be added! 🍎

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

If you want to share tech ideas, please don't write them on medium. I get so sad every time I see folks linking there, and then I realise I have to pander to a paywall.

Undisputedly the best training on memory forensics. Highly technical, information-dense, and in depth. If you're a malware analyst, reverse engineer, DFIR professional, or just another sys internals nerd, I cannot recommend it enough.
Our highly popular and technical training, "Malware and Memory Forensics with Volatility", has been fully converted to @volatilityfoundation.org 3 and significantly updated, including many new sections and 8 new, in-depth labs. Available online & in VA in October
