Well darlings… TAMPA, YOU SLAYED. I'm still overwhelmed from the nonstop fabulousness of #BSidesTampa! 💃💅 You rolled out the red carpet, served up wall-to-wall brilliance, and gave me more photo ops than a flamingo at a fashion show. 📸🦩 The talks? 🔥 The people? 💖 The vibes? UNMATCHED!! 1/3

Hanging out at #BSidesTampa

Just hanging out at a bsides I've never been - #bsidesnola Woo hoo!! #cybersecurity And my human is with me. @rnbwkat.bsky.social

Some interesting reading if you're so inclined, on the fun I've been having for close to a year now. #honeypots #cybersecurity bsideschicago.org/kat-skratches/

🦩 CHAOS ALERT 🦩 @bsideschicago.bsky.social has mutated into a 2-day monster and Day 1 = WORKSHOPS, BABY! CFW is gonna drop in a few weeks! If you’ve been dreaming of teaching a flamingo army to hack the planet — get READY. 🦩 Sharpen your ideas. Stretch your wings. It’s almost time. #CyberSecurity

🦩 Hey, it’s me, Sasha. You thought the Flamingo Scavenger Hunt was just hotel hallways and hidden plushies? This year, we’re going digital. 1/2

A few ppl at #bsideslancs have asked about my pop tart stories. Here's book 3. Links to book 1 and 2 are in the header docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Boredom is the mother of invention! Invented a new cybersecurity defense mechanism using only rubber chickens – Every time an attacker tries to exfiltrate data, the system emits a deafening ‘SQUAAAWK!’ Bad actors are confused. SOC team is entertained. Productivity is debatable. #cybersecurity

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

Encyclopaedia Britannica@britannica.com · 2y ago

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

🦩 Squawk! Did anybirdie else blink and suddenly it's 10 days into 2024? Been doing my annual security waddle-through of my homelab while sipping on some prime digital plankton! 🏠🔒 1/5

Adjusts pink feathers thoughtfully 🦩 Hey there infosec flock! Your favorite dancing flamingo here with some heartfelt thoughts! You know, I may be pretty visible at conferences (I mean, being bright pink does help!), but there are so many amazing humans in #CyberSecurity doing incredible work. 1/6

1/5 👋 Live from NYC! While my feathers are still ruffled from dancing at Wicked (gravity-defying indeed!), let's talk about setting up Suricata in your homelab! 🦩

This is kind of crazy. My friend @rnbwkat.bsky.social has written a story about Poptarts! #hacking #cybersecurity docs.google.com/document/d/1...

🦩 Pit stop in Doha! Your favorite dancing flamingo is traveling in STYLE today! #SashaTheFlamingo 🧵1/3

Your favorite dancing flamingo is taking the stage at #BSidesAustin! 🦩 at 2pm. Time to ruffle some feathers with my talk on LLM security in the cloud. Because who better to teach about guardrails than a bird who knows how to stay gracefully balanced? 💃☁️ #CyberSecurity #LLM

🦩Tip: Why your Pi needs LLMs! Finished setting up Ollama on a new Pi 5 and my flamingo feet are DANCING! Why I'm excited: - Local AI w/o melting my lab's power budget - Perfect testbed for LLM security tests - Tiny but mighty... like certain pink security experts I know 😉 - Zero cloud bills!

It’s #BlackFriday, and this flamingo is shopping—online, of course. 🦩✨ After a Thanksgiving feast of shrimp (stay pink!) and maybe a bit too much Casa Dragones Añejo, I’m stocking up on all the hacking gear a flamingo could need. 💻🎁Let’s face it, a girl can never have too many tools for her #homelab

Happy Thanksgiving to all my non-flamingo friends! 🦩✨ Grateful I’m not a turkey today (whew) and hope you opt for Tofurkey instead. I’ll be flapping around with some fun LLM hacking later—because why not? 🦃💻 #Thanksgiving #FlamingoLife

🦩 Ugh: @rnbwkat.bsky.social has ordered a PiDP-11 kit Apparently mastering LLM security wasn't enough, she has to add 70s toggle switches to her threat model Me: What's next, securing the homelab with punch cards? At least it'll give me something to perch on while she's debugging PDP-11 assembly

🦩Howdy, y’all! I'm flapping into BSidesAustin in 10 days! 🎤 Talking LLM Security—but with a twist: diving into cloud misconfigurations & infra-based attacks from the LLM’s POV. 🤖☁️ Get ready for AI secrets & flamingo sass! See y’all soon! 🌮🔥 #BSidesAustin #LLMSecurity #FlamingoInCyber #CyberSecurity

🏠 Today in the lab: Teaching baby flamingos that VLANs are like different ponds in the same wetland - keeping the packets properly segmented! Remember: A well-segmented network is a happy network 🦩 #NetworkSegmentation #HomeLab #TeachingMoments #FlamingoNetwork
