Thanks to a posting I read this morning on David Litchfield’s as well as Portswigger’s blogs it turns out that we are in for a treat.
This past summer I was fortunate to have a pint (OK, several) at the OWASP party at Black Hat in Las Vegas. It was nice to meet so many folks that I had only ever known in a virtual sense. There I was introduced to a guy who I will label as being smarter than most, by the name of John Heasman. A laid back, cordial fellow that PortSwigger mentioned was giving a talk the next day. I asked John what he would be presenting and I instantly realized my error. He launched into a synopsis of his talk and I became intimately aware that I was in way over my head. John knows his sh*t cold. A great guy to talk to but, after a couple pints my propensity for information absorption was greatly diminished.
Now the treat that I mentioned is that John now has a blog. Entitled, “aut disce, aut discede” (“either learn or leave”) it will bring his perspectives on security. Can’t help but chuckle at the title. His inaugural posting tackles bug hunting in software prior to installation. I was pleased to see this passage,
(Note: I have a back log of posts so I’ll be posting a fair amount over the next month)
Good news. Be sure to subscribe to his blog. I have.
