So here we are, the end of 2019. I know I have been lax on blogging this year, but I also have been a bit busier, both professionally and personally. I am planning on doing more posts in 2020 so stay tuned.
As I look back, it has been a good year professionally. I have started writing Python scripts and modifying those I find that do not quite do what I want to do what I want. Not great at it, but getting better. I have been learning KQL for Microsoft Defender ATP and wrote alerts that helped for the yearly penetration test at the office. I gave a talk at Circle City Con that was well received. I made it to my first GrrCon. I got to spend time with people I do not see in person very often, and make new acquaintances that could turn into friendships. For all of that I thank you.
2020 is shaping up to be a cool year. I can’t go into too much right now, since I do not want to jinx some things, but here are the cons I am planning or will be at:
- Cyphercon (Definite)
- Thotcon (Definite)
- Circle City Con (Probable)
- Blue Team Con (Definite)
- GrrCon (Probable)
There might be more but nothing exact at this point.
As far as predictions go for this upcoming year, mostly it is going to be a lot of the same. There will be some sort of major items that comes up, be it a breach or vulnerability (probably both). We will still be trying to get better intelligence and stay in front of things. The community at large will have more drama, and that will cause tighter cliques to form, which is unfortunate.
I hope everyone has a great Holiday Season. May the New Year be good to all of you! Peace!
