Adrian is a Sr Sales Engineer with Splunk who focuses on security. He has worked for various security startups in the bay area for the past 15 years from vulnerability management, to endpoint investigation, to ML based threat hunting.
Notes:
• Had an interest in security early on, starting with opening binaries on Sierra's King's Quest games and looking for hints.
• Took any opportunity he got to get exposed to security
• His job as an instructor was very useful during support and later as a sales engineer
• Keeps a Trello board for his lab!!
• Adrian expenses (deducts) what he spends on his lab from his taxes. (Consult a tax attorney)
• He mentions an awesome hack for installing Kali on a chromebook (~22 mins)
Quotes:
• "I remember the first time I found Phrack, my mind exploded a little bit."
• "Experience is experience, everything that you use [skills] will get used later on."
• "...figure out what pieces their missing, so you can fill them in."
• "Go through the CIS top 20 critical controls"
• "Be less focused on the whizbang fun stuff, and more focused to get you the most return."
