(higher threats) where doo you get your advice from

curious

alot of advice is for lower threats like “dont send face use vpn” but where do u get ur advice for more crazy stuff like boggymen are gonna slime u out if u connect anything to wifi

is it just natural selection :exclamation_question_mark::wilted_flower:

  • News
  • Stuff like the Snowden documents
  • Research papers
  • Security conference talks (CCC, DEFCON, BlackHat)
  • Books on hardening, cryptography, threat modeling, privacy, surveillance (capitalism)
  • Reading other people’s code
  • Writing secure software and trying to think adversarially
  • CVE reports
  • Twitter Infosec Exchange
  • University groups and networks

In no particular order

thx
