For me, the one that really made me pause was: “Tell me about the worst incident you handled. Walk me through what you did from the moment it started until it was resolved.” It wasn’t about theory. They wanted to see how I actually think when things get messy, how I break down an investigation, and where my real hands on experience shows up. Now I’m curious! - What question caught you off guard or made you stop and think? Drop yours below.

Alright, let’s see how everyone thinks. You only get one choice: - A: Drag yourself out of bed at 3AM to deal with a live breach. - B: Spend the whole week chasing a super quiet APT that barely leaves anything to follow. Which one are you picking, and why? No formal answers. Just be honest about what kind of chaos you’d rather deal with. Drop your pick below.

I’m curious how everyone here puts their labs together. Some people keep it simple, others go all-in with a full mini-SOC at home. If you’ve built a SOC lab before, what did you use? - What SIEM did you go with? - Any EDR tools you liked? - Local VMs or cloud? - Any open-source tools you swear by? - Screenshots or setups you want to show off? Share whatever you’ve got. It helps the whole group see different approaches and maybe pick up a few new ideas.

Attackers are not using the same obvious scams anymore. They are getting cleverer. Their tactics are more personalized and more convincing. Some of the new attempts look nearly identical to real vendor emails, MFA prompts, or internal notifications. I want to know what you are observing. Share the strange ones, the convincing ones, and the scams that nearly caught you or your team. Just remember to remove any sensitive information before posting. - Fake MFA push floods - AI-generated emails that sound very real - Spoofed HR or payroll updates - Fake password-reset notifications - QR code phishing - Deepfake voice or video attempts - Any new method attackers are using The goal is to help everyone stay informed about what is really happening. If you’ve noticed something new or surprising, please share it below. Quiz for today? - I posted two email screenshots. One is real. One is a phishing attempt. - Your job is simple. Tell me which one is legitimate and which one is fake, and explain why you think so. Drop your answer below. Let’s see who can spot the red flags fastest.
