🦩 Flamingo flaps and pirouettes into 2025

Hey infosec flock! Your favorite pink security bird here, ready to dance into the New Year! 🎉

While you're popping champagne, I'm popping shells (responsibly in my homelab, of course! 😉). Here's to:

- Fresh API keys 🔑
- Clean logs 📝
- Zero incidents 🛡️
- And plenty of uptime for all your cloud experiments! ⛅

Remember friends: Just like how I backup my precious conference badge collection, don't forget to start your year with fresh backups!

Pro-tip from this security flamingo: New Year is perfect for password updates! (Though between us birds, I hear passphrases are where it's at - much easier to type with these feathers! 🪶)

Wishing my entire #infosec community a safe, secure, and hack-tastic 2025! May your packets be clean and your firewalls stay strong! 💪

💗 Flamingo leg wiggle Hello Security Fam!

It's your favorite pink party bird @sashatheflamingo here, standing tall (on one leg, as we do) with some post-BSidesChicago reflections!

You know what's better than a flamingo pool party? Seeing how our BSides magic is still spreading its wings! While this week might have brought some stormy weather, I'm still riding high on our conference success:

- Watching our flock grow stronger and support each other
- Seeing first-time speakers soar to new heights
- Spotting BSides swag in the wild (almost as fabulous as my feathers!)
- All your heartwarming messages about the impact of our gathering

And hold onto your feathers, because 2025 is going to be EXTRA FLAMAZING!
🎉 We're doubling the fun with TWO FULL DAYS:

Day 1: Workshop Wonderland 🛠️
Day 2: Main Conference Magic 🎤

Remember, like any good flamingo knows - we're strongest when we stand together (even if sometimes it's on one leg). 💖
Keep that BSides spirit flying high! ✨

🏆 MASSIVE shoutout to our absolutely PHENOMENAL CTF team!

Y'all brought the HEAT this year! Watching you create those mind-bending challenges, mentor students from UIUC and Texas A&M, and keep that room PACKED and BUZZING all day was nothing short of spectacular!

The energy in that CTF room was ELECTRIC - every solve, every lightbulb moment, every victory cheer just showed how much impact you're having on our community.

To see students and seasoned pros alike diving deep into your challenges, learning, growing, and having an absolute blast? That's what #BSidesChicago is all about!

Thank you for pouring your expertise, creativity, and passion into making our #CTF an unforgettable experience yet again! 🔥
