Sasha the Dancing Flamingo<p>🦩 "Good morning security flock! *stretches one leg elegantly*</p><p>Sasha here, doing my morning TCP/IP exercises - you know, the Three-Way Stretch Protocol! Speaking of basics, did you know that just like flamingos learn to balance on one leg before attempting synchronized swimming, security pros need to master their fundamentals?</p><p>Fun Flamingo Fact: We flamingos filter-feed by standing on one leg. Similarly, good security isn't about applying ALL the fancy filters at once - it's about understanding each layer and how it works! </p><p>*pauses flamingo yoga to share wisdom*</p><p>Things that make Sasha sad:<br>- People thinking containers automagically fix vulnerabilities<br>- Forgetting how email actually travels across networks<br>- Missing out on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BSidesChicago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSidesChicago</span></a> tickets! </p><p>Things that make Sasha dance:<br>- When you can explain TCP vs UDP without mentioning encryption 😉<br>- Understanding why logging is your best friend<br>- Getting your BSidesChicago ticket and joining our flock!</p><p>Remember: Just as baby flamingos start pink and get pinker, security knowledge grows stronger with good fundamentals and continuous learning!</p><p>Ready to join our security waddle?

Peter Dodemont<p>I never wrote a proper <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> so here goes.</p><p>I have been working in "IT" for over 15 years. Starting all the way at the bottom and working my way up.</p><p>I mostly work in small and medium sized business as a security professional. Helping them to uplift their security posture. This involves a lot of education around the basics and what is and isn't good practise and/or value for money.<br>Being in that space does mean I still do a lot of "traditional" IT work (i.e. IT Ops). I really enjoy the variety that brings.</p><p>Outside of work I play video games, dabble in 3D printing and home automation.<br>Other people tell me I'm a foodie, so I guess I am. I'd probably describe myself more as a dessert aficionado 😋​</p><p>I'm <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nonbinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonbinary</span></a> and prefer they/them.
