Off topic but the right crowd is here, would anyone be interested in starting a hardware security community? Edit: https://lemmy.world/c/hardwarehacking is live! It's still a work in progress but all are welcome to join.

Be the change you wanna see. If you make it ill join it.

Yeah okay.

My hardware knowledge is limited to ruining many sets of alligator chips trying to dump a virus from an infected UEFI/rewrite the chip so that I'd have a usable motherboard and a nasty virus to poke and prod at.

I guess I've always managed to set an esxi server to route internet traffic through a PC so my IPS can get at it and drop the bad stuff. Still trying to figure out the SIEM piece.

And smart lights / plugs. Many, many many of those.

I've got a decade of experience as an AE in a very techy field though.

If it's a choice between me and a homeless guy then I'm definitely the guy.
