You are listening to a show from the Reserve Q. We are airing it now because we had free
|
|

|
|
Alright, welcome to a Q&A episode where I answer some of those questions that are lingering
|
|
out there.
|
|
Now I am your host, Lurking, Priand.
|
|
Now Priands are misfolded proteins that have the ability to transmit their misfolded
|
|
shape onto normal variants of the same protein.
|
|
It is not something that should happen, but it does.
|
|
So essentially, it is a protein that can make another protein take on its own shape.
|
|
So yeah, Lurking, Priand, I am there, I get in your brain, I tickle it, and who knows.
|
|
Maybe even manipulate it to do something you didn't want to do, like be more secure.
|
|
Like I could do that.
|
|
Alright, the question was brought up, I had mentioned that I was an MM.
|
|
That is a career field in the US Navy called Machinismate.
|
|
We work down in the engine room dealing with the big equipment we do with the main engines
|
|
that drive the ship.
|
|
We deal with the power generation, the generators that make all the electricity.
|
|
We also deal with the distilling units that make all the water.
|
|
So a lot of heavy equipment down there.
|
|
Lots of water, lots of steam, lots of fun, lots of heat.
|
|
So when my time in the Navy was up, I gladly parted ways, I only did eight years with them.
|
|
That was more than enough for me.
|
|
And then I joined the Air Force as a tech controller, 3C2.
|
|
So that career field, we were responsible for the back end of one computer to the back
|
|
into the next, whether it was across the room or across the world.
|
|
So whether it was a local area networking or long haul, including SACCOM, we dealt with
|
|
all of that.
|
|
We did not deal with what was on the computer itself in theory, however, in reality that
|
|
almost always fell by the wayside.
|
|
So I started out with Marconi Networking, moved into Cisco Networking, and there I moved
|
|
into a position called Circuit Actions where we were engineering out new configurations
|
|
of builds for different locations on the base.
|
|
From there I moved into a facility coordinator office position where I was liaison between
|
|
DISA and all of the DOD sites in the local region, which gave me a good chance to get
|
|
into the policy and procedure side of security.
|
|
Definitely a lot of interesting stuff there, disaster recovery, disaster preparedness, business
|
|
continuity plans, lots of good stuff in there that I managed to tuck under my belt.
|
|
From there, security, like I say, has pretty much always been there for stand foremost.
|
|
We just kind of moved in and flowed along with it as it progressed.
|
|
Along the way, cyber attack, cyber defense, red team, blue team, ethical hacking, setting
|
|
up security programs, setting up MSSPs, lots of fun stuff, played in healthcare, played
|
|
in a financial sector, DOD, and a few others.
|
|
So I've got a bit of wide range of experience.
|
|
I like to share my passion for security, and that's one of the main reasons why I'm
|
|
doing this podcast.
|
|
It's just kind of to share my cyber evangelism, if you will, and hopefully make some recruits
|
|
along the way, if nothing else, maybe convince you to use the internet a little bit more safely
|
|
than you did in the past.
|
|
I've got a number of different episodes that I've already got lined up in the queue and
|
|
more on the way.
|
|
So if anybody happens to have any more questions that they want to know, go ahead and throw
|
|
them away.
|
|
I'll be sure to answer them.
|
|
Until next time, this is Lurking Pryon.
|
|
You know a little bit more about me, and, hey, I'll see you next time, Cheerio.
|
|
Thank you for listening to another episode of The Stuff, Evil Steve, doesn't want you
|
|
to know.
|
|
I'm your host, Lurking Pryon, getting in your brain, and perhaps scratching an itch that
|
|
you didn't know you had.
|
|
Until next time, try to stay safe on the internet, and win it out.
|
|
Quit clicking shit!
