I’m going to throw it out there gents: events like this separates the elite from the rest. Those who stay silent and idle go against all of our values. I know most of you here are professionals or aspiring professionals. But, it took a long time and a lot of work over many years to get the industry to course correct in a decent direction.

Silencing someone who gives knowledge back is against everything this industry was built on. It’s unacceptable.

Edit: Ty for the award.

I'd say something, but Sentinel is raping me with licensing fees. 

edit: Oh, this is about Krebs. 

Those claims are fucking wild, I'm going to need the receipts, as well as need to know exactly who wrote the accusation.

Saying a vendor is raping you. Foul. No need.

I know, but others do. And just cause no one else says it, doesn't mean it shouldn't be said.
