Now that it’s been a few hours since Sunday, I’d like to happily share that MMM has gotten the rare 4-peat at DEFCON 💕 my first hit tweet was a reminisce about how far I and my team has come after our 2nd win. On our 4th, I’m just excited about what’s to come next ❤️ 🦆🗝️🍁

My friends say I have nice handwriting + they love looking at my notes. I’m NOT an expert in the topics I write about, these are less “how-tos” and more “fun stuff I learned” so I decided to host a few since I figure they may be helpful to someone:
