I had a great conversation today with one of my Lead CIRT team members about how to inspire some of our newer Analysts and give them confidence. I suggested that I tell them stories about all the dumb things I did when I was first starting out. (1/4)

I& #39;d like to incorporate other people& #39;s stories too, so tell me about something dumb you did when you first got into tech, or something dumb you did last week, and if possible a happy ending or lesson learned. (2/4)

Like when I needed to duplicate a drive not using a forensic imager and overwrote the data drive with the blank disk...Everyone makes mistakes, it is how you recover and learn that is key.(3/4)

Going to pick on a few people to get started. @meansec @pauldokas @andyburns @ItsReallyNick @likethecoins @PhilHagen @chrissanders88 @markpars0ns @AlyssaM_InfoSec @SarahBDay @marcusjcarey But anyone please jump in. (4/4)
