  1. North End Police Station, Greenwich St., San Francisxo

    Built in 1912 to maintain security during the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition nearby (of which the Palace of Fine Arts is a remainder), the North End Police Station was abandoned by the 1980s.

    The impressive Spanish Colonial Revival building became San Francisco Landmark #218 in 1996, and has been converted to private use as a residence and art studio.

    An imposing Spanish Colonial-style building with a phone pole in front of it. Some of San Francisco's bright green cherry-headed conures (parrots) sit on the phone wires above the scene.

    With pet birds, my special interest is senior birds, rescue birds, peachfronted #conures

    Note: Courtney was about 27 years old at the time I took this photo. He lived to be 29 years & 11 months, very old age for a small conure.

  3. CW: My introduction!

    Since I'm pretty new here, and I got a whole pile of new followers last night, I figured I'd post my own #introduction! Peer pressure etc. :)

    In my non-professional life, I'm a #Canadian living in #Seattle (been in the US since 2013), I have a cool husband named Chris, and we have two pet #parrots - green cheek #conures (GCCs) named Clang (like the C compiler) and Sharp (like C#).

    Professionally, I've been interested in or working in #infosec kinda forever.. in highschool I used to write hacks and cheats for Starcraft / Diablo 2, some of which are on my GitHub profile. They don't work anymore, of course, but you can see what my old C++ code used to look like :)

    Then I went to university at the University of #Manitoba, got a #compsci degree, and worked as a programmer before having a bunch of different infosec jobs - most recently, Google and Counter Hack.

    These days, I'm a Lead Security Researcher at @greynoise where I spend all day analyzing network traffic to look for vulneraiblities. I get to write them up on GreyNoise Grimoire, give talks about vulns that I think are cool, and do any kind of open source development that I find interesting!

    I also develop #CTF challenges, particularly for #BSidesSF. We release everything open source afterwards, so you can run them yourself or see our solutions. I also write about them on my blog - although, since I write semi-professionally now, I don't write much other than CTF writeups there.

    And finally, me and a bunch of friends founded a #hackerspace called #SkullSpace in like 2012, which is #Winnipeg's best (also only) hackerspace. I haven't been there forevvver, but I'm still a card-carrying member and look forward to visiting again some day. I also help run The Long Con, Winnipeg's premier community security conference!

    It's great to meet all y'all!
