Day 1 of posting to social media until I get an offensive security research job

First, I’m going to start with what I know – Windows. I need to recreate what I had access to at Microsoft, so that starts by setting up a dev environment and finding a copy of Windows System Internals, perhaps the greatest resource for learning Windows out there. My expertise is in Windows and virtualization, so I’m going to make sure I master those areas.

Next, I don’t think I want to grind coding exercises, but I do need to shake the rust off my coding skills. I think I’m going to start with some HackTheBox challenges and find some CTFs to participate in.

Finally, my long overdue goal: learn Rust. I’m not sure if this will help immediately, as I could choose to improve my knowledge of Python. But Rust was getting more and more popular in the areas of Windows I was tasked with protecting, so I need to learn what all the fuss is about with regards to memory safety.

If anyone is on a similar journey, let’s hold each other accountable in the comments! I will be sure to document any write-ups at blog.maxrenke.com (work in progress).
