Off topic but the right crowd is here, would anyone be interested in starting a hardware security community? Edit: https://lemmy.world/c/hardwarehacking is live! It's still a work in progress but all are welcome to join.

Yeah okay.

My hardware knowledge is limited to ruining many sets of alligator chips trying to dump a virus from an infected UEFI/rewrite the chip so that I'd have a usable motherboard and a nasty virus to poke and prod at.

I guess I've always managed to set an esxi server to route internet traffic through a PC so my IPS can get at it and drop the bad stuff. Still trying to figure out the SIEM piece.

And smart lights / plugs. Many, many many of those.

I've got a decade of experience as an AE in a very techy field though.

If it's a choice between me and a homeless guy then I'm definitely the guy.
