I can agree with this, though I’m presumably (based on the language) earlier into my career. The deeply technical parts & the counter culture found in reversing forums & places like DEFCON are still thriving & always awesome.

However, it’s also full of bullshit & marketing that want to convince you that every little technical detail is a vector for a potential cyberattack! You don’t want to be the next business suffering from ransomware gangs, do you? Better purchase our advanced endpoint detection powered by AI/“Neural Networks”, and don’t forget your automated security scanning designed with ChatGPT and quantum encrypted database backups to stop the Chinese/Russian state actors/hackers in their tracks!
