Hey y'all, I know times are really tough right now especially for people in America. I want you to know that you can do the following things without feeling shame:
> Soeak to a therapist
> Hire house cleaners especially if you're too depressed to clean
> Ask for help, either emotional or financial.

We're now in the final stretch for ATT&CK v17 as our Enterprise, Mobile, ICS, Defensive, and CTI teams start making final decisions on what content is going to make the cut. Watch this space in April, and check out what's new.
Celebrate April 22nd with ATT&CK v17!

The next version of ATT&CK is almost here, with new content related to the ESXi hypervisor, broad improvements to defenses, and updates to techniques, groups, and software across the framework.
Always love speakers who repeat the question before answering when the asker was off mic.
Pro conference tip. If there’s a question mic and especially if there’s a virtual audience don’t be the jerk who says “I can just shout” during Q&A. You’re being disrespectful of people who are hard of hearing, the remote audience, and usually the people in the room all at the same time.

Several members of the ATT&CK team are at the SANS #CTISummit today and tomorrow including ATT&CK Lead @whatshisface.bsky.social, Deputy Lead Amy Robertson, Enterprise Lead Casey Knerr, and Technique connoisseur @patrickhowelloneill.com. Come say hi, and maybe grab some stickers!
The SANS #CTISummit is kicking off from a new location in sunny Alexandria, VA with a welcome from co chairs @likethecoins.bsky.social, Rebekah Brown, and Rick Holland. Looking forward to two days of CTI.
Today’s the day! If you’re at #shmoocon and ever considered getting an amateur radio license, you have just a few hours left to cram. We’ll be administering all levels of exam from 1-3pm in the BOF it room. www.shmoocon.org/amateur-radi...

Looking forward to seeing people in person at the final #shmoocon this weekend! Here’s to hoping the Hilton’s properly stocked for lobbycon this year.
Happy Friday! Headed to the last ever #shmoocon in two weeks? Now would be a great time to start studying for ham radio exams. Come join us Saturday of the con and get access to tons of RF frequencies without some pricy spectrum auction.

More details are up at www.shmoocon.org/amateur-radi....

You very much can. All from shore diving this week in Maui.
Patrick Wardle is kicking off Objective by the Sea 7.0 from Maui. Looking forward to what’s always been a terrific conference and community (location isn’t bad too). Just wish the Linux security community had something similar. #OBTS
A ton of folks are still using the old server and are going to be sad December 18th when it's shut down for good and their apps/scrips break.

Moving to TAXII 2.1/STIX 2.1 is more than just a URL change, so the time to get started is yesterday. Please help us spread the word that the end is nigh.
We’re excited to introduce our new TAXII server and the latest addition to the ATT&CK Workbench software suite: the MITRE ATT&CK Workbench TAXII 2.1 Server:

Hi! We're new here, but see a bunch of familiar faces.
Post ATT&CKcon recovery in NYC. These seats will do.
Been here silently for a few weeks, but it seems pretty nice around these parts. Hello world.
