I taught my first class back in 2009. I have taught many classes since. I think something I quickly learned was everybody had a better experience when I was enjoying myself. So I did things that made the class more fun for me. Things like explaining cryptography through Shakespeare, use case diagrams via method of... Continue Reading →

First mini in 10 months.
CISSP Certified
I got certified as CISSP this week. The preparation was grueling. So much material to cover. The exam itself was fair, but the test questions in the beginning were really weird. I was at first a bit taken a back but then onve the 25 test questions were out of the way it was smooth... Continue Reading →
Security+ Certified

I was very lucky in terms of my extremely talented co-authors, thanks to them years of confusion was distilled into this practitioner... Continue Reading →
Scripting for Kiddies
As part of our efforts surrounding the Danish Cybersecurity Championship, we are offering a course on Bash scripting. While we used Haaukins platform for some activities, one can carry out the exercises on any Linux machine (maybe a bit less easily). As part of the course, I created content that includes videos, tutorial documents, exercises... Continue Reading →
Two Minis in One Go
Today I painted two Gloomhaven minis, the spell weaver and eclipse. Both were depicted as night scenes in the character art, so I choose a simple wash based approach for both. The figures were primed with zenithal highlighting earlier, so the washes just gave the atmosphere for the minis. Eclipse was no frills, just some... Continue Reading →
