Cook Like a Hacker

good morning yes the morning I am the last lock before lunch so I'm talking about food cool this talk is just some fun i put together I like to cook and I'm flirting packing and stuff like that so I found some similarities and thought it would be kind of fun to talk about besides great for that kinda stuff the next thing okay I'm not talking about simple stuff like takeout pizza ramen noodles cereal and stuff like that that's everyone does that kind of stuff and I'm talking about taking a dig near stuff to the next level trying to figure out how to cook better i'm also not talking about baking baking is hard and it takes precision cooking is something

you can do with all sorts of stuff and you can experiment and play around of things you get into baking this there's there's you got to be like really precise with things and there's a lot more techniques that go along with that i'm also not talking about presentation i suck at making food look nice I put it on a plate and it works as long as it tastes good that's what's important to me though about me I love to cook I love thee I started cooking probably around ten years old I was a latchkey kid so from fourth grade on I was home alone until my parents to come over work so I had to figure out how to cook and how to

deal with stacks after school stuff like that early on time I was in high school I was cooking one meal a week at least full meal and I my mom has lots and lots of spices and herbs and all this kind of stuff around house I didn't have the ability to let go and figure all this stuff out this was well before Google and things like that so I kinda had to learn by smell and taste so I had to kind of figure things out experiment she was going on so in my day job I do ICS Cana assessments and designs I'm an engineer on I'm a programmer basically I'm an electrical engineer that learned

how to program and I'm not a hacker but as I've been learning a lot more about the hackerspace and stuff like that I can't figure out there's sort of a mentality and a weight that hacking kind of gets done so this is my little thing of what the hacker mentality is there's a lot of equipment tools resources information everything it's all sorts of things out there sort of question everything so why does it do that what's this oh that looks interesting let me go look into that there's a lot of sort of this just questioning mentality and then a lot of experimentation and figuring things out yourself you can teach yourself a lot just by looking at online

resources there's tons of stuff out there book everything out there to like learn from and there's also a community and people that want to share this information with other meetings so sharing with others that's another big thing about the hacker sort of mentality and then teaching others what you know so sharing with others just basic information and learning for others but then also teaching it to other people and really try to explain stuff to somebody else so you can learn or better yourself so there's lots of equipment out there cook and stuff and lots of stuff on the network security side there's lots tools there's lots of techniques so I mean you got grilling barbecue bacon fresh hooks

you bring up subi last the talk roasting students on the right hand side yeah assessments audits packed an active scanning pen test we're driving all its messed up to them and then there's resources tons and tons of resources this is actually pictures for my bookshelves here so lots and lots of cookbooks out there lots and lots of books on nice security and programming and different ICS kind of things and scada and all my stuff's out there lots lots of stuff online Google is your friend you don't like Google their thing with Yahoo there's DuckDuckGo really want to secure it's either and soon our pinterest and places like that date they have tons of information recipes recipes are a good

place to start anything on the same thing on the security side procedures everyone has a procedure for some but if you want to learn something new great do that do a recipe first figure it out but then learn from there if you try to make something very specific if you know that you want to make this particular recipe and you need to reproduce it for a large number of people or maybe you're trying to actually go and make it for competition or some like that and do it with a recipe a lot of times mostly just suggestions for amounts and times and temperatures and things like that it's always going to be to taste comment in a

recipe because everyone likes it slightly different same thing with security I mean if you're trying to do something very specific yeah recipes very good procedures they're very good laying out if you're doing a dark sip water or something like that you gotta lay out and have your checklist right there but most of time it's a suggestion for a workflow how you would go about doing a pen test or something okay you know for a pen test you're going to start with OPSEC and then you're going to do some social engineering or something like that vulnerability assessment you start out with a pink sweep and then you do some sort of passive scanning for that new

paint sweep to figure out what devices are out there and maybe move on to an nmap below bed and then madam scan or something and and so that kind of stuff but then there's always going to be something you find in that vulnerability assessment that is something you want investigate for something some device did something you didn't expect and so now you want to investigate further so now you know you have to adjust what you do and the procedure you follow based on what you have to find during during your assessment you're always going to have requirements and constraints cocaine maybe your field Koecher allow vegetarian or vegan low salt no solved the allergies all sorts of things may be

on the right hand side there's always going to be stuff you run into when you're running assessments or going things oh you can't touch that system over there that's that's too fragile and it won't handle anything or this is this is out of scope maybe maybe you're doing maybe a company comes to you and says they want to pen test well do you reason what a pen test or do you just want a vulnerability assessment do you actually want us to go and do social engineering on your employees do you want us to do a hardware or like a physical pen test on it where we actually look for places where you've got the unlock doors and

your guard gates and stuff like that so it's those kind of questions and constraints that you run all time

and experimentation ok there's a couple quotes from Thomas Edison experimentation is a big part of packet you've always got to try and experiment with new things experiment with different techniques maybe you hear about this new software that's out there and you want to play with it so you got to figure out maybe sell lab internally in your at your site or in your test systems that you can go and play around with it and then then you can actually add up to your like list of things that you can actually claim that you can do has it been solving too low well if you've never tried it there's no way you're going to go and do it in a

customer site probably so you gotta try maybe you fail a couple times same thing with cooking you're gonna fail or what is considered not what you were looking for so maybe you want and you went trying to this particular recipe or something like that then you threw in something maybe too much salt and then you had to change it because you need to throw in some potatoes or something like that to absorb the salt or then you had to change the recipe summer you throw a little bit this this other thing you're so there's always going to be problems to run into and cooking and you gotta kind of roll go how things work just recently I made

a mistake of trying to put I didn't have milk so I was making tuna casserole I didn't think I have milk on site I had vanilla almond milk tasted horrendous it was an experiment to see if it would work and it didn't quite work out the way I thought I couldn't stand it turned out actually one of my relatives did like it so they said that talk about they took the whole thing I didn't like it didn't end up how I I thought was a failure but they like so a couple examples of things that kind I found that are good things to play around with an experiment so pizza and rice pizza okay even own a restaurant find all

sorts of stuff and pizza restaurant takes great when you get it actually at the restaurant you don't take it home it typically tastes outstanding why is that typically its heat and it's the dub keep their at home when you make pizza you can get your own tell a lot of times say to put your oven to 400 okay that's ring a pizza ovens typically 650 or higher if you're dealing with a brick oven pizza that's up to a thousand you're not going to get your typical in-house oven up to those temperatures so what do you do well it turns out your broiler can actually get up to those temperatures or at least 600 difficult if you got a self-cleaning oven you can

really get it up if you really wanted to try but a broiler and i will get around 600 so cook it for the base about 400 and then when you're trying to get nice little crispy crunchy like Bert cheese on top put the broiler on for two minutes at the very end cooks nice Pizza grills also work really well I get my girl to a hundred degrees so it they cook really well now you gotta pay attention to it and learn how to do it because him you got experiment and play around with stuff but you can actually cook some really good pizza on a on a grill the dough that's another one of things reproducing at home it depends on

what level you want to go to are you going to be Alton Brown and go and make your own know from scratch at home well yeah if you want to try that but I suggest a couple methods first before you do that I even go on my Bobby Lee bubbling crusts or like most grocery stores will have their own brand of crusts and they're okay if you do buy one you probably one by one that's uncooked because it will actually cook in the oven better but I have gotten into now buying fresh dough and rolling it out myself and with that you can actually stick you get some really good pizza and stuff that will taste a lot

like a restaurant-quality pizza at home and then scratch and going there's tons of recipes online fine how to make your own though I haven't gotten there yet rice is another one there's plenty of ways to make rice why do you do it the way you do Uncle Ben's s Oh probably not it's actually actually not one of the best ways to make rice um and then why does rice end up like this big ball of goo most of the time yeah it's okay good when you first make it but then give it half an hour and it turns in its big block well a lot of times that's cause of starch so one of the first things you

got to do is rinse your rice rinse off all that extra starch on the outside unless you're looking for sticky rice like a making sushi or making like rice balls or talk that he'd probably don't want to star cheer us really gooey rice so written oh so just take and rinse in the bowl you'll see it it gets cloudy pour that water off rinse it again it'll get less cloudy rinse it again maybe it's not cloudy up at that point so that gets off most of the starch next thing is is boiling I've got a name to the point where I boil it like pasta pasta you put a big amount of water and you

boil it and then you go and strain off afterwards and basically what happens is you you're boiling it in enough water they can handle any extra starch it's on the rice and then you get nice big fluffy rice afterwards it doesn't stick together you don't have to do this like okay it's got to sit there and put the top on that you don't touch it for five minutes or you don't touch me 20 minutes or things like that actually you don't have to worry about the amount right you don't have to worry about the remount of water you don't have to worry about how long it cooks you do but then again you took it you don't like pasta take a

couple pieces out you taste them for the crunchy stuff like that and kind of experiment of times figure stuff out microwave that's another good thing you can actually microwave rice and he'll come out pretty good usually depending on the power your microwave at 11 minutes but again micro is designed to heat water and make steam trying to do with with rights eat water and make steam so can be pretty good job with that sorry kind of wandering around Leah one of the big things is you want to share what you do with others it sucks to make food all by yourself because generally all you get is leftovers and dishes so try and try to go and actually

make food for others invite friends over it my family over and it'll give you motivation also to try and like make food make something cool make something different you can kind of play around things and yet idea what to do but then really it's all about sharing sharing stuff with others and then teaching others you got to teach the next people to learn how to do this better as well so picture my daughter we're making sure to teach her early on like how to cook she's going on actually uh she's flipping pancakes and stuff like that by herself now and using this oh and she's six I'm hoping it to get her to learn how to do all this stuff so that she can

teach her kids and whatever i'm also trying to make this fun it's not about trying to make it a chore where she got to do this because it's her responsibility no I want to actually enjoy them it's all about having fun

I think that's de mi time I just kind of other said it's kind of fun Smith some ideas I've had as I prone and in my experience doing doing computer sperience
