OffSec Discord Club
I produced, presented, and recorded educational content in OffSec Club, which is a discord group with the tagline "Have fun learning about securing stuff!"
Originally started as a college club, OffSec grew as we started accepting non-students to the club and posting recordings to YouTube. Our most popular Temple of PWN series teaches viewers a solid security foundation and presents practical examples of attacks.

Weber State University BITS Club
BITS was a club at Weber State University for students interested in CS and IT. It was a great way for students from different majors to come together and learn.
- Scheduling, hosting, and facilitating talks from local tech groups: Mongo DB, Linux Suse, and Dimensions 3d.
- Participating in a weekly forum focused on emerging technologies.
- Printing in the 3d printing lab (and fixing the printers...).
We also had two small coding contests and various seminars. It was an enriching and rewarding experience.
Intel and Reconnaissance
I'm interested in emerging data breaches and new malware.
For ransomware intel I prefer "ransomfeed.it". The website is nicely maintained and has an RSS feed which is nice.
I'm planning on setting up some feeds that alert me of large data dumps. Currently I occasionally browse relevant forums (Nulled, Breached, etc.) manually and casually.
Threat monitoring feeds like "threatmap.checkpoint.com" and others are fun even though they're not particularly useful beyond the fun factor.
BugBounty amateur "Participant"
I'm not very active on here anymore, and bug bounty hunting isn't nearly as profitable as it was just back in ~2019, but it's something that interests me. Here's my account: https://bugcrowd.com/SevenLime
