The Triune Brain
Understanding violence can be tricky (especially for those of us who haven’t seen more than a fight in Highschool), but I’ve come across some great models over the years to help categorize different types of violence as well as how to recognize their motivations. One of the more handy models is the Triune Brain – […]

Training Method Notes
The training methodology employed in Casey Clayton’s Kenpo is a modified version of how he was trained by Mills Crenshaw and Ed Parker Sr. (Master Clayton was awarded his Black Belt by Ed Sr. in late ’62 or early ’63).

Goals for Training
Martial arts are wonderful things, but they can’t be all things to all people simultaneously. There’s simply no way that someone could train elite level athletes, military personnel, law-enforcement, and civilians in self-protection effectively at the same time with the same curriculum – the goals and requirements are just too different.

So what’s to be done? One thought is audit hell – track specific access by user to all resources and review very regularly – I don’t […]

Prevention and Detection
The basic rule of Network Security is “prevention is ideal, detection is a must” – stopping something from getting into your network is ideal, but not realistic all the time. If a nation-state level actor or another entity with a lot of resources wants to find a way into your network – it’s only a matter of time before they find a way in. Once someone finds a way in, detection comes into play.

I recently discovered tryhackme.com […]
