HackBack Gaming

I'm a strong believer in mixing fun and learning. That's why I started using game-based learning for teaching cyber security. I even created a video about it. Here's an appetizer. Find the full length video in the comments or scan the (totally legit) QR code in the end of the video. In the video we're using HackBack Gaming and although originally created for Incident Response, the fun doesn't stop there. I mention a bunch of other ways to use it in the full length video. What do you think about using games like this?

Been playing around with a new HackBack Gaming sticker idea now that I am learning my way around in Inkscape. Simple as it looks, I ended up halfways redrawing the 'B' to make it resemble the 'H' as much as possible and so that I could place the two instances of 'CK' exactly on top of each other. Now the question remains as to where to place the URL to the website. Any thoughts?

At SteelCon they know a thing or two about throwing random stuff into bags and give it away as swag bags. Thanks, I think ??

Off to the airport and SteelCon where I'll be doing a workshop tomorrow on #gamebasedlearning in cyber security using HackBack Gaming with 30 wonderful attendants! Saturday I'll be enjoying the con whilst working for my friends at Black Hills Information Security in their booth along with Kerstin and Velda. Sunday it's the traditional after-con social breakfast. James Bore was so friendly to tell me about it so I could plan going. But before that I am going to the #cybersocial event in Manchester tonight invited by the awesome Stuart Coulson. Looking forward to all of that and to meet awesome folks! And if you see me ask for my awesome stickers!

SteelCon has just released some extra tickets for the "Let’s play HackBack, a fun and engaging IR role playing game designed for learning" with Klaus A. workshop, so if you missed the first drop, you've got a second opportunity. We also have a few tickets left for "Deepening Empathy for deeper human connection" with Gem Hill. Remember, you must have a main event ticket to come to the workshops.

Look what the sticker fairies from StickerApp brought me! The incredibly talented Alexandre Monteiro has been at it again. This time he's come up with a slick design for HackBack Gaming stickers. The sticker itself is matte holo with backprint and it looks freakin' awesome! Kinda like those custom painted cars that has a different color depending on the angel you see it from. Hook me up if you want some. I'm at SteelCon this month and in Vegas next month for The Diana Initiative, Security BSides Las Vegas and DEF CON. Oh and if you need a graphics guy with modest rates and a deep understanding of geekness don't hesitate to reachout to Alexandre Monteiro (or Alex among friends). He is literally my go-to graphics guy and he also did my new website a few months back. It ended up pretty well if I must say so! #incidentresponse #gamebasedlearning #makettxfunagain

This is the closest I've ever been to the famous (yet small IRL) #lasvegas sign. And this August I'll be having the chance to see it again and maybe do that selfie every other tourist seems to be doing ?? I'll be going to Hacker Summer Camp and I'll be around for The Diana Initiative, Security BSides Las Vegas and DEF CON e.g. the entire week.. ?So I really look forward to seeing everybody again! So if you're there too and want to catch up, talk about HackBack Gaming or anything else fun, hit me up! I'll be at the legendary #BSidesLV pool party and staying at the Tuscany (which is where BSides will be held). See you there!

I was at BSides Ume this week where I did a talk on Dungeons & Dragons and why it's the #cybersecurity power tool you didn't know you needed! The talk is about #gamebasedlearning in general and why it's cool to mix D&D into your adult, serious job in cyber security. Afterwards I hosted a couple of games of HackBack Gaming for those who wanted to try it out. I hope everyone had as good a time as I did! And thanks to the organizers for inviting me and setting up this nice event again! Relations Security #HackBackGaming #MakeTTXFunAgain
