FLARE #AdvancedPractices has a rep of being a rowdy, hell raising analyst squad (in a nice, fun way). Our culture is to challenge our company norms, demand excellence, take risks, make mistakes, fail & succeed repeatedly. It's who we are.

A #FF of some teammates & team friends:

@ItsReallyNick and @danielhbohannon taught me to $DoTheNeedful, whether I was asked to or not, Ship It and See What Happens

@danielcabaniel @Int2e_ @mykill @sj94356 taught me to pull on threads that others might not know how to pull

@a_tweeter_user @wattsopp @mikesiko taught me to be humble and candid

@SElovitz taught me to increase my reach and manage sticky situations

@pr0cy0n taught me to love a challenge and push myself every day and to pay attention to details

@dwire taught me what not to tweet :D

Forgive me if I missed a few. I have so many friends throughout Mandiant that have worked with me and helped me and the team through the years on a myriad of intrusions, malware, TTPs, campaigns, clients, technologies etc. Thank you all and happy friyay.

Also shout out to Todd P, who may exemplify the best of all of us.
