Sometime around 10am PDT on March 29th, 2011 someone in the InfoSec world had a clever idea to create a twitter account that anyone could log into and vent frusterations they had about the InfoSec industry or whatever else they wanted to. Whoever did it remains unknown but luckily I was able to snag this screenshot from another browser after I realized it had been shut down only 4 hours after it was created. I estimate that there were roughly 60-80 people who ultimately logged in and vented on this soundboard. Twitter caught on as it was pretty much starting to go viral.
The bio first read:
“I am Jack’s infosec-induced rage. Password is Infosec, come log in and vent your rage anonymously. (And get yourself +1 followers)”
Then was changed to:
“I am Jack’s infosec-induced rage. Come log in and vent your rage anonymously. The password is guessable. So figure it out.”
Ultimately, this was a brilliant mashup of twitter and 4chan. My hat goes off to whoever thought of this.
