#ost2_5th_anniversary

🥳#OST2_5th_Anniversary🎉 And finally, thanks to all 37k+ folks who are taking classes at OST2! We had our biggest year yet, adding 8k+ students! Being able to teach thousands of people at a time how to become better hackers, better engineers, better toolsmiths, and better explorers is why we do what we do! 🚨Spread the word and let's make more awesome people!🚨

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@OpenSecurityTraining2/116935728908320130 Celebrate #ost2_5th_anniversary with us! It can be donating money to support trainers, donating time creating a training or testing them, or even providing the link for a training to that person you know would be bringing the field to the next level :) I couldn’t be prouder to play a small role on it! Amazing work y’all!

🥳#OST2_5th_Anniversary🎉 We're also going to be running a fundraising push for gamification of the OST2 site with many more details dropping soon. If you want to support that effort you can be an early supporter here: https://www.every.org/ost2/f/lets-gamify-ost2

🥳#OST2_5th_Anniversary🎉 OST2 is made possible by instructors who want to help other security engineers learn skills faster. So what we'd really like to see for this coming year are more instructors teaching more diverse topic areas. If you 🫵 have an idea for a class, reach out at teach at ost2.fyi!

🥳#OST2_5th_Anniversary🎉 So what can we look forward to this coming 6th year of #OST2's existence? We never want to count our chickens before they hatch, but we have instructors who've already recorded videos on classes such as Intel x86 virtualization, Bluetooth Low Energy, Industrial Control Systems, and Cloud-Native App Vulnerabilities!

🥳#OST2_5th_Anniversary🎉 OST2 needs more sponsors to keep growing! https://ost2.fyi/Sponsorship.html If you want your company to sponsor #OST2, reach out via email at "sponsor at ost2.fyi". It's much more cost effective than sponsoring conferences, and reaches far more people!

🥳#OST2_5th_Anniversary🎉 Sponsors like NCC Group @nccgroupplc@bird.makeup, 3mdeb @3mdeb@fosstodon.org, and Dark Mentor @DarkMentor@infosec.exchange are "donors in kind" who have funded their employees to make classes for OST2! Are you a leader at a company that wants to make more security experts faster? Consider letting your employees make classes for OST2 and we'll reward your efforts with visibility as a "donor in kind" sponsor!

🥳#OST2_5th_Anniversary🎉 Partners and Sponsors provide us with funds to help with overhead costs such as running the site, paying video editors, etc, so that individual donations always go directly to instructors to show them your support.
