It’s been less than a month since I joined the Cobalt Strike team. My first impressions of this team have been overwhelmingly positive. As Raphael transitioned out, He left us with a message “Cobalt Strike is in good hands.” I couldn’t agree more.

What can you expect from me? I’m here to provide input and guidance to Cobalt Strike’s overall direction, but more importantly, I’m here to interact with and learn from the community to help drive the best improvements. I encourage you to reach out with questions or discussions on offensive or defensive security topics. Consider following us on Twitter @joevest, @CoreAdvisories, and @HelpSystemMN if you’d like to keep up with the latest news on Cobalt Strike, Core Security, or HelpSystems. You can also find me hanging out in the BloodhoundGang #aggressor channel on Slack.

I titled this post “There’s a new deputy in town.” You may hear my voice more than others on the team, but I am not the sheriff. I’m just the newest member of a fantastic team. We all play different but crucial roles. I’m excited to start this new journey with this great team.
