Riot Games Dublin InfoSec Meetup

On July 9th, the Riot InfoSec team will be hosting a security event in our new office, which will include:
  • talks from Rioters
  • the chance for you to see and play with some of our security tools
  • time to play some games with us!
Riot is dedicated to positively engaging with the industry and its community, and the Riot InfoSec team are psyched to further that mission in Dublin - we want to share and to learn. If you work in Riot or engage with Rioters, you may hear the term “default to trust” and this is a huge part of our culture. It’s not just “talk”, it’s something that I see on a daily basis and to me, this is very special. I've linked two posts that touch on this aspect below -




As a result, we (in Riot InfoSec) wanted to “walk the walk” also and share some of our failings and successes, and learnings while building some relationships in the community.
The event will have three security talks from David Rook, myself and Peter Tillotson. We hope that these talks will give you an insight into -


  • how we approach application security
  • what we’ve learnt from trying to hire into InfoSec
  • our security-focused big data analysis
We would also like to give you the chance to check out some of our security tools we use. We will have several demo booths setup so you can play with these tools and learn more about the unique challenges we face at Riot.
Finally, did I mention that you can hang around and play games :D

Being a Support Engineer @ 10gen - Part 1

There's a mis-conception around the role of a "Support Engineer".  As a clue, it's not what Urban Dictionary   says   - A person whose job is to answer calls from customers of a small- to large-sized company...... They are teathered to a their desk all day via phone headset........ phone jockeys usually hate their jobs.......they are are paid well enough..........until they completely burn out, and hate everyone.   and doesn't always involve this - Image Source: http://half-bakedbaker.blogspot.ie/2009/11/cannoli-and-broken-computer.html As you can see  here , there's lots of open roles in  10gen  and more specifically with 10gen, in  Dublin . I thought I'd write this quick blog to explain what Support Engineers actually do and why I joined 10gen as a "Support Engineer". I could be wrong but didn't Google come up with term " Site Reliability Engineer " to do away with the stigma associated with being a

LinkedIn Emails

Receiving mails via LinkedIn is an interesting experience. For example, how many folk actually personalise "contact requests" - from what I see, less than 1%. I typically try to because I think it shows some thought has gone into the request and it's friendly, but then "manners" on the Internet is a very different thing to the real world, right ;-) Anyway, to the point of the blog post. In early November (2012), whilst I was preparing my Security Onion presentation for IrissCon  (why did I bother when my MBP died on-stage), I received a very interesting and personal email via LinkedIn. The email came from a "Senior International Belief Instigator" (let's call him the SIBI - to save me typing) at Riot Games and the email was literally awesome, it hit many of the key points that you'd hope for in a recruiter email but it also had a wonderful tone. In my ignorance, I knew of League of Legends but not Riot (yes, I am embarrassed by that). I r

Doing The GSE

So, as many folks know, I went to Orlando towards the end of March to attempt the GSE lab. Both before and afterwards, I received several questions about the GSE :) Therefore, instead of destroying my fingers and typing multiple individual respones, I figured I'd write a short blog on my experiences with the lab section, whilst my thoughts on the written section can be found here . Apologies, this post started off short. Firstly, let me say, that once I overcome the initial nerves (I was bricking it on the first morning), I had a great time. @Chris_Mohan and @asho_relaxo both told me that I'd have fun but I didn't believe them (in fairness, they're not trustworthy characters). Most folk enjoy the first day the most, but I loved the second morning, it was a blast, especially when you come back to that problem that you couldn't figure out and then you nail it :)
