Casino work, I’m a slot attendant at a Native American Casino, been working for the Tribe and the casino for 20 years now!
There isn’t much about the gaming world I don’t know as I’ve worked many different positions within the casino over the years. And No I don’t gamble myself, lol, I’m there to make money not spend it!
The casino I work at a couple years ago teamed up with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley from KISS, changed their look to a Rock & Roll Theme and added one of their resturaunt chains to the mix.

Oh wow that’s so cool!!!
I’m a Software Developer - I’ve been doing it (professionally) since 2005. I enjoy it a lot and I’ve done a lot of different technologies/platforms.
I’ve done everything from mobile, desktop app, web apps, to Flex/Silverlight (anyone remember those?) to databases and monitoring for hacking attempts.
In short this field is always advancing and challenging and keeps me entertained.

Just curious do you just help out or do you work under a security operations team when maintaining intrusion detection? I’m currently trying to find some work as a SOC analyst or a cybersecurity analyst but the market is in a crapshoot when it comes to IT in general. Can have experience as a Help Desk support engineer and a sys admin alongside security+, Cysa+ certifications, and currently studying for CASP+, and HR will still laugh in your face

I’m part of a team. SecOps is only part of the job. Our team manages login or authentication/authorization into the App and all the gateways into our APIs so naturally monitoring for attacks/intrusion detection comes as pqrt of that.
I wrote a custom script that retrieves the data from the third party (paid SaaS solution) that helps monitor attacks to dump all that data into a database and then I have an open source UI/charting tool on top of that to allow ease of watching for attacks.

Ahh I see, so I would assume your charting tool is similar to a SIEM, where it can ingest your data and hash out certain threats and malware if need be, while also monitoring real time data. I’m just hoping that a lot of your attacks aren’t from phishing campaigns. It’s crazy to think a lot of compromises still come from user error
Sounds fun man, hopefully one day I’ll get into a similar role. Would have loved to stayed at my old company but I had to leave because of family issues. The struggle for a similar position continues

The paid third party tool does a lot of that for us. They monitor all our every points and watch for critical things like SQLI (SQL Injection attacks), XSS (Cross site scripting), bots hitting the site (it can help detect things pretending/Imposter to be Google or BingBot). Because they’re an industry leader any suspicious IPs from other websites automatically get flagged on our site and have a higher chance of getting blocked.
My charting tool just allows us to easily analyze the data. This allows us to see what’s coming in vs what’s getting blocked to see if we need to add new rules/limitations to our site.
I hope that helps

I find it a bit ironic that you’re more likely to get a virus from a church website over an [Redacted] (4 letter word) site. >.>

Welcome to the community then. Im disabled and dont work anywhere however im still useful around my house. Believe it or not not working at a job is rather boring and the fight to be labled as disabled took 2 full years so i can’t recommend going my route but in my case work almost drove me to suicide on multiple occasions. Im better off just collecting disability than working at a job.

Not me. Never worked a pizza joint. When I was young, I sold dope. 
So I enabled the pizza joints by giving their customers the munchies.
