My few brushes with Infosec folks makes me think there&#x27;s a general socialization problem with the field, not really just a &quot;jerk&quot; problem.<p>For example (and I know it&#x27;s still a fairly young field), but simple activities like cataloging and sharing knowledge learned so far seems to be something that just doesn&#x27;t get done. So the wheel gets reinvented over and over and over again. I&#x27;m actually kind of amazed at how many half-assed log parsing&#x2F;visualization&#x2F;analysis tools there are. Doesn&#x27;t anybody in infosec centralize knowledge other than adversaries?<p>The feel I get from infosec conferences is more of a dick waiving contest and tribal activity than an honest information sharing activity.
