Attached: 1 image While monitoring a DDoS botnet today, I pointed out to a victim org if they pointed their DNS record at the attackers C2 server, it would cause the attacker pain.

Unredacting documents by feeding them into LLMs and asking them to fill in the text.
So I started pasting REDACTED documents into AI and asking it to estimate what the contents could be given events at the time with LLM's... Its a worthwhile past time, AI's pretty good at predictive text and reading historical data.

A little earlier, I found Windows CLFS 0-day used in ransomware attacks. But at that time, I've been tracking this actor for a year and they used 5(!) different CLFS exploits. Is there something seriously wrong with Windows CLFS? I decided to investigate. https://t.co/wgo9cxAc3w

We have something coming for CLFS. I hope to share details early in 2024. https://t.co/lj7SS0imia
