What people call “mental illness” is most often the result of pathological, radicalized network configurations. See my paper below.https://t.co/iJoa0RsLS7

How do you leak an OEM private key for a trusted boot system. What kind of incompetence leads to that key ever being in a place where it can leak. And if that key can leak, what secret keys aren’t going to leak? https://t.co/6uzDHI0aVQ

Did you know you can recover scrubbed metadata from a PDF that wasn't scrubbed properly?
The changes are incremental, and the history is stored in the PDF.
This command removes the "updates" to the PDF metadata:
exiftool -PDF-update:all= file.pdf pic.twitter.com/jMB9sfOA0k
As I understand it, you need to remove the data with:

exiftool -all= file.pdf
Then you need to “re-linearize” the PDF with something like qpdf:
qpdf -linearize file.pdf scrubbed.pdf
See the paragraphs at the top of the “PDF Tags” section at the top of this page.…

Oh Buddy. You’ve done more than make them think about it. You’ve bonded them forever in a group text where one of them will share a wedding photo or promotion news and one of the others will say “i don’t know, SMELLS LIKE FAILURE.” And then they’ll all die laughing. pic.twitter.com/Di1M62gZuN

Belgium legalises ethical hacking: a threat or an opportunity for cybersecurity? - CiTiP blog
On 15 February 2023, Belgium saw the entering into force of a new ‘whistleblower’ law, which legalised ‘ethical hacking’ even for cases where the hacked entity did not consent to it. In order to benefit from such decriminalisation, the law poses a number of conditions for ethical hacking, that have to be fulfilled in order […]
Under the new law, "serious disruption" is defined as a person/organisation being "hindered to more than a minor degree". Almost any protest imaginable would satisfy it. What we have actually done, therefore, is criminalised protest at the police's discretion. https://t.co/vJApTPad2S

It's also, and this is not as minor as it sounds, a crime against language. 'Serious' cannot possibly equate to 'anything more than minor'. This extremely broad and slippery use of language is a key mechanism in the purposeful expansion of executive power.
