Growing up, Sesame Street taught me the importance of education, empathy, and kindness.
Bugs Bunny, on the other hand, taught me that revenge on my enemies should be quick, clever, and brutal.
Cool backdoor and cool operations.
BPFDoor mega thread.
I've written about BPFDoor, a Unix implant discovered by PWC Threat Intelligence, which is being used as part of global surveillance for years.
Crypto. Fraud. Scam. …nature is healing.
I'm a securities lawyer who works at a prominent cryptocurrency company. So please believe me when I tell you: the @OthersideMeta sale was likely an unregistered securities offering. This isn't FUD; it's reality, and BAYC holders should know what's up.

Something good about American law for a change.
***MY COUSIN VINNY LIVE-TWEET: THE RULES***
This lecture explores the cinematic classic 'My Cousin Vinny' through the lens of English and Welsh law.
Contributions and observations are welcome, but I'm perfectly prepared to tweet the entire film to a wall of embarrassed silence.
A little OSINT reveals that Ukraine is receiving Bayraktar drones. Cool

Evidence the 🇺🇦 Ukrainians are actively being resupplied TB2s during the war.

A little¹ cryptography history
Interesting @GCHQ confirms the pigeon message was sent using a OTP. I thought it might have been Typex. My theory was sent around 1942 due to age of birds, possibly to Southern Command HQ as I've seen X02 on signals sent there. Red capsule used by Army.

My unsolicited advice to young hackers: don’t get stuck for too long with CTFs, don’t be afraid to move to real-world stuff. It’s more fulfilling and interesting than you think.
Chances are that real-world challenges are even easier than CTFs (for some definitions of “easier”).

This bill is bull. On the same page as it says it’s to promote free speech online it says it’s to keep the internet safe for families or some bullshit
So... the UK put together a report to justify their Online Safety Bill to regulate speech online. And it claims this is needed, in part, due to so many kids being exposed to bad things online. But the details show nearly all of that is... "swearing or rude language"

Great. The dystopia is here it just isn’t etc etc
A world in which the government uses location data, online search history, and text messages to bring charges pregnancy-related charges against women is already here. It's just not evenly distributed yet.

This fully-specified model fits all the observations and thus constitutes a plausible explanation of what's going on.

This is the new official policy here too
cancelling all “colonial pipeline anniversary” takes, because no one at the highest policy levels gave a fuck when schools and hospitals were getting hit with ransomware — but god forbid gas prices go up.
it’s the anniversary of a reminder that “profit>good” drives incentives.

Apple releasing some good stuff
as well as some cool stuff (security adjacent) called PGZ (Probabilistic Guard Zalloc) github.com/apple-oss-dist… which can be used to passively find both UaF and OOBs at a very cheap memory cost on development kernels.

One thing most people don't understand intuitively is exponential growth. At current estimated r0, every single active twitter account will be posting megathreads about how life was better as a medieval peasant within 5-6 months.
The perhaps most Oxford™️public service announcement of all time: my college informing us about the latest developments around the badger alarms 🚨🦡

Quite the development to fly under the radar
