“No person ever audits the same code twice. For it is not the same code, and you are not the same person.” (In response to accidentally checking out a slightly older version of code for a vuln, but the older version didn’t have the vuln, it was added in a newer version…)

You know what, British Museum cataloguer? Maybe this artist was doing their best. Maybe it was their first go at dolphins. Maybe they've never even SEEN a dolphin up close. Maybe painting dolphins onto a pot is harder than it looks. God, everyone's a critic.

Want to get into || improve in vulnerability research & exploit dev? My suggestions: 1.Pick a recent CVE in an open source target that interests you 2. Study the code until you thoroughly understand the issue (write it up) 3. Write a repro PoC 4. Try to write an exploit for it 🧵
