Defcon cfp rejection email received. I knew it was a long shot but I submitted anyway. It was a basic topic and I enjoyed the research.

Woke up to a 2k bounty from Postman. 🤘🏻

Announcing my new threat modeling experience. You come visit me on the farm, we hang out by the fire and talk about threat modeling and build a pen for the goats.

Came up during conversation on what to make for dinner. Prompt: snoop dumplings, pho shizzle

these hacker trading cards were so much fun at defcon last year. help bring them back! www.indiegogo.com/projects/bla...

No badge, no face; no authority.

Makes me happy to see public commits fixing a couple high severity bugs I've submitted to programs in the last couple weeks /jig

The goats have been named. Meet Pebble and Puddle.

No dairy except local product at my local IGA because of the UNFI hack. Denial of Cheese.

Always a nice day when triage confirms your bug and adjusts the severity to high from /shrug

Hack the planet!

Red team has arrived on-site and is doing preliminary recon.

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

A couple of goats arrive on the farm tomorrow. I’m not ready for this modification to my threat model. 😅

We've updated and republished our guide to surveillance-resistant protest, first published in the summer of 2020. Paywall is down for this. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

lol at 4o lying and telling me it’s made kale chips before. Ok computer.

Hank says good morning.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

It's rarely a mistake to look at things from different angles.

I think I'm somehow required to promote this paper (note: I haven't read it) "EPF: Evil Packet Filter" cs.brown.edu/~vpk/papers/...

I don’t know why some targets grab my attention and won’t let it go. Worthless bugs on targets that don’t matter most of the time.

oh hello honeypot; I do not have time for you today.

Interesting read on adapting developer workflows with (functional) AI Code Reviews: refactoring.fm/p/ai-code-re...

I don't think vibe coding is an issue. It's just more untrusted input. Developers should be enabled to splash around recklessly with prototype code in development environments. The problem is that most devs have over provisioned access and vibe code enters production with minor scrutiny.

It’s possible to air fry a book of matches for 8 minutes at 350 and nothing bad will happen 😅

This year’s contest was an rp2350 based “crypto wallet” with secure boot, encrypted flash, protected OTP, disabled debugging, and the glitch detectors turned up. The design is meant to be a target to easily replicate Aeden’s attack against the chip with no desoldering

We won the LayerOneCTF again this year. I believe that continues a streak started in 2019

We won the LayerOne CTF. Once again the team that runs the contest knocked it out of the park. We were happy to see some good competition this year. It was very close. infosec.exchange/@LayerOneCTF...

Once again, if your LLM system combines access to private data, exposure to malicious instructions and the ability to exfiltrate information (through tool use or through rendering links and images) you have a nasty security hole This time, GitLab: simonwillison.net/2025/May/23/...

I love that my computer is just randomly spouting off "Pwned by EvilPacket" because of the payload I worked on yesterday. Guess that persists...

Just got done recording a demo of a vuln I found today in a developer tool and when I got done I thought "this is way too complicated / too many steps to get code execution, there must be a shorter way" and then 10 minutes later I found the shorter way.

My colleagues and I at @securitylabs.datadoghq.com did a deep-dive on some recently discovered malicious VS Code extensions targeting Solidity developers. Check it out here: securitylabs.datadoghq.com/articles/mut...

Won’t apologize for my garden jokes. You want the hacks you gotta stay through the cringe farm crap.

Cilantro defense in depth.

Bitch, Peas.
