I made a thing: it's called the DNS Museum, and it's because I kept joking at the start of my talk, "Bizarre and Unusual Uses of DNS" that a lot of the things weren't alive anymore - so it was more like a museum of DNS and I was the curator. Anyway, I'm on holiday right now so I finally got around to doing something about that joke.
Consider this a first draft, I have way more notes about other things to add at some point. It's also a little bland, but one thing I'm not is a designer. Let me know about any issues - AI was used to help create the site, but of course I'm responsible for any mistakes. It's on GitHub too, so PRs are welcome.
Some brief thoughts on AI in hacking and optimizing for speed:

RE//verse 2027 is on the way, and you should probably be there! If you know, you know. If you don’t, this is a very good year to fix that. https://re-verse.io/

For my birthday, my brother-in-law gave me a 4992-digit hex number that, when used as a seed for Python’s random number generator, makes it so that printing a sequence of “random” ASCII characters actually prints a birthday greeting.
I find it rather amazing that this is possible!
This is the program he sent with the seed:
with open("seed.txt", encoding="ascii") as handle:
seed = int(handle.read().strip(), 0)
r = random.Random(seed)
pending = ""
while True:
character = chr(r.randrange(128))
if pending + character == "\x1e\x1f":
break
print(pending, end="")
pending = character
print()
CVE-2026-88771 - the loaded Citrix footgun went off again, and the screaming noise is back in our ear.
You knew it was coming - enjoy the latest watchTowr Labs blogpost.
I know this is going to sound crazy, but what I’d most like in a printer is one where, when I tell it to print something, it prints.
My second problem with computers and IT is that nearly nobody understands software anymore and I feel so-called AI will make this much worse.
