Every PoC on GitHub these days needs to be assumed fake until proven otherwise.
Our Call for Participation will close on 7 June - if you have a talk, workshop, or performance you'd like to give at EMF, there's still time to submit!
An 8TB hard drive that was $129.99 a year ago is now $299.99.
Thanks, AI. You're really making the world a better place.

I also tested another PoC and it was even more fake. i.e. it didn't even create a CLDAP structure that made sense.
I get that PoC||GTFO is a thing, but we've clearly entered a phase where it needs to be Verified PoC||GTFO. π€¦ββοΈ
I don't get out much these days but here's a talk I gave at the North American OSS Summit recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZquMucBZnaQ
For 19 years, GPS satellites have secretly broadcast a βnumbers stationβ in their public signals. We decoded 12M messages: a 2011 flash where 31 of 32 satellites flipped in hours, βghostβ substrings repeating years apart, and a βTEXTβ prefix spreading now. https://lsc-pagepro.mydigitalpublication.com/publication/?i=865273&p=62&view=issueViewer

A friend reported a LPE to Microsoft and in the advisory Microsoft fucked it and wrote a wrong description saying the vuln was in MMC.
Consequence: people wasting hundred of dollars on AI trying to analyze the wrong files just to get a fake PoC because AI brainwashed them πππ
"A working PoC" and the AI released a supposed MotW bypass. The real vuln was a LPE to System.
What a clown circus π€‘
One principle Iβd like to be enshrined in law:
If you create incentives that reward a behaviour, you can (and will) be charged as an accessory in any case where someone is doing something illegal as a result of optimising for that behaviour. An affirmative defence would need to demonstrate that you had safeguards in place to effectively disincentivise that behaviour.
For example, if you are running a delivery company and you set targets that mean people are paid more if they drive or park illegally, you are automatically charged as an accessory to however many counts of dangerous driving your drivers are charged with. If you are a city councillor and vote to close all of the public toilets so that thereβs nowhere for taxi drivers to relieve themselves, you can be charged as an accessory to a few hundred counts of public urination.
