@mttaggart @AAKL @jerry Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the convos I have here! But I definitely don't see the expert2expert interactions (usually not involving me :)) that were usual on Twitter. I don't have numbers, and I also rarely go there, but my _impression_ (this is what counts right?) is that such conversations still happen more on the birdsite, and there's also interesting research _only_ posted there.

@AAKL @jerry True, but part of the problem is that somehow much of the infosec discussions still don't seem to happen here. I'm usually astonished by the amount of content I have to x-post from X...

Tired of using outdated languages for #Ghidra scripting or a REPL that you can't even properly paste into? @tmr232 and I wrote a plugin to embed a #Jupyter #Kotlin kernel for a full Notebook environment alongside your GUI.

@jerry @AAKL I created my account on Akkoma because it had a more sensible approach to search back in the day and I also have an acc on infosec.exchange (Mastodon) just for search. Last time I checked none of them worked as I expect them to work (like I'm unable to find stuff by searching for exact phrases). I know people who don't use Fedi because of this.

It also seems to me that while I follow almost exclusively infosec people, much of the content I see is about unrelated and mostly depressing topics like war, climate change, etc. I get these are important topics, but I guess the last app anyone wants on their phone is a Bad News Machine.

@joeycastillo So glad you are working on this, having some sample code at hand for the accelerometer would be extremely useful!

@infosecdj That's what I feared :( thanks for the feedback!

I’m a software developer with a bunch of industry experience. I’m also a comp sci professor, and whenever a CS alum working in industry comes to talk to the students, I always like to ask, “What do you wish you’d taken more of in college?”

Almost without exception, they answer, “Writing.”

One of them said, “I do more writing at Google now than I did when I was in college.”

I am therefore begging, begging you to listen to @stephstephking: https://mstdn.social/@stephstephking/113336270193370876

Any hints about what can cause these vertical lines on my Featherwing OLED display (SH1107)? Soldering is definitely messy but I dont think that would cause such static, localized errors.

It's interesting to think that "my browser doesn't work with this website" used to mean "my browser is out of date". Now it means "someone intentionally broke this website for my browser because it supports ad blocking"

Everything I knew about Python parameter passing was a fucking lie.

In combination with the research published yesterday by ETHZ into IBPB implementation vulnerabilities on some Intel and AMD CPUs (https://comsec.ethz.ch/research/microarch/breaking-the-barrier/), Johannes Wikner has published a detailed walkthrough of the first cross-process Spectre exploit against a real target, an attack he developed in part during his internship with us last year.

Check it out here: https://grsecurity.net/cross_process_spectre_exploitation

so, it turns out I created a method of producing fully self-contained portable distributions of Python that support arbitrary native modules and don't require recompiling anything https://github.com/whitequark/superlinker?tab=readme-ov-file#python

The first ever end-to-end cross-process Spectre exploit? I worked on this during an internship with @grsecurity! An in-depth write-up here:
