Cool project: "Nepenthes" is a tarpit to catch (AI) web crawlers.

"It works by generating an endless sequences of pages, each of which with dozens of links, that simply go back into a the tarpit. Pages are randomly generated, but in a deterministic way, causing them to appear to be flat files that never change. Intentional delay is added to prevent crawlers from bogging down your server, in addition to wasting their time. Lastly, optional Markov-babble can be added to the pages, to give the crawlers something to scrape up and train their LLMs on, hopefully accelerating model collapse."

We are looking for an Android security expert to join our team and work on securing Chrome on Andoird. Job posting is available at https://google.com/about/careers/applications/jobs/results/104891950447895238, but also feel free to reach out to me directly.

My team in Chrome Platform Security is hiring for a senior Android security expert - if you're into syscalls, binder, processes and other low level stuff you'd be perfect - I do this but for Windows and didn't know Chrome or much C++ when I started.

The ad is generic but feel free to ask questions - https://www.google.com/about/careers/applications/jobs/results/104891950447895238 - you'll be a part of a wider security team that works on lots of cool stuff and protects billions of people - https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/quarterly-updates/

Following our #38c3 talk about exploiting security software for privilege escalation, we're excited to kick off a new blog series! 🎊
