Registration is open to all RECon classes!

As usual, I’ll be teaching Windows Internals. This is the only time this year that the class is offered in North America 😊

And if windows isn’t your thing, there are lots of other great classes!

#security, #research

Someone knows Bash disgustingly well, and we love it.

Here's our analysis of the Ivanti EPMM Pre-Auth RCE vulnerabilities - CVE-2026-1281 & CVE-2026-1340.

This research fuels our technology, enabling our clients to accurately determine their exposure.

Good news. We just published the Firefox Security & Privacy newsletter for 2025 Q4

@wolf480pl "We were in the jungle. There were too many of us. We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane."

Very important post by @kagihq (feel free to ignore the AI CEO-speak at the beginnig):

Feels like Sun spot activity is wild today...

@froge In theory maybe, in practice these updates introduce breaking changes (see my mention of QA).

@pancake I don't even remember when I last posted on LinkedIn but based on my e-mail notifications that last one will echo in the eternity!

As developing a decent QA process for Linux distros seems to be impossible I don't get how enabling automatic updates by default seemed like a reasonable thing to do...
