@alg0w I don't think programming languages are the bottleneck where these tools are used. I can sort of understand Frida (primarily targeting mobile, where JS is indeed huge), but Windows?

I can't wrap my head around why people keep choosing #JavaScript as their embedded language.

All vendors should have a plan for rapid remediation in the case of active exploitation.

Here’s some emergency fix strategies we’ve seen over the years:

Good news or bad news depending on your POV: Usenet archives are suddenly easy to dig through, thanks to a new service. It’s built by a big data guy, and it’s packed with every awkward thing you ever wrote in a newsgroup in 1997.

@luc @infosecdj "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."

@cR0w The fun part is the old product never really goes away so you can have the bugs of the old *and* the new one!

(And that's the Ciiiircle of Life)

You can always tell when vendors like Palo Alto are getting ready to announce a new product because they start making their existing shit even worse so they can say "that's fixed with this new product."

Sam Altman says he believes the world should accept “bad things” happening with AI in exchange for the benefits of the technology.

I've always disliked that I couldn't test Kerberos in CI easily and so I've written a #PowerShell module called Obol that can setup a KDC and configure the environment for the platform you are on https://github.com/jborean93/PowerShell-Obol. Uses @syfuhs.net's Kerberos.NET for the message parsing and encryption work.

The ICECUBE experiment is so sci-fi, it deserved the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Francis Halzen was all, Hey, let's drill 2500-meter holes in the ice at the literal South Pole and put neutrino detectors down there.

The experiment fills an entire cubic kilometer. That deep ice is so pure that there's nothing for the neutrinos to hit except water molecules, and such collisions produce other particles that then move faster than light speed in ice so produce a flash of Cherenkov radiation, which is what the detectors see. Seeing high-energy neutrinos for the first time is helping with a bunch of outstanding astrophysics questions.

Funded by US tax dollars...yeah, we used to build cool stuff.

I've been following this guy for a while now, but this turned out exceptionally good and important! I won't spoil the conclusion, you should watch it.
