Fuzzing can do more than find memory corruption vulnerabilities. With the right invariants, it can catch runtime errors and logical issues, as demonstrated by our custom testing harness for Fuel Labs. https://blog.trailofbits.com/2024/06/17/finding-mispriced-opcodes-with-fuzzing/

The year is 2030.

Computers boot directly into the browser. IDEs are just a web app now, running in the GPU. No one knows why. Or how.

All programs run in 4 nested containers on top of a hypervisor abstracting over the 5 major computational clouds. The last time a branch was predicted correctly, in any CPU anywhere, was 4 years ago.

Cloud costs are withdrawn directly from your retirement fund.

Ext7 just came out, it's written in Javascript and uses AI to guess what the file may contain.

It includes more than 10 interactive widgets for you to try out AES-GCM, GHASH and the nonce reuse attack right in your browser! (Powered by and )

If you're interested in , (or ) or you might find it interesting.

If you do read it, I'm all ears for feedback and criticism!

Just published age v1.2.0 ✨

Minor release:

• binaries built with Go 1.22.4
• plugin client API
• CLI edge case fixes
• RecipientWithLabels to make auth'd or post-quantum recipients

Very happy about the last point, it was the last hardcoded thing about scrypt recipients.

Look at that! I got a new domain name.

My latest blog post shares the story of how I got the domain name, including my nerdy teenage dreams, failed OSINT, the "Miniatur Wunderland", and my aunt!
