CEO @ Crowdalert.
Executive Coach for #secops across the industry.
Back when I was poking around with filesystem fuzzing stuff years back, I noticed something odd:
An EXT filesystem can tell the Linux OS how it should behave "if" the filesystem is corrupt, including triggering a kernel panic. In a world where USB thumb drives exist, this seems... not ideal.
Let's see what happens if we plug such a mass storage device into a fully patched Chromebook in 2024...
Oh.
Coming up Monday, October 28 at 4pm EST: Leigh Honeywell, Founder & CEO of Tall Poppy!
The Crowdalert community is invited to hear Leigh address "Drowning in Alerts? Rescue Tactics for SecOps" in a 30-minute webinar, also featuring Crowdalert co-founders Philip James & John Sonnenschein.

What's the S3 for LLMs? Who out there is taking #AI seriously as new approach to building in the same way that we were taking #Cloud computing seriously a decade ago?
I don't mean "write emails for me". I don't mean "generate marketing graphics for me".
I mean taking seriously the following phrase: "LLMs are to the 2020s what cloud computing was to the 2010s"
In 2024, hearing that MacOS Sequoia "breaks the functionality of security products from Microsoft, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne" seems like a positive.
@kofu oh hey I was at trivia as part of team ztac0catz! It was a blast
Hey if you’re out and about at #defcon32 and want to hang with some drinks for a bit, a group of us are chilling in a hotel bar. DM me!
I ❤️ the Crypto & Privacy Village

Consumer Reports and Tall Poppy join forces to find out if people-search site removal services really work. Unsurprisingly, the answers are "kind of," "not always" and "it depends."
Oh dear.
Google Drive deleted *every* file for the non-profit I volunteer with.
I'm at a complete loss for words.
If you're at #defcon, be sure to snag a copy of the physical #Phrack publication! It has exclusive content that won't be in the online release! #defcon32 #defcon2024
So, yeah, if you use Pinboard, you may want to reconsider.
Tell me again how #GenAI will extract meaningful trends from and answer queries about your data set.
We had a day off in Vegas between the Diana Initiative lockpick village and the Squadcon lockpicking workshop so we went paddle boarding on Lake Mead. It was about 113 degrees F, but the water was cool and the views were spectacular. This is emerald cave.

How do we make it "cool" to be a Python Software Foundation @thePSF voting member?
Matching biker jackets? should we all wear sun glasses?
We're seeking speakers for this year's Languages, Systems, and Data Seminar! 🎉
We meet on Fridays in fall, winter, and spring, in person and on Zoom. Most of our speakers are PhD students working in the areas of programming languages, systems, databases, etc.
If you've never given an LSD talk and you'd like to, nominate yourself: https://forms.gle/jGN6qUqKrQbABJvo8
We try not to have repeats, so if you *have* given an LSD talk before, pass the form along to a friend who you think would give a good talk!
Oops should have posted this earlier: if you’re at #bsideslv or #defcon32 and want a free Specialized water bottle from @crowdalert, come find me! I’m wearing blue today ✨
Finally getting off pinboard.in for bookmarks because the owner has become such a massive tool. Looks like https://raindrop.io is pretty good if you don’t want self-hosted. I’m on it now. JSON import of exported bookmarks worked without a hitch I think.

Without the high-contrast lipstick visible, my Hedy-Lamarr-as-seen-in-Encyclopedia-Britannica costume is a bit harder to recognize, but I'm dressed up and attending #BSidesLV today! If you see me, please say hi! Source photo visible here: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Hedy-Lamarr I'm not sure how long I'll survive in the blazer though...😅
Look, I don’t know if you genuinely believe this or if you live in your own delusional fantasy land and frankly, I don’t care. It seems to me like you’re trying to rebuild your brand image as the “caring paternal father” which I will not let go unchallenged. If I’m going to be honest, this is absolutely pathetic. You just won’t stop lying about me in interviews, books, social media, etc. Thank god you’re absolutely terrible at it because otherwise this would be significantly more difficult
