It is interesting to see what you get at the lower price points. They obviously don't think much of testing Azure apps and forensic imaging. Sorry to whoever wrote those

This Humble Bundle has a lot of really good hacking books from No Starch Press, and it supports EFF! Get it!

I know face blindness is a thing, but is icon blindness a thing as well? I can stare at a set of icons I use every day and any that are vaguely similar kinda merge. Chromium, Shutter, Signal are all round blue things and I have to really think to work out which is which.

is Obsidian still the recommended free note taking app? I'm finally going to remember to cancel Evernote before it renews again next month.

Does anyone else like minty biscuits? youtu.be/MDzVnkh_-EY?... @christruncer.bsky.social does this call make any sense to you?

As @patrick.risky.biz often says, it isn't dumb if it works. If all it takes by bypass secret detection tools is a bit of base64 then the fault is in the tool, not the thing doing the evasion.

A beautiful morning for a junior parkrun

I think I finally understand string interpolation in jq. Took me a long time to work it out, but it is actually quite simple now I understand it.

Just got a notification about a Pixel 10 security upgrade. This upgrade will give me the ability to customise it with a theme based on Wicked. I wonder if there is any evidence that a Wicked theme keeps the bad guys out. If so, I've got a new business idea! Even without proof, I still may do it!

I want to spend some time in the Troll timezone, both where it really is, and where it should be based on my imagination.

Have you ever wanted to sign up for a conference and turn up, just to go to a booth of a company who ignore customer service requests so you can take the request to an actual human who can't easily run away? ParentPay have abysmal customer service and I'd love to talk to an actual human about it.

I've just checked and with Jet2 I can take a bike box up to 32kg for £35 per flight or I can take a 22kg hold bag for £31.75 per flight. I'm going to ditch my suitcase and start flying everywhere with a bike box!

Bits of GitHub are down again. share.google/FsgmxEiCdmsl...

I've just read that the cycle to work scheme may be axed or limited to £1000 next week. If anyone is thinking of signing up for it, do it now, just in case.

I'm sorry coach, I know I wasn't supposed to be doing any full distance triathlons next year, but I was doing the hoovering and slipped and my finger accidentally landed on the enter key. It was an accident, honest!

Looking good a good tutorial on debugging with ghidra. I want to set breakpoints, change flow, and modify memory values. Is that possible?

I don't need heating in my office when I'm running Burp!

So, who's gonna blood my new @hackinghub.bsky.social challenge? 😼 Challenge 🔗 app.hackinghub.io/hubs/mother-... First 3 solves will earn the "Hacker Cat" role in my discord server ➡️ discord.cryptocat.me #ctf #capturetheflag #ethicalhacking #cybersecurity #infosec #offsec

Anyone else seeing SSH connection issues to GitHub?

A lot of people slate HMRC, but I messed up paying something and one of their call centre people just spent 15 minutes on a call helping sort it all out. All nice and easy, all fixed, really good support. Got to give credit where it is due.

A brilliant write up of the Gladinet Triofox vulnerability by @rapid7.com attackerkb.com/topics/5C4wR...?

Pippa's theatre group just won the Culture and Heritage award at the Sheffield Youth Awards for their play about George Stephenson and the start of the railways. Very proud.

And parade two complete. All went smoothly apart from Pippa not being able to see as she put her helmet on wrong.

First day of Rememberence Day parades done. Bigger one coming up tomorrow.

Spent the morning giving a talk about the cyber security industry to y13 students at a local college. Seemed to go down really well and looks like a few are now considering it as a career option which is good.

Happy birthday to Neil, one of our co-flounders and top bet welsher. May the hendos and dripping run free for you this weekend.

@doublepulsar.com Great CyberSlop article. Small typo towards the end: "I intent to use"

MIT + AI = Cyber Secuirty EPIC research fail: doublepulsar.com/cyberslop-me...

This is a cool attack, create a machine running in Hyper-V on a victim's machine and do all your attacking through that while it runs in the background. www.theregister.com/2025/11/04/r...

An interesting PCI rule: Password Length: A minimum length of 12 characters is required, unless the system cannot support it, in which case a minimum of 8 characters is acceptable. I wonder how much effort a dev would have to put in before the "cannot support" rule kicks in. Changing a regex?

All those people who were smug that they went with MS when AWS went down. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microso... And yes, it is DNS.

GDrive > top right gear: Manage Apps > uncheck Gemini ALSO Privacy > Manage Workspace smart feature settings > two Gemini settings, toggle off (Gemini AI is on by default and it explicity scans and "shares" or "uses" your info and activity across Google products)

Going to see @standupmaths.bsky.social in Leeds tonight. He said to bring calculators along for signing so I am doing.

Happy birthday to @j4vv4d.com , the man, and the beard.

AND episode 2 part 1 is out As boring as it sounds, and it isn't, but the European reformation was an incredibly defining period that leaned heavily on modern technology of the time. Some of those same technologies bleed over into the notion of privacy. I have an Episode planned on Privacy soon.

Episode 2 - Bible OpSec & The British Caliphate - Part 1 - The Tudor Blueprint For Control Henry VII secured his weak claim to the throne by building a surveillance state, using law, money, and propaganda to control the nobility. #History #Tudors #Documentary www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeGA...

Does anyone know how to get hold of AWS setup support by UK phone? I've tried to setup a new account but can't get past the phone number verification step. My support ticket has been ignored for three days so I want to find another way to talk to them.

Spent the morning learning about AWS Cloudformation and I can now create a static website hosted from an S3 bucket. Something I'll probably never need to use, but it was a fun experiment so I'll call it a win.

Someone needs to teach these scammers about negatives: (It's very urgent, please transfer this email to your CEO. If this email affects you, we are very sorry, please ignore this email. Thanks)

oh yeah, the finale of Nukes and Spooks dropped on Friday youtu.be/Kjn7KKN6Lr8 "After WWII, the Soviet A-bomb sparks an arms race for the H-bomb, fueled by spies, paranoia, and Oppenheimer's tragic downfall." #history #documentary ALSO 4 parts are in the playlist www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Happy birthday to our favourite head hacker for the FBI, NSA, CIA, and Farm Credit Administration @christruncer.bsky.social

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the aws cli without credentials? I want to see if I can access things without authentication as well as with.

Just released a video on running CeWL through Docker. youtu.be/8UeKigZdHdE Enjoy

I've got some spare time, what cloud certs are worth me looking at considering I've very little specific AWS/GCP/Azure knowledge but know a lot of the theory. I want things that will help on client engagements but doubt I could go directly to something like AWS Security Sepcialty

Has something important happened in UK football in the last week or so. My Google news feed has been pushing football based stories on me all week despite me telling it I'm not interested every time.

Bought a bosu ball for my gym and it's got a great warning sticker on it. Did you know that... The ground is a bulging phenomenon It sounds like a claim from a flat Earther
