🚂 Speaking at Hobocon this July, a hacker conference on a moving train. "All Aboard IDOR Express" - how when submitting a CFP, I found an IDOR showing me all of the security conference's submissions. OWASP A01. 🚂 July 17–18, KC ↔ Chicago. www.hobocon.com Nothing like a captive audience.

My talk "Too Big to Review" was just accepted at @blueteamcon.com 2026 🎉 September 12th in Chicago - come hear how we scaled AppSec at AWS without scaling the team. #AppSec #BlueTeamCon

The night of October 20th, I woke up ice-cold. My bed had cooled all the way to 55° F and I couldn't adjust it at all. The irony: this was due to an AWS failure. Read more about removing my bed's cloud dependency. blog.adamschaal.com/posts/2025-1...

I dockerized a proof-of-concept for CVE-2025-55182 (React2Shell) here - github.com/clevernyyyy/... Original POC by github.com/msanft.

Super excited for the World Cup draw on Friday. ⚽️ 🥅 Can't wait to see what matchups we can attend!

Writing is something I'm always challenging myself to be better at. This fall, my friend @themattvirus.bsky.social and I were pleased to attend BruCON, a security conference in Belgium and I've finally managed to put together my BruCON review: blog.adamschaal.com/posts/2025-1...

I always appreciate the little details in the DEF CON 402 ornaments from @tvidas.bsky.social like this one from 2020. Hard to believe how long our community has been together, really thankful for the friends I've made in dc402.org. ⚡ talks in December!

Yes, @themattvirus.bsky.social and I visited the Louvre on our trip to BruCON. Yes, we cased the jewels, and noted that their cameras were obsolete [1] for our talk, but no, we did not steal them. [1] www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Speaking at BruCON in t-minus 12 hours with @themattvirus.bsky.social. We've prepared as much as we can with waffles, beer, and club mate, we are almost fully Belgian now. 🇧🇪

Bluesky vs Twitter on my pixel fold.

At AWS, our GenAI development is moving at 🚀 warp speed. With new tools popping up faster than browser tabs in my macbook, my team created Nebula – a system to track all our GenAI initiatives. Today, we just launched an AI assistant to help upload new tools to Nebula tracker.

Thrilled to share that @themattvirus.bsky.social and I are speaking at BruCON this year! The lineup is 🔥 so far and we can't wait to reconnect with our amazing European hacking friends. Always a highlight to be among that fantastic community. www.brucon.org

🎯NIST's updated security guidelines finally hit the mark. 1. No more forced password changes 2. Longer passwords beat complexity rules 3. Security responsibility shifts to providers where it belongs. Common sense security FTW. pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp8...

1/n - Today at kernelcon.bsky.social, we were notified that our registration was down. We immediately jumped on our phones to check and sure enough, clicking our registration buttons led to a 503. However, our eventzilla admin page was up, and we could access our event through that site, hmm?

For 311 day, don't forget to kick it Omaha Stylee and get your tickets to @kernelcon.bsky.social! youtu.be/rokq0CIfXXk?... kernelcon.org

Kernelcon Agenda is LIVE! kernelcon.org/agenda Room block closes on March 7th, please go get your rooms and tickets now.

🤦‍♂️ What is going on? therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

I hate pointing out flaws in a system and the subsequent team expecting my team to own the outcome of escalating for a fix. Ownership is maybe the most important trait of a team leader.

More details on kernelcon.org/robo-race. There might be some custom swag for participants who bring their own robot for the competition!

This is really exciting... I can't wait to see what our community comes up with. Prizes for fastest and best dressed robot! And for the robo-curious we will have our own to play with.

Had a ton of fun speaking at Shmoocon this year, I really enjoyed this con and wish the best for Heidi, Bruce, and the volunteers in future endeavors!

I'm loving my Rivian so far. I picked up the Tri-motor in Storm Blue. If you're interested in an EV, especially one not produced by Elon, we each get $750 if you use my referral code. code: ADAM1508922 Now that they've teamed up with VW, I think they'll be even more popular. #rivian

Wow, this is crazy. A "researcher" uses an LLM to find a vulnerability in curl that is COMPLETELY hallucinated. What a waste of time. hackerone.com/reports/2199...

Had a great time in Germany with @themattvirus.bsky.social speaking at Chaos Communication Camp. I would love to come back in four years!

My wife and I every time I have an upcoming talk. Looking forward to #cccamp23!

Yay, @themattvirus.bsky.social and I just had our talk accepted to #cccamp23 in Germany. On the hunt for tickets now, but sounds like a ton of fun!

Happy to finally join blue sky. Hopeful for potential, but kind of hedging bets all over right now.
