I’ve had to fight with the ego of the author for the first 20% of the book. I’ve thought about dropping it a few times, but I’m glad I didn’t. The second half of the book is really inspiring.

I’ve been teaching my daughter how to solder and after we’re done with this last week, my wife reported that my daughter had a boost in her math scores.

The stolen calculator is now back among the other assembled soldering kits.

translated doc boston dynamics.pdf View the files shared with you on JioAICloud.

Looks like someone tore down a BostonDynamics Spot and published a 200 pages detailed report.

Hey, you guys, look at this. Hey, you guys ever heard of this guy?

Okay it says, "Chester Copperpot: Missing while in pursuit of local legend. Reclusive scavenger claims, 'I have the key to One-eyed Willy'."

Whoa, do you guys realize what we could do?

Have a security talk you think could hit harder?
Drop the link and I’ll dissect the delivery, not the content.

You can drop the best 0-day or present a novel attack vector…
But if the audience doesn’t get it, it didn’t land.

A good talk isn’t just clearβ€”it’s designed.
β†’ To make people care.
β†’ To move decisions.
β†’ To be remembered.

Cybersecurity Needs Supercommunicators The skills cybersecurity needs most? Deep experts who can clearly explain the balance between security risk and business priorities.

Cybersecurity doesn’t just need brilliant minds.
It needs supercommunicatorsβ€”people who can turn complex ideas into clarity, urgency, and action.

Here’s what I tell the speakers I coach for Black Hat 🧡

Today we’re studying variables with Python. Using containers to hold paper notes with values scribbled on them. Ideally operands should be of a different color, but I ran out of post-its πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ

Very happy to be keynoting at #NoHat2025 and talk about how to secure all that silicon, firmware, and hardware that powers modern AI datacenters.

Thanks @nohatcon.bsky.social for this opportunity!

I am convinced 99% of websites should use magic links + passkeys.

It bypasses all (debatable) portability objections to passkeys, it’s at least as secure as email-based recovery, as fast as a password manager, it’s available to all users… and importantly, no passwords!

I pay to be part of Strava in the same way I pay to be part of a gym or exclusive book club, because I like what I do and I perceive value.

Anyone knows other interest-specific socials worth exploring?
