I’m heading out for a few days with the crew from RECKAH Publishing.

In case you haven't heard about our new comic series, The Future Is******. It’s a wild blend of sci-fi, tech, and good storytelling.

If you’re in the area, I’d love for you to stop by, say hi, and talk shop for a bit.

Almost ready for SOC CORE Skills.

Remember this is a Pay-What-You-Can course.

Here’s the deal: you pay what works for you- whether that’s full price, a little, or nothing at all.

See you there.

Backdoors and Breaches and free comics forever!

We are going to cut them back at @wildwesthackinfest.bsky.social. They will still be an option, but not given to everyone.

We want the people who are interested to be able to do it. But giving it to everyone is a waste.

Undocumented commands found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023 contains undocumented commands that could be leveraged for attacks.

Undocumented commands happen all the time.

However, this article brings up a good question.

At what point are they a β€œbackdoor?”

3. I cannot stress this enough. Always try to be kind.

2. For all projects have a version and/or code management system.

Just a couple more things.

1. Don’t tell people they are going to be let go when they are done with a project.

At best they will do crap work.

At worst they will sabotage.

Developer guilty of using kill switch to sabotage employer's systems A software developerΒ has been found guilty of sabotaging his ex-employer's systems by running custom malware and installing a "kill switch" after being demoted at the company.

We will be seeing more of this with layoffs in the government and in industry.

Start preparing.

Anyone know of some space we can use in the DC area?

We want to take our Pay What You Can classes on the road this summer.

Same thing for training. Training orgs making money off teaching FOSS tools should be giving back to those projects.

Is your commercial offensive AI automated pentesting tool a collection of open source tools?

Do they donate to those open source projects they use?

If not, ditch them.

Sick of companies getting millions in funding on the backs of the Infosec FOSS community.
