It’s conference & festival season—♪ the most wonderful time of the year ♪

…bc I get to send my most ludicrous graphic design requests to local print shops and see which are brave enough to deliver

Very excited to share that I’ll be presenting at @sleuthcon.bsky.social in June!

Jim & I will share the backstory behind AkiraBot that didn’t make it into the blog—and what they’ve been up to since.

Mood board while drafting my @sleuthcon.bsky.social CFP submission (thanks for the sweet challenge coin, Sleuthy Sleuthington!) 🐍

A friend made these, similar energy

I do that regularly! That may explain why everything feels better when I’m in Europe

I finally feel like the stars are aligning!

And if they aren’t, I’ll move them myself. Someone’s gotta do it.

Everyone wants my data tho, hardly unique to the void

Lately, the call of the void is increasingly loud.

And today, the void says to install Xiaohongshu for research purposes

Hell yea, wya?

our network has raised hundreds of dollars to give firefighters the zyn they need to keep protecting LA from the fires. Thank you!!

Apparently I’ll be last minute lobbyconning at Shmoo. Say hi if we should hang!

OMG! I should complain on social media more often. You are a lifesaver!!! TYSM

The aggressive junk filtering and no new mail badges still sucks but huge quality of life improvement. ⭐️

Brutal. I haven’t had that issue, but that’s unacceptable.
My problem is that messages are automatically sorted to the new categories and I don’t see them (bad UI decisions) and I also no longer get new message badges so I have no idea when messages arrive. Also everything goes to Junk now.

Oh hell no. Onboarding email sent to junk? I’d be done.

I would like to take a moment to reflect on how awful the updates to the iOS Apple Mail client have been.

It’s practically unusable now and everything sent to junk is legitimate mail. Huge downgrade.

Is it just me?

I hadn’t seen the cat one!! Love how it turned out

CTI is the cause of my brainrot but I really cooked on this #salttyphoon #telecomhack

I need to look at the other LLM’s API key formatting to see if I can hunt for tools using them.

I found Predator through a different hunting rule I made for malicious cloud tools—I started hunting for OpenAI API keys after I found Predator using one.

Good times in DC. WAG drag was a success!

For our unofficial post @cyberwarcon.bsky.social WAGINT party, I LARPed as Pavel Durov’s WAG, Juli Vavilova.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen more malicious tools using AI since Predator. I scrape VirusTotal for any scripts that contain an OpenAI API key. No other major finds yet.

We have those on the West Coast too! But far fewer spies

The In-N-Out Info-Ops patch from @cyberwarcon.bsky.social goes so hard!!!

Kudos to whoever designed that—love to see West Coast representation at a DC con 😎

Who else is blowing off F1 for Cyberwarcon?

F 👏 THEM 👏 CARS

See all you real WAGs there!

Iirc there is a field in the skeet metadata for boolean “is_first_skeet”. When True, could tell feed to drop the post if you feel it’s too noisy.

I don’t mind the intro posts, but tbh I haven’t had time to keep up with the feed in its entirety 😅
